`
`Counsel,
`
`In the above-referenced cases, Petitioner filed motions for joinder concurrently with its petitions. Each
`motion requests that the Board proceed without a preliminary response or that the deadline for the
`preliminary response be accelerated. Paper 3 in each proceeding, at 6. In its opposition to each motion,
`Patent Owner does not appear to address this request. Paper 7 in each proceeding. No later than July
`11, 2018, Patent Owner’s counsel is directed to respond by email indicating (1) whether Patent Owner
`intends to file a preliminary response in these proceedings, and (2) if so, whether Patent Owner agrees
`to an accelerated deadline for filing a preliminary response (as well as Patent Owner’s proposal for that
`deadline).
