A conference call was held was held on Wednesday, August 5, 2015, between John Kim, Ralph Selitto, and Eric Bleich, counsel for Petitioner; Keith Broyles, Pamela Councill, and Jason Cooper, counsel for Patent Owner; and Administrative Patent Judges Green, Mitchell, and Paulraj.
In fact, Petitioner argues, in the Notice of Filing Date Accorded, the Board listed Snoasis as the Patent Owner in the caption.
When we asked what the remedy should be, Petitioner suggested that MiMedx should not be allowed to appear for Patent Owner or file a Preliminary Response.
At this point, Snoasis has not made any appearance in the case, and is thus a third party to the proceeding over which we have no jurisdiction to join it as a real party-in-interest as a Patent Owner.
In that regard, we note that Petitioner stated that there is concurrent district court litigation, where it is exploring any ongoing relationship between MiMedx and Snoasis.
