`
`REVISED SCHEDULING ORDER
`
`
`
`
`
`1 This Order addresses overlapping issues in the cases listed above.
`Therefore, we issue one Order to be filed in each case. The parties,
`however, are not authorized to use this style of filing
`
`
`
`IPR2021-00375 (Patent 8,265,096 B2)
`IPR2021-00377 (Patent 8,249,204 B2)
`IPR2021-00582 (Patent 8,565,326 B2)
`On October 4, 2021, we issued an order permitting the parties to file
`additional briefing to address the issues of patent ownership and standing.
`See, e.g., IPR2021-00375, Paper 19. To accommodate the additional
`briefing and to minimize the expenditure of resources by the parties, we
`amended the Scheduling Order in each proceeding to change DUE DATE 1
`to December 7, 2021. Id. We now further amend the Scheduling Order in
`each proceeding to change DUE DATES 2 through 8 to enable the Board to
`complete each trial within the one-year statutory deadline, align the
`schedules of all three proceedings, and hold a consolidated hearing for all
`three proceeding on the same day. DUE DATES 2 through 8 are revised
`according to the attached REVISED DUE DATE APPENDIX.
`The parties are still permitted to stipulate to different dates for DUE
`DATES 1, 5, and 6, as well as the portion of DUE DATE 2 related to
`Petitioner’s reply (earlier or later, but no later than DUE DATE 3 for Patent
`Owner’s sur-reply) and the portion of DUE DATE 3 related to Patent
`Owner’s sur-reply (earlier or later, but no later than DUE DATE 7). The
`parties may not stipulate to a different date for the portion of DUE DATE 2
`related to Petitioner’s opposition to a motion to amend, or for the portion of
`DUE DATE 3 related to Patent Owner’s reply to an opposition to a motion
`to amend (or Patent Owner’s revised motion to amend) without prior
`authorization from the Board. In stipulating to move any due dates in the
`scheduling order, the parties must be cognizant that the Board requires four
`weeks after the filing of an opposition to the motion to amend (or the due
`date for the opposition, if none is filed) for the Board to issue its preliminary
`guidance, if requested by Patent Owner. A notice of the stipulation,

`IPR2021-00377 (Patent 8,249,204 B2)
`IPR2021-00582 (Patent 8,565,326 B2)
`specifically identifying the changed due dates, must be promptly filed. The
`parties may not stipulate an extension of DUE DATES 4, 7, and 8.
`In stipulating different times, the parties should consider the effect of
`the stipulation on times to object to evidence (37 C.F.R. § 42.64(b)(1)), to
`supplement evidence (§ 42.64(b)(2)), to conduct cross-examination
`(§ 42.53(d)(2)), and to draft papers depending on the evidence and cross-
`examination testimony
