`
`Inter partes review was instituted in the above-referenced cases on
`February 19, 2019 (IPR2018-01422, -01423, -01424) and February 25, 2019
`(IPR2018-01425, -01426, -01427). Paper 14.2 Patent Owner filed a
`Response (Paper 24) to each Petition, and Petitioner filed a Reply (Paper 39,
`“Reply”) to each Response.
`In an e-mail to the Board on September 17, 2019, Patent Owner
`requested authorization to file a motion to strike certain exhibits, testimony,
`and arguments submitted or advanced in connection with each Reply, or
`alternatively, sought other relief the Board deems appropriate. Petitioner
`opposed Patent Owner’s request. A conference call was held between
`counsel for the parties and the Board (Judges Chagnon, Worth, and Smith)
`on September 19, 2019, to discuss Patent Owner’s request.3
`During the conference call, counsel for the parties and the Board
`discussed Patent Owner’s request, giving the parties the opportunity to
`present their arguments and explanations to support their positions. Patent
`Owner argued that certain exhibits, testimony, and arguments submitted or
`advanced in connection with each Reply should have been presented in the
`Petition or otherwise exceeded the scope of a proper reply. Petitioner
`presented opposing arguments in response to each of Patent Owner’s
`arguments.
`Based on our consideration of the parties’ positions, it is hereby:
`ORDERED that Patent Owner may file a 5-page paper, in each of the
`above-referenced inter partes reviews, on or before September 30, 2019,
`
`
`2 Paper numbers in this Order refer to papers filed in IPR2018-01422.
`3 The transcript of the call should be made of record as soon as possible.

`response to Patent Owner’s paper, in each of the above-referenced inter
`partes reviews, on or before October 9, 2019; and
`FURTHER ORDERED that no declaration or other evidence may be
