`Case IPR2015-00021
`Patent 7,202,843
`
`PATENT OWNER’S NOTICE PRIOR TO INITIAL CONFERENCE CALL
`
`
`
`The Patent Trial and Appeal Board ("Board") has scheduled an initial
`
`conference call for Tuesday, April 7, 2015. Pursuant to the Office Patent Trial
`
`Practice Guide, 77 Fed. Reg. 48756, 48765-66 (Aug. 14, 2012), Patent Owner
`
`hereby provides notice that it does not currently intend to submit any motions.
`
`This notice is provided without prejudice to Patent Owner’s right to seek
`
`authorization to file any motions, and Patent Owner will seek Board permission
`
`prior to filing any motions, including but not limited to any motions related to or
`
`due to Petitioners' recently-filed request for rehearing.
`
`Additional Topics for Discussion at Initial Conference Call:
`
`In the Scheduling Order, the Board noted that the '843 patent was expired
`
`and therefore ineligible for amendment during this proceeding. Patent Owner
`
`raised this issue with Petitioners prior to this Notice and respectfully submits that
`
`the '843 patent is still in force. Patent Owner seeks the Board's guidance on the
`
`mechanism to issue a corrected Scheduling Order that confirms that the '843
`
`patent is still in force and therefore procedurally eligible for amendment during
`
`this proceeding.
`
`Patent Owner will also request the Board's permission to file a response to
`
`Petitoners' Request for Rehearing, either at this upcoming Conference Call or in a
`
`separately scheduled conference call.
