`IPR2018-00681 and IPR2018-00682
`
`Petitioner respectfully requests a call with the Board to address the issues identified below relating to IPR2018-
`00681 and IPR2018-00682. Counsel for Petitioner and Patent Owner have met and conferred and counsel for
`both parties are available for the requested call on Thursday, June 21 between 1pm and 5pm EST this week
`and can provide additional dates for a call next week.
`
`IPR2018-00681 – Petitioner requests permission to submit a reply to Patent Owner’s Preliminary Response to
`address the following:
`
`1. Patent Owner incorrectly asserts that Sirius XM was required to identify Sirius XM Holdings and Liberty
`Media as real parties in interest. Sirius XM will explain through case law and company information that
`neither Sirius XM Holdings nor Liberty Media is a real party interest. In addition, Sirius XM will explain that,
`in circumstances such as these, the PTAB routinely grants requests to amend RPI disclosures without
`affecting the filing date accorded to the petition.
`
`2. Patent Owner presents a legally erroneous proposal for the construction of the preamble of the ‘997
`Patent. Sirius XM will explain the correct view of the law to be applied for the construction.
`
` IPR2018-00682 – Petitioner requests permission to submit a reply to Patent Owner’s Preliminary Response to
`address the following:
`
`1. Patent Owner incorrectly asserts that Sirius XM was required to identify Sirius XM Holdings and Liberty
`Media as real parties in interest. Sirius XM will explain through case law and company information that
`neither Sirius XM Holdings nor Liberty Media is a real party interest. In addition, Sirius XM will explain that,
`in circumstances such as these, the PTAB routinely grants requests to amend RPI disclosures without
`affecting the filing date accorded to the petition.
`
`2. Patent Owner presents an erroneous view of Federal Circuit case law relating to applicant’s
`concessions during prosecution. Sirius XM will explain the correct view of Federal Circuit case law
`applicable to applicant’s actions during prosecution.
`
`Patent Owner has indicated that it (1) opposes the requests set forth above, and (2) in the alternative seeks
`leave to submit a sur-reply. Petitioner opposes Patent Owner’s requested sur-reply.
`
`Respectfully,
`
`Jonathan S. Caplan
