`
`
`PETITIONERS’ NOTICE REGARDING INITIAL CONFERENCE CALL
`
`
`
`601129.1
`
`
`
`
`
`Per the March 31, 2015 e-mail from Mr. Andrew Kellogg of the Patent Trial and
`
`Appeal Board, the Initial Conference Call for this trial is scheduled for 2:00 PM Eastern Time
`
`on Tuesday, April 7, 2015. Please be advised that Petitioners Sharp Corporation, Sharp
`
`Electronics Corporation, and Sharp Electronics Manufacturing Company of America, Inc.
`
`(“Petitioners”) have arranged for a court reporter to transcribe the call and will provide a
`
`copy of the transcript to the Patent Owner and the Board.
`
`On April 1, 2015, Petitioners filed a Request for Rehearing Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. §
`
`42.71(d) (Paper 12), which is currently pending before the Board. Pursuant to the
`
`instructions for initial conference calls set forth in the Office Patent Trial Practice Guide,
`
`Petitioners hereby give notice that they do not presently anticipate filing any other motions.
`
`However, Petitioners respectfully submit that submission of this document should “not
`
`preclude the filing of additional motions not contained in the list.” 77 Fed. Reg. 48,756,
`
`48,765 (Aug. 14, 2012). In this regard, should the need arise, Petitioners may seek to file
`
`one or more motions, such as, for example, a motion to exclude evidence or a motion for
`
`observation, in response to actions by the Patent Owner during the trial. Of course,
`
`Petitioners would seek authorization from the Board (if required) to file any such motions.
`
`At the Initial Conference Call, Petitioners plan to propose a change to DUE DATE 7
`
`for oral argument set forth in the Scheduling Order (Paper 11). Specifically, since DUE
`
`DATE 7 is currently scheduled for Tuesday right after the Thanksgiving weekend,
`
`Petitioners respectfully request that the Board modify DUE DATE 7 for this trial from
`2
`
`
`601129.1
`
`
`
`
`December 1, 2015 (Tues.) to December 8, 2015 (Tues.). Petitioners have raised this matter
`
`with Patent Owner’s counsel; Patent Owner has not yet indicated whether it has any
`
`objection to Petitioners’ proposed change of DUE DATE 7.

`Respectfully submitted,
