`
`
`Counsel,
`
`
`The Board notes that IPR2017-00176 has been consolidated with IPR2017-00806 and joined with IPR2017-01688, and
`that IPR2017-00179 has been consolidated with IPR2017-00808 and joined with IPR2017-01690. The Board appreciates
`the parties’ non-opposition to the Board’s inclusion in this trial of all grounds raised in the Petitions (including (1)
`Franaszek and Hsu, and (2) Franaszek, Hsu, and Sebastian) without further briefing, notwithstanding their apparent
`dispute as to whether the Petitions adequately set forth separate grounds based on (1) Franaszek and Hsu, and (2)
`Franaszek, Hsu, and Sebastian. The Board notes, however, that even though counsel for the Petitioners in the four joined
`or consolidated proceedings were copied on the parties’ prior emails, these e-mails explicitly referenced only the lead cases
`(IPR2017-00176 and IPR2017-00179), and counsel for Petitioners in the four joined or consolidated proceedings did not
`explicitly confirm that they consent to this approach.
`
`
`In order to ensure that the record is clear, the Board requests that Patent Owner and the Petitioners in the six above-
`referenced proceedings respond to this e-mail to confirm that they consent to the Board considering and ruling on all
`patentability arguments set forth in the Petitions (including the Petitioners’ unpatentability arguments based on (1)
`Franaszek and Hsu, and (2) Franaszek, Hsu, and Sebastian) without further briefing, and without further oral argument.

`Your Honors:
`
`
`To clarify, Patent Owner does not believe there is an SAS issue here. The petitions were instituted on all offered
`grounds and all challenged claims. Nonetheless, Petitioner correctly states that Patent Owner does not object to
`the Board addressing, in its final written decision, (1) Franaszek and Hsu; and (2) Franaszek, Hsu, and
`Sebastian.

`Petitioner in the above-referenced proceedings requests that the Board consider the two grounds that it
`identified in the Petition in these matters, namely: (1) Franaszek and Hsu, and (2) Franaszek, Hsu, and
`Sebastian. Petitioner submits that the panel should evaluate the challenges set forth in the petition. Petitioner
`has conferred with Patent Owner, who does not object to this approach. The parties to these proceedings agree
`that all issues have been fully briefed and can be evaluated by the panel without further briefing unless the
`panel believes further briefing is needed.
