`RE: Motion for Joinder (IPR2016-00089; IPR2016-00090; IPR2016-00091)
`
`Ms. Vignone, 

`Thank you for the confirmation, a small typographic error was brought to my attention in the first paragraph in my email 
`below.  In reference to IPR2015‐01099 (highlighted below), I meant to refer to IPR2015‐01097.  The second paragraph 
`correctly lists IPR2015‐01097. 

`Thanks, 

`Jitty Malik

` am counsel for Petitioners InnoPharma et al. in IPR2016‐00089, IPR2016‐00090, and IPR2016‐00091.  In connection 
`with those IPRs, InnoPharma has filed motions to join IPR2015‐01099, IPR2015‐01100 and IPR2015‐01105, filed by 
`Lupin.  Following the conference with the Board (see email correspondence below), the parties have continued to 
`discuss issues related to joinder.   

`In connection with those continuing discussions, and in the interests of facilitating joinder, InnoPharma will agree to 
`proceed in IPR2015‐01097, IPR2015‐01100, and IPR2015‐01105 based only upon the arguments and evidence advanced 
`by Lupin in its earlier‐filed actions and accept a back‐seat, “understudy” role in those joined proceedings, without any 
`right to separate or additional briefing or discovery, unless authorized by the Board upon a request to address an issue 
`that is unique to InnoPharma.  Only if Lupin drops out of the proceedings for any reason, will InnoPharma cease its 
`understudy role.  The conditions are the same as to what Lupin agreed to in connection with its corresponding motion 
`for joinder to join InnoPharma’s IPR (IPR2015‐00903), which the Board granted.  See, e.g., IPR2015‐0187 (Paper 
`13).  Moreover, InnoPharma has contacted Lupin, and Lupin has agreed to permit InnoPharma to rely upon its declarant 
`(Dr. Lawrence) in the joined proceedings. 

`InnoPharma is available to have a conference with the Board should the Board have any other questions or concerns. 

`Counsel for Patent Owner and Lupin have been copied on this email. 

`Respectively, 

`Jitty Malik 
`Lead Counsel for Petitioner InnoPharma et al.

`Counsel: 

`Patent Owner’s (Senju’s) time for filing any opposition to InnoPharma’s motions for joinder in IPR809, IPR090, and 
`IPR091 is extended from December 11, 2015, to December 18, 2015. 

`The parties are requested to address the following matters during the telephone conference set for December 11, 2015, 
`at 2 pm EST, pertaining to the alleged “agreed upon proposed schedule that would apply to all ten (10) IPRs” (“Proposed 
`Global Schedule”).  Email to Board from Mr. Bryan Diner (“Diner Email”) (transmitted December 4, 2015). 

`1.  IPR902 is not the subject of a motion for joinder.  The panel shall not disturb the hearing date set in IPR902. 

`2.  IPR903 is the subject of a motion for joinder filed in IPR871.  Should the petition and motion for joinder be granted in 
`IPR871, the joined proceeding in IPR903 shall proceed on the schedule currently set in IPR903.  See IPR871 (Paper 10) 
`(reflecting agreement to conditions of joinder that will not increase the complexity of IPR903 to a degree warranting a 
`change in the schedule set in IPR903). 

`3.  The parties should address the Proposed Global Schedule as it relates to the remaining seven (7) IPRs identified in the 
`Diner Email, keeping in mind that the Board shall enter no schedule in any IPR before determining that the petition 
`warrants institution. 

`4.  Regarding the motions for joinder that are pending in IPR089, IPR090, and IPR091, please address the following 
`issues:  a) To facilitate our consideration of the motions, will InnoPharma agree to proceed in IPR097, IPR100, and 
`IPR105 based only upon the arguments and evidence advanced by Lupin in those earlier‐filed actions and accept a back‐
`seat, “understudy” role in the joined proceedings, without any right to separate or additional briefing or discovery, much 
`as Lupin has agreed in connection with the motion for joinder pending in IPR871 (see Paper 10); b) In the event that the 
`petitions and joinder motions are granted, will Lupin permit InnoPharma to rely upon its declarant(s) in the joined 
`proceedings.; and (c) in this scenario, would Senju oppose joinder.

`Your Honors: 
`
`  
`Patent Owner Senju’s Oppositions to InnoPharma’s Motions for Joinder in IPR2016‐00089, IPR2016‐00090, and IPR2016‐
`00091 are currently due on Friday, December 11, 2015.  The Board and the parties also are scheduled to discuss the 
`global coordinated schedule in the above‐mentioned IPRs, among others, on December 11, 2015.  Should the Board 
`eventually adopt the parties’ proposed global coordinated schedule, then Senju would not need to file these 
`Oppositions.    
`  
`In view of the scheduled call with the Board, Patent Owner Senju requests a further extension of time to file its 
`Oppositions until Friday, December 18 or until two business days after the Board rules on the parties’ global 
`coordination proposal.   Petitioner InnoPharma does not oppose this request.
