`
`JUDGE BUSCH: Good afternoon,
`
`this is
`
`Judge Busch.
`
`I have Judge Medley with me on the
`
`line. This conference was requested by Patent
`
`Owner in IPR2014—00252.
`
`Counsel for Petitioner, please state
`
`your appearance.
`
`sure that neither of the parties have anyone else
`
`MR. EHMKE: Andy Ehmke and Scott Jarratt
`
`on behalf of NetFlix.
`
`JUDGE BUSCH:
`
`Thank you. Counsel for
`
`Patent Owner?
`
`MR. GOLDBERG: This is Joshua Goldberg
`
`for OpenTV and with me I have Eugene Goryunov and
`
`Anita Bhushan. Also I just wanted to let you know
`
`we have a court reporter on the line.
`
`JUDGE BUSCH:
`
`Thank you. And you'll
`
`upload a transcript when that's available?
`
`MR. GOLDBERG: Yes.
`
`JUDGE BUSCH:
`
`Thank you. Because of the
`
`late notice with the telephone call I want to make

`
`that expects to join?
`
`MR. EHMKE: This is Petitioner, Your
`
`Honor. No, we are full in attendance on our end.
`
`MR. GOLDBERG: We are all ready on
`
`Patent Owner's side as well.
`
`JUDGE BUSCH: Okay. Great. This
`
`conference is requested by Patent Owner to confer
`
`about a motion to amend the claims;
`
`is that
`
`
`
`correct?
`
`MR. GOLDBERG: Yeah. We're planning to
`
`file a motion to amend the claims along with our
`
`Patent Owner response which is due next Monday.
`
`And currently we are planning to amend each of the
`
`independent claims to include some further
`
`limitations that find support in the specification.
`
`And per the rules we just wanted to request this
`
`call to discuss any issues that you would like to
`
`discuss, Your Honor.
`
`JUDGE BUSCH: Okay.
`
`I know that -- I
`
`believe counsel for both sides have plenty of
`
`experience in these IPR proceedings.
`
`I guess I'd
`
`just like to provide a few briefs reminders

`

`

`
`regarding the motion and then see if there are any
`
`questions or concerns.
`
`If you want the motion to be a
`
`contingent motion you need to make sure you
`
`indicate that,
`
`that it will be contingent on
`
`finding the claims unpatentable. Otherwise we
`
`won't
`
`look at the response.
`
`MR. GOLDBERG: Okay.
`
`
`
`JUDGE BUSCH: And as the rules state,
`
`motions limited to 15 pages. That includes the
`
`listing of the claims and so each substitute claim
`
`must be identified as a new claim number. And so
`
`in this case if you're proposing new claims for
`
`each of the independent claims, obviously you'll
`
`have a new claim number for each of those.
`
`If you're just focusing on the three
`
`independent claims it seems like you should not
`
`have a problem focusing your argument, especially
`
`with the similar scope of those three independent
`
`claims.
`
`You shouldn't have that much of a problem,
`
`I don't think, with presenting your arguments
`
`within that 15 pages.

`
`
`Conference Call
`
`September 15, 2014
`
`IPR 2014-00252
`
`And as you probably know, generally
`
`speaking you'd want to show how these added
`
`features that you're planning on including are
`
`patentable over all the prior art.
`
`There are a handful of cases that if yOu
`
`haven't reviewed them we highly recommend you
`
`review prior to filing your motion to amend.
`
`These
`
`will provide some general guidance regarding what
`
`to include and how to approach your motions to
`
`amend.
`
`
`
`Nichia —— I'll provide you the matter
`
`numbers as well in case you don't have them
`
`available but I'll also provide them in an order
`
`after this call. Nichia is IPR2012—00005. And
`
`then Idle Free is IPR2012—00027.
`
`Each of these
`
`will provide some guidance regarding motions to
`
`amend.
`
`An additional case that in case you
`
`decide to add subsequent claims that are dependent
`
`claims it discusses how you want to consider those
`
`is ZTE Corp., and that's IPR2013—00136. And that
`
`will provide you some guidance on how you should

`

`
`consider approaching any sort of arguments related
`
`to those as any new substitute dependent claims
`
`will entail new scope from what the old dependent
`
`claims included.
`
`And then, finally,
`
`the case that -- an
`
`example of a motion to amend that was granted is
`
`International Flavors and that is IPR2013—00124.
`
`If you don't have any other questions ——
`
`sorry.
`
`Those are really the only main points I
`
`wanted to raise just to make sure you have the
`
`right information to proceed.
`
`Do you have any questions, counsel for
`
`Patent Owner?
`
`MR. GOLDBERG: Not at this time.
`
`Thank
`
`you for the helpful guidance.
`
`JUDGE MEDLEY: Okay. Petitioner, do you
`
`have any questions or concerns?
`
`MR. EHMKE: This is Andy Ehmke. No, we
`
`do not, Your Honor.
`
`JUDGE BUSCH: Okay. That's it.
`
`The
`
`call is adjourned.
`
`
`
`MR. GOLDBERG:
