`
`
`REPLY IN SUPPORT OF PETITIONER’S MOTION FOR JOINDER
`AND/OR CONSOLIDATION WITH CASE NO. IPR2016-00981
`

`

`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Case IPR2016-01349
`Patent 8,218,481 B2
`
`
`
`Petitioner’s
`
`joinder/consolidation motion (Paper 8)
`
`is now unopposed.
`
`Specifically, after filing its opposition (Paper 9), Patent Owner represented that if the
`
`Board institutes an IPR in this proceeding then Patent Owner would not oppose
`
`joinder/consolidation with the instituted proceeding in IPR2016-00981. (Paper 10 at 2-
`
`3; 12/29/16 C. McMahon E-Mail to Board.) Today the Board instituted an IPR in the
`
`present proceeding (Paper 11). Therefore, the Board should join or consolidate the
`
`present proceeding with IPR2016-00981.
