`
`Patent Owner, Alpex Pharma, hereby certifies that in the Corrected
`
`
`
`
`
`Preliminary Response by Patent Owner under 37 C.F.R. §42.107, filed on even
`
`date herewith, there are no changes vis-à-vis the initial Preliminary Response by
`
`Patent Owner (the “Paper”) except: (1) to utilize “14-point font [Times New
`
`Roman]” instead of 12-point font (including adjusting various margins and spacing
`
`as appropriate to accommodate the larger font), and (2) to file the four-page
`
`document “attached to the end of the Paper” more appropriately “as a separate
`
`exhibit”. This Certification is submitted pursuant to the email communication
`
`dated March 1, 2016 received from Eric Hawthorne, Supervisory Paralegal
`
`Specialist, Patent Trial and Appeal Board.
