`
`
`An initial conference call was held via telephone on January 29, 2018,
`with Administrative Patent Judges Newman, Mitchell, and Hulse. David L.
`Cavanaugh and Johnathan Ben-Ur Roses appeared on behalf of Patent
`Owner. Steven J. Moore appeared on behalf of Petitioner. No court reporter
`was indicated to be present.
`Neither party filed a list of proposed motions before the call. Counsel
`for Patent Owner indicated that Patent Owner did not currently intend to file
`a motion to amend the claims of the patent at issue, but Patent Owner had
`not made a final decision in that regard. General guidance for motion to
`amend practice was provided in the event Patent Owner elects this option,
`including that Patent Owner must confer with the Board before filing its
`motion. 37 C.F.R. § 42.121(a). Parties may request a conference with us by
`contacting the Board staff by e-mail at Trials@uspto.gov or by telephone at
`571-272-7822.
`
`Neither party indicated any need to modify the Scheduling Order
`issued January 2, 2018 (Paper 15). No other issues were raised.
