`Your Honors
`
`Petitioner disagrees with Patent Owner's characterization that Mr. Rho admitted his declaration
`contained new arguments. Per prior order of the Board, the parties have already briefed this issue.
` Further, the appropriate vehicle to bring Mr. Rho’s testimony to the Board’s attention is a motion
`for observations, which is due tomorrow. Nevertheless, Petitioner will be prepared to discuss on
`Wednesday's call, should the Board determine additional discussion is warranted.

`
`Your Honors,
`
`In view of Mr. Rho’s admissions last week that his declaration contains new arguments,
`Patent Owner respectfully renews its request for authorization to file a motion to strike
`Petitioners’ new arguments set forth in their Reply and in Mr. Rho’s declaration.
`Alternatively, Patent Owner seeks authorization to file a motion for supplemental briefing in
`order to respond to the new arguments set forth in Petitioners’ Reply and supporting Rho
`declaration.
`
`Patent Owner has conferred with Petitioners regarding this request. Petitioners oppose this
`request at this time. Patent Owner proposes addressing this matter on Wednesday’s call
`with your Honors.
`
`Respectfully submitted,
`
`Jennifer M. Kurcz
`Back-up counsel for Patent Owner
