`
`
`
`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.

`
`numbered as Exhibits 1001 through Exhibit 1006. More specifically:

`
`
`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.
