`Dear PTAB, 

`In accordance with the Board’s instructions in the July 26th email below, Petitioner writes to provide another update 
`regarding scheduling the deposition of Dr. Manuel Quintana in Spain in the above‐referenced proceedings.  It is 
`Petitioner’s understanding that Dr. Quintana has still not yet responded to the parties’ joint letter sent on Monday, July 
`19th.   

`Given the approaching due dates for Petitioner’s reply briefs in the above‐referenced proceedings, if the parties are 
`unable to make additional progress scheduling Dr. Quintana’s deposition by next Friday, August 6th, Petitioner 
`respectfully requests: (a) a conference call with the Board for guidance on how the parties should proceed; and/or (b) 
`authorization to move to strike Dr. Quintana’s declaration in the above‐referenced proceedings.  Thank you for your 
`time and assistance in resolving this matter. 

`Best regards, 
`Kyle Deighan

`Dear PTAB, 
`  
`In accordance with the Board’s instructions during the telephonic hearing last Thursday, July 15th regarding the 
`deposition of Dr. Manuel Quintana in the above‐referenced proceedings, the parties write to provide an update on 
`progress in scheduling Dr. Quintana’s deposition in Spain.  Following the teleconference with the Board, the parties 
`cooperated to prepare a joint letter requesting that Dr. Quintana be available for deposition in Spain regarding his May 
`17, 2021 sworn affidavit.  Patent Owner’s counsel sent the letter via email and expedited international delivery to Dr. 
`Quintana on Monday, July 19th, and requested a response from Dr. Quintana by today, Friday, July 23rd.  Dr. Quintana 
`has not yet responded to the letter. 
`  
`Given that Dr. Quintana has not yet responded to the deposition request and that the parties are still working to set up 
`Dr. Quintana’s deposition in Spain, Petitioner New World Medical, Inc. respectfully requests the opportunity to provide 
`another update to the Board regarding Dr. Quintana’s deposition by next Friday, July 30th.  Thank you for your time in

`
`Dear PTAB: 

`We represent Petitioner New World Medical, Inc. in the above‐referenced IPR proceedings.  We write to request a 
`teleconference with the Board to seek the Board’s guidance on an issue that has arisen regarding the deposition of one 
`of Patent Owner’s witnesses in the above‐referenced proceedings.  Patent Owner has submitted uncompelled direct 
`testimony in the form of a declaration by Dr. Manuel Quintana, who is located in Spain.  Patent Owner has indicated that 
`Dr. Quintana will not be made available for deposition in the United States.  Petitioner believes Dr. Quintana should 
`appear for in‐person deposition in the United States in accordance with 37 C.F.R. § 42.53(b)(2).  The parties have met 
`and conferred but have not reached an agreement as to the location of Dr. Quintana’s deposition.  Petitioner therefore 
`requests a conference call with the Board.  The parties are available Wednesday, July 14 from 12‐5pm eastern and 
`Thursday, July 15 from 10am‐3pm eastern for a conference call.
