`Patent 7,126,174 B2
`
`
`A conference call in the above proceeding was held on June 5, 2017,
`
`among respective counsel for Petitioner and Patent Owner, and Judges
`
`Arbes, Fitzpatrick, and Chagnon. The call was requested by Patent Owner
`
`to seek authorization to file a corrected version of the declaration of E. Fred
`
`Schubert, Ph.D., submitted by Patent Owner with its Response on March 24,
`
`2017 (Ex. 2012). Patent Owner explained during the call that the proposed
`
`corrections were discussed during Dr. Schubert’s deposition and would
`
`correct four alleged typographical errors in paragraphs 236 (replacing
`
`“Noble” with “Lee”), 275 (removing “(e.g. by CMP)”), 415 (removing “(e.g.
`
`by CMP)”), and 427 (replacing “Noble” with “Noble/Ogawa”). Petitioner
`
`did not oppose Patent Owner’s request. After hearing from the parties, and
`
`given the minor nature of the proposed changes, we determined that Patent
`
`Owner had shown sufficient reason for filing the corrected declaration. See
`
`37 C.F.R. § 42.5(a).
`
`In consideration of the foregoing, it is hereby:
`
`ORDERED that Patent Owner shall file, by June 8, 2017, a corrected
`
`version of Dr. Schubert’s declaration, making only the handwritten changes
`
`discussed during the call, as Exhibit 2012, after which the original version of
`
`Exhibit 2012 will be expunged from the record of this proceeding.
