`On May 9, 2022, Patent Owner filed a Preliminary Response.
`Paper 8. Patent Owner asserts that the Petition should be discretionarily

`2020) (precedential). Prelim. Resp. 41–53. Patent Owner also asserts that
`the Petition should be discretionarily denied under 35 U.S.C. § 314(a), as a
`“follow on” petition, by application of the factors set forth in General
`Plastic Indus. Co. v. Canon Kabushiki Kaisha, IPR2016-01357, Paper 19
`at 16 (PTAB Sept. 6, 2017) (precedential as to § II.B.4.i). Id. at 32–41.
`It is
`ORDERED that Petitioner is authorized to file a Preliminary Reply,
`limited to eight pages, to address the discretionary denial arguments of
`Patent Owner under 35 U.S.C. § 314(a), divided into two parts, one
`pertaining to factors under “Fintiv,” and the other pertaining to factors under
`“Genral Plastic,” due within one week of the day of entry of this Order;1 and
`FURTHER ORDERED that Patent Owner is authorized to file a
`Preliminary Sur-Reply, limited to eight pages, also divided into two parts,
`one pertaining to “Fintiv” factors and the other pertaining to “General
`Plastic” factors, due within one week of the filing of Petitioner’s
`Preliminary Reply, which only responds to Petitioner’s Preliminary Reply
`on the issue of discretionary denial under 35 U.S.C. § 314(a), not to advance
`additional arguments not included in the Preliminary Response.
`
`
`
`1 In particular, we would like Petitioner to inform the Board what
