`
`On March 7, 2019, the Board ordered (Paper 41, 3) Petitioner and
`Patent Owner to meet and confer in an attempt to seek an agreed upon
`resolution (e.g., a motion to file a corrected declaration) with respect to
`Petitioner filing a declaration without a proper oath (Ex. 1045). By e-mail
`dated March 12, 2019, Petitioner notified the Board that “Dr. McCracken
`executed a corrected declaration with a proper oath on February 26, 2019
`(EX.1058), and it was served on Patent Owner that same day. Patent Owner
`marked the corrected declaration of Dr. McCracken at Dr. McCracken’s
`deposition and deposed Dr. McCracken on the corrected declaration.” In
`addition, Petitioner requests authorization to file the corrected declaration of
`Dr. McCracken executed with the proper oath in these cases and attests that
`Patent Owner does not object to this filing.
`Given that Patent Owner does not object, we do not require a motion
`seeking authorization. We further grant Petitioner authorization to file the
`corrected declaration of Dr. McCracken executed with the proper oath.
