`
`Dear Sir or Madam:
`
`Patent Owner requests leave to file a Sur-reply in response to the Reply filed by Petitioner on
`November 6, 2017. This request is being made within four (4) business days of the Reply. The Reply
`introduces new evidence for the first time including declaration testimony of Lowell Malo and
`selected, incomplete portions of a document entitled the Federal Railroad Administration (“FRA”)
`proposed rules that purports to sets forth proposed standards for certain railcars under FRA
`jurisdiction. See Supplemental Expert Declaration of Lowell Malo, Paper 40, Ex. 1025, Paper 40,
`Ex. 1025, Appendix A, both of which are essential to the arguments Petitioner makes in its Reply. In
`the interest of justice, and consistent with U.S. Supreme Court, Federal Circuit and PTAB precedent,
`the Board should allow Patent Owner to address these new arguments and evidence and to submit
`its own rebuttal evidence.
`
`Accordingly, Patent Owner requests permission to file the Motion for Leave to file a Sur-reply to
`address these issues in detail.
`
`Thank you,
`Jennifer Meredith*
