`ORDER
`Authorizing Motion to Accord New Filing Date
`37 C.F.R. § 42.20 and 42.22(d)
`
`
`
`In emails dated January 9 and 28, 2016, counsel for Petitioner sought
`a teleconference with the Board to request leave to file a motion to change
`the filing date accorded the Petition in this case from December 3, 2015, to
`December 2, 2015. Although Petitioner contends the Petition and
`accompanying fee were uploaded before midnight on December 2, Petitioner
`alleges “technical issues with uploading certain exhibits” that caused the
`
`
`
`Case IPR2016-00275
`Patent 6,199,077 B1
`
`Petition to be submitted finally in the early morning hours of December 3.
`Petitioner represents Patent Owner has indicated it will oppose any motion
`to change the accorded filing date.
`Given that the complaint in the underlying litigation was served on
`December 2, 2014, see Pet. 1–2, the difference between a December 2, 2015,
`and a December 3, 2015, filing date in this case could prevent us from
`instituting an inter partes review. See 35 U.S.C. § 315(b). Accordingly, we
`authorize Petitioner to file, on or before February 8, 2016, a motion to
`accord a new filing date to IPR2016-00275, which is not to exceed 10 pages
`in length. We authorize Patent Owner to file an opposition to the motion, if
`any, on or before February 16, 2016, also not to exceed 10 pages in length.
`No reply is authorized at this time.
`Counsel for Petitioner is instructed to set forth the following in the
`motion: (1) the circumstances surrounding the electronic filing of the
`petition in IPR2016-00275, including any evidence of technical problems
`with the Board’s website or the Patent Review Processing System (PRPS);
`(2) the steps taken by Petitioner before and after any technical problems
`arose to ensure timely filing of the petition and exhibits; and (3) the
`authority of the Board, if any, to waive the statutorily mandated one year
`time limitation for filing the present case, to the extent such time limitation
`applies. See 35 U.S.C. § 315(b).

`length and is to be filed on or before February 8, 2016;
