`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Case IPR2015-01210
`Patent No. 6,431,294
`
`Pursuant to the Office Patent Trial Practice Guide, 77 Fed. Reg. 48756,
`
`
`
`
`
`48765-66 (Aug. 14, 2012) and in advance of the initial conference call scheduled
`
`for Thursday, December 3 at 2:00pm EST, Patent Owner National Oilwell DHT,
`
`L.P. (“NOV”) submits the following list of proposed motions. This listing is
`
`without prejudice to NOV’s right to seek authorization to bring additional motions
`
`as circumstances warrant. See, Office Patent Trial Practice, Fed. Reg. Vol. 77, No.
`
`157 at 48763 (Aug. 14, 2012).
`
`Although a first motion to amend claims, motions for observations on cross-
`
`examination, and motions to exclude evidence are automatically authorized by the
`
`Board, Patent Owner identifies such motions to preserve its right to file them. This
`
`list is provided without prejudice to Patent Owner’s right to seek authorization to
`
`file additional motions or to decide not to file motions listed.
`
`1. Motion for Modification of Scheduling Order. As needed, NOV may contact
`
`counsel for Petitioner to potentially seek agreement for a joint motion to extend
`
`Due Dates.
`
`2. Motion for Discovery. The parties did not agree, prior to institution of the trial,
`
`to exchange of the initial disclosures set forth in the Office Patent Trial Practice
`
`Guide. Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.51(a)(2), NOV would move to seek
`
`discovery of such information. NOV may also move for additional discovery.
`
`3. Motion to Exclude under 37 C.F.R. § 42.64. The need for, and nature of, such a
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Case IPR2015-01210
`Patent No. 6,431,294
`motion may be impacted by any supplemental evidence Petitioner submits in
`
`
`
`response to NOV’s Objections to Evidence.
`
`4. Motion for Observations on cross-examination testimony of a Petitioner’s reply
`
`witness.
`
`5. Motion to Amend Claims under 37 C.F.R. § 42.121.
`
`6. Motion to Substitute Lead and/or Back-Up Counsel as needed.

`Respectfully submitted:
