Case No. 3:14-cv-03657 SI 

JOINT REPORT REGARDING 

INTER PARTES REVIEW 

The Honorable Susan Illston 

Pursuant to the Court’s July 28, 2015 Order continuing the stay until September 30, 2015 

and requiring a joint statement by September 25, 2015 (Dkt. No. 35), MLC Intellectual Property, 

LLC (“MLC”) and Micron Technology, Inc. (“Micron”) provide this Joint Report. On August 

19, 2015, Micron filed a request with the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (the “Board”) of the U.S. 

Patent and Trademark Office seeking rehearing of the decision not to institute an inter partes 

review of U.S. Patent No. 5,764,571. The inter partes review trial practice guide provides that 

“[t]he Board envisions that, absent a need for additional briefing by an opponent, requests for 

rehearing will be decided approximately one month after receipt of the request.” 77 Fed. Reg. 

48768. As of the filing of this report, the Board has not requested MLC to file a response to 

Micron’s rehearing request and Micron’s request has not been decided.

JOINT REPORT REGARDING INTER PARTES REVIEW

NO. 3:14-CV-03657 SI

On February 3, 2015, the parties filed a Stipulation and [Proposed] Order Regarding 

Briefing Schedule for the Claim Construction Hearing. Dkt. No. 30. Later that day, the Court 

granted Micron’s motion to stay the case pending inter partes review. Dkt. No. 31. As a result of 

the stay, various deadlines and events on the Court’s calendar were vacated. See id. at 5 

(“Because this action is stayed, the case management conference scheduled for March 20, 2015, 

is VACATED.”); February 4, 2015 Docket Text (vacating June 10, 2015 Tutorial and June 17, 

2015 Claim Construction Hearing). 

MLC’s Position: 

MLC requests that the Court reschedule the case management conference previously set 

for March 20, 2015. 

Micron’s Position: 

In view of the Board’s pending Decision on Rehearing, Micron respectfully requests the 

Court extend the existing stay for at least one month to Friday, October 30, 2015, with a joint 

status report due Monday, October 26, 2015. Should the Board issue its decision before October 

26, 2015, the parties would jointly report the decision within three business days thereafter. 

Respectfully submitted,
