`
`Joel,
`
`It is unclear what additional information you are requesting beyond Petitioner identifying the specific citations
`from each Sur-Reply that contain new arguments that were not raised in Ocean’s PORs and/or responsive to
`arguments raised in Petitioner’s Replies. What is clear is that Ocean is not consenting to Petitioner’s motion to
`strike those portions and that Ocean is declining to even meet and confer to provide your positions unless
`Petitioner, instead of Ocean, provides the responsive citations we requested from Ocean, which we are unable
`to do since we do not believe there are any. The Board cautioned in its August 24, 2022 order in the IPRs that
`under 37 C.F.R. § 42.23(b), a sur-reply “may only respond to arguments raised in the corresponding
`reply.” See also CPTG at 74 (“‘Respond,’ in the context of 37 C.F.R. § 42.23(b), does not mean proceed in a
`new direction with a new approach as compared to the positions taken in a prior filing”).
`
`
`While tomorrow’s deadline is described as “generally,” not “always” applicable, Petitioner would prefer to
`continue to stay within the deadlines and guidelines set forth in the scheduling orders and CTPG. Accordingly,
`we will notify the Board tomorrow morning that Ocean does not consent to our request. If our understanding of
`Ocean’s opposition is incorrect, please let us know.
`
`

`Caution: External Email
`
`Pan,
`

`Applied Materials has offered no information as to why it believes each of the citations below raises new 
`arguments.  Without this information, Ocean is unable to meet and confer with Applied Materials, in good faith, to 
`determine whether there are merits to Applied Materials’ proposed motions. 

`In order for Ocean to provide a position with which Applied Materials may approach the Board, please provide some 
`information for each citation. For example, please explain how Ocean’s quotation to Dr. Shanfield’s declaration at the 
`end of page 1, and Ocean’s discussion directly addressing this quotation, raises a new issue.  As another example, please 
`explain how Ocean’s discussion of Figure 4, which was discussed in the Petition, Patent Owner’s Response, and 
`Petitioner’s Reply, raises a new issue.  Once Applied Materials has provided this information, Ocean will be able to 
`provide its position on each of Applied Materials’ motions.  Until then, Ocean is unable to meet and confer with Applied 
`Materials on this issue, and your request to approach the Board is therefore premature.
`

`Thank you,
`Joel
