`Counsel,
`
`From the Board –
`
`This is in response to an email sent April 8, 2024, by Pe(cid:415)(cid:415)oner in the subject IPR proceedings. Pe(cid:415)(cid:415)oner requests:
`
`“leave to file updated mandatory no(cid:415)ces to reflect a recent change in Pe(cid:415)(cid:415)oners’ real par(cid:415)es‐in‐interest that
`occurred while the par(cid:415)es were awai(cid:415)ng the Director’s decision on Director Review. Specifically, Pe(cid:415)(cid:415)oners
`request replacing Pe(cid:415)(cid:415)oners August Home and ASSA ABLOY Residen(cid:415)al Group with new Pe(cid:415)(cid:415)oner Master Lock
`and adding Fortune Brands Innova(cid:415)ons as an RPI.”
`
`In the April 8 email, Pe(cid:415)(cid:415)oner states “Patent Owner does not oppose Pe(cid:415)(cid:415)oners’ request.” Pe(cid:415)(cid:415)oner’s request to file
`the updated mandatory no(cid:415)ces is approved.
`
`Concerning the (cid:415)ming issues raised for new counsel to file briefs following remand to the Panel, we extend the briefing
`schedule as follows:
`
`
`Pe(cid:415)(cid:415)oner’s Supplemental Brief as authorized in Paper 47 is now due April 22, 2024.
`
`Patent Owners Supplemental Response as authorized in Paper 47 is now due May 16, 2024,
`
`All other requirements for the Supplemental filings remain as stated in Paper 47. A revised Order will be
`issued.
`
`
`If the extended briefing schedule does not resolve Pe(cid:415)(cid:415)oner’s issues, Pe(cid:415)(cid:415)oner shall propose (cid:415)mes when all required
`counsel are available to discuss this ma(cid:425)er in a telephone conference.

`Case Nos. IPR2022‐010006; IPR2022‐01045; and IPR2022‐01089
`U.S. Patent Nos. 9,269,208 and 9,665,705
`
`Honorable Board,
`
`
`Pe(cid:415)(cid:415)oners respec(cid:414)ully request leave to file updated mandatory no(cid:415)ces to reflect a recent change in Pe(cid:415)(cid:415)oners’ real
`par(cid:415)es‐in‐interest that occurred while the par(cid:415)es were awai(cid:415)ng the Director’s decision on Director Review. Specifically,
`Pe(cid:415)(cid:415)oners request replacing Pe(cid:415)(cid:415)oners August Home and ASSA ABLOY Residen(cid:415)al Group with new Pe(cid:415)(cid:415)oner Master
`Lock and adding Fortune Brands Innova(cid:415)ons as an RPI. Patent Owner does not oppose Pe(cid:415)(cid:415)oners’ request.
`
`The Board has set a briefing deadline of April 12 for Pe(cid:415)(cid:415)oners’ brief on remand pursuant to the Director’s Order.
`Pe(cid:415)(cid:415)oners have retained new counsel to handle the remand briefing and are unable to enter powers of a(cid:425)orney and
`updated mandatory no(cid:415)ces no(cid:415)cing their appearance un(cid:415)l the pe(cid:415)(cid:415)oner lis(cid:415)ng is correct (par(cid:415)cularly as August Home
`no longer exists to sign a power of a(cid:425)orney). Given the short (cid:415)me for new counsel to appear in this ma(cid:425)er before the
`briefing deadline, all counsel (no(cid:415)ced and pending) is available for a call at the Board’s convenience to answer any
`ques(cid:415)ons.
`
