`ORDER
`Setting Expedited Date for Patent Owner Preliminary Response and Reply in
`Support of Motion for Joinder
`37 C.F.R. § 42.5
`
`In IPR2018-01244, IPR2018-01225, and IPR2018-01226, Petitioner
`filed petitions and motions to join already instituted respective proceedings
`IPR2018-00265, IPR2018-00333, and IPR2018-00522.
`A review of the record indicates that the Petitions (IPR2018-01244,
`IPR2018-01225, IPR2018-01226) challenge the same claims over the same
`references and on the same statutory grounds as in the instituted trials
`(IPR2018-00265, IPR2018-00333, and IPR2018-00522). The Petitions rely
`on new declarations by a declarant different from that relied upon in the
`instituted trials. The new declarations appear similar to the declarations
`submitted in the instituted trials.
`Times set by rules are default and may be modified by order of the
`Board, taking into account applicable statutory pendency goals. 37 C.F.R. §
`42.5(c)(1). In view of the circumstances of these cases, expedited dates for
`the patent owner preliminary response and replies to the oppositions to
`motion for joinder are not unduly burdensome and will assist in
`administering these proceedings in a just, speedy and efficient manner. 37
`C.F.R. § 42.1(b).

`
`
`Upon consideration of the foregoing, it is hereby:
`ORDERED that Patent Owner may file a patent owner preliminary
`response in IPR2018-01244, IPR2018-01225, and IPR2018-01226 not later
`than August 31, 2018.
`ORDERED that Petitioner may file a reply to the oppositions to
`motion for joinder in IPR2018-01226 not later than August 31, 2018.
