`
`Petitioner Toshiba Corporation, Toshiba America, Inc., Toshiba America
`Electronic Components, Inc., and Toshiba America Information Systems, Inc.,
`hereinafter “Toshiba,” filed Motions to Expunge and Replace Exhibits included
`with the Petitions in the above-cited inter partes review proceedings. In
`IPR2014-00113, Exhibit 1006, Declaration of Robert Murphy, was filed on
`October 31, 2013, along with the Petition (Paper 1) for that proceeding. In
`IPR2014-00317, Exhibit 1008, Declaration of Robert Murphy, was filed
`December 31, 2013, along with the Petition (Paper 1) for that proceeding.
`Toshiba files Motions (IPR2014-00113: Paper 8; IPR2014-00317: Paper 6) in
`each requesting that the original Declaration be expunged and replaced with a
`replacement Declaration, also by Robert Murphy, but now including Mr.
`Murphy’s curriculum vitae.
`Patent Owners Intellectual Ventures I LLC and Intellectual Ventures II
`LLC have not filed oppositions to those Motions, and we consider them
`unopposed. Given the minor changes to the Exhibits, with no change in
`declarant’s testimony, and the fact that the replacement Exhibits were filed
`prior to the due dates for Patent Owners’ Preliminary Responses, we grant
`Toshiba’s Motions.
`
`
`
`Order
`
`
`
`It is
`ORDERED that Toshiba’s Motions to Expunge and Replace Exhibits
`included with the Petitions are granted;

`FURTHER ORDERED that, in IPR2014-00113, Toshiba’s substitute
`Exhibit 1006, filed January 9, 2014, shall be substituted for the original Exhibit
`1006, filed October 31, 2013, and the original Exhibit 1006, filed October 31,
`2013, shall be expunged; and
`FURTHER ORDERED that, in IPR2014-00317, Toshiba’s substitute
`Exhibit 1008, filed January 24, 2014, shall be substituted for the original
