`
`Dear PTAB:

`
`IP Bridge Exhibit 2080
`TSMC v. IP Bridge
`IPR2016-01246
`
`
`
`During the oral hearing in IPR2016-01246 on Monday, August 7, 2017, Judge Arbes asked Patent Owner's counsel if he
`knew of a case in the semiconductor field that supports the proposition that it is necessary for Petitioner to demonstrate
`the process of manufacturing the proposed combination in order to properly support an obviousness invalidity
`argument. The parties do not have a transcript to get the exact wording, but this accords generally with their
`recollection. Patent Owner did not have a case citation at the time, but requests authorization to file as an exhibit a
`recent PTAB Final Written Decision that Patent Owner believes is responsive to the question. A copy of the citation has
`now been provided to Petitioner Counsel.
`
`Counsel for the parties have met and conferred about this issue, and Petitioner’s counsel opposes the request on
`procedural grounds and because Patent Owner is treating a citation as if it were evidence. If, however, the Board allows
`the filing, Petitioner asks the Board to allow TSMC to submit a half page paper to address the case. Patent Owner’s
`counsel objects to Petitioner’s request.
`
`Counsel for the parties are generally available on the afternoons of 8/11 and 8/14 for a call, should one be needed.
`
`Thank you,
`Neil F. Greenblum
`Counsel for Patent Owner
