` JUDGE BOUCHER: So just to reiterate, this
`is a call for a TR 2018-1257 and 1258. And also on
`the line with me are Judges Giovanni and Ogden.
`Because there's a court reporter, I just ask the
`parties to try and make sure that the court
`reporter knows who's speaking perhaps by saying
`your name if you interject at some point just so
`that we can try and maintain a clean transcript
`without any unneeded interruption by the -- by the
`reporter.
` So, Mr. Key, it was the patent owner who
`requested the call so why don't you begin and
`unwind for us what it is you want to talk about. I
`know it's with respect to a motion to terminate the
`proceedings for failure to name all real parties in
`interest and maybe also Privy's. But if you could
`just kind of set forth the full context for us, we
`would appreciate that.
` MR. KEY: Yes, Your Honor, and thank you
`for your time today. As the Board may recall,
`there are a series of parties that have some --
`some commonality that are relevant to these IPRs.

`
`They are all parties have been accused of
`infringing the 438 and 978 patents that are the
`subject of the current IPRs. The accused product
`are all based on the -- or used the Android
`operating system, which we understand is under
`license from Google to the other parties, and the
`Android operating system serves as a substantial
`basis for the infringement claims.
` And as we have -- you noted before, there
`are certain relationships between and among these
`parties, and we believe that those -- the facts and
`circumstances surrounding those relationships
`justify a motion to terminate for failure to name
`an RPI of Privy. And for example, we know now that
`in a series of related RPIs brought against the
`same patent, LG, who is one of those parties, has
`admitted they have an RPI relationship with Google,
`with Huawei and with ZTE, all of whom are these --
`one of these Android parties, and that can be found
`in IPR 2019-559 paper one at five; IPR 2019-560
`paper one at three; IPR 2019-1203 paper one at one.
`And of course with these IPRs, Google has admitted

`
`that Huawei is an RPI.
` So there's clearly admitted RPI
`relationships between and among them. LG was time
`barred as of the time that Google brought this --
`the current IPRs, and as a result under 315(b),
`it's patent holder's position that Google was also
`time barred and failed to identify the time barred
`real party in interest, at least LG and maybe
`others.
` We think the facts and circumstances here
`in addition sounding these admissions including
`some agreements we brought to the Board's attention
`before further support this -- this point, and --
`and there also seems to be a pattern of all of
`these Android parties acting in concert. In this
`case, there's been a total of 12 petitions filed by
`Google, LG, Huawei and CTE, and that's happened
`before. In the Seven Networks cases, which I
`believe Your Honor is familiar with, Google filed
`16 petitions followed by Samsung with 10, and four
`petitions to join followed by ZTE and four
`petitions to join. So there's clearly to what we

`
`believe is a clear reference, there is a
`preexisting legal relationship between these
`parties directly related to the technology at
`issue, and that they are all clear beneficiaries.
` The important point is that at least one
`and maybe more of these parties is time barred, and
`as a result, under the Federal Circuit's case law
`and under 315(b), we believe that there's
`sufficient basis to dismiss the petitions in their
`entirety, and we want the opportunity to file the
`motion with the Board, get it briefed so that it
`can become part of the trial in September.
` JUDGE BOUCHER: Okay. Mr. -- Mr. Key,
`this is -- this is Judge Boucher. And I guess one
`question I have is: Do -- do you have any evidence
`at this time with respect to the real party in
`interest issue that you did not have when we
`previously discussed the motion for additional
`discovery?
` MR. KEY: I'm not sure, your Honor, about
`the -- the admissions from -- from LG in the -- in
`the petitions. I would have to double check the

`
`dates on that. Some of the evidence was there, but
`I believe at least one of the ZTE IPRs, the LG
`admission may have come up since then.
` JUDGE BOUCHER: Okay. Mr. Smith, can we
`hear your response, please?
` MR. SMITH: Yes, Judge Boucher, thank you.
`First of all, with respect to evidence beyond the
`motion for additional discovery, I think everything
`has been presented before and looked at by the
`Board for with possibly the exception of the
`discussion in the LG petition, but the base case is
`they really don't go beyond what the Board's stand
`is on the Seven Networks case is bonding there be a
`customer-supplier relationship and not a
`relationship that would give rise to a real party
`interest as between Google and, for example,
`Samsung.
` With respect to the LG petition filing, I
`think it's important to note that LG filed three
`petitions, two of which sought to join preexisting
`Google petitions, and one of which sought to join a
`preexisting ZTE petition. In the petitions filed

