`ADR STATEMENT
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`In the Scheduling Order dated September 27, 2016 (Paper 11), the Board
`
`encouraged the parties to promptly discuss alternative means for resolving the
`
`disputes regarding the subject matter of these proceedings, and to notify the Board
`
`regarding the status of those discussions.
`
`As encouraged by the Board, Petitioner’s and Patent Owner’s
`
`IPR and litigation counsel held a telephone conference on October 26, 2016, and
`
`discussed a potential framework and some of the terms at issue for resolving the
`
`parties’ disputes. The parties’ counsel are conferring with their clients and will
`
`continue to explore the possibility of scheduling a formal mediation in the near
`
`future. To date, however, the parties have not resolved the dispute, nor agreed on
`
`an alternative dispute resolution mechanism or process.
`
`Respectfully submitted,
`
`Dated: October 28, 2016
