`
`Introduction
`On January 10, 2017, the initial conference call was held among
`counsel for the respective parties and Judges Saindon, Chen, and McMillin.
`We provide the following summary of the conference call.
`Schedule
`The parties indicated they have no current issues with the Scheduling
`Order (Paper 15 in the -00757 IPR). The parties may not stipulate to any
`changes to Due Dates 6 or 7 in the Scheduling Order without specific
`authorization from us.
`
`Motions
`Neither party filed a list of proposed motions prior to the conference.
`The parties are reminded that Board authorization generally is required
`before filing a motion. 37 C.F.R. § 42.20(b). A party seeking to file a
`motion not authorized previously should request a conference call with us to
`obtain authorization to file the motion.
` Oral Hearing in San Jose
`The parties agreed to hold the August 2017 oral hearing in these IPRs
`at the USPTO offices in San Jose, California.
`Other Matters
`The parties provided an update on related matters and on settlement
`status.
`As of this date, no protective order has been entered. The parties are
`reminded of the requirement for a protective order when filing a motion to
`seal. 37 C.F.R. § 42.54. If the parties choose to propose a protective order
`other than or departing from the default Standing Protective Order, Office
`Patent Trial Practice Guide, 77 Fed. Reg. 48,756, App. B (Aug. 14, 2012),

`lined version based on the default protective order in Appendix B to the
`Board’s Office Patent Trial Practice Guide, and must explain why each
`proposed change to the default Standing Protective Order is necessary. See
`id. at 48,769–71.
