`
`ORDER
`Granting Petitioner’s Request for a Ten-Page Extension
`37 C.F.R. §§ 42.5 and 42.24
`
`
`
`1 Because this Order addresses the same issue in the proceedings listed in the
`Appendix, we enter this Order in this case as representative.
`
`
`
`IPR2014-00781
`Patent 7,147,759 B2
`
`
`A conference call was held on April 13, 2015, between respective
`counsel for the parties and Judges Turner, Stephens, Chang, Mitchell, and
`Meyer. During the conference call, Petitioner requested an additional
`ten (10) pages for its Reply to Patent Owner’s Response—a total of
`twenty-five (25) pages for a Reply—consistent with the United States
`Patent and Trademark Office Director Michelle K. Lee’s Posting on
`March 27, 2015 (Ex. 30012, “the Director’s Posting”), for each proceeding
`listed in the Appendix.
`Patent Owner opposed Petitioner’s Request, arguing that no additional
`pages would be necessary, because Petitioner filed multiple Petitions
`challenging each of its patents, the inter partes reviews at issue involve
`overlapping issues, and Petitioner also may file a Response to Observation
`in each proceeding. As noted by Petitioner, however, each inter partes
`review involves different claims, addressing different substantive issues.
`We also observed that Petitioner may file a Response to a Motion for
`Observation, only if Patent Owner files a Motion for Observation, and
`Petitioner’s Response to the Motion for Observation is limited to the issues
`raised in the Motion. Moreover, as indicated in the Director’s Posting,
`fifteen (15) pages for a Reply is not a commensurate number of pages to
`respond to a sixty-page (60) Patent Owner’s Response. Upon consideration
`
`

`Patent 7,147,759 B2
`
`of the facts before us, we are not persuaded by Patent Owner’s argument that
`a ten-page extension is not necessary.
`For the foregoing reasons, we, hereby, exercising our discretion under
`37 C.F.R. § 42.5(b), grant Petitioner’s Request for a ten-page extension,
`consistent with the Director’s Posting.
`Accordingly, it is
`ORDERED that, notwithstanding the page limit set forth in 37 C.F.R.
`§ 42.24(c), the page limit for Petitioner’s Reply to Patent Owner’s Response
`is increased to a total of twenty-five (25) pages, for each proceeding listed in
`the Appendix of this Order. See 37 C.F.R. § 42.5(b).
