`ORDER
`Conduct of the Proceedings
`37 C.F.R. § 42.5
`
`
`
`
`
`
`1 This Order addresses issues common to all cases; therefore, we issue a
`single Order to be entered in each case. The parties are authorized to use
`this style heading when filing the same paper in multiple proceedings,
`provided that such heading includes a footnote attesting that “the word-for-
`word identical paper is filed in each proceeding identified in the heading.”

`Patent 6,197,696 B1
`
`
`On July 13, 2017, Patent Owner emailed Board staff requesting a
`
`conference call for the purpose of seeking authorization to supplement
`
`Patent Owner’s Responses to the Petitions. The email states as follows:
`
`
`
`Patent Owner respectfully requests a telephone
`conference to obtain permission to supplement Patent Owner’s
`Responses to the Petition in light of the United States Supreme
`Court’s recent grant of certiorari to determine “[w]hether inter
`partes review . . . violates the Constitution by extinguishing
`private property rights through a non-Article III forum without
`a jury.” Oil States Energy Services v. Greene’s Energy Group,
`et al., Case No. 16-712 (2017). Because a decision by the
`Supreme Court may change the current law and affect the
`ultimate outcome of these proceedings, we are writing on behalf
`of Patent Owner to seek permission to supplement its Patent
`Owner Responses to preserve Patent Owner’s position and
`reserve the right to raise these constitutional issues to the extent
`Federal Circuit precedent is overturned. Patent Owner also
`respectfully asks that its request be made of record.
`
`The parties have met and conferred regarding this
`request, and Petitioner is opposed to the requested relief.
`
`
`
`Patent Owner’s request for a conference call and request for
`
`authorization to supplement Patent Owner’s Responses to the Petitions is
`
`denied.
`
`It is so ORDERED.
