`Subject: IPR2015‐01691 [WNDMS‐DMS1.FID1642524]
`
`Dear Board,
`
`I represent the Patent Owner in IPR2015‐01691. On September 17, 2018, the Board issued an order (Paper 47)
`authorizing, inter alia, Petitioner to file a brief and supporting expert declaration to address claims that were initially not
`instituted for trial, but were recently instituted on remand from the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit based on
`SAS Institute Inc. v. Iancu, 138 S. Ct. 1348, 1354 (2018) (see Paper 46 at 2). In authorizing Petitioner to file a brief and
`supporting declaration on the newly instituted claims, the Board admonished that “Petitioner may not submit new
`evidence, issues, or argument that it could have presented earlier, e.g. to make out a prima facie case of
`unpatentability.” (Paper 47, p. 8.) On October 19, 2018, Petitioner filed Petitioner’s Supplemental Brief Addressing Newly
`Instituted Claims 8, 11, 13 and 21‐23 ( “Supplemental Brief”) and the Supplemental Declaration of Joseph J. Beaman Jr.
`(“Supplemental Beaman Declaration”). (Paper 48 and Exh. 1038.) Contrary to the Board’s instructions, the Supplemental
`Brief and Supplemental Beaman Declaration contain new argument and evidence to make out a prima facie case of
`unpatentability that could have been presented earlier in connection with the original Petition. Thus, Patent Owner
`seeks authorization from the Board to file a motion to strike the improper portions of the Supplement Brief and to
`exclude the improper portions of the Supplemental Beaman Declaration.
`
`Counsel for Patent Owner are generally available Monday through Wednesday this week to hold a conference call with
`the Board should it like to discuss this issue.
`
`Yours truly,
`Chad Nydegger
