`
`Case Nos. IPR2023-00480 and IPR2023-00481
`U.S. Patent Nos. 7,713,947 and 8,377,903
`
`Dear Honorable Board:
`
`Patent Owner writes to respectfully request the expungement and substitution of Ex. 2050
`in IPR2023-00480 and IPR2050-00481. Patent Owner has conferred with Petitioner, and it
`does not oppose this request.
`
`It recently came to Patent Owner’s attention that Ex. 2050 was inadvertently filed, under
`seal, with three paragraphs of unredacted privileged information from a third-party that is
`subject to a common-interest with Patent Owner. Patent Owner seeks to replace Ex. 2050
`with a substitute exhibit, which redacts the privileged information. The privileged material is
`not relevant to the issues in these proceedings. If the Board authorizes this expungement
`and substitution, we propose to file a substitute exhibit under seal having the three
`paragraphs redacted.
`
`Patent Owner respectfully asks that the Honorable Board grant this request. Should the
`Honorable Board desire further information, Patent Owner seeks permission to submit a
`two-page motion further explaining the reasons for this request along with a copy of the
`proposed redacted exhibit, and/or discuss in a teleconference at the Board’s convenience.
`
`Respectfully submitted,
`
`Asher S. McGuffin
`Back-up Counsel for Patent Owner
`Registration No. 81,206
