`
` HON. PHILLIP J. KAUFFMAN: So I wanted to
`simplify this a little bit, and by the way, Judge
`Weatherly is on the line with me as well. Judge
`Petravick is in a hearing and can't be with us on the
`call today, but we will consult her before we do an
`order.
` I understand what patent owner wants and why,
`so really my only question for patent owner at this
`point is how many pages you are asking for, and then
`I'll hear from petitioner and then I will move the
`proceeding to authorization.
` So how many pages are you asking for, Mr.
`Samuel?
` MR. SAMUEL: I think, Your Honor, ten pages
`will suffice.
` HON. PHILLIP J. KAUFFMAN: Thank you.
` And, Mr. Harrison, I don't want to talk about
`the merits of whether or not this motion should be
`granted. I only want to talk about whether or not you
`think authorization should be given for a motion.
` MR. HARRISON: We don't see why not, Your

`Honor.
` HON. PHILLIP J. KAUFFMAN: And what do you
`think of ten pages?
` MR. HARRISON: Are you referring to the
`opposition, Your Honor?
` HON. PHILLIP J. KAUFFMAN: Right.
` MR. HARRISON: I think if their motion is ten
`pages, we can probably respond to it in ten pages
`also.
` HON. PHILLIP J. KAUFFMAN: Okay.
` Mr. Samuel, is there anything else you want
`to add to that?
` MR. SAMUEL: Well, I guess what I'm trying to
`figure out, Your Honor, is do you want me to make the
`argument as to the reason for granting the request,
`or...
` HON. PHILLIP J. KAUFFMAN: No, I think that
`would be early. That's -- what I'd like for you to do
`with your motion, and I -- frankly, to tell you, you
`know, the way the final decisions came out, this issue
`was on my mind and I wanted it to be addressed in a
`timely manner, so I think it's good that we're having
`a phone call, and I really don't see any reason why we
`wouldn't brief this issue and address it as soon as we
`can.

`
` So really all I wanted to hear from you on is
`the authorization for a motion.
` MR. SAMUEL: Okay. So I guess what I'm
`confused, Your Honor, is part of the authorization
`request is obviously the basis for the motion, right,
`and so if you want me to go ahead and discuss that
`part, I'm happy to do so, and I'm --
` HON. PHILLIP J. KAUFFMAN: And, you know, I
`think that that's smart that we include this as we're
`going to put a transcript in there, but I understood
`your request from the e-mail to be that you would like
`to file a motion to terminate based on 315(E)(1) and
`the final decision that was entered in the 948 and the
`949 case.
` Is there something you would like to add for
`that?
` MR. SAMUEL: Sure, Your Honor.
` As this panel knows, you know, the final
`written decision was entered on September 22nd with
`respect to the 525 for the '948 patent.
` The parties in that IPR are identical to the
`parties in the pending 136 IPR, it's Valve Corporation
`Versus Ironburg Inventions. The patent is the same
`and the claim is the same.
` In IPR 136 the board only instituted as to

`
`Claim 20, and this claim, the board has already made a
`determination that it's unpatentable, it's final
`written decision for IPR 948.
` The same is true with respect to the '770
`patent. The final written decision was issued on
`September 22nd.
` In IPR 949, the parties are the same, the
`patent is the same, the claims are the same. The
`board instituted as to the Claims 1 through 4, 12, 15
`through 18 and 20 with respect to IPR 127, and the
`board has made a final written decision with respect
`to those claims in the 949 IPR.
` So now that the final written decisions have
`been entered that triggers the estoppel provision
`under 315(E)(1) and 37CFR 42.73(D)(1), which is pretty
`much identical.
` And it says that once the final written
`decision is issued, then the petitioner or party in
`privy may not request or maintain a proceeding before
`the office with respect to that claim on any ground
`that the petitioner raised or reasonably could have
`raised during the IPR.
` In this situation we have a final written
`decision for the '525 and the '770 patents, so that
`prong is met. Whether or not petitioner could have

`reasonably raised, the only reference that the board
`had instituted on IPR 136 and 137, which is the Worn
`reference is actually quite straightforward, Your
`Honor.
` The Worn reference is U.S. Patent 6,362,813.
`It's readily available public reference. It's
`available on the USTPO's database and it certainly
`could have been found by a skilled searcher.
` We also know that in this particular case
`it's quite straightforward because petitioner did
`actually find the Worn reference and used it for the
`136 and 137 IPRs.
` We also know that petitioner, in attempt to
`support its motion for joinder, submitted search
`strings from its third-party searcher, which, in fact,
`confirmed that Worn would have been discovered by a
`skilled searcher.
` HON. PHILLIP J. KAUFFMAN: And, Mr. Samuel --
`this is Judge Kauffman for the court reporter -- I
`understand the basis for your motion and we don't
`really need to get into the merits any more than that.
` In fact I think petitioner is conceding that
`authorization should be given, and then we'll -- if
`you would address that in the motion, I definitely
`want to hear this story, but I don't think we need to

