`
`NOTICE OF FILING DATE ACCORDED TO PETITION
`AND
`TIME FOR FILING PATENT OWNER PRELIMINARY RESPONSE
`
`
`The petition for inter partes review in the above proceeding has been
`
`accorded the filing date of June 24, 2013.
`
`
`
`Case IPR2013-00386
`Patent 6,218,930
`
`
`Administrative Patent Judge Justin Arbes has been designated to
`
`manage the proceeding. 37 C.F.R. § 42.5.
`
`A review of the petition identified the following defect(s):
`
` Improper usages of claim charts: Claim charts should be
`presented in a readable format so that a reader (e.g., the
`patent owner or a deciding official) is able to locate the
`claim limitations and the relied-upon portions of the prior
`art quickly. Presenting claim limitations and prior art
`teachings in a single column format creates inefficiency and,
`at times, appears to circumvent the page limit set forth in 37
`C.F.R. § 42.24. Claim limitations should be presented in a
`separate column (e.g., claim limitations in the left column
`and prior art teachings in the right column).
`
` Petitioner failed to label each exhibit with the Petitioner’s
`name and exhibit number affixed to the lower right corner
`of the first page. Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.63(d)
`
`
`
`Petitioner must correct the defect(s) within FIVE BUSINESS DAYS
`
`from this notice. Failure to correct the defect(s) may result in an order to
`
`show cause as to why the Board should institute the trial. No substantive
`
`changes (e.g., new grounds) may be made to the petition.
`
`Patent Owner may file a preliminary response to the petition no later
`
`than two months from the date of this notice. The preliminary response is
`
`limited to setting forth the reasons why the requested review should not be
`
`instituted. Patent Owner may also file an election to waive the preliminary
`
`response to expedite the proceeding. For more information, please consult
`
`the Office Patent Trial Practice Guide, 77 Fed. Reg. 48756 (Aug. 14, 2012),
`
`which is available on the Board Web site at http://www.uspto.gov/PTAB.
