`IPR Service
`
`Kyle, Brian, and Jaspal,
`
`
`Fox Rothschild is in receipt of the three IPR Petitions that you sent to our office with respect to the three patents-in-suit
`in the underlying district court litigations. In those IPR Petitions, your client names Select Comfort Corporation as the
`patent owner. Select Comfort Corporation is not the patent owner. As you know, Select Comfort Corporation changed
`its name to Sleep Number Corporation over a year ago (see Am. Compl. fn.1; SN_0000046), Sleep Number Corporation is
`the named plaintiff in the underlying district court actions (see Am. Compl.), and all of the patents-in-suit were assigned
`to Sleep Number Corporation over a year ago (e.g., SN_0000234, 236). Therefore, the IPR Petitions are invalid, cannot
`be treated as filed, and were not properly served on Sleep Number Corporation. This deficiency cannot now be
`corrected.
`
`
`Please let us know if you are available to meet and confer on this issue today (Jan. 10) or Friday (Jan. 11) and to then
`jointly contact the Board requesting a telephone conference to address the issue. If you do not accept this request by
`3pm CST, we will email the Board, copying you, to request a telephone conference with the parties.
