`
`NOTICE REGARDING SERVICE
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`

`
`
`
`
`
`In response to the Board’s request for an explanation regarding the address of
`
`service of the petition, Petitioners submit the following statement.
`
`
`
`On June 16, 2015, Petitioners filed the petition and served it, along with the
`
`associated Powers of Attorney and Exhibits on the Patent Owner at the
`
`correspondence address of record listed on Public PAIR:
`
`Charles Marmelstein
`Robert Murray, Jr.
`George Oram, Jr.
`Nikaido Marmelstein Murray & Oram
`655 15th Street, NW, Suite 330
`Metropolitan Square, G Street Lobby
`Washington, DC 20005
`
`
`
`
`
`See Ex. 1012 at ¶ 2 (citing Appendices A and B). Service, however, could not be
`
`completed, as it was returned as “Incorrect Address - Recipient Moved.” Ex. 1012 at
`
`¶ 5 (citing Appendix D); see also id. at ¶ 7 (citing Appendix B).
`
`
`
`On June 17, 2015, Petitioners attempted again to properly serve the Patent
`
`Owner, by forwarding the service documents to Mr. Kevin C. Brown, the attorney
`
`who signed the issue fee transmittal for the ’365 patent, at the following address:
`
`Kevin C. Brown
`Burr & Brown, Attorneys at Law
`101 South Salina Street
`Seventh Floor
`Syracuse, NY 13202
`
`
`Ex. 1012 at ¶ 5 (citing Appendix E). However, Mr. Brown returned service, claiming
`
`that he “left the firm of Nikaido Marmelstein Murray & Oram in 1998, and [does]
`
`

`
`
`
`
`
`not represent Orbital Engine Company PTY., Ltd.” Ex. 1012 at ¶ 6 (citing Appendix
`
`F).
`
`
`
`Additionally, to ensure that the Patent Owner was properly served and received
`
`notice of the pending IPR Petition against the ’365 patent, Petitioner also served
`
`copies of the petition, associated Power of Attorney documents, and Exhibits on
`
`Patent Owner’s litigation counsel on June 16, 2015 at the following address:
`
`Gregory D. Len
`Pepper Hamilton LLP
`19th Floor, High Street Tower
`125 High Street
`Boston, MA 02110-2736
`
`
`Ex. 1012 at ¶ 3 (citing Appendix C).
`
`
`
`Patent Owner, therefore, was properly served, at least by virtue of service
`
`effectuated on Gregory D. Len, litigation counsel for Orbital Australia Pty. Ltd.
`
`Although the Certificate of Service on the Petition for Inter Partes Review itself
`
`listed an incorrect address, this was merely a clerical error. Service was properly
`
`attempted on Patent Owner at the correspondence address of record for the ’365
`
`patent listed on Public Pair. Ex. 1012 at ¶¶ 2, 8.
`
`
`
`
`

`
`
