`
`Case No. IPR2014-00417
`Patent No. 7,579,802
`
`PETITIONERS’ MOTION TO SUBMIT REPLACEMENT EXHIBITS
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Motion to Submit Replacement Exhibits
`Case No. IPR2014-00417
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R § 42.5, Petitioners Brose North America, Inc. and
`
`Brose Fahrzeugteile GmbH & Co. KG, Hallstadt (collectively, “Brose”) hereby
`
`move to replace certain exhibits that were filed with Brose’s Petition for Inter
`
`Partes Review via the Patent Review Processing System. Specifically, Brose seeks
`
`leave to replace BNA/Brose Exhibits 1007, 1008 and 1010 with corrected versions.
`
`Patent Owner UUSI, LLC (“UUSI”) has indicated that it does not oppose this
`
`motion. Authorization to file the motion was granted on October 7, 2014. See
`
`Order Conduct of Proceeding, Paper 25 (Oct. 7, 2014) at 2.
`
`The exhibits at issue are publicly available U.S. Patents:
`
`BNA/Brose Exhibit 1007
`BNA/Brose Exhibit 1008
`BNA/Brose Exhibit 1010
`
`U.S. Pat. No. 4,870,333
`U.S. Pat. No. 4,468,596
`U.S. Pat. No. 6,064,165
`
`
`The originally-filed exhibits were retrieved using Google Patent Search. It is
`
`Brose’s understanding that this resource incorrectly rendered certain Figures within
`
`the patents. Specifically, certain lines, portions of lines and other aspects within
`
`the Figures were omitted when the patents were printed. The portions of the
`
`exhibits that are defective are as follows1:
`
`
`1 Side-by-side comparisons of examples of incomplete Figures in the originally-
`
`filed exhibits and the corresponding complete Figures in Brose’s proposed
`
`replacement exhibits are attached hereto as Appendix A.

`
`Incomplete images of the

`well as Figures 1, 2, 3, 5, 6,
`7, 8, 9, 11, 12 and 13.
`Incomplete images of the
`Figure found on page 1, as
`well as Figures 1 and 2.
`Incomplete images of
`Figures 1A–1C, 2–5, 8–17,
`and 19–22.
`
`The defects were first discovered the afternoon of September 25, 2014,
`
`during preparation for the September 26, 2014 deposition of Brose’s declarant, Dr.
`
`MacCarley. Brose immediately took steps to address the issue, leading to this
`
`motion.
`
`Complete versions of patents that are Exhibits 1007, 1008 and 1010 (i.e.,
`
`versions with complete Figures) were available at the deposition of Dr. MacCarley,
`
`and complete versions of the patents that are Exhibits 1007 and 1008 were marked
`
`as exhibits during the deposition. Complete versions of all three patents also were
`
`relied upon by Dr. MacCarley when conducting his work and preparing his
`
`declaration.
`
`Brose seeks leave to correct the defects in the exhibits by replacing the
`
`exhibits with versions that contain complete Figures. Other than the portions of
`
`the exhibits identified above, the proposed replacement exhibits do not and will not
`
`differ in any way from the corresponding exhibits originally filed.

`
`
`
`Motion to Submit Replacement Exhibits
`Case No. IPR2014-00417
`
`For the foregoing reasons, the Board should permit Brose to submit
`
`replacement exhibits for BNA/Brose Exhibits 1007, 1008 and 1010, and order the
`
`originally-filed exhibits expunged. To avoid confusion and preserve existing
`
`citations in the record, Brose proposes filing the replacement exhibits with the
`
`same exhibit numbers as originally used, titling them, for example “BNA/Brose
`
`Exhibit 1007 (corrected),” “BNA/Brose Exhibit 1008 (corrected),” etc.
