`
`
`An initial conference call in the above proceedings was held on March
`15, 2017, between respective counsel for the parties, and Judges Medley,
`Homere, and Clements.
`Prior to the call, only Patent Owner filed a proposed motions list. On
`the call, each party confirmed that, at this time, it does not anticipate filing
`any motions not already authorized by our Rules or in the Scheduling Order.
`Patent Owner plans to file a motion to amend by the due date set forth in the
`Scheduling Order, and will request a call to confer with the Board
`beforehand. Neither party is aware of any settlement discussion regarding
`the current proceedings or the parallel litigation proceeding.
`Each party also confirmed that it does not have any issue with Due
`Dates 1–6, as currently set.
`For now, with respect to Due Date 7, each party confirmed that it has
`no conflict with scheduling the oral argument, if requested, on November
`14, 2017. Also, both parties expressed a preference for conducting the
`hearing in San Jose, California. The panel has determined that a hearing
`room in San Jose, California, is available on November 14, 2017. Thus,
`pending receipt of timely party requests for a hearing, it appears at this time
`that we will be able to accommodate the parties’ preference to conduct the
`hearing in San Jose, California.
