`ORDER
`Supplemental Information
`37 C.F.R. § 42.123(a)
`
`
`
`
`
`
`IPR2013-00083
`Patent 6,415,280
`
`EMC requests authorization to file a motion to submit supplemental
`
`information pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.123(a). (See Attachment.) In particular,
`EMC requests authorization to file a motion to submit a replacement to Exhibit
`1034, which contains a claim chart regarding Browne1 that was relied upon in
`some of the grounds of unpatentability asserted in EMC’s petition.
`EMC states that the replacement exhibit presents the relevant information
`regarding Browne, in a concise, user-friendly manner for the Board to consider.
`Yet, EMC does not provide an adequate explanation as to how the replacement
`exhibit would be helpful to the Board or patent owner, as the decision on
`institution entered on May 17, 2013, denied the grounds of unpatentability based
`on Browne (Paper 19, at 18-19). Moreover, the original exhibit appears to be
`readable and is presented in a sufficiently organized format.
`
`Accordingly, it is
`ORDERED that EMC’s request for authorization to file a motion to submit
`supplemental information is denied.
