`Petitioner Response to Paper No. 5
`
`This paper is filed in response to the Notice of Filing Date Accorded to
`
`Petition and Time for Filing Patent Owner Preliminary Response that was mailed
`
`on March 25, 2015 (Paper No. 5) (the "Notice"). The Notice requests that
`
`Petitioner correct a defect concerning improper usage of claim charts under 3 7
`
`C.F.R. § 42.6(a)(2)(iii), which apparently relates to alleged improper argument
`
`contained in Petitioner's claim charts. However, the Notice does not identify the
`
`page( s) or specific portion( s) of the Petition that contain the alleged improper
`
`argument.
`
`Petitioner has reviewed the claim charts in the Petition (Paper No. 1) and is
`
`unable to identify any improper argument. Petitioner has contacted the Board by
`
`telephone several times since receiving the Notice to request clarification on where
`
`the alleged improper argument is located in the Petition, but thus far Petitioner has
`
`been unable to obtain such clarification from the Board. Accordingly, Petitioner
`
`respectfully reiterates its requests that the Board provide clarification on the
`
`location of the alleged improper argument so that Petitioner may be afforded a fair
`
`opportunity to comply with the Notice.
`
`Petitioner believes that no fee is due in connection with this paper. The
`
`Commissioner is hereby authorized to charge any fee which may be required in
`
`53969876.1
