`
` THE COURT: Good morning. This is
`
`a conference call in IPR 2014-00506 and
`
`2014-00507.
`
` This is the Judge Obermann. I have
`
`Judge Green and Judge Elluru on the line with
`
`me. I will start with the roll call.
`
` May I hear who is on the line for
`
`petitioner?
`
` MR. SQUILLANTE: This is Ed
`
`Squillante and Ron Koatz from Unilever.
`
` THE COURT: Thank you.
`
` MR. HOUSTON: And Michael Houston
`
`of Foley and Lardner, also on behalf of
`
`Unilever.
`
` THE COURT: Thank you.
`
` Anyone else for Unilever?
`
` Okay. How about for patent owner?
`
` MR. MAIORANA: Good morning, your
`
`Honor, this is David Maiorana from Jones Day on
`
`behalf of Procter and Gamble and I am joined by
`
`John Biernacki and Michael Weinstein.
`
` THE COURT: Okay. Has either side
`
`retained a court reporter for this conference?
`
` I will start with petitioner.
`
` MR. HOUSTON: No, we have not, your

`
`Honor.
`
` THE COURT: Patent owner?
`
` MR. MAIORANA: We did, your Honor,
`
`there should be one on the line, I hope.
`
` THE COURT: Okay.
`
` THE NOTARY: I am on the line.
`
` THE COURT: Thank you very much.
`
` I will ask counsel for patent owner
`
`to please file a copy of the transcript as an
`
`exhibit in due course.
`
` MR. MAIORANA: Yes, your Honor.
`
` THE COURT: Thank you.
`
` Okay. This conference call was
`
`requested by the patent owner and our
`
`understanding is that the patent owner seeks
`
`authorization to file written responses to the
`
`request for a hearing that petitioner filed in
`
`both cases.
`
` So because the patent owner
`
`requested the call, I will ask counsel for
`
`patent owner to please go first and explain the
`
`basis for the release that you request.
`
` MR. MAIORANA: Thank you, your
`
`Honor. Again, this is David Maiorana for
`
`patent owner.

`Page 6
`
` The reason for the request to file
`
`responses, we understand that, you know,
`
`typically patent owners do not get a chance or
`
`the opposing party does not get an opportunity
`
`to file a response to a request for your
`
`hearing ordinarily, but it's our view that the
`
`petitioner here is asking for extraordinary
`
`relief. They are asking for an expanded panel
`
`to hear their request and -- which we don't
`
`believe is provided for in the rules and we
`
`would like an opportunity to explain why we
`
`think that is. And they also, we feel, made an
`
`improper communication to the chief judge by
`
`sending a copy of their petition directly to
`
`the chief judge.
`
` We feel like those factors provide
`
`a basis for the patent owner to provide a
`
`response to these requests for a hearing in
`
`this instance.
`
` THE COURT: Okay. I will ask you
`
`this, what I'm hearing is that you want to
`
`respond only to those two particular things or
`
`do you want to respond on the merits as well?
`
`And if so, why?
`
` MR. MAIORANA: Well, to be honest,

`

`
`your Honor, the case for responding on the
`
`other issues is not as compelling. We think
`
`that the board can deal with those other
`
`aspects of the requests without hearing from
`
`us. We would be happy to address all of those
`
`if the board so requests us to, but our request
`
`for our opportunity to file an opposition would
`
`be related to this request in both petitions
`
`for an expanded panel that would include the
`
`chief judge to hear the request in the first
`
`place.
`
` THE COURT: Okay. And you would be
`
`able to address the -- whether it is warranted
`
`without reaching the merits of the request for
`
`rehearing?
`
` MR. MAIORANA: Yes, your Honor.
`
` THE COURT: Okay. Anything else
`
`from counsel for patent owner?
`
` MR. MAIORANA: No. Thank you.
`
` THE COURT: Okay. In that case I
`
`will turn it over to counsel for petitioner.
`
` We understand that you oppose
`
`patent owner's request and I would like you to
`
`please explain the basis for your opposition.
`
` MR. HOUSTON: Sure, your Honor.

