`
`
`Petitioner filed a Motion to Submit Supplemental Information.
`IPR2016-00596 Paper 16 (hereafter, “Mot.” or “the Motion.”). 4 The Motion
`seeks to submit Exhibits 1020–1026, which address the prior art status of
`various exhibits previously submitted. Mot. 1. The Motion asserts that
`“[e]ntry of the proposed supplemental information is appropriate because the
`exhibits are both timely and relevant to a claim for which trial has been
`instituted.” Id. at 9.
`Petitioner filed a Response to Petitioner’s Motion. IPR2016-00596
`Paper 23 (hereafter, “Resp.” or “Response”). In the Response, Patent Owner
`states that it “does not oppose the relief requested in the motion.” Resp. 1.
`Having reviewed Petitioner’s Motion and accompanying evidence,
`Petitioner persuades us that the relief sought in the Motion is warranted.
`Order
`In consideration of the foregoing, it is hereby:
`ORDERED that Petitioner’s Motion to Submit Supplemental
`Information is granted.
`
`
`4 Because the issues are the same for both cases, we discuss and cite only the
`papers for IPR2016-00596.