`hear it, the rest of it today.
` MR. SAMUEL: Okay.
` HON. PHILLIP J. KAUFFMAN: Does that make
`sense? Is there something you really feel like we
`need to talk about regarding authorization?
` MR. SAMUEL: Well, if the board is
`authorizing -- it sounds like if the board is
`authorizing it, so.
` HON. PHILLIP J. KAUFFMAN: I am not -- I'm
`sorry that I spoke over you. I am not authorizing at
`this time because one of the panel members is not on
`the call and I want to talk to her, but it sounds to
`me like from both of the parties that this is an issue
`that needs to be addressed and I don't really hear
`petitioner resisting the authorization to file a
`motion.
` So I'm not going to say yes on this phone
`call, but I will talk to the other panel member, we'll
`make a decision, we'll get a decision out shortly.
` Mr. Harrison, does that trigger anything else
`you would like to talk about today?
` MR. HARRISON: Yes, Your Honor. Clearly,
`we're going to oppose the motion, and so we would like
`to know how much time we would have to prepare our
`opposition. We feel that we should have at least

`three weeks because it's more complex than a mere
`motion to oppose -- I mean, a mere opposition to
`exclude evidence, and on the case schedule, the time
`we would have to -- for an opposition to a motion to
`exclude is two weeks; so we would like at least three
`weeks to a month to reply to oppose their motion.
` It sounds like it's going to have a multiple
`bases and we're going to have to address both of the
`bases and we're going to have to look for precedent,
`and so forth.
` HON. PHILLIP J. KAUFFMAN: Okay. Hold that
`thought for a minute, Mr. Harrison. This is Judge
`Kauffman again.
` Mr. Samuel, how much time are you asking for
`from when we enter the order of authorization for
`authorizing the motion?
` MR. SAMUEL: Your Honor, it's only ten pages,
`so we can certainly get that taken care of within a
`week.
` HON. PHILLIP J. KAUFFMAN: Of this week.
` MR. SAMUEL: By next week, so yeah, 5 to 7
`business days should suffice and we'll have it ready,
`Your Honor.
` HON. PHILLIP J. KAUFFMAN: Okay.
` Back to you, Mr. Harrison.

`
` So my reading of the record for the petitions
`in 136 and 137 is that these issues overlap a lot with
`what was already talked about in the petition and your
`evidence with whether or not that particular reference
`could have been discovered earlier, so three weeks
`sounds like a long time for me. I think 5 to 7
`business days sounds more reasonable.
` Can you comment on that?
` MR. HARRISON: Well...
` HON. PHILLIP J. KAUFFMAN: And I say this
`because the proceedings are ongoing, and so I would
`like this resolved so we either know we're done or
`we're not and I don't want to waste the parties' time.
` MR. HARRISON: Your Honor, I would like to
`respond to that.
` HON. PHILLIP J. KAUFFMAN: Please.
` MR. HARRISON: Quoting Mark Twain; "Sometimes
`it takes a lot longer to do -- to write a clear and
`persuasive paper that's 10 pages than to write one
`that's longer. Remember Mark Twain said, I did -- I
`wrote you a long letter because I didn't have time to
`write you a short one.
` It's the same thing here where this is -- it
`may -- this is actually the most important -- it's
`going to be the most important portion of this IPR.

`
` The -- it did take some of the entire IPR to
`survive, and it's going to be made on two different
`bases for two different cases. It's the same
`arguments, but one of the bases is the fact that the
`claims have been found unpatentable in the previous
`IPRs, and the other basis has to do with a very
`fact-intensive question of whether the one reference
`should have been found earlier.
` And, you know, I think that we have a lot of
`really good counter-arguments for why that's not so.
`I'm not going to raise them here because we're not
`getting into the merits. But it will be relatively
`challenging to do that in ten pages.
` The patent owner said ten pages and you asked
`me if we could do it in ten pages, but it's different
`to do it quickly in ten pages. 5 to 7 days is a tall
`order, but we would prefer more time to do a good job.
` The whole case depends on this.
` HON. PHILLIP J. KAUFFMAN: And I would like
`each side to do a good job.
` I will discuss with the panel, you know, and
`acknowledge your desire to have more time against the
`desire to resolve this as quickly as possible, and
`we'll do an order today.
` It's the 4th. I can't imagine that it's any

