`Conduct of the Proceeding

`IPR2016-01441
`Patent 8,225,408 B2
`
`
`A conference call was held on December 21, 2016, among
`representatives of the parties and Judges Arpin, Boucher, and Yang. The
`call was requested by Patent Owner to address aspects of the Reply filed on
`December 16, 2016 (Paper 9). Under our regulations, authorization to file a
`Reply to a Preliminary Response is not granted as of right. In our Order of
`December 13, 2016, we, nevertheless, authorized the parties to file “a Reply
`and Sur-reply addressing the estoppel aspects of [Patent Owner’s argument
`that the Petition is procedurally barred].” Paper 7, 1 (emphasis added).
`Because the filed Reply addresses issues beyond that limited scope, we order
`Petitioner to file, today, a revised version of the Reply that removes material
`outside that scope, i.e., any material that it not strictly responsive to the
`estoppel issues under 35 U.S.C. § 315(e)(1) argued in the Preliminary
`Response. Thus, no material related to 35 U.S.C. § 325(d) is appropriate or
`permitted in the Reply, and material related to 35 U.S.C. § 312 is appropriate
`only to the extent that it is responsive to arguments raised by Patent Owner
`in the Preliminary Response in support of Patent Owner’s estoppel
`arguments under 35 U.S.C. § 315(e)(1). The briefing schedule is
`unchanged.
`
`In consideration of the foregoing, it is hereby:
`ORDERED that Petitioner shall file, today, a revised version of the
`Reply (Paper 9) that removes material outside the scope identified above;
`FURTHER ORDERED that Patent Owner is authorized to file, by
`December 21, 2016, a Sur-reply, limited to five pages, that responds to
`Petitioner’s arguments in the redacted Reply; and
`

`
`
`
`IPR2016-01441
`Patent 8,225,408 B2
`
`
`FURTHER ORDERED that Paper 9 is expunged.
