`
`PETITIONER’S NOTICE OF PROPOSED MOTIONS
`
`
`
`1 Case IPR2014-00509 has been joined with this proceeding.
`
`
`
`
`
`In accordance with the Office Patent Trial Practice Guide, 77 Fed. Reg.
`
`48756, 48765-66 (Aug. 14, 2012), Petitioner, Target Corporation (“Petitioner”),
`
`submits the following list of proposed motions it currently is considering filing in
`
`this proceeding. An initial conference call with the Board is scheduled for
`
`Monday, March 2, 2015, at 1:00 p.m. E.T.
`
`On February 26, 2015, the parties to this proceeding jointly submitted to the
`
`Board, by e-mail, a proposed expedited schedule to be discussed during the
`
`March 2 conference call. The parties’ proposal anticipates that, subject to the
`
`caveats stated in the parties’ e-mail, there will not be a need for any due dates
`
`beyond due date 2 (Petitioner’s reply to Patent Owner’s response to the petition).
`
`The parties’ proposal requests, however, that the Board set a telephonic status to
`
`occur shortly after due date 2 for the purpose of making a final determination, in
`
`light of the papers of record at that time, regarding whether any due dates beyond
`
`due date 2 will be necessary. Therefore, excluding at least item 4, below,
`
`Petitioner presently anticipates that it will pursue the motions proposed herein only
`
`in the event that the schedule in this proceeding ultimately includes any pertinent
`
`deadline(s) after due date 2.
