`
`PETITIONER’S UPDATED MANDATORY NOTICES
`(37 C.F.R. § 42.8)
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Petitioner US Endodontics, LLC (“Petitioner”) hereby submits these updated
`
`mandatory notices relating to this Inter Partes Review, pursuant to 37 C.F.R.
`
`§ 42.8, to identify additional related matters. The updated mandatory notices are
`
`set forth below.
`
`A. Real Parties-in-Interest
`
`Petitioner US Endodontics, LLC; Petitioner’s two owners, Charles Goodis
`
`(“Dr. Goodis”) and Bobby Bennett; and Edge Endo, LLC and Guidance Endodon-
`
`tics, LLC, both owned by Dr. Goodis, are the real parties-in-interest.
`
`B. Related Matters
`
`U.S. Patent No. 8,727,773 (the “’773 patent”) is currently being asserted
`
`against Petitioner by licensee Dentsply International, Inc. (“Dentsply”) and its
`
`wholly owned subsidiary Tulsa Dental Products LLC (d/b/a Tulsa Dental Special-
`
`ties) in pending litigation filed on June 24, 2014 in the U.S. District Court for the
`
`Eastern District of Tennessee, No. 14-CIV-196 (JRG). Patent Owner has also filed
`
`four patent applications that claim priority to the ’773 patent and so may be affect-
`
`ed by a decision in this proceeding: 14/522,013 (filed October 23, 2014 and dis-
`
`closed in Patent Owner’s mandatory notices); and 14/722,309, 14/722,390, and
`
`14/722, 840 (all filed May 27, 2015). The ’773 patent is also the subject of another
`
`petition for inter partes review filed by Petitioner, IPR2015-01476, which chal-
`
`lenges claims 1, 4, 5, 8-10, and 12. That petition is pending.
`
`
`
`- 1 -
`
`
`
`
`
`U.S. Patent No. 8,876,991, which claims priority to the ’773 patent, is the
`
`subject of a petition for post-grant review filed by Petitioner, PGR2015-00019,
`
`which challenges claims 12-16 of that patent. That petition is pending.
`
`Petitioner is not aware of any other pending administrative matter that would
`
`affect, or be affected by, a decision in this proceeding.
