`
`BEFORE THE PATENT TRIAL AND APPEAL BOARD
`____________
`
`ALLSTEEL INC.,
`Petitioner,
`
`v.
`
`DIRTT ENVIRONMENTAL SOLUTIONS LTD.,
`Patent Owner.
`____________
`
`Case IPR2015-01691
`Patent 8,024,901 B2
`____________
`
`
`Before SALLY C. MEDLEY, SCOTT A. DANIELS, and
`JACQUELINE T. HARLOW, Administrative Patent Judges.
`
`MEDLEY, Administrative Patent Judge.
`
`
`
`ORDER
`Conduct of the Proceeding
`37 C.F.R. § 42.5
`
`
`On September 17, 2018, we authorized the parties to file supplemental
`
`briefs for newly instituted claims 8, 11, 13, and 21–23. Paper 47 (“Order”).
`
`We set forth the details of the further briefing, along with due dates. Id.
`
`Petitioner filed its supplemental brief, along with a supplemental declaration
`
`of its expert. Paper 48; Ex. 1038.
`
`On October 29, 2018, Patent Owner emailed the Board seeking
`
`authorization to file a motion to strike certain portions of Petitioner’s
`
`
`
`
`
`
`IPR2015-01691
`Patent 8,024,901 B2
`
`
`supplemental brief and supplemental expert declaration, because Petitioner
`
`
`
`allegedly failed to comply with our Order. Ex. 3003. Patent Owner’s
`
`request to file a motion to strike is denied.
`
`Patent Owner’s supplemental brief is due November 29, 2818. Paper
`
`47. Patent Owner has an opportunity to present any arguments regarding the
`
`alleged impropriety of Petitioner’s supplemental brief and supporting
`
`evidence in Patent Owner’s supplemental brief. We determine that having a
`
`separate motion, and all that that entails (e.g., an opposition and reply),
`
`would not further the goal of securing the just, speedy, and inexpensive
`
`resolution of this proceeding. 37 C.F.R. § 41.1(b).
`
`It is:
`
`ORDERED that Patent Owner’s request to file a motion to strike is
`
`denied.
