`RE: IPR2019-00819, -00820: Request for Motion to Strike, or in the alternative a sur-
`sur-reply
`
`Follow up
`Flagged
`
`Patent Owner objects to Petitioner’s request because it is (1) untimely and (2) insufficient. 
`
`Petitioner’s request is untimely because it was made more than one week after the allegedly improper sur‐
`replies.  Under the Consolidated Trial Guide (CTG), motions to strike or seek supplemental briefing “should be requested 
`within one week of the allegedly improper submission.” CTG, 81. The sur‐replies were filed and served by Patent Owner 
`more than one week ago, on May 12, 2020. IPR2019‐00819, Paper 29 (Sur‐Reply filed May 12, 2020);  IPR2019‐00820, 
`Paper 29 (Sur‐Reply filed May 12, 2020).  The request provides no reason to excuse its tardiness. 
`
`Petitioner’s request is insufficient because it does not assert there is any reason to depart from the normal rule against 
`such requests. See CTG, 80‐81 (Motion practice is normally unnecessary because the Board is capable of identifying 
`alleged new issues and giving them appropriate weight).

`Your Honors, 
`
`Petitioner requests permission to file a Motion to Strike Patent Owner’s sur‐reply, or in the alternative requests 
`permission to file a 5‐page sur‐sur‐reply because it believes that the recent sur‐replies filed by Patent Owner in IPR2019‐
`00819 and IPR2019‐00820 exceed the scope permitted by the rules. Petitioner requests any briefing be due 5 business 
`days after a Board order authorizing such briefing.  
`
`Counsel for MPH and Apple have met and conferred, and Counsel for MPH disagrees with Apple’s position. Both parties 
`are generally available for a conference call on Tuesday May 26 and Wednesday May 27th.  
`
`Thank you,
