`
`
`On January 17, 2018, Patent Owner provided a status report on Patent
`Owner’s bankruptcy proceedings, indicating that a creditors’ meeting took
`place on January 2, 2018. Ex. 3003.2 Patent Owner’s motion for a stay
`pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 362(a) (Paper 20) is pending before the Board.
`Petitioner opposes the motion, and asserts that these proceedings are
`excluded from the automatic stay. Paper 22.
`Given the parties’ dispute as to whether the automatic stay applies to
`these proceedings, we authorize Patent Owner to file a reply in support of its
`Motion to Stay. In particular, Patent Owner should address Petitioner’s
`contention that these proceedings are excluded from the automatic stay
`under 11 U.S.C. § 362(b)(4). See Paper 22, 1–9.
`For the foregoing reasons, it is
`ORDERED that Patent Owner is authorized to file a reply in support
`of its Motion to Stay no later than February 5, 2018;
`FURTHER ORDERED that DUE DATE 1 in the Scheduling Order
`for each of the above-referenced cases is hereby revised to February 26,
`2018, and due dates following DUE DATE 1 will be reset in a future order;
`and
`
`FURTHER ORDERED that Patent Owner shall provide the Board
`with a status report on the bankruptcy proceedings by email on or before
`February 19, 2018.
`
`
`
`
`
`2 We refer to the paper and exhibit numbers in IPR2017-00829.
