`
`Dear PTAB Trials and Honorable Board,
`
`Patent Owner opposes Petitioner’s request on two grounds. First, Petitioner’s request is untimely as
`it comes after all substantive deadlines have passed and over a month after Petitioner discovered, or
`at least should have discovered, the discrepancy in Exhibit 1032. Second, Petitioner’s request
`represents a selective supplement to the record of this proceeding.
`
`As to the first point, Petitioner served, but did not file, Exhibit 1047 in response to Patent Owner’s
`objections to Exhibit 1032 on July 22, 2021. (Paper 33, p. 5). Exhibit 1047 is similar, in content, to
`Petitioner’s proposed corrected Exhibit 1032. Cognizant of the Board’s instruction that emails to the
`Board should not include attachments absent authorization, Patent Owner is not attaching any un-
`filed exhibits to this email. (Paper 13, p. 2). Patent Owner will do so if authorized.
`
`Petitioner’s counsel represented via declaration testimony (served but not filed) accompanying
`Exhibit 1047 that “Exhibit 1032 is identical to Exhibit 1047, except the cover page” in spite of obvious
`differences therebetween. (Ex. 1048, ¶16). Thus, Petitioner should have discovered any
`discrepancy in Exhibit 1032 by at least July 22, 2021, when it served Exhibits 1047 and 1048.
`Nevertheless, Petitioner declined seek correction of Exhibit 1032 at that time or within any
`
`IPR2020-01026
`
`1
`
`Ex. 3002
`
`
`
`reasonable amount of time thereafter.
`
`As to the second point, Exhibit 1027 was filed without numerous images as explained in Patent
`Owner’s Motion to Exclude Evidence. (Paper 38, p. 9). Petitioner previously served, but did not file,
`Exhibit 1046, which was another version of Exhibit 1027 including the omitted images. Again,
`Petitioner’s counsel represented via declaration testimony that “Exhibit 1027 is identical to Exhibit
`1046, except the cover page” in spite of at least the inclusion of the images. (Ex. 1048, ¶6). Notably,
`Petitioner makes no similar effort to file a corrected version of Exhibit 1027.
`
`For these reasons, Patent Owner respectfully requests that Petitioner’s request be denied.
`
`Best Regards,
`Kyle Kellar

`
`Walmart Inc. v. Caravan Canopy Int’l, Inc.
`Case IPR2020-01026
`Patent No. 5,944,040
`
`Dear Board,
`
`Petitioner respectfully requests authorization to file a corrected Exhibit 1032 in the above-
`referenced case. Exhibit 1032 a capture of the website https://www.roofcorp.com/roof-
`systems/steep-slope/, which is linked in Petitioner’s Exhibit List. Petitioner discovered that the
`original exhibit, for unknown technical reasons, did not capture the complete text of the website as
`it appears at the URL. The attached corrected Exhibit 1032 accurately reflects the content of the URL
`linked in Petitioner’s Reply.
`
`Petitioner has conferred with counsel for Patent Owner, and Patent Owner opposes this request.
`
`If the Board determines that a conference call is required, the parties will confer to identify
`mutually-acceptable dates/times.
`
`Best regards,
`
`David Reed
`Counsel for Petitioner
