`
`Regarding Mr. Butler, Patent Owner agrees not to seek a deposition of Mr. Butler in relation to his existing declarations
`of record submitted with the Petition based upon your agreement below not to rely on the Butler declarations of record
`
`in reply or further papers in this proceeding.
`
`With respect to the protective order, you are correct - our version only makes formatting/minor corrections.

`
`Steve:
`
`Regarding Mr. Butler, Petitioner can agree not to rely on the declaration of record in reply or further papers in this
`proceeding.
`I presume we can agree a deposition is not needed since the parties agree that his testimony is not relevant
`to any issue on which trial was instituted.
`
`Regarding the protective order, if I am understanding the comparison you provided, there are no substantive differences
`between the standard P0 and the one you sent. There appears to be one instance in which the word "nonconfidential"
`was changed to "non—confidential" and some other small changes to formatting and the title of the document.
`If I'm
`missing something that you believe was a substantive change to the Board's default order, please let me know. If there
`are no other substantive differences, we are fine with the terms.
`
`I think that wraps up the outstanding action—items. Please let me know if you think differently.
