`Conduct of the Proceeding
`37 C.F.R. § 42.5
`

`

`
`
`IPR2018-00067
`Patent 8,577,813 B2
`
`
`Petitioner, Unified Patents, Inc., requested a conference call, seeking
`authorization to file a motion to correct an error in the Petition. On
`February 27, 2018, a conference call was held with counsel for the parties
`and Judges Gerstenblith, Moore, and Melvin.
`During the call, counsel for Petitioner stated that the Petition (Paper 2)
`contains a clerical error in that the discussion of claims 7–10 should have
`been included in ground 2 rather than ground 1. Those claims depend,
`directly or indirectly, from claim 6, which is discussed only in ground 2.
`Paper 2, 30–34, 45–46. Patent Owner objects to Petitioner’s request to file
`an amended Petition, arguing that it made strategic decisions regarding its
`Preliminary Response based on the current structure of the Petition and that
`the correction sought by Petitioner would do more than correct a clerical
`error. Patent Owner also requests leave to supplement its Preliminary
`Response in the event the Board permits Petitioner to correct the Petition.
`As stated during the conference call, we conclude that good cause
`exists to grant Petitioner’s request to file a motion to correct. In addition to
`discussing the basis for the correction sought, the motion and any opposition
`shall address the scope, timing, and page limits of a potential supplemental
`preliminary response to the proposed, amended petition. Also as stated
`during the call, the motion shall include, as an exhibit, a redlined version of
`the proposed, amended petition, showing the changes from the originally
`filed petition. The Board does not authorize a reply.

`
`
`Accordingly, it is hereby
`ORDERED that Petitioner is authorized to file a motion to file a
`corrected petition, limited to seven pages on or before March 2, 2018;
`FURTHER ORDERED that Patent Owner may file an opposition to
`Petitioner’s motion, limited to seven pages on or before March 9, 2018; and
`FURTHER ORDERED that the parties set forth in the motion and
`opposition their respective positions concerning the scope, timing, and page
`limits of a potential supplemental preliminary response to the proposed,
`amended petition.
