`Patent 7,104,347 B2
`
`On July 31, 2020, Petitioner filed a Motion to File a Corrected
`Petition pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.104(c). Paper 9 (“Mot.”). Petitioner
`represents that Patent Owner does not oppose the Motion. Mot. 2.
`
`Our rules provide that “[a] motion may be filed that seeks to correct a
`clerical or typographical mistake in the petition. The grant of such a motion
`does not change the filing date of the petition.” 37 C.F.R. § 42.104(c)
`(2019). Petitioner submits that a clerical mistake appears on page 22 of the
`Petition. Mot. 2. In particular, Petitioner points out that an incorrect figure
`appears on that page. Id. The Petition cites to Figure 2 of U.S. Patent
`6,188,945 B1 to Graf which is entered into the record as Exhibit 1020. Pet.
`22. Petitioner states that the clerical error is that the drawing reproduced is
`not from Exhibit 1020 but is from Graf’s UK counterpart application. Mot.
`2. We reviewed Figure 2 from Exhibit 1020 and it is substantially the same
`as the drawing appearing on page 22 of the Petition.
`
`For the foregoing reasons and for good cause shown, we grant
`Petitioner’s Motion to File a Corrected Petition replacing the drawing on
`page 22 of the Petition with the Figure 2 from Exhibit 1020.
`
`
`
`Accordingly, it is:
`
`ORDERED that Petitioner’s Motion to File a Corrected Petition to
`correct a clerical mistake is granted; and
`
`IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Petitioner shall file a Corrected
`Petition in accordance with this Order within 7 days of the entry of this
`Order.
