`Case IPR2014-00950
`Patent 7,188,145 B2
`
`
`On May 15, 2014, in IPR2014-00136, we instituted trial on challenges
`
`Reloaded Games, Inc. (“Petitioner”) asserted against claims 2-4, 6, 7, 10, 16-18,
`
`20, 21 24, 24, and 29-36 of U.S. Patent No. 7,188,145 B2 (“the ’145 Patent”)
`
`owned by Parallel Networks LLC (“Patent Owner”). Reloaded Games, Inc. v.
`
`Parallel Networks LLC, Case IPR2014-000136 (PTAB May 15, 2014). On
`
`June 13, 2014, Petitioner commenced this proceeding (IPR2014-00950) by filing a
`
`petition challenging the claims on which we did not institute trial in IPR2014-
`
`00136 (Paper 3) and a Motion for Joinder with IPR2014-00136 (Paper 4).
`
`Petitioner’s challenges in IPR2014-00950 are based on references which formed
`
`the basis for instituting trial in IPR2014-00136.
`
`A patent owner preliminary response must be filed within 3 months of the
`
`filing dated of a petition. 37 C.F.R. § 42.107(b). However, the Board may modify
`
`times set by rule, taking into account any statutory pendency goal. 37 C.F.R.
`
`§ 42.5(c)(1). In view of the circumstances and the statutory deadlines in IPR2014-
`
`00136, Patent Owner may file a Patent Owner Preliminary Response and/or an
`
`Opposition to Petitioner’s Motion for Joinder not later than July 31, 2014.
`
`In consideration of the above, it is
`
`ORDERED that Patent owner is given until July 31, 2014 to file a Patent
`
`Owner Preliminary Response and an Opposition to Petitioner’s Motion for Joinder.
