`IPR2016-01021 (Patent 8,718,158 B2)
`
`
`TQ Delta, LLC (“Patent Owner”) filed a Motion for Additional
`Discovery in the above identified proceedings. Paper 34 (“”Motion” or
`“Mot.”).2 Cisco Systems, Inc. (“Petitioner”) filed an opposition. Paper 39.
`In each Motion, Patent Owner requests documents identified in Exhibit
`2015. Mot. 1. Exhibit 2015 states the following:
`Patent Owner requests that Petitioner, its expert Dr. Jose Tellado,
`and Petitioner’s IPR counsel produce a copy of each unique
`version of Matlab simulation code and simulation results
`(including any full or partial results) for an 18,000 foot loop,
`including without limitation the simulation code and results that
`Dr. Tellado testified about during his cross-examination on June
`20, 2017. See Ex. 2013 at 45:23–47:18.
`In our Final Written Decisions, entered concurrently with this
`Decision, we determine that we need not consider whether, and to what
`extent, Shively’s proposed system causes clipping. The discovery Patent
`Owner seeks is directed to the parties’ arguments with respect to whether,
`and to what extent, Shively’s proposed system causes clipping. Mot. 2–3.
`The requested discovery is moot in light of our Final Written Decisions.
`Accordingly, it is
`ORDERED that Patent Owner’s Motions for additional discovery in
`the above identified proceedings are dismissed.
