`Petitioner’s List of Proposed Motions
`
`
`
`Pursuant to the Office Patent Trial Practice Guide, 77 Fed. Reg. 48756,
`
`
`
`48765-66 (August 14, 2012), Petitioner Cisco Systems, Inc., hereby submits the
`
`following list of the two proposed motions it is currently contemplating filing.
`
`This list is provided without prejudice to Petitioner’s right to seek authorization to
`
`file additional motions pursuant to the Board's authorization or to refrain from
`
`filing the motions listed herein.
`
`With respect to the proposed motion for additional discovery (No. 2, below),
`
`Petitioner appreciates that the Board decided not to allow Petitioner to file a similar
`
`motion in IPR2014-01166. Out of an abundance of caution, Petitioner asks again
`
`for this discovery in order to be as diligent as possible in light of the short time for
`
`third-party discovery between the Patent Owner’s May 18, 2015, response and
`
`Petitioner’s August 18, 2015, response.
`
`1. Motion to submit supplemental information pursuant to 37 CFR § 42.123
`
`(e.g., Patent Owner’s (“PO”)’s
`
`interrogatory responses and related
`
`discovery regarding alleged conception, diligence and reduction
`
`to
`
`practice).
`
`2. Motion for additional discovery pursuant to 37 CFR § 42.51(b)(2) (e.g.,
`
`regarding (1) alleged conception, diligence and reduction to practice,
`
`
`
`1
`
`
`
`Case No. 2014-01276
`Atty. Docket No. CSCO-002/00US [034855-2015] (RE42,678)
`Petitioner’s List of Proposed Motions
`
`
`including such evidence in PO’s or third parties’ control; and/or (2) lack of
`
`indicia of non-obviousness). This discovery is likely to involve third-party
`
`subpoenas to, e.g., the named inventors of the RE42,678 patent at issue.
`
`These proposed motions have been timely filed within one month of the date
`
`the trial was instituted, and at least two business days before any expected
`
`conference call with the Board.