`later than the 6th that we have an order entered and
`then you -- both sides will know how we're going to
`proceed.
` MR. HARRISON: Your Honor, just one more
`point --
` HON. PHILLIP J. KAUFFMAN: Please.
` MR. HARRISON: -- regarding the timing is
`that I'm not sure, or at least I don't understand the
`importance of resolving it so quickly being that
`there's not really any work ongoing. It's not going
`to save anyone work by doing it quickly.
` If we have enough time to do a proper
`opposition, we'll feel like we put our best foot
`forward, and then when the Court or when the board
`decides, I don't think that the board is going to have
`to do more work merely because we have an extra week
`or two.
` HON. PHILLIP J. KAUFFMAN: Well, let's talk
`about the schedule, then.
` So in 136, I believe Number 18 is a jointly
`stipulated extension to the schedule, but due dates 3
`through 7 were not changed. 3, there is no motion to
`amend, so that takes us to 4.
` Do you want to comment on due date 4?
` MR. HARRISON: Well, due date 4 is really the

`
`-- it seems the only thing that is going to happen by
`due date 4 is a request for oral argument, which is
`administerial and the motion to exclude evidence.
` HON. PHILLIP J. KAUFFMAN: And we don't know
`yet if either side is doing the motion to exclude.
` MR. HARRISON: We expect patent owner is
`because patent owner objected to some evidence.
` MR. SAMUEL: Your Honor, may I comment on
`that?
` HON. PHILLIP J. KAUFFMAN: Yes, Mr. Samuel.
` MR. SAMUEL: The real -- only issue really
`here is whether the Worn reference, just one reference
`we're talking about here, is one that could have
`reasonably been raised by the petitioner for both the
`'525 and the '770 patent.
` I mean, one, ten pages is plenty of pages,
`and two, 5 to 7 business days is plenty to comment on
`just the one reference and whether it's reasonable.
` There's nothing else that's significant to be
`discussed. You know, they are the same patent -- the
`same claims that could be -- this -- in one short
`paragraph.
` I mean, other than that, the only outstanding
`issue is the issue of whether that could have been
`raised. That's it.

`
` And then the other thing I wanted to request,
`Your Honor, is that we would like to have an
`opportunity to reply to petitioner's opposition.
` HON. PHILLIP J. KAUFFMAN: And I will
`consider that with the panel. It is sort of customary
`to allow the moving party to have the last word.
` MR. SAMUEL: Thank you, Your Honor.
` HON. PHILLIP J. KAUFFMAN: So, Mr. Harrison,
`is there anything else you would like to say regarding
`timing?
` MR. HARRISON: Yes, Your Honor.
` If there's going to be a period of time where
`we're waiting for the decision or the authorization to
`file the motion, which is likely to be yes, and then a
`period of time for them to submit the motion, and then
`even the period that you're suggesting for the
`opposition, and then a period for the reply, and then
`a period for your decision, your consideration
`decision, there's no way that the board is going to
`render that decision before the motion to exclude
`evidence is due by October 30th, so there's literally
`no work that's going to be saved by giving us an extra
`week or two.
` HON. PHILLIP J. KAUFFMAN: I see your point
`and we will consider that.

` MR. HARRISON: Thank you, Your Honor.
` MR. BARCELO: And this is Rey Barcelo for
`petitioner. May I just make one more quick point, ask
`a question?
` HON. PHILLIP J. KAUFFMAN: Yes, Mr. Barcelo.
` MR. BARCELO: Yes, sorry to jump in. I was
`the declarant who spoke about whether the reference
`could have been found, and so forth, and as I'm
`listening to this, I'm just wondering, because it is
`such a fact-intensive inquiry, it's basically going to
`boil down to whether our searching was good enough
`originally. It hasn't been discussed whether there's
`going to be a hearing on the motion or whether
`customarily there's a hearing on this motion.
` It sounds like it's the kind of thing that
`could benefit for us, particularly as the declarants
`who talked about the searching are there, and if so,
`then it make sense to accept the oral argument on the
`merits of the IPR, just as in the first set of IPRs
`there was over an hour devoted to issues mostly raised
`by the patent owner on procedural issues, so that
`would be one efficient way to deal with this.
` HON. PHILLIP J. KAUFFMAN: I will consider
`that with the panel. Of course the counter-interest
`is that it could be resolved much sooner, and the

`longer the proceeding and closer that it gets towards
`the final decision, that sort of the cuts short making
`the final decision, so that delay pushes the
`proceeding in a certain direction, but we will
`consider that.
` MR. BARCELO: Understood. Thank you.
` HON. PHILLIP J. KAUFFMAN: So from my
`position, I think that wraps it up for this discussion
`on authorizing the motion.
` Mr. Samuel, is there anything else that you
`need to add?
` MR. SAMUEL: No, Your Honor. Thank you very
`much for your time.
` HON. PHILLIP J. KAUFFMAN: You're welcome.
` Mr. Harrison.
` MR. HARRISON: No, thank you.
` HON. PHILLIP J. KAUFFMAN: And for the court
`reporter, I'll give you a second to unmute yourself.
`Is there anything else you need from me, a spelling or
`anything?

`you very much for checking back with me. Thank you.

`you.
