orders parties to file a joint status report by May 14, 2014 indicating whether there is any

issued its final decisions on all of the IPR petitions challenging the patents-in-suit, or further
order of the court, whichever occurs first. The court orders the parties to file a joint status report
forwarding the PTO’s final decisions within seven days of the conclusion of any IPR
proceedings.”
