` ANALYSIS
`
`On April 16, 2018, the Board received an email in which Watson
`
`Laboratories, Inc. (“Petitioner”) requested authorization to file a replacement
`
`Exhibit 1055 in IPR2017-01622 and have the originally-filed Exhibit 1055
`
`expunged from the record. Ex. 3007. In the email Petitioner states: “During
`
`the preparation for the deposition of Dr. McDuff, Petitioner’s counsel
`
`became aware that Dr. McDuff’s declaration was missing some content that
`
`was filed in connection with IPR2017-01621, but not with the otherwise
`
`substantively-identical declaration in IPR2017-01622.” Id. Petitioner
`
`represents that Patent owner does not object to the submission of the
`
`corrected exhibit. Id.
`
`II. ORDER
`
`In consideration of the foregoing, it is hereby ORDERED that
`
`Petitioner is authorized to file a replacement Exhibit 1055 in IPR2017-
`
`01622, wherein such replacement differs from the originally-filed Exhibit
`
`1055 only with respect to the addition of the missing content that was
`
`included in the corresponding exhibit filed in IPR2017-01621. It is further
`
`ORDERED that the version of Exhibit 1055 filed on June 21, 2017 shall be
`
`expunged from the record.
