`
`RESPONSE TO MOTION FOR JOINDER IN IPR2017-00710
`U.S. PATENT NO.8,504,746
`
`
`In response to Petitioner LG Electronics’ Motion for Joinder (Paper
`
`
`
`No. 3), Patent Owner Papst Licensing GmbH & Co. KG (“Papst”) does not
`
`oppose Petitioner’s motion to join IPR2017-00710 with IPR2016-01211 on
`
`the condition that the consolidated proceeding is limited to the instituted
`
`grounds of IPR2016-01211, and subject to the conditions agreed to by
`
`Huawei in its motion, including its agreement to abide by the current
`
`schedule, to consolidate filings and discovery with the Canon petitioners, to
`
`refrain from seeking any discovery beyond that sought by the Canon
`
`petitioners, and to assume a subordinate, understudy role.
`
`
`
`In view of the above, and to allow the Board to issue a decision on
`
`joinder and the Petition, Papst hereby waives its right to file a Preliminary
`
`Response in this proceeding, while reserving its right to do so if joinder is
`
`denied.
