`RE: IPR2020-00320 - request for supplemental brief to address Apple v. Fintiv precedential opinion
`Thursday, May 14, 2020 3:46:08 PM
`
`Counsel:
`
` A
`
` call is not necessary at this time. Patent Owner’s request for supplemental briefing to address Apple
`Inc. v. Fintiv, Inc., IPR2020-00019, Paper 11 (March 20, 2020) (precedential) is denied. Although that
`order was recently designated as precedential, it applies the Board’s discretion under 35 U.S.C. § 314(a)
`and NHK Spring Co. v. Intri-Plex Techs., Inc., IPR2018-00752, Paper 8 (Sept. 12, 2018), which was
`designated as precedential a year ago. Patent Owner’s preliminary response in this case does not ask the
`Board to exercise its discretion under § 314(a) or apply NHK Spring. Under these circumstances, we
`determine there is not good cause to allow the requested supplemental briefing.

`Subject: IPR2020-00320 - request for supplemental brief to address Apple v. Fintiv precedential
`opinion
`
`Dear Honorable Board,
`
`In IPR2020-00320, Patent Owner requests authorization to file a 5-page supplemental brief to
`address discretionary denial under the factors set forth in Apple v. Fintiv, IPR2020-00019,
`Paper 11 (“Fintiv Order”). The Fintiv Order was designated precedential and became binding
`authority on May 5, 2020.
`
`Patent Owner does not oppose Petitioner being allowed a 5-page supplemental brief on the
`same issue.
`
`Patent Owner notified Petitioner of this request on May 8, and Petitioner opposes this request.
`
`Patent Owner is generally available for call with the Board, including on May 12-14.
`Petitioner is available on May 12-14.
`
`Best regards,
`
`
`
`
`
`Neil A. Rubin
