`
`REVISED SCHEDULING ORDER
`
`

`exercise our discretion to issue one Decision to be filed in each case. The
`parties are not authorized to use this style heading for any subsequent
`papers.

`
`
`A conference call in the above-referenced cases occurred on June 8,
`2016. Respective counsel for Petitioner and Patent Owner, and Judges
`Giannetti, Quinn, and Bunting were in attendance. In an email to the panel
`dated June 7, 2016, Patent Owner requested the call, seeking permission to
`file a motion requesting modification to Due Date 7, i.e., oral argument, in
`the Scheduling Order (Paper 16)2. Additionally, the parties are unable to
`agree to Patent Owner’s request to modify Due Date 1.
`Patent Owner first notified the Board of a potential conflict between
`the scheduled oral argument date of December 13, 2016, and the December
`5, 2016 trial date in the related district court proceeding, during the initial
`conference call that took place on April 18, 2016. Paper 17, 2. At that time,
`Patent Owner requested that the final hearing date be delayed by one week.
`We denied the request as premature due to the pending stay motion in
`district court, indicating that we may be revisiting this matter, depending on
`the outcome of that stay motion. Id.
`During the call, Patent Owner confirmed that the stay motion had
`been denied, and trial scheduled for December 5, 2016. Patent Owner
`anticipates the referred to district court trial will last about a week.
`Petitioner opposes a delay in oral argument, and instead proposes moving
`the date up a few weeks.
`We note that the proposed trial date in the related district court
`proceeding was set prior to our oral argument date. Thus, we agree to revise
`
`

`Due Date 7 in the Scheduling Order to January 10, 2017, as indicated in the
`REVISED DUE DATE APPENDIX that follows.
`With respect to Due Date 1, the scheduled date for Patent Owner’s
`response to the petition and Patent Owner’s motion to amend the patent,
`Patent Owner would like to extend the date from June 17, 2016 to July 1,
`2016, due to the unavailability of its expert. Petitioner opposes this request.
`After hearing the parties’ arguments in this regard, the panel agrees to an
`extension of Due Date 1 to July 1, 2016. Due date 2 is now October 3, 2016.
`Dues Dates 3-6 are unchanged.
