`
`
`
`Petitioner Facebook, Inc. (“Facebook”) files the following Motion to Correct
`
`Clerical Errors pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 104(c) to correct Facebook’s Petition for
`
`Inter Partes Review of U.S. Patent No. 7,010,536 (“Petition”) to correct errors in
`
`the numbering of certain exhibits to the Petition to conform with the exhibit
`
`numbering guidelines provided in 37 C.F.R. § 42.63(c). This Motion proposes no
`
`substantive changes to the Petition.
`
`
`
`No fee is believed to be required for consideration of this motion. Should
`
`this be incorrect, the Patent Office is authorized to charge Deposit Account 50-
`
`1283 for the necessary fee(s).
`
`
`37 C.F.R. § 42.104(c) states:
`
`Applicable Rule(s)
`
`A motion may be filed that seeks to correct a clerical or typographical
`
`mistake in the petition. The grant of such a motion does not change
`
`the filing date of the petition.
`
`37 C.F.R. § 42.63(c) states:
`
`Each party’s exhibits must be uniquely numbered sequentially in a
`
`range the Board specifies. For the petitioner, the range is 1001–1999,
`
`and for the patent owner, the range is 2001–2999.

`
`
`Facts Relevant to this Motion
`
`
`
`1.
`
`On October 23, 2013, Facebook filed its Petition. The Petition
`
`included exhibits numbered 1101-1105, rather than the exhibit ranges (i.e. 1001-
`
`1005) provided in 37 C.F.R. § 42.63(c).
`
`
`
`2.
`
`On October 30, 2013, the PTO afforded the Petition a filing date of
`
`October 23, 2013.
`
`
`
`3.
`
`Facebook is attaching, herewith, copies of the same exhibits properly
`
`numbered as Exhibits 1001 through Exhibit 1006. More specifically:
`
`
`
`
`
`a.
`
`Attached as Exhibit 1001 is a true and correct copy of U.S.
`
`Patent No. 7,010,536, including Certificate of Correction, which was originally
`
`filed as Exhibit 1101 to the Petition.
`
`
`
`
`
`b.
`
`Attached as Exhibit 1002 is a true and correct copy of U.S.
`
`Patent No. 6,016,478, which was originally filed as Exhibit 1102 to the Petition.
`
`
`
`
`
`c.
`
`Attached as Exhibit 1003 is a true and correct copy of U.S.
`
`Patent No. 5,737,416, which was originally filed as Exhibit 1103 to the Petition.
`
`
`
`
`
`d.
`
`Attached as Exhibit 1004 is a true and correct copy of U.S.
`
`Patent No. 6,073,090, which was originally filed as Exhibit 1104 to the Petition.
`
`
`
`
`
`e.
`
`Attached as Exhibit 1005 is a true and correct copy of U.S.
`
`Patent No. 6,496,793, which was originally filed as Exhibit 1105 to the Petition.

`309101-2070
`
`
`
`
`
`f.
`
`Attached as Exhibit 1006 is a Corrected Petition for Inter
`
`Partes Review of U.S. Patent No. 7,010,536. Exhibit 1006 corrects certain
`
`references to exhibits in the Petition to conform to 37 C.F.R. § 42.63(c). Exhibit
`
`1006 is otherwise identical to Paper 1.
`
`Relief Requested
`
`
`
`By this motion, Facebook requests that the Petition be corrected as follows:
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Facebook asks that the Petition (Paper 1) be replaced with Exhibit
`
`1006 attached hereto.
`
`Facebook asks that Exhibit 1101, filed with the Petition, be replaced
`
`with Exhibit 1001 attached hereto.

`
`
`Discussion
`
`
`
`37 C.F.R. § 42.63(c) requires that exhibits to a petition for inter partes
`
`review begin at 1001. The Petition, however, begins its numbering at 1101 and
`
`cites them as such. (See, e.g., Paper 1 at p. iii (listing exhibits 1101-1103, 1004,
`
`1105), and p. 11 (referring to “‘Zhang,’ Ex. 1102” (emphasis added)).) These
`
`errors are purely clerical and were discovered upon reviewing the “Notice of Filing
`
`Date Accorded to Petition and Time for Filing Patent Owner Preliminary
`
`Response,” which reminded the parties to number exhibits sequentially in the
`
`appropriate range. (Paper 4 at 2.) Facebook filed this motion without delay once
`
`the exhibit numbering errors were discovered.
`
`Accordingly, Facebook respectfully requests that this motion be granted.
