`
`
`In an email communication to the Board on January 19, 2016, and
`again on February 4, 2016, Petitioner requested that certain exhibits filed on
`December 22, 2015, be expunged. Patent Owner also requested that the date
`for filing its Patent Owner Preliminary Response be extended to April 22,
`2016, which is three months after the date Petitioner filed its corrected
`Petition (Paper 6). Both parties’ requests are unopposed.
`The Board responded on February 17, 2016, via email communication
`that Petitioner’s unopposed request to expunge the originally filed exhibits is
`granted and that Patent Owner’s request to extend the deadline of the
`Preliminary Response is granted.
`Accordingly, it is
`ORDERED that Exhibits 1001–1053, filed December 22, 2015, be
`expunged; and
`FURTHER ORDERED that the deadline for filing the Patent Owner
`Preliminary Response is extended to April 22, 2016.
