Respondents note that Order No. 6 (the Adopted Procedural Order) states that the Notice of Prior Art “should be limited to no more than 10 pieces of prior art per patent including combinations” (emphasis added) and Ground Rule 4 does not impose any discrete limit on the number of references.
In order to avoid dispute and by agreement of the parties as reflected in the joint motion filed on June 2, 2023, however, Respondents are amending their NOPA to list a total of 10 pieces of prior art per patent.
