`
`Counsel: Petitioner is required to meet and confer with Patent Owner regarding Petitioner’s asserted filing
`date issue. The parties shall respond to the Board in a joint email indicating whether Patent Owner opposes
`Petitioner’s request to adjust the filing date accorded. If agreement is not reached, the parties should include
`in the email times that they are available for a conference call to be held this week. The parties are reminded
`that substantive communications with the Board should include all parties to the proceeding.

`
`Dear Trials:
`
`Petitioner Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. filed three petitions tonight, assigned case numbers IPR2016‐00280;
`IPR2016‐00281; and IPR2016‐00282. During the course of the filing, Petitioner encountered several serious
`PRPS technical errors, primarily involving file uploading and the credit card payment system. PRPS crashed
`several times and would not accept payments. Petitioner attempted, for example, to submit credit card
`payments (using several different credit cards) through two separate PRPS accounts (for Eleanor Yost and
`Elizabeth Holland), which were all declined. Petitioner ultimately was able to pay using a credit card, but the
`technical issues delayed the overall submission of Petitioner’s documentation package in each case. The case
`documents were loaded onto PRPS during the payment difficulties and served on patent owner. Petitioner
`respectfully requests that the petitions be accorded a 12/3 filing date. Petitioner will be happy to arrange for
`a teleconference at the Board’s convenience to discuss the matter further.
`
`Respectfully,
`
