` ____________________________________________
`
`PATENT OWNER’S UPDATED MANDATORY NOTICES
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.8(a)(2), Patent Owner Biogen MA Inc. provides
`
`U.S. Patent No. 8,399,514
`Case: IPR2015-01993
`
`the following updated mandatory notices.
`
`Although there has been no change to the identity of related proceedings
`
`previously provided in section II, Patent Owner has updated the status of related
`
`IPR2015-01136 to reflect that the Board denied Petitioner’s request for rehearing.
`
`In addition, sections III and IV have been updated to reflect the appearance
`
`of Erin M. Sommers as back-up counsel for Patent Owner on March 28, 2016.
`
`I.
`
`Real Party-in-Interest - 37 C.F.R. § 42.8(b)(1)
`
`The real party-in-interest is Biogen MA Inc., the owner of U.S. Patent No.
`
`8,399,514. A corporate name change document was recorded in the U.S. Patent
`
`and Trademark Office on April 27, 2015 (reel 35507/frame 541) and May 4, 2015
`
`(reel 35571/frame 926). Those documents changed the corporate name from
`
`Biogen Idec MA Inc. to Biogen MA Inc. The original assignment to Biogen Idec
`
`MA Inc. of U.S. patent application No. 13/372,426 that led to U.S. Patent No.
`
`8,399,514 was recorded in the Office on May 3, 2012, at reel 28146, frame 980.
`
`II. Related Matters – 37 C.F.R. § 42.8(b)(2)
`Interference No. 106,023 (McK), involving U.S. Patent No. 8,399,514, was
`
`declared between Biogen MA Inc. and Forward Pharma A/S on April 13, 2015.
`
`
`
`IPR2015-01136 involving the same ’514 patent was filed by the same
`
`Petitioner as the instant petition. The Board denied institution of an IPR in that
`
`
`
`2
`
`
`
`
`
`
`proceeding on September 2, 2015, and Petitioner filed a request for rehearing on
`
`U.S. Patent No. 8,399,514
`Case: IPR2015-01993
`
`October 2, 2015. The Board denied Petitioner’s request for a rehearing on October
`
`23, 2015.
`
`U.S. Application Nos. 13/767,014 (abandoned), 13/804,283 (pending), and
`
`14/718,962 (pending) claim benefit of priority to the application that issued as U.S.
`
`Patent No. 8,399,514. Patent Owner is not aware of any other related matters that
`
`would affect or be affected by this proceeding.
`
`III. Lead and Back-Up Counsel – 37 C.F.R. § 42.8(b)(3)
`Further to the submission of the notice of appearance of Erin M. Sommers as
