`
`In the Google v. Hammond IPR proceedings (IPR2020‐00020, ‐00080, ‐00081, ‐00214, ‐00298, ‐00305, ‐00306, ‐00411, ‐
`00412, ‐00413, ‐00414, ‐00415), Patent Owner Hammond has not objected to Petitioner Google’s certifications 
`regarding its request to substitute experts.  Under the Board’s Orders dated June 19, 2020, Petitioner’s request would 
`be granted absent any objection.  The parties have met and conferred regarding procedures for filing the substitute 
`declarations and, as Petitioner outlined in the teleconference with the Board (Ex‐1020), propose the following 
`procedure: 
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Petitioner will file substitute declarations for its substitute expert that are identical to its previous expert’s
`declaration (Ex‐1003 in each proceeding), with the following revisions:
`The substitute declarations will delete the qualifications section of Petitioner’s previous expert, but
`
`provide blank paragraph numbering to preserve the original paragraph numbering of the substantive
`portions of the declarations;
`A new qualifications section will be added at the end of the declarations with additional numbered
`paragraphs to reflect the qualifications of the substitute expert; and
`The substitute declarations will be signed by Petitioner’s substitute expert.
`
`The parties ask that the Board consider references in the Petitions and other filed documents to the original
`expert declarations (Ex‐1003 in each proceeding) to refer to the substitute declarations (to be Ex‐1021 in each
`proceeding).
`Petitioner will file the substitute declarations with updated Exhibit Lists promptly for all currently‐instituted
`proceedings, and shall work diligently to file substitute declarations in proceedings in which a decision to
`institute has not yet been made.
`
`The parties have further met and conferred regarding schedule adjustments and expect to file adjusted schedules to 
`accommodate the substitution of experts. 
`
`The parties are available for a further teleconference, should the Board decide one is necessary.

`Kevin Rodkey
