`A conference call in the above-captioned proceedings was held on
`March 1, 2023 with Mr. Jeremy Monaldo, counsel for Petitioner Samsung
`Electronics Co. Ltd. and Samsung Electronics America, Inc.; Mr. Parham
`Hendifar, counsel for Patent Owner Smart Mobile Technologies LLC in
`IPR2022-01248; Mr. Philip Graves, counsel for Patent Owner in IPR2022-
`01249; and Judges Jung, Baer, and Moore.
`In a prior email to the Board, Petitioner requested authorization to file
`a motion to submit supplemental information in each proceeding. Petitioner
`indicated that Patent Owner opposed the request. A conference call was
`arranged to discuss the request.
`During the conference, the parties discussed, inter alia, whether the
`supplemental information in the form of a declaration from Petitioner’s
`declarant to address issues regarding certain claims would be helpful or
`prejudicial, the sufficiency of the petitions filed in both proceedings, and the
`potential impact on the trial schedules.
`We took the matter under advisement. Upon further consideration, we
`authorize Petitioner to file a motion to submit supplemental information in
`each proceeding. The motion is limited to ten pages of argument and must
`be filed within five business days of the date of this Order. As discussed
`during the conference, Petitioner can also file the proposed declaration with
`its motion in an appendix to the motion, and the proposed declaration is not
`subject to page limit stated above. No other evidence may be filed with the
`motion.
`Patent Owner may file an opposition to Petitioner’s motion in each
`proceeding limited to ten pages of argument within within five business days

`of being served with the motion. No additional evidence may be filed with
`opposition.
`Also, as discussed during the conference, a reply to Patent Owner’s
`opposition is not authorized. If either party believes additional evidence is
`necessary, it should meet and confer with the other side and contact the
`Board by email.
`
`

`limited to ten pages of argument within five (5) business days of being
`served with the motion in each proceeding; and
