`
`submit a Patent Owner Response and/or Amendment of the Patent pursuant to 37
`
`C.F.R. §§ 42.120 and 42.121, respectively, should the Board institute an inter
`
`partes review. This election should not be deemed a waiver or admission on the
`
`part of AVS of any material presented in the Petition.
