`
`
`On April 22, 2016, a telephone conference was held. The participants
`were respective counsel for the parties and Judges Lee and Bui. Counsel for
`Patent Owner explained that Patent Owner inadvertently omitted the word
`“not” in five instances in the Patent Owner Response such that a literal
`reading of those sentences conveys the opposite of what was intended, and
`that when the representations are read, in context, readers would readily
`recognize the inadvertent omission. Counsel for Patent Owner asked the
`Board what it should do.
`We suggested and authorized Patent Owner to prepare and file a
`document that specifically identifies the five instances where it desires the
`text to be read as though the word “not” is present, indicate that the Patent
`Owner response should be read as though the word “not” is present in those
`five instances, and indicate whether Petitioner agrees with that proposal,
