`Conduct of the Proceeding
`37 C.F.R. § 42.5

`IPR2023-00724
`Patent 10,335,462 B2
`
`On December 15, 2024, Patent Owner contacted the Board by email,
`requesting an increase to the word count limits for its Patent Owner Response by
`4,000 words, the Petitioner’s Reply by 4,000 words, and Patent Owner’s Sur-reply
`by 2,000 words. Ex. 3003. We granted the request during a conference call held
`on December 19, 2024 between the panel for this proceeding and counsel for the
`parties. We provided an Order commemorating this decision, but inadvertently
`stated that Petitioner’s Reply would be increased by 2,000 words instead of 4,000
`words as agreed by the parties. See Paper 24, 3.
`As we have previously determined, having duly considered the matter, we
`agreed with the parties that the additional word counts for the three briefs are in the
`interests of justice and granted such additional word counts. See 37 C.F.R.
`42.24(a)(2); see Paper 24, 3. This Order corrects the additional word count for
`Petitioner’s Reply to 4,000 words.
`
`ORDER
`
`Accordingly, it is
`ORDERED that the request to increase the word count limit for the Patent
`Owner Response and Petitioner’s Reply by 4,000 words is granted;
`FURTHER ORDERED that the word count limit for Patent Owner’s
`Sur-reply is increased by 2,000 words.
