`IPR2015-00611
`Patent 7,643,168 B2
`
`
`A telephone conference call was held on June 26, 2015. Participants
`
`included Mr. Naveen Modi, counsel for Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. and
`
`Samsung Electronics America, Inc. (“Samsung”), Mr. Robert C. Curfiss
`
`counsel for e-Watch, Inc. (“e-Watch”), Mr. Brian Buroker counsel for Apple
`
`Inc. (“Apple”), and judges Jameson Lee, Gregg Anderson, and Matthew
`
`Clements. Mr. Curfiss also represents e-Watch in Apple Inc. v. e-Watch,
`
`Inc., IPR2015-00414 (“the ’414 IPR”).
`
`The call was initiated by the Board to determine whether or not e-
`
`Watch and Apple agreed to Samsung’s Motion for Joinder (“Motion” or
`
`“Mot.,” Paper 3). The Motion seeks to join this case with the ’414 IPR.
`
`If trial is instituted in the ’414 IPR, e-Watch and Apple agree to
`
`joinder on the terms proposed by Samsung as set forth in the Motion. See
`
`Mot. 8-9. Principle terms discussed expressly during the conference, and
`
`agreed to by all participants, were that: (1) Samsung would not assert a
`
`second argument relating to the earliest priority date of US Patent No.
`
`7,643,168, the patent at issue (Mot. 6-7); and (2) Apple would take the lead
`
`in making consolidated filings.
`
` It is
`
`ORDERED that a copy of this order shall be filed in IPR2015-00414.
