`
`
`During a conference call held on July 6, 2015, between counsel for the
`parties and Judges Medley, Moore, and Shaw, counsel for Petitioner requested
`authorization to file supplemental evidence in the form of a declaration of a
`foreign language translator to support a foreign language document relied on by
`Petitioner as prior art. The Patent Owner had, in its Preliminary Response,
`objected to the certification of translation that was provided by Petitioner in
`support of the English translation of the document.
`The Board has not yet determined whether to institute inter partes review in
`this case. The Board directs the parties to 37 C.F.R. § 42.64. Any objection to
`evidence filed prior to institution of trial must be served within ten business days
`of institution of the trial. 37 C.F.R. § 42.64(b)(1). The party relying on evidence
`to which an objection is timely served may respond to the objection by serving
`supplemental evidence within ten business days of service of the objection.
`37 C.F.R. § 42.64(b)(2). Because the action contemplated by Petitioner is
`specifically covered by 37 C.F.R. § 42.64(b)(1) and § 42.64(b)(2), as discussed
`during the conference call, the Board instructs the parties to follow the procedure
`outlined therein.
`
`It is
`
`ORDERED that Petitioner’s request for authorization to file supplemental
`evidence prior to institution of trial is denied.
