`ORDER
`Conduct of the Proceeding
`37 C.F.R. § 42.5

`Patent 6,195,302
`
`A conference call in above-cited inter partes reviews occurred on
`
`August 1, 2017. Respective counsel for Petitioner and Patent Owner, and
`
`Judges Lee, Turner, and Hudalla were on the call. The purpose of the call
`
`was to discuss proposed changes to the Scheduling Order.
`
`Petitioner indicated that Patent Owner’s Responses (Paper 10) in both
`
`proceedings do not raise any substantive arguments other than reserving
`
`Patent Owner’s rights pending the outcome of the Supreme Court granting
`
`certiorari in Oil States Energy Servs., LLC v. Greene’s Energy Grp., LLC,
`
`No. 16-712, 2017 WL 2507340 (U.S. June 12, 2017). On the conference
`
`call, Patent Owner did not dispute the characterization. Based on this,
`
`Petitioner asserted that these proceedings are ripe for issuance of final
`
`written decisions.
`
`On the conference call, both parties indicated that they do not intend
`
`to request oral hearing, and that there are no subsequent filings to be made
`
`by the parties, save short Replies to Patent Owner’s Responses to be filed in
`
`short order by Petitioner. After conferring, the panel indicated that the
`
`parties may file a joint notice of stipulation as to the remaining Due Dates,
`
`including Due Dates 6 and 7. That stipulation should also memorialize that
`
`both parties are waiving their right to seek an oral hearing in these
`
`proceedings in conjunction with Due Date 7.
`
`Accordingly, it is
`
`ORDERED that both parties shall file a joint notice of stipulation as to
`
`the remaining Due Dates in these proceedings; and
`
`FURTHER ORDERED that the joint notice of stipulation must
`
`indicate that both parties waive their rights to oral hearing in these
`
`proceedings.
