`Notice of Response in lieu of Motion

`paper is being filed in each proceeding identified in the heading.

`
`This paper responds to the Board’s Order following the October 6th
`
`conference call where Patent Owner sought authorization to file a motion for a
`
`certificate of correction. The primary request centered on writing claim 28 of the
`
`’702 patent and claim 12 of the ’549 patent as independent claims, which request
`
`the Board did not grant. Paper 8 at 3.
`
`However, the Board did authorize a motion on the secondary issue raised on
`
`the call – correcting the value of “n” from about “103” to about “103” in claim 26
`
`of the ’702 patent and claim 12 of the ’612 patent. Id.
`
`As noted during the call, Petitioner has recognized multiple times that the
`
`value of “n” is “103.” For the ’702 patent, Petitioner refers to the specification’s
`
`VIT-45 formula and includes a footnote to the clause “where n = 103,” stating “[i]t
`
`is assumed that 103 is intended to mean 103.” IPR2015-01490, Petition, p. 5, n. 2.
`
`Petitioner also discusses claim 26 and includes a footnote to the clause “where n =
`
`103,” stating “[p]resumably, ‘103’ is intended to mean ‘103.’” Id., p. 33, n. 12.
`
`Similarly, for the ’612 patent, Petitioner refers to the formula for VIT-45 in
`
`the specification and states “where n = 103 (presumably, 103).” IPR2015-01495,
`
`Petition, p. 5-6. Moreover, Petitioner’s claim chart has claim 12 reciting “where n
`
`is about 103.” Id., p. 54-55.
`
`Petitioner is thus not prejudiced by the Board agreeing that “n” is correctly
`
`about “103.” Patent Owner trusts that the Board will so construe the value of “n”.

`
`In an email responding to Patent Owner’s post-call inquiry, Petitioner did
`
`not consent to the motion. In the interest of a “just, speedy, and inexpensive
`
`resolution” (§ 42.1(b)) and, as a courtesy to the Board, Patent Owner notifies the
`
`Board that it elects not to file a motion requesting a certificate of correction.
