`U.S. Pat. No. 8,725,276
`IPR2015-01891
`Motion Requesting Acceptance of
`Submission Pursuant to 37 C.F.R.§
`42.6(b)
`
`
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.6(b), Patent Owner adidas AG hereby submits
`
`this Motion requesting the Board to accept the submission of the following
`
`documents by means other than electronic filing:
`
`1.
`
`2.
`
`Patent Owner’s Preliminary Response under 37 § C.F.R. 42.107(a)
`
`Exhibit 2001
`
`Good cause to grant this Motion exists because the Patent Review
`
`Processing System (“PRPS”) experienced a systemic failure resulting from a major
`
`power outage at the headquarters of the United States Patent and Trademark Office
`
`(“USPTO”). The PRPS is nonfunctional as of December 23, 2015. See Exhibit
`
`2002. Patent Owner therefore submits the above documents via email to
`
`Trials@uspto.gov.
`
`Patent Owner seeks a filing date of these documents of December 23, 2015,
`
`the date of receipt at the Board. Patent Owner requests that the Board grant this
`
`Motion and accept submission of the documents pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.6(b).
