`and Appeal Board (the "Board") mailed a Notice of Filing Date Accorded to Petition

`
`As noted in Petitioner's Motion for Joinder, the Board has indicated that "if
`
`the parties both desire to replace the grounds based on Foster, Keyes, and Lamont
`
`with grounds based on the published applications, and have the new grounds
`
`included in the CBM2013-00056 trial,
`
`the Petitioner can file another petition,
`
`including only prior art grounds based in Whole or in part on the publications
`
`corresponding to Foster, Keyes, and Lamont that are identical in wording, but for
`
`the identification of references, to those grounds instituted for trial in the CBM2013-
`
`00056 proceeding that are based in Whole or in part on Foster, Keyes, and Lamont."
`
`Motion for Joinder, April 10, 2014, Paper No. 4, Page 4 (citing CBM2013-00056,
`
