`Conduct of the Proceeding
`37 C.F.R. § 42.5, 42.122
`
`On July 13, 2015, Petitioner filed Motions for Joinder in each of these
`
`proceedings, seeking to join IPR2015-01577 with IPR2015-00314, to join
`
`IPR2015-01580 with IPR2015-00315, to join IPR2015-01581 with IPR2015-
`
`00316, and to join IPR2015-01582 with IPR2015-00531. Joint Motions to
`
`Terminate each of the underlying proceedings (IPR2015-00314, IPR2015-00315,
`
`IPR2015-00316, IPR2015-00531) were filed on August 5, 2015.
`
`A conference call was held within counsel for the parties and Judges
`
`McKone and Boucher on August 11, 2015. In light of the interplay between the
`
`respective Motions for Joinder in these proceedings and the Motions to Terminate
`
`in the underlying proceedings, we extend the time for Patent Owner to file an
`
`opposition to the Motions for Joinder to August 20, 2015. Petitioner does not
`
`oppose the extension.
`
`
`
`It is
`
`ORDERED that Patent Owner is authorized to file an opposition to the
`
`Motion for Joinder in each of these proceedings by August 20, 2015, limited to 15
`
`pages.
