`
`ORDER
`Conduct of the Proceeding
`37 C.F.R. § 42.5
`
`On September 30, 2020, Petitioner emailed the Board requesting
`authorization to file a five-page reply addressing Patent Owner’s arguments
`based on, inter alia, Apple Inc. v. Fintiv, Inc., IPR2020-00019 (PTAB
`Mar. 20, 2020) (precedential) (“Fintiv”) in Patent Owner’s Preliminary
`
`
`
`IPR2020-01055
`Patent 7,907,137 B2
`
`Response. Petitioner contends good cause exists to authorize such a reply
`because Petitioner could not meaningfully address, predict, or rebut Patent
`Owner’s arguments, or the facts as they currently stand, when Petitioner
`filed its Petition.
`Patent Owner opposes Petitioner’s request because Fintiv was
`designated precedential before the Petition was filed, and because Petitioner
`already addressed discretionary denial in the Petition.
`We determine that it would be helpful to have further briefing on the
`application of Fintiv factors to the facts of this case. Accordingly, we
`authorize the filing of a reply and sur-reply as set forth below.
`ORDER
`
`It is
`ORDERED the Petitioner is authorized to file a reply, limited to five
`pages and to Patent Owner’s application of Fintiv factors to the factual
`circumstances of this case;
`FURTHER ORDERED that Patent Owner is authorized to file a
`sur-reply, limited to five pages and to the arguments and assertions in
`Petitioner’s reply; and
`FURTHER ORDERED that Petitioner’s reply is due one week from
`the date of this Order, and Patent Owner’s sur-reply is due one week from
`the filing of Petitioner’s reply.
