`
`A conference call with the Board was held at 2:00 pm Eastern Time on
`January 9, 2014 between respective counsel for the parties and Judges Bisk and
`Weatherly. Petitioner requested the call to discuss patent owner’s submission of,
`and reliance on, excerpts of deposition testimony in its preliminary responses.
`That testimony was taken in a related litigation subsequent to the filing of the
`petition.
`On the call, petitioner requested permission to file additional excerpts from
`those deposition transcripts along with a reply. Patent Owner objected. Petitioner
`is authorized to file complete versions of the transcriptions of the depositions in
`question. However, no additional briefing will be permitted at this time.
`On the call, petitioner also brought to the Board’s attention a typo on
`page 49 of the petition in IPR2013-00532.
`Accordingly, it is
`ORDERED that Target Corporation is authorized to file complete versions
`of the depositions discussed in the call no later than January 17, 2014.
