`
`A conference call in these cases took place on December 6, 2017.
`The parties were represented by their respective counsel. In addition,
`bankruptcy counsel for Patent Owner as well as a bankruptcy trustee were
`present on the call. The purpose of the call was to discuss Patent Owner’s
`request for leave to file a motion to stay based on Patent Owner’s recent
`filing for bankruptcy.
`During the call, Patent Owner’s counsel informed the Board that
`Patent Owner filed for bankruptcy on November 30, 2017, and that a
`bankruptcy trustee has been appointed. Patent Owner’s counsel contended
`that the automatic stay under 11 U.S.C. § 362 applies to the above-
`referenced proceedings. Petitioner’s counsel opposed any stay of these
`proceedings.
`Upon consideration of the parties’ arguments, Patent Owner is
`authorized to file a motion to stay no later than December 13, 2017, and
`Petitioner is authorized to file a response to that motion no later than
`December 20, 2017. No reply is authorized at this time. In addition, DUE
`DATE 1 and DUE DATE 2 in the Scheduling Order for each of the above-
`referenced cases are hereby revised to January 3, 2018, and April 4, 2018,
`respectively.

`and DUE DATE 2 in the Scheduling Order for each of the above-referenced
`cases is hereby revised to April 4, 2018;
`FURTHER ORDERED that Patent Owner shall provide the Board
`with a status report on the bankruptcy proceedings by email on or before
