`NOTICE OF FILING DATE ACCORDED TO PETITION
`AND
`TIME FOR FILING PATENT OWNER PRELIMINARY RESPONSE
`
`The petition for inter partes review in the above proceeding has been
`accorded the filing date of September 12, 2014.
`
`
`
`Case IPR2014-01493
`Patent 5,652,084
`
`
`A review of the petition identified the following defect(s):
`Claim charts: Claim charts should only be used to provide an
`element-by-element showing as to how the prior art teaches the limitations
`of a claim (e.g., citations to a prior art reference, quotations from a prior art
`reference). Claim charts may not include arguments, claim construction,
`statements of the law, or detailed explanations as to why a claim limitation is
`taught or rendered obvious by the prior art. A mere citation to an expert
`declaration (e.g., “See Ex. 1015 ¶ 29”) in a claim chart is permissible, but
`anything more than a mere citation is improper.
`Petitioner must correct the defect(s) within FIVE BUSINESS DAYS
`from this notice. Failure to correct the defect(s) may result in an order to
`show cause as to why the Board should institute the trial. No substantive
`changes (e.g., new grounds) may be made to the petition.
`Patent Owner may file a preliminary response to the petition no later
`than three months from the date of this notice. The preliminary response is
`limited to setting forth the reasons why the requested review should not be
`instituted. Patent Owner may also file an election to waive the preliminary
`response to expedite the proceeding. For more information, please consult
`the Office Patent Trial Practice Guide, 77 Fed. Reg. 48756 (Aug. 14, 2012),
`which is available on the Board Web site at http://www.uspto.gov/PTAB.
`Patent Owner is advised of the requirement to submit mandatory
`notice information under 37 C.F.R. § 42.8(a)(2) within 21 days of service of
`the petition.
`The parties are encouraged to use the heading on the first page of this
`Notice for all future filings in the proceeding.
