`

`
`
`
`
`
`ANCORA TECHNOLOGIES INC.’S
`MOTION TO ACCEPT LATE FILING
`
`
`Patent Owner, Ancora Technologies, Inc. (“Ancora”), submits this motion
`
`requesting that the Board accept the late filing of Patent Owner’s Sur-Reply to
`
`Motion for Joinder. Due to a docketing error that occurred between the transition of
`
`firms representing the Patent Owner, Patent Owner requests a two (2) day extension.
`
`
`
`Case No.: IPR2021-00570
`Patent No.: 6,411,941
`
`
`
`The Board had authorized Patent Owner to file a 7-page Sur-Reply within 10
`
`business days from the filing of the Reply. (Paper 7.) Petitioner filed its Reply on
`
`April 5, 2021 making Patent Owner’s Sur-Reply due on April 19, 2021.
`
`Additionally, Patent Owner requires multiple counsel given the complexities of the
`
`parties involved in this action. Due to an error in the docketing of the filing date
`
`when transitioning between firms, counsel that will now be making an appearance
`
`as additional counsel in this matter mistakenly docketed the Sur-Reply date as April
`
`20, 2021.
`
`When Patent Owner learned of this error, Patent Owner contacted Petitioner
`
`in regard to this limited extension. Petitioner does not oppose this request. Petitioner
`
`did not respond until after business hours on April 20, 2021.
`
`For the foregoing reasons, Patent Owner respectfully requests that the Board
`
`grant Patent Owner a two-day extension to file its Sur-Reply to April 21, 2021.
`
`
`Dated: April 21, 2021
