`involved in IPR2014-00629.

`Petition is essentially literally the same as the Petition filed by American
`Honda Motor Co., Inc. in IPR2014-00629. Counsel for Petitioner further
`explained that the declaration it has submitted in support of the Petition is by
`the same declarant relied on by American Honda Motor Co., Inc. in
`IPR2014-00629. Counsel for Petitioner additionally explained that the
`declaration testimony submitted in this proceeding is the same as that
`submitted by American Honda Motor Co., Inc. in IPR2014-00629.
`Mr. Scott P. McBride indicated that he represents Patent Owner and a
`mandatory notice will be filed confirming his representation. In addition,
`Mr. McBride stated that Patent Owner likely would not oppose the Motion
`for Joinder, with certain restrictions on Hyundai’s participation in the joined
`proceedings. We authorize the parties to file a stipulation regarding limits on

`business days for filing of Patent Owner’s preliminary response or waiver of
`filing a preliminary response in this proceeding.
