`the respective parties and Judges Blankenship, Medley, and Boucher.
`
`
`Motions
`Neither party seeks authorization to file a motion at this time. As explained,
`if Patent Owner determines that it will file a motion to amend, Patent Owner must
`arrange a conference call soon thereafter with the Board and opposing counsel to
`discuss the proposed motion to amend. See 37 C.F.R. § 42.121(a).
`The parties were reminded that if they seek authorization to file a motion not
`contemplated per the Scheduling Order, the party requesting such authorization
`must arrange a conference call with opposing counsel and the Board.
`
`
`Schedule
`Counsel for the respective parties indicated that they have no issues with the
`Scheduling Order entered July 3, 2014.
`To the extent issues arise with DATES 1-5 identified in the Scheduling
`Order, the parties are reminded that, without obtaining prior authorization from the
`Board, they may stipulate to different dates for DATES 1-5, as provided in the
`Scheduling Order, by filing an appropriate notice with the Board. The parties may
`not stipulate to any other changes to the Scheduling Order.