`
` First of all, I will just mention
`
`that this is the first time that we have heard
`
`the specific issues on which patent owner had
`
`proposed to file an opposition. They simply
`
`asked us about our permission for filing
`
`opposition in general and our position was just
`
`that such oppositions don't seem to be provided
`
`for in the rules. And, therefore, we indicated
`
`that we didn't think that was appropriate.
`
` As to the specific issues that they
`
`raised, they don't seem to be covered by the
`
`rules specifically. And so, I suppose, I would
`
`defer to the board. If the board was inclined
`
`to hear the patent owner speak on those topics
`
`then we certainly, you know, would not take a
`
`position on that.
`
` THE COURT: Am I hearing you to
`
`withdraw any opposition to the filing of the
`
`paper that is limited to the two issues that
`
`were raised by patent owner's counsel?
`
` MR. HOUSTON: Well, your Honor, it
`
`certainly is our position that we don't think
`
`that those oppositions are provided for under
`
`the rules. But if the board is so inclined to
`
`hear those oppositions, we would defer to the

`
`board's decision on the that topic.
`
` THE COURT: Okay. Okay. I'm going
`
`-- do you have anything else to add counsel for
`
`petitioner?
`
` MR. HOUSTON: No, your Honor.
`
` THE COURT: Okay. Thank you. I'm
`
`just going to mute the line for a few minutes.
`
`Please stay on the line and then we will come
`
`back. The panel is going to mute you.
`
` (Short recess had.)
`
` THE COURT: This is Judge Obermann
`
`back on the line with Judges Green and Elluru.
`
` We have taken this under
`
`consideration. And the fact that petitioner
`
`has styled their papers as a request for a
`
`hearing by an expanded panel, including the
`
`chief administrative patent judge, combined
`
`with the fact that the paper was served upon
`
`the chief administrative patent judge, that
`
`alone tells us that there is something that
`
`patent owner, I'm sorry, the petitioner deems
`
`extraordinary about these requests to take them
`
`outside of the normal course of things.
`
` In view of that, we are going to
`
`provide patent owner with the opportunity to

`
`file a five-page opposition to this -- limited
`
`to the two issues that were raised here,
`
`basically whether an expanded panel is
`
`warranted and whether it was improper to serve
`
`the chief judge and if so what release is
`
`requested.
`
` That brief will be due in five
`
`business days, which will take us to, let me
`
`just check the calendar here, I apologize, one,
`
`two, three, four, next Tuesday, August 26th, we
`
`will make that paper due.
`
` I will start with counsel for
`
`patent owner, do you have anything else to add
`
`at this time?
`
` MR. MAIORANA: No, your Honor,
`
`thank you for your consideration.
`
` THE COURT: Sure.
`
` Anything from petitioner at this
`
`time?
`
` MR. HOUSTON: Yes, your Honor.
`
` I would just like to ask, to the
`
`extent that patent owner is going to suggest
`
`that we have an improper communication with the
`
`patent office, we would be afforded an
`
`opportunity to reply to such a suggestion.

`
` THE COURT: We would be willing to
`
`give you three pages if you think that reply is
`
`necessary. And we would make that reply due on
`
`-- would August 29th be okay or do you need
`
`more time?
`
` MR. HOUSTON: Let me see. I want
`
`to make sure, is there an intervening weekend
`
`there?
`
` THE COURT: No, it would come in on
`
`a Tuesday and then we would ask for it on a
`
`Friday.
`
` MR. HOUSTON: That should be fine,
`
`your, Honor.
`
` THE COURT: Okay. In that case, we
`
`will permit a sir reply, I guess we would call
`
`it, on the 29th if necessary. And we will
`
`limit that to three pages.
`
` If you have any questions about how
`
`to calculate those page limits there is a rule
`
`that tells you what is included in the page
`
`limits, things like your signature block and,
`
`you know, cover sheet don't count.
`
` MR. HOUSTON: Sure.