`
`by LGE sought to join preexisting Google petitions,
`LG named LG entities as real parties in interest,
`and then named as real parties in interest the
`entities in the original petitions without naming
`ZTE, and then ZTE petitioned. In other words, the
`LG petitioner sought to join the original ZTE
`petition. LG did something corresponding naming
`parties as real parties in interest that were named
`in the original ZTE petition but not naming Google
`and Huawei. Why LGE -- why LG did that, I'm not
`entirely sure, but it does perhaps adjust within
`reason.
` I don't think it's indicative of a
`relationship between the parties. And in any case,
`the Board has consistently held, I think, that the
`RPI question is about the relationship between the
`party and proceeding, and not necessarily the
`relationship between parties in the process that's
`really a question of how a party relates to a
`proceeding. So I don't think it's accurate to say
`that LG has submitted an RPI relationship that we
`have been talking about the specific facts and

`
`circumstances of their proceeding, and I don't know
`what they are thinking when they actually make that
`designation, so I can't speak to that directly.
` JUDGE BOUCHER: Okay. This is Judge
`Boucher, and I just wanted to ask Mr. Smith at this
`point right now, we are not really looking at the
`merits necessarily, but whether to authorize the
`motion. And it seems to me fair to say that both
`the Board and the Federal Circuit have recently
`been focusing a fair bit of attention on real party
`in interest issues. Why would it -- why would it
`not be appropriate that these two authorize the
`motions so that we can get the arguments on the
`record for this -- for this case? I mean, I have a
`lot of parties involved, I think. You know, just
`the ones that I'm certain immediately were, and I
`think there are 13 IPRs involving these various
`entities so go ahead, please.
` MR. SMITH: Yes, Your Honor. Certainly
`that's within your discretion to order or to not
`order. Our belief is that it's simply not worth
`the parties' time given what society has brought

`
`forward does involve substantial amounts of
`extensive bandwidth to respond to these types of
`things.
` So our position on that is it does take a
`considerable amount of time and bandwidths to
`respond to a motion like this unless we bring
`something more substantial than what was brought
`forward and examined by the Board in the Seven
`Networks case is not worth focusing on.
` JUDGE BOUCHER: Okay. Mr. Key, I want to
`give you an opportunity to respond before I confer
`with the panel about what action they will take.
` MR. KEY: Thank you, Your Honor.
` JUDGE BOUCHER: I guess my question is why
`isn't Mr. Smith right that the evidence he pointed
`to is really a little bit soft, and in particular,
`you know, even when the LG case is identifying
`other real other parties in interest, it does not
`necessarily suggest that that extends to all of the
`parties that are involved with -- with these
`particular patents, but if you can just give us
`some sense of how you view that particular issue, I

`
`think it might be helpful.
` MR. KEY: Yes, Your Honor. So first of
`all, at the end of the day, it remains the
`Petitioner's burden to show that they have
`identified all of the real parties in interest, and
`what we need to do, our job here is to raise a
`substantial question, and we think that is raised.
`And we don't think that there's anything that's
`been ruled on before that actually is dispositive
`here. We strongly disagree with that.
` For example, in the motion to -- for
`further discovery, the issue there additionally was
`just that, further discovery. There was -- the
`Board denied the motion because of timeliness
`issues that are not present here because in the
`Vintex decision, which is IPR 2017-651 paper 73 at
`three note two, it's already been found that the --
`the time bar is not a waivable issue so it is not
`something that is subject to worrying about the --
`the timing issues. And also in the prior motion,
`the question was breadth of request. That is not
`an issue here. We are putting what we want to do

`is brief and put the whole picture before the
`Board, the facts and circumstances before the
`Board, and I believe that the -- the RPI issue is
`-- is so important and with the issues somewhat
`influx, even the Supreme Court is looking at
`another -- taking another look at issues around
`time bar, et cetera. We think it -- it should be
`-- we should have the ability to bring it forward.
`And remembering that that prior motion was not a
`ruling on the substance, it was just a ruling on --
`on the appropriateness of the additional discovery.
` And in terms of the substance, I would
`note in that case, one of the critical facts was
`that the agreement at issue between Google and
`Samsung did not -- indemnification did not relate
`to the technology at issue. That same agreement
`relates directly to the knowledge at issue here.
`And so we think the facts are -- we don't think
`it's weak evidence. We think it's all the facts
`and -- and circumstances, and that -- and that we
`present all the facts and circumstances, I'll be
`honest with you, it starts to jump off the page

