`Re:
`
`Case IPR2015-01551
`
`
`Dear Ms. Reitter:
`Pursuant to the Notice Of Filing Date Accorded To Petition And Time For Filing Patent
`Owner Preliminary Response mailed July 17, 2015, the above-identified petition for inter partes
`review was accorded the filing date of July 3, 2015. However, a review of the petition identified a
`defect in that the claims chart allegedly contains arguments on page 57.
`Petitioner appreciates being accorded the July 3, 2015 filing date and both the identification
`of the defect and an explanation of how it can be addressed. Accordingly, the phrases "Optional
`ingredients are not limitations. But if a limitation:" and "Not a limitation. But if a limitation:" on
`page 57 of the claim chart have been deleted in their entireties. Other than this deletion, Petitioner
`has changed the title to reflect a "corrected" petition, changed the caption to match that provided in
`the Notice, updated the certificate of service, and amended the header to include the IPR number
`and corrected title. No other changes have been made to the petition and no new matter was
`introduced. The corrected petition is also being re-served on the parties identified in the certificate
`of service.
`The notice, mailed July 17, 2015, set a five business day time period for correction of the
`defect and therefore the filing of this corrected petition should be considered in compliance
`therewith. Should you or the Board have any further questions in connection with this matter,
`please do not hesitate to contact lead counsel, William L. Mentlik or me.
`Sincerely yours,
`LERNER, DAVID, LITTENBERG,
` KRUMHOLZ & MENTLIK, LLP
