`Subject: RE: CBM2015-00161, -171, -179, -181, and 182: Request for call with Board to Seek Relief
`Due to Patent Owner's Improper Motion for Additional Discovery
`
`Your Honors,
`
`We note that Petitioners’ email to the Board indicated Patent Owner would request that its filings
`and service will be deemed timely. To be sure that the Board is also considering this issue, which
`may have been overlooked, Patent Owner would like to officially provide its request.
`
`The PTAB’s records will reflect that Patent Owner completed, with the exception of the exhibit list,
`all of the filings for the 182 proceeding (132 patent) before midnight. The filings, including the
`Motions and exhibits, were the same across the proceedings, and the public versions for every
`proceeding were filed before midnight. Service of the confidential documents began on a rolling
`basis shortly after midnight, with a first set of documents at 12:35 AM and a set of the confidential
`exhibits at 12:39 AM. Thus, Petitioners had Patent Owner’s complete argument by 12:39 AM. Filing
`and service continued on a rolling basis, and service of non-confidential documents and the updated
`exhibit lists was completed by 2:30 AM. Before Petitioners sent their email to the Board, Patent
`Owner had offered via email to Petitioners, that we would not oppose a request to the Board for an
`extension for their Response by a day, due to the 2.5 hour delay in receiving all of the documents.
`
`Patent Owner believes it is in the interest of justice to deem its filings and service timely. The filing
`and service were delayed due to the care taken to avoid issues with the District Court Protective
`Order and Default Protective Order, for which negotiations and communications between the
`
`
`
`parties extended into the afternoon on June 15.

`
`Counsel,
`
`The panel has received Petitioner’s request and requires further time to evaluate the appropriate course of
`action. The previous authorization for Petitioner to file oppositions to Patent Owner’s Motions to Amend
`is withdrawn until such time that the Board provides further authorization for such filings.
`
`The panel notes Patent Owner’s request for extensions of time for the Patent Owner Responses in these
`proceedings. No extensions are authorized at this time.

`Subject: CBM2015-00161, -171, -179, -181, and 182: Request for call with Board to Seek Relief Due
`to Patent Owner's Improper Motion for Additional Discovery
`
`Your Honors-
`
`Petitioner respectfully requests a call with the Board to discuss Patent Owner’s motions for
`additional discovery filed in CBM2015-00161, -171, -179, -181, and 182. During the June 13, 2016
`Teleconference in these proceedings, the Board authorized Patent Owner to file a motion for
`additional discovery in each proceeding but also ordered that the motion and any opposition would
`each by limited to 12 pages. (See, e.g., CBM2015-00161, Ex. 2040 at 42 (June 13, 2016
`Teleconference Transcript)). The Board also permitted Patent Owner to attach a “listing” of the
`specific document it seeks. Patent Owner’s motion were due on June 15, 2016.
`
`Petitioner seeks a teleconference with the Board because Patent Owner’s motions exceed the page
`limits set by the Board. In particular, Patent Owner attached to each motion a 9 page, 12 point font,
`
`
`
`single-spaced exhibit (Exhibit 2155) that both lists the documents that Patent Owner seeks and
`describes the purported relevance of these documents. Patent Owner’s motions refers to Exhibit
`2155 as providing the “relevance of each document.” (See, e.g. CBM2015-00161, Paper 52 at 1, n.2)
`Because Petitioner is limited to as 12 page brief in opposition, it will be prejudiced if it must respond
`to all of the arguments set forth in Patent Owner’s 12 page brief and 9 page exhibit containing
`relevance arguments.
`
`Petitioner also seeks a teleconference with the Board because Patent Owner’s motions were neither
`timely filed nor served. In none of the above proceedings, did Patent Owner complete its filings by
`the deadline of June 15. In addition, in the case of CBM2015-00179, -181, and 182, Patent Owner
`did not serve Petitioner’s counsel until 2:22 AM on June 16 (contrary to the certificates of service
`that it filed). Because Petitioner’s responses are due on June 17, Patent Owner’s late service is highly
`prejudicial.
`
`As a remedy for the above, Petitioner will ask the Board to strike Patent Owner’s motions for
`additional discovery.
`
`We have conferred with Patent Owner and they intend to ask the Board to deem their motions as
`timely filed and served.
`
`We are available today between 3-4pm ET for a conference with the Board.
`
`Regards-
`
`Lori A. Gordon
