`Patent 8,305,840
`
`A. DUE DATES
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`This order sets due dates for the parties to take action in this trial. The
`
`parties may stipulate to different dates for DUE DATES 1 through 3 (earlier or
`
`later, but no later than DUE DATE 4). A notice of the stipulation, specifically
`
`identifying the changed due dates, must be promptly filed. The parties may not
`
`stipulate to an extension of DUE DATES 4-7.
`
`
`
`In stipulating to different times, the parties should consider the effect of the
`
`stipulation on times to object to evidence (37 C.F.R. § 42.64(b)(1)), to supplement
`
`evidence (37 C.F.R. § 42.64(b)(2)), to conduct cross-examination (37 C.F.R. §
`
`42.53(d)(2)), and to draft papers depending on the evidence and cross-examination
`
`testimony (see Section B).
`
`
`
`The parties are reminded that the Testimony Guidelines appended to the
`
`Trial Practice Guide, 77 Fed. Reg. 48756, 48772 (Aug. 14, 2012) (Appendix D),
`
`apply to this trial. The Board may impose an appropriate sanction for failure to
`
`adhere to the Testimony Guidelines. 37 C.F.R. § 42.12. For example, reasonable
`
`expenses and attorneys’ fees incurred by any party may be levied on a person who
`
`impedes, delays, or frustrates the fair examination of a witness.
`
`
`
`1. DUE DATE 1
`
`The patent owner may file—
`
`
`
`
`
`a. A response to the petition (37 C.F.R. § 42.120), and
`
`b. A motion to amend the patent (37 C.F.R. § 42.121).
`
`The patent owner must file any such response or motion to amend by DUE
`
`DATE 1. If the patent owner elects not to file anything, the patent owner must
`
`arrange a conference call with the parties and the Board. The patent owner is
`
`2
`
`
`
`
`IPR2013-00355
`Patent 8,305,840
`
`
`cautioned that any arguments for patentability not raised and fully briefed in the
`
`
`
`response will be deemed waived.
`
`
`
`2. DUE DATE 2
`
`The petitioner must file any reply to the patent owner’s response and
`
`opposition to the motion to amend by DUE DATE 2.
`
`
`
`3. DUE DATE 3
`
`The patent owner must file any reply to the petitioner’s opposition to the
`
`patent owner’s motion to amend by DUE DATE 3.
`
`
`
`4. DUE DATE 4
`
`a. The petitioner must file any motion for an observation on the cross-
`
`examination testimony of a reply witness (see Section C) by DUE DATE 4.
`
`b. Each party must file any motion to exclude evidence (37 C.F.R
`
`§ 42.64(c)) and any request for oral argument (37 C.F.R. § 42.70(a)) by DUE
`
`DATE 4.
`
`
`
` 5. DUE DATE 5
`
`a. The patent owner must file any reply to a petitioner observation on cross-
`
`examination testimony by DUE DATE 5.
`
`b. Each party must file any opposition to a motion to exclude evidence by
`
`DUE DATE 5.
`
`
`

`
`
`
`
`IPR2013-00355
`Patent 8,305,840
`
`6. DUE DATE 6
`
`
`
`
`
`Each party must file any reply for a motion to exclude evidence by DUE
`
`DATE 6.
`
`
`
`7. DUE DATE 7
`
`
`
`The oral argument (if requested by either party) is set for DUE DATE 7.
`
`
`
`B. CROSS-EXAMINATION
`
`
`
`Except as the parties might otherwise agree, for each due date—
`
`1. Cross-examination begins after any supplemental evidence is due. 37
`
`C.F.R. § 42.53(d)(2).
`
`2. Cross-examination ends no later than a week before the filing date for
`
`any paper in which the cross-examination testimony is expected to be used. Id.
`
`
`
`C. MOTION FOR OBSERVATION ON CROSS-EXAMINATION
`
`A motion for observation on cross-examination provides the petitioner with
`
`a mechanism to draw the Board’s attention to relevant cross-examination
`
`testimony of a reply witness, since no further substantive paper is permitted after
`
`the reply. See Office Trial Practice Guide, 77 Fed. Reg. 48756, 48768 (Aug. 14,
`
`2012). The observation must be a concise statement of the relevance of precisely
`
`identified testimony to a precisely identified argument or portion of an exhibit.
`
`Each observation should not exceed a single, short paragraph. The patent owner
`
`may respond to the observation. Any response must be equally concise and
`
`specific.
