` JUDGE MEDLEY: Good afternoon. This is
`Judge Medley. I have with me on the line Judges
`Moore and Busch. I'd like to start with a roll
`call first, first with Petitioner.
` MR. EHMKE: Hello, Your Honor. This is
`Andy Ehmke on behalf of Petitioner Netflix, and
`with me I have Scott Jarratt and Dustin Johnson.
` JUDGE MEDLEY: Okay. Thank you. And
`for Patent Owner?
` MR. GOLDBERG: Good afternoon, Your
`Honor. This is Joshua Goldberg for OpenTV and with
`me I have Erika Arner and Alyssa Holtslander. And
`I also want to let you know we have a court
`reporter on the line.
` JUDGE MEDLEY: Okay. Thank you. This
`is the initial conference call to IPRs 2014-00252,
`267 and 269. As we understand it neither party
`seeks authorization to file a motion at this time.
`We understand that Patent Owner is still
`contemplating filing a motion to amend.

`
` In any of these cases I want to let
`Patent Owner know that they, as they know, they
`must arrange a conference call when they decide or
`if they decide to file a motion to amend and with
`the Board and opposing counsel discuss the proposed
`motion to amend.
` And I would just like to ask that you
`please not wait until the day just prior to the due
`date or close to the due date because it sometimes
`can cause problems. So we would prefer a
`conference call as soon as you know if you would
`like to file a motion to amend.
` MR. GOLDBERG: Understood, Your Honor.
`We will definitely do that.
` JUDGE MEDLEY: Okay. And then for any
`other motion that a party seeks authorization to
`file not contemplated per the scheduling order, the
`party requesting the authorization must arrange a
`conference call with opposing counsel and the Board
`and just you can do that via e-mail just letting us
`generally know what is the issue and when the
`parties are available for a conference call.

` And so at this time I would just ask the
`parties are there any motions that they contemplate
`filing other than possible motions to amend that
`weren't listed? Beginning with Petitioner.
` MR. EHMKE: Your Honor, this is Andy
`Ehmke. At this time no other motions are
`contemplated.
` JUDGE MEDLEY: Okay. Thank you. And
`Mr. Goldberg?
` MR. GOLDBERG: Same here. Not at this
`time, we do not plan on filing any other motions.
` JUDGE MEDLEY: Okay. Great. And then
`any issues with the scheduling order? Beginning
`with Petitioner.
` MR. EHMKE: Again, this is Andy Ehmke.
`None, Your Honor.
` JUDGE MEDLEY: And Mr. Goldberg?
` MR. GOLDBERG: No issues here either.
` JUDGE MEDLEY: Okay. Wonderful. So to
`the extent issues arise with any of dates 1
`through 5 identified in our scheduling order -- the
`scheduling order I believe is identical for all

`
`these cases -- the parties are reminded that
`without obtaining prior authorization from the
`Board that the parties can stipulate to different
`dates for dates 1 through 5.
` So that's a pretty powerful tool the
`parties have between the two of them to arrange
`things the way they want to if the schedule is not
`amenable to cross-examination and things like that.
`You just need to let us know and file appropriate
`motions with the Board. And the parties may not
`stipulate to any other changes to the scheduling
`order.
` Are there any reports of settlement?
`Beginning with Patent Owner, Mr. Goldberg.
` MR. GOLDBERG: Not at this time, no.
` JUDGE MEDLEY: Okay. And that's also,
`Mr. Ehmke, your understanding?
` MR. EHMKE: Yes, Your Honor.
` JUDGE MEDLEY: Okay. Are there any
`questions or concerns?
` MR. EHMKE: This is Andy Ehmke. No
`questions or concerns from Petitioner, Your Honor.

`can get together and try to resolve them.
