`
`Petitioner Askeladden LLC (“Askeladden”) filed a Petition requesting
`an inter partes review in each of the above-identified proceedings. Paper 1,2
`“Pet.” The Petitions identify Askeladden as the sole real party-in-interest to
`these proceedings. Pet. 1. Subsequently, we vacated the previously-
`accorded filing date for each Petition, as we determined that Askeladden
`also should have identified The Clearing House Payments Company LLC
`(“PayCo”) as a real party-in-interest in its Petitions, pursuant to 35 U.S.C.
`§ 312(a)(2) and 37 C.F.R §§ 42.8(b)(1) and 42.104. Paper 26.
`In response, Askeladden updated its Mandatory Notices, on March 13,
`2015, to identify PayCo and Askeladden as the real parties-in-interest to the
`above-identified proceedings, in accordance with our prior Order (Paper 26).
`Paper 29. The updated Mandatory Notices corrected the original-filed
`Petitions. Based on the present record before us, we determine that the
`Petitions are deemed complete as of March 13, 2015.
`Accordingly, the Petitions are accorded a filing date of March 13,
`2015, and the Patent Owner’s Preliminary Responses (Paper 10) also are
`considered to be filed on March 13, 2015.
`In consideration of the foregoing, it is hereby:
`ORDERED that the Petitions filed in the above-identified proceedings
`are accorded the filing date of March 13, 2015; and
`FURTHER ORDERED that the Patent Owner’s Preliminary
`Responses are considered to be filed on March 13, 2015.
