`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`BEFORE THE PATENT TRIAL AND APPEAL BOARD
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`MICROSOFT CORPORATION, MICROSOFT MOBILE INC.,
`
`Petitioners,
`
`v.
`
`KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.,
`
`Patent Owner.

`
`
`Case No.: IPR2017-01766
`
`Patent No. RE44,913
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`JOINT STIPULATION ON MOTION FOR
`JOINDER UNDER 35 U.S.C § 315(c) AND
`37 C.F.R. § 42.22
`

`
`

`

`
`
`
`
`
`Microsoft Corporation and Microsoft Mobile Inc. (collectively,
`
`“Microsoft”), Petitioners in Case No. IPR2017-01766, and Koninklijke Philips
`
`N.V. (“Philips”), the Patent Owner in this case, held a telephonic hearing with the
`
`Board on August 22, 2017, to discuss Microsoft’s motion for joinder of IPR2017-
`
`01766 with IPR2017-00386. Google Inc. (“Google”) is the petitioner in Case No.
`
`IPR2017-00386.
`
`
`
`During the August 22 hearing, the Board instructed Philips and Microsoft to
`
`submit a joint filing by August 29, 2017, stating the parties’ agreed position
`
`regarding Microsoft’s motion for joinder. The Board also requested that Philips
`
`and Microsoft to reach out to Google to ascertain its position regarding the
`
`stipulation. Further to the Board’s request, Philips contacted Google to determine
`
`whether Google would oppose joinder under the terms set forth below. Google
`
`indicated to Philips and Microsoft that it does not oppose joinder generally, but
`
`that it does oppose certain terms for joinder that Philips and Microsoft have
`
`proposed, primarily with respect to the additional briefing contemplated in
`
`paragraph 4 below. The parties were unable to reach agreement with Google on
`
`this issue prior to the filing deadline. Therefore, Google does not join in this
`
`stipulation.
`
`
`
`In accordance with the Board’s order, the undersigned stipulate to joinder of
`
`IPR2017-01766 with IPR2017-00386 under the following terms:
`
`
`
`
`2
`
`

`

`
`
`
`
`
`
`1.
`
`Philips does not oppose Microsoft’s motion to join IPR2017-01766
`
`with IPR2017-00386.
`
`2.
`
`The joint proceeding will be based exclusively on the petition and
`
`evidence filed by Google in IPR2017-00386.
`
`3.
`
`If Microsoft receives any time for cross and re-direct examination of
`
`any witness or for oral argument, at Google’s discretion, such time
`
`will be taken from the time allotted to Google in IPR2017-00386.
`
`4.
`
`The submissions, page limits and word counts currently allotted in
`
`IPR2017-00386 for any written work product will not be affected by
`
`joinder, with the exception that, within 5 business days following the
`
`filing of any brief containing argument by Google, Microsoft may
`
`separately file up to five pages directed only to points of disagreement
`
`it may have with Google, and Philips may thereafter respond within 5
`
`business days with a corresponding number of pages. Microsoft may
`
`not separately advance any arguments in furtherance of those
`
`advanced by Google in the proceeding. This arrangement is intended
`
`to be consistent with that adopted by the Board in Dell, Inc. v.
`
`Network-1 Security Solutions, Inc., No. IPR2013-00385, Paper 17 at 8
`
`(P.T.A.B. July 29, 2013) and Motorola Mobility LLC v. SoftView
`
`LLC, No. IPR2013-00256, Paper 10 at 9 (P.T.A.B. June 20, 2013).
