`Case IPR2013-00489
`Patent 6,738,155
`
`
`Patent Owner, CTP Innovations, LLC (“Patent Owner”), hereby files its
`
`Response to Petitioner’s Notice of Defective Certificate of Service (“Petitioner’s
`
`Notice”) and Corrected Certificate of Service to its Preliminary Response to
`
`Petition.
`
`RESPONSE TO PETITIONER’S NOTICE
`
`Petitioner’s Notice seeks to set a standard for Patent Owner that is higher
`
`than that for Petitioner. This is evidenced by Petitioner’s own failures to comply
`
`with this Board’s service requirements. Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. §42.105, Petitioner
`
`was to serve Patent Owner with the Petition via EXPRESS MAIL or by means at
`
`least as fast and reliable as EXPRESS MAIL. Yet in the certificate of service
`
`included in the Petition, Petitioner states that it served Patent Owner via “First
`
`Class, U.S. Mail” - not EXPRESS MAIL. Likewise, 37 C.F.R. §42.6 required
`
`Petitioner to serve Petitioner’s Notice via EXPRESS MAIL or by means at least as
`
`fast and reliable as EXPRESS MAIL. In the certificate of service included in
`
`Petitioner’s Notice, Petitioner states that it served Patent Owner via “First Class,
`
`U.S. Mail”. A copy of the envelope containing Petitioner’s Notice and showing
`
`First Class postage is attached hereto as Exhibit 1218. Patent Owner’s counsel
`
`received Petitioner’s Notice on December 6, 2013. Out of professional courtesy,
`
`Patent Owner has not complained to or filed a “Notice of Defective Certificate of
`
`Service” (or “Notice of Defective Service”) with the Board.

`

`Case IPR2013-00489
`Patent 6,738,155
`
`
`As indicated in its original certificate of service, Patent Owner electronically
`
`filed its Preliminary Response to Petition (the “Preliminary Response”) with the
`
`Board on Friday, October 4, 2013. Patent Owner has subsequently learned that
`
`due to an inadvertent clerical error, copies of the Preliminary Response may not
`
`have been sent to lead and back-up counsel for Petitioner until October 9, 2013. In
`
`Petitioner’s Notice, Petitioner asserts that its back-up counsel received a copy of
`
`the Preliminary Response via Priority U.S. Mail on October 11, 2013 and its lead
`
`counsel received a copy of the Preliminary Response via U.S. Mail on October 12,
`
`2013. Accordingly, both Petitioner’s lead and back-up counsel received copies of
`
`the Preliminary Response well before the deadline for Patent Owner to file its
`
`Preliminary Response. Petitioner, therefore, has not been prejudiced in any way.
`
`Indeed, Petitioner has not even alleged any prejudice or harm in Petitioner’s
`
`Notice.
`
`To the extent that the Board takes action against Patent Owner based on the
`
`Certificate of Service issue, the Board must also take the same or more serious
`
`action against Petitioner given Petitioner’s failures. Notwithstanding, Patent
`
`Owner respectfully asserts that action against either party is unnecessary at this
`
`time.
