`SCHEDULING ORDER

`We, therefore, issue a single order that has been entered in each case. The

`“the word-for-word identical paper is filed in each proceeding identified in
`the caption.”

`
`A. REQUEST FOR AN INITIAL CONFERENCE CALL
`Unless at least one of the parties requests otherwise, we will not
`conduct an initial conference call as described in the Office Patent Trial
`Practice Guide, 77 Fed. Reg. 48,756, 48,765–66 (Aug. 14, 2012). The
`parties must request an initial conference call if either party is aware of
`any conflicts or concerns with DUE DATE 7 set forth in the Appendix
`of this Scheduling Order. Any request for an initial conference call must
`be made no later than 25 days after the institution of trial and must comply
`with Section A of the Standing Order (Paper 9).
`
`B. DUE DATES
`This order sets due dates for the parties to take action after institution
`of the proceeding. The parties may stipulate to different dates for DUE
`DATES 1 through 5 (earlier or later, but no later than DUE DATE 6). A
`notice of the stipulation, specifically identifying the changed due dates, must
`be promptly filed. The parties may not stipulate to an extension of DUE
`DATES 6 and 7. Due to scheduling constraints, such as hearing room
`availability, the parties must request a conference call with the panel if there
`are any conflicts that arise with DUE DATE 7 as soon as practicable, which
`will be modified only upon a showing of good cause.
`In stipulating to different times, the parties should consider the effect
`of the stipulation on times to object to evidence (37 C.F.R. § 42.64(b)(1)), to
`supplement evidence (37 C.F.R. § 42.64(b)(2)), to conduct cross-
`examination (37 C.F.R. § 42.53(d)(2)), and to draft papers depending on the
`evidence and cross-examination testimony.
