`Petitioner Supplemental Response to Paper No. 5
`
`
`This paper is a supplemental 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 5) (the “Notice”). The Notice requests that
`
`Petitioner correct a defect concerning improper usage of claim charts under 37
`
`C.F.R. § 42.6(a)(2)(iii), which relates to alleged improper argument contained in
`
`Petitioner’s claim charts. On April 1, 2015, Petitioner filed a Response to the
`
`Notice (Paper 6) reiterating its request that the Board provide clarification about
`
`the location of the alleged improper argument. Subsequently thereto, Petitioner
`
`received the requested clarification by telephone from the Board.
`
`Accordingly, Petitioner is filing contemporaneously herewith a Corrected
`
`Petition in which spacing and quotation marks have been adjusted to more clearly
`
`identify certain block quotations as such in Petitioner’s claim charts. No new
`
`arguments are presented or removed by these corrections. The substantive bases
`
`for seeking covered business method review remain unchanged.
