`PETITIONERS’ NOTICE RESPONDING TO NOTICE OF FILING DATE
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`IPR2016-01213
`
`
`
`On June 23, 2016, a Notice of Filing Date Accorded to Petition And Time For
`
`Filing Patent Owner Preliminary Response (“Notice”) was issued. Paper 3. The
`
`Notice identified the following defects:
`
` [1] Insufficient fee payment.
`
` [2] Failure to identify the specific patent claims being challenged.
`
` [3] Failure to identify the statutory grounds on which the challenge to
`
`each claim is based.
`
` [4] Failure to number exhibits properly.
`
` [5] Failure to label exhibits properly.
`
`The Notice allows Petitioner five (5) business days to correct the defects.
`
`Notice at 1-2. The Notice further states that no substantive changes (e.g., new
`
`grounds) may be made to the petition. Id. at 2.
`
`Petitioners are concurrently filing a Corrected Petition with the following
`
`corrections to address the defects identified in the Notice:
`
` In the Introduction, (p.1), the Challenged Claims originally identified
`
`claims 1-3, 6-10, 15, 17-21, 24, 25, 29, 31 and 34. This list of claims has
`
`been corrected to match the claims actually challenged in the body of the
`
`Petition. Accordingly, claims 20 and 29 were removed and claims 23
`
`
`
`-2-
`
`
`
`
`
`IPR2016-01213
`
`and 35 were added. Thus, the correct Challenged Claims are 1-3, 6-10,
`
`15, 17-19, 21, 23-25, 31, 34 and 35.
`
` The same corrections to the identification of Challenged Claims also
`
`were made at Sections IV.A (p.5), VI.C (p.50), and the Conclusion.
`
` The grounds upon which claim 23 are challenged were corrected in
`
`Section IV.B (p.7) to conform to the argument in the Petition.
`
`Petitioners submit that these changes address defects [1]-[3] regarding the
`
`payment of insufficient fees (the fees paid match the number of claims identified as
`
`being presently challenged), identification of the patent claims being challenged, and
`
`the statutory grounds on which the challenge to each claim is based, and that none of
`
`these changes are substantive.
`
`On June 29, 2016, in a telephone conference between Petitioners’ lead
`
`counsel and PTAB paralegal Maria Vignone, Ms. Vignone authorized Petitioners to
`
`use the original exhibit numbering and labeling. As a result, no changes to the
`
`exhibit numbering or labeling were necessary and none were made.
`
`Petitioners also fixed the header lettering in Section IV and removed
`
`paragraph numbering inadvertently inserted on page 44.
`
`Petitioners submit that the above changes address the noticed defects, are not
`
`substantive, and do not result in any additional fees due. However, to the extent any
`
`fees are due, Petitioners authorize payment from Deposit Account No. 10-0440.
