`Case IPR2014-00532 (Patent 5,959,633)
`Case IPR2014-00533 (Patent 6,057,854)
`Case IPR2014-00534 (Patent 6,552,732 B1)
`
`
`
`On March 25, 2015, a conference call was held involving counsel for
`the respective parties and Judges Medley, Rice, and Parvis. Patent Owner
`initiated the call to seek authorization to file a surreply in each of the
`proceedings. In particular, Patent Owner seeks leave to respond to
`arguments made in Petitioner’s Reply (Paper 25 at 1)2 that Patent Owner is
`not related to original patentee.
`
`Based on the discussion, the parties proposed allowing Patent Owner
`an opportunity to respond to Petitioner’s allegations during any hearing held.
`Provided a hearing is requested and granted, Patent Owner briefly may
`respond during the hearing to arguments made in Petitioner’s Reply that
`Patent Owner is not related to original patentee. Patent Owner, however, is
`not permitted to present evidence not already of record in the files of these
`proceedings in support of the response.
`
`It is
`ORDERED that Patent Owner is not authorized to file a surreply; and
`FURTHER ORDERED that provided a hearing is requested and
`granted, Patent Owner is authorized to briefly respond during the hearing to
`arguments made in Petitioner’s Reply that Patent Owner is not related to
`original patentee; however, Patent Owner is not permitted to present
`evidence not already of record in the files of these proceedings in support of
`the response.
