`
`STIPULATED REVISED SCHEDULING ORDER
`
`
`
`
`1
`
`
`
`On September 23, 2014, the Board issued a revised scheduling order that
`
`changed the date for oral argument (Due Date 7) from April 15, 2015 to April 21,
`
`2015. See Paper No. 15. On December 4, 2014, Patent Owner and Petitioner
`
`stipulated to a revised scheduling order to change the date for the Petitioner’s reply
`
`(Due Date 2) from January 20, 2015 to February 3, 2015 to accommodate the
`
`deposition schedule. See Paper No. 18. However, the stipulated scheduling order
`
`erroneously set forth the date for oral argument (Due Date 7) as April 15, 2015.
`
`The parties hereby stipulate to the revised scheduling order as shown in the
`
`attached, which corrects Due Date 7.
`
`
`
`Dated: January 5, 2015 Respectfully submitted,
