`
`Petitioner’s Objection to Patent Owner Response in Lieu of Motion
`(to Patent Owner Response in Lieu of Motion, Paper 9)
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`1 As required by Paper 8, Petitioner attests that the word-for-word identical paper is
`being filed in each proceeding identified in the heading.
`
`

`
`IPR2015-01490; IPR2015-01493; IPR2015-01495
`
`
`
`The Board gave Patent Owner permission to submit a motion requesting
`
`authorization to file a certificate of correction to change “103” to “103” in claim 26
`
`of US Patent No. 7,754,702, and in claim 12 of US Patent No. 8,895,612 by
`
`October 20, 2015. However, the Patent Owner instead filed a “Response in Lieu of
`
`Motion” (“Response”), electing not to file a motion requesting a certificate of
`
`correction.
`
`Since Patent Owner chose not to file a motion, Patent Owners’ paper
`
`couched as a “Response,” but containing argument, is inappropriate and should not
`
`have been filed. At this particular stage in the proceedings, such arguments are not
`
`permitted. As such, Petitioner respectfully requests that the Board disregard the
`
`arguments made therein. In the event that the Board chooses to consider the
`
`arguments presented in the “Response,” Petitioner disagrees with Patent Owner’s
`
`statement that “Petitioner is thus not prejudiced by the Board agreeing that ‘n’ is
`
`correctly about ‘103’”. Response at 1.
`
`
`
`Moreover, and for clarity’s sake, Petitioner states that in response to Patent
`
`Owners’ inquiry received after the Board granted permission to file a motion,
`
`Petitioner indicated an inability to consent at the present time to a motion to correct
`
`(1) certain claims; and (2) a portion of the specification. This second issue was not
`
`identified to the Board as a basis for the contemplated motion. Petitioner did,

`
`
`
`

`
`IPR2015-01490; IPR2015-01493; IPR2015-01495
`
`however, express a willingness to consider a motion explaining the basis for the
`
`proposed amendments.
