`
`PETITIONERS’ RESUBMISSION OF EXHIBIT 1025
`37 C.F.R. §§ 42.6, 42.63
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. §§ 42.6, 42.63, McClinton Energy Group LLC, Jaycar
`
`Energy Group LLC, Surf Frac Wellhead Equipment Co., Motor Mills Snubbing

`
`
`
`

`

`Case IPR2014-00993
`Patent No. 8,459,346
`
`Petition (Trial No. 2014-00993) as being submitted on June 19, 2014. Exhibit
`
`1025 is a CD containing a video of a Baker Hughes frac plug that was listed on the
`
`Exhibit List submitted with Petitioners’ petition. Petitioners could not submit this
`
`exhibit
`
`through
`
`the PRPS system because
`
`it
`
`is
`
`larger
`
`than 25 MB.
`
`http://www.uspto.gov/ip/boards/bpai/prps.jsp
`
`(PRPS
`
`filing
`
`instructions).
`
`Petitioners’ petition and other exhibits were transmitted to the Board on June 19,
`
`2014 via the PRPS system. Petitioners also served a copy of Exhibit 1025 on the
`
`Patent Owner’s correspondence address (along with the remainder of the Petition)
`
`on June 19, 2014.
`
`On June 19, 2014, Petitioners submitted the Baker Hughes video on a
`
`physical CD and filed a motion asking the Board to accord a June 19, 2014 filing
`
`date to the submission. Paper No. 3. On June 30, 2014, the Board denied this
`
`motion because Exhibit 1025 was not in the proper MPEG video format. Paper
`
`No. 4. The order denying the filing date to Exhibit 1025 stated that it was “without
`
`prejudice to resubmission of the exhibit in a compliant video format.” Id.
`
`Based on the instructions in the Board’s June 30, 2014 order, Petitioners
`
`have prepared a version of Exhibit 1025 containing a converted version of the
`
`Baker Hughes video in a compliant MPEG format (as a .mpg file). See Id. (“Only
`
`PDF and MPEG format files (MPEG, MPG, MP1, MP2, MP3, M1A, M2A, M1V,
`
`MPA, MPV) may be uploaded in PRPS.”). As a precaution, Petitioners have also
`
`2
`
`

`

`Case IPR2014-00993
`Patent No. 8,459,346
`
`provided for reference the video in other standard video formats including the .rm
`
`format, the .wmv format, and the .m4v format. Together with the electronic
`
`submission of this Motion, Petitioners are accordingly resubmitting an updated CD
`
`of Exhibit 1025 in MPEG format via Express Mail. Petitioners request that the
`
`Board accept resubmitted Exhibit 1025 and grant its Motion to Accord a filing date
`
`of June 19, 2014.
