`RE: IPR2014-00041, -43, -51, -54, and -55
`
`As to the Taggart, Buchner, and Oxford declarations, under the rule set forth in CBS Interactive (IPR2013‐00033, Paper 
`85) depositions of these declarants are not routine discovery.  Nevertheless, Patent Owner has offered to redact the 
`declarations so as to exclude the portions of the declarations which are not cited or relied upon in Patent Owner’s 
`response or motion to amend in the hope that this would assuage Petitioner’s concern about potential reliance on other 
`portions of the declarations.  That, in turn, should make cross examination of the witnesses unnecessary in view of the 
`narrow set of issues which would remain in the submitted declarations.  If this approach is unacceptable to Petitioner, it 
`should proceed to request additional discovery from the Board. 
` 
`In view of the foregoing and the Board’s recent order concerning discovery, Patent Owner will not be requesting a call 
`with the Board at the present time.

` 
`Greg, 
`               Regarding the Taggart, Buchner, and Oxford declarations (Exhibits 2038, 2043, and 2061, respectively), what is 
`the purpose of Patent Owner’s proposed redactions?  Would you agree to produce these witnesses for cross‐
`examination based on the unredacted portions of their declarations (if we agreed to some form of redactions)?  Please 
`advise as to what Patent Owner suggests. 
`Petitioner is available for a conference with the Board on Wednesday afternoon, and will seek at the conference 
`authorization for cross‐examination of Mr. Taggart, Dr. Buchner, and Ms. Oxford (either as routine discovery or through 
`a motion for additional discovery) on their declarations as filed on behalf of Steuben in these IPRs. 
`             
`
` 
` 
`
`             I look forward to your response. 
`Regards,

`
`Thanks for taking the time last Thursday to discuss several pending issues.  I’ve now had an opportunity to discuss them 
`with my client.  As to the Sastry deposition, we agree to make him available for a third day of deposition.  With respect 
`to Taggart, Buchner and Oxford, we will provide tomorrow proposed redacted substitute versions of the 
`declarations.  Turning to the discovery issues, Patent Owner feels that it needs responses to all three of the revised 
`discovery requests. 
` 
`Please advise as to whether you are available for a call with the Board on Wednesday to i) seek permission to file 
`redacted versions of the Taggart, Buchner and Oxford declarations (assuming we reach agreement on the appropriate 
`scope of redaction) and ii) discuss additional information relevant to the pending discovery requests.
