`
`
`
`
`Case CBM2012-00003
`Patent 8,140,358
`
`On March 25, 2014, a telephone conference call was held. The
`
`participants were respective counsel for the parties and Judges Lee, Chang,
`and Zecher. Patent Owner initiated the call, and arranged for the services of
`a court reporter. Counsel for Patent Owner agreed to file a copy of the
`transcript of the conference call.
`The Board rendered a final written decision on February 11, 2014.
`Paper 78. Petitioner filed a Request for Rehearing on March 13, 2014.
`Paper 81.
`Counsel for Patent Owner explained that it makes two requests, in the
`alternative: (1) authorization for filing a “Motion to Strike” Petitioner’s
`Request for Rehearing, because it cannot reasonably be deemed a Request
`for Rehearing; and (2) an opportunity to respond to Petitioner’s Request for
`Rehearing.
`The Board authorized Patent Owner to respond to Petitioner’s Request
`for Rehearing.
`It is
`ORDERED that Patent Owner is authorized to file a response, limited
`to 3 pages, by March 28, 2014, to Petitioner’s Request for rehearing (Paper
`81).
