`
`PETITIONERS’ LIST OF PROPOSED MOTIONS
`
`
`
`Further to the Board’s Scheduling Order (Paper 11) setting an Initial
`
`Conference Call for March 3, 2015, and directing the parties to pages 48,756, 48, 765-
`
`66 of the Office Patent Trial Practice Guide, 77 Fed. Reg. 48,756, 48,765-66 (Aug. 14,
`
`2012), and Board’s February 24, 2014 email rescheduling the Initial Conference Call
`
`for March 5th, 2015, Petitioners Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., and Samsung
`
`Electronics America, Inc., (“Petitioners”) hereby submit a list of proposed motions
`
`presently contemplated by Petitioners and which Petitioners intend to raise during the
`
`Initial Conference Call:
`
`
`
`IPR2014-01181 Attorney Docket No.
`U.S. Patent No. 8,532,641 110797-0004-655
` Potential motion(s) for Pro Hac Vice Admission pursuant to Rule 42.10(c)
`
`(as previously authorized by the Board in Paper 3);
`
` Potential motion(s) to exclude evidence based on the Federal Rules of
`
`Evidence (as scheduled by the Board in Paper 11);
`
` The modified schedule Petitioners have proposed in their pending request
`
`for joinder of this proceeding with IPR2015-00821, as set forth in their
`
`Motion For Joinder and Request For Shortened Response Time For Patent
`
`Owner’s Preliminary Response (IPR2015-00821, Paper 3), to resolve these
`
`two proceedings together without delaying resolution of the above-
`
`captioned proceeding.
`
`During the Initial Conference Call Petitioners also expect—in light of the Board’s
`
`coordination of the schedule in this proceeding with the schedules in IPR2014-01182
`
`and IPR2014-01184—to respectfully request that the Board confirm that it expects to
`
`issue concurrent final written decisions in these proceedings. Although these are, as
`
`noted, the motions presently contemplated by Petitioners,
`
`it
`
`is Petitioners’
`
`understanding that, as stated in the Trial Practice Guide (at 48,765) “[s]ubmission of
`
`[this] list would not preclude the filing of additional motions not contained in the
`
`list.”
`
`Respectfully submitted,
