`Conduct of the Proceeding
`37 C.F.R. § 42.5
`
`A conference call in the above proceeding was held on November 5,
`2014 between respective counsel for Petitioner and Patent Owner, and
`Judges Petravick and Powell. Petitioner initiated the call to discuss the late
`filing of supplementary Mandatory Notices under 37 C.F.R. § 42.8 regarding
`the real party-in-interest.

`
`DISCUSSION
`37 C.F.R. § 42.8(a)(3) requires that a party file supplementary
`Mandatory Notices within 21 days of a change of the information. Petitioner
`explained that Micros Systems, Inc., an entity of the Petitioner and a real
`party-in-interest, was acquired by Oracle or its subsidiary, effective on
`September 8, 2014. Because of the complexities of the transaction involving
`the acquisition, Counsel for Petitioner was not timely informed of the
`acquisition. Accordingly, we authorize Petitioner to supplement its
`Mandatory Notices by November 17, 2014. Patent Owner did not express
`any objection to Petitioner’s late supplementation of its Mandatory Notices.
`ORDER
`In consideration of the foregoing, it is:
`ORDERED that Petitioner may supplement, by November 17, 2014,
`its Mandatory Notices under 37 C.F.R. § 42.8.
