`
`Dear PTAB,
`
`Petitioner New World Medical, Inc. (“Petitioner”) respectfully requests authorization under 37 C.F.R.
`§42.108(c) to file a reply to Patent Owner MicroSurgical Technology, Inc.’s (“Patent Owner”)
`Preliminary Response in IPR2020-01573.
`
`Petitioner submits that good cause to grant the request exists based on Patent Owner’s assertions
`that the Petition does not name the University of Colorado (“University”) as a real-party-in-interest
`(“RPI”) in this proceeding and that the Board should deny institution on this basis. Good cause also
`exists based on the Board’s recent designation of certain decisions related to the RPI issue as
`precedential and Patent Owner’s characterization of those decisions in the Preliminary Response.
`Petitioner could not have anticipated Patent Owner’s arguments on the RPI issue at least because
`Petitioner and the University are separate entities, Patent Owner filed a complaint for patent
`infringement against Petitioner on the patent at issue in this proceeding but did not name the
`University as a defendant, and there is no potential statutory time bar issue to this proceeding
`regardless of whether the University is an RPI. Petitioner respectfully requests 10 pages for its
`reply.
`
`Counsel for the parties have conferred. Patent Owner does not oppose Petitioner’s request to file a
`reply and Petitioner has agreed to not oppose Patent Owner’s motion for leave to file a surreply in
`the event that Patent Owner chooses to file such a motion. The parties are available from 10:00
`a.m. ET through 4:00 p.m. ET on December 28-30, 2020 if the Board would like a conference call to
`discuss this issue. Thank you.
`
`Best regards,
`Kyle Deighan