`
`that we had a group here that acts in concert that
`-- and clearly have a preexisting legal
`relationship, we know that, and they have a mutual
`benefit in -- in attacking these patents. So we
`think LG's statements are not just some throw away,
`and they have been made at multiple IPRs. I think
`that has to be noted. We've been very consistent.
`So we now have a pattern that we -- we want to put
`forward. Let's make it part of the trial because
`this issue is too important not to.
` JUDGE BOUCHER: Okay. Mr. Key, if we were
`to authorize the motion, what sort of timing and
`page length would you have in mind for the -- for
`the motion?
` MR. KEY: In terms of timing, I believe we
`would be ready to file it by the end of the week.
`In terms of page lengths, I think we would ask that
`it just be the -- the normal page lengths for
`motions. I don't know that we need all the pages,
`but I don't think that we necessarily need to be
`truncated.

`15 pages. Mr. Smith, Mr. Key actually said a
`little bit more than I anticipated. I don't want
`you to feel shortchanged in presenting your
`arguments. I do want to give you a chance to
`address the additional things that he might have
`raised in his response there.
` MR. SMITH: Yes. Thank you, Your Honor, I
`appreciate that. Just a couple of quick points.
`One is I don't think there's any evidence that the
`party is acting in concert. There were a large
`number of patents involved in the Seven Networks
`cases and have a large number of proceedings. In
`this case, there are more proceedings but people
`trying to join the original proceeding. I also
`wanted to point out that the citations of Vintex
`about RPI being an ongoing issue is to -- a conduct
`of the preceding order, not to be a presidential
`order that was later found to be presidential by
`the P tab.
` With respect to timing, I would like to
`ask for a little bit more time than what Mr. Key is
`asking for that the Board should authorize the

`order. I mean, obviously, that's why we note
`that's going to file it since it's been preparing
`it, but until we know the context of that and what
`we have to respond to and, you know, what sort of
`evidence we might have to gather, if any, that, you
`know, I think is something that publically can't be
`done. A week, and we might be stretching it to two
`weeks.
` I don't know if there's a rush for this.
`That's probably something the Board would decide in
`the final written decision that's been authorized
`in the motion anyway, but I just wanted to point
`that out; that that timeline is probably not
`realistic for a response if the Board wants to
`support the motion.
` JUDGE BOUCHER: Okay. What would be a
`realistic timeline from your perspective?
` MR. SMITH: I can't actually say, Your
`Honor, until we see what's in the motion, but my
`guess would be about three weeks.

`you didn't allow the Petitioner three weeks to

`respond to opposing motion, would that affect how
`much time you thought you would need to prepare the
`motion in the first instance?
` MR. KEY: No. I don't believe it would,
`Your Honor, and we are more than happy to work with
`Petitioner's counsel on a schedule so that it's
`going to be cued up for the -- for the trial. We
`think there's plenty of opportunity to try and do
`that. That's not going to be an issue for us.

`will be back in just a couple minutes.

`regulations. Given that there's some issue with
`respect to timing, I think we would prefer to allow
`the parties to talk about the specific timing of
`that -- of how the -- the timing along which the
`briefing could be completed with respect to a
`motion position and a reply. And if the parties
`could meet and confer and let us know within a

`you propose. If you can't come to some kind of
`agreement, then we will obviously come up with our
`own schedule.

`
`have -- in these proceedings, we have pending pro
`hac motions for admission, I think, of Mr. Shore.
`Does the Petitioner oppose those or have any
`intention of opposing them? I don't -- I don't
`think the motions themselves indicated whether or
`not the patent owner had conferred, and they
`represent that the Petitioner did not oppose those
`motions.
` MR. SMITH: Yes, Your Honor. We certainly
`conferred about that. Ultimately, we chose not to
`oppose the motions as long as the patent owner's
`counsel, you know, is willing to abide by all of
`the Board's rules and regulations.
