`Members of the Board, 


`Petitioner objects to this supplemental request that was not provided to Petitioner prior to Patent 
`Owner’s email to the Board.  Petitioner opposes both requests.  Petitioner understands that the

`

`Board does not wish to receive argument by email unless the Board requests it.  If the Board would 
`like, however, Petitioner can provide the full basis for that opposition, which is based on both the 
`substance and timing of the request.   


`Best regards, 


`David Hoffman

`
`  
`To the Honorable Board:   
`  
`In reference to its request earlier today (see below), Patent Owner respectfully requests that the authorization include 
`authorization to address the Director’s 5/21/18 Supplemental Brief on SAS filed in the PGS case and to submit pages 8‐
`10 of that Brief as an exhibit.  See Trial Prac. Guide, 77 FR at 48758 c.2 (“parties should be prepared to discuss with a 
`Trial Section paralegal why the call is needed and what materials may be needed during the call, e.g., a particular 
`exhibit.”). 
`
`  
`Also, to repeat, the date that the parties are available if a call is preferred is 9AM‐2PM Wednesday June 13.   
`
`  
`For the Board’s convenience, Patent Owner hereby restates below its entire request with the above points added. 
`‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ 
`To the Honorable Board: 
`  
`In the above‐referenced matter (Kingston v. Polaris, IPR2016‐01622) Patent Owner respectfully requests 
`authorization to brief the impact of yesterday’s decision in PGS Geophysical AS v. Iancu, ‐‐‐ F.3d ‐‐‐‐ (Fed. Cir. 
`2018), before a decision is issued on Petitioner’s request for rehearing in this matter.  In the alternative, if the 
`Board prefers a call, Patent Owner requests a call, and the parties are available for a call Wednesday June 13 
`between 9AM and 2PM Eastern Daylight Time. 
`
`  
`PGS addresses the effect of SAS Institute, Inc. v. Iancu on existing partial institution decisions.  Patent Owner is 
`prepared to explain why the PGS case supports denial of rehearing in this matter.   
`  
`If, arguendo, the Board currently has jurisdiction in this matter it is undisputed that jurisdiction will expire no 
`later than the appellate deadline, which is currently June 14th.  In view of that constraint and the fact that 
`Petitioner lead counsel of record is traveling until Monday, Patent Owner respectfully proposes that each party 
`be authorized to file a 1 page brief strictly limited to addressing the impact (if any) of the PGS case on the 
`present matter by noon Eastern Daylight Time Tuesday, May 12.  Patent Owner requests that this authorization 
`include authorization to address the Director’s 5/21/18 Supplemental Brief on SAS filed in the PGS case, and to 
`submit pages 8‐10 of that Brief as an exhibit.  See Trial Prac. Guide, 77 FR at 48758 c.2 (“parties should be 
`prepared to discuss with a Trial Section paralegal why the call is needed and what materials may be needed 
`during the call, e.g., a particular exhibit.”). 
`  
`I am authorized to state that Petitioner opposes this proposal.
