`NOTICE OF FILING DATE ACCORDED TO PETITION
`AND
`TIME FOR FILING PATENT OWNER PRELIMINARY RESPONSE
`
`The petition for “inter partes review,” in the above proceeding has
`been accorded the filing date of November 4, 2015.
`A review of the petition identified the following defect(s):
`Failure to provide copies of all patents and printed publications that
`Petitioner relies upon in support of the petition. 35 U.S.C. §§ 312(a)(3),
`322(a)(3).
`Failure to label exhibits properly. 37 C.F.R. § 42.63(d).
`
`
`
`IPR2016-00141
`Patent 6,240,073
`
`
`Please note, there are several issues with the filed petition including:
`the Petitioner’s “List of Exhibits” lists Exhibit 1004 as U.S. Patent No.
`5,592,470, however, a different Patent was uploaded under the referenced
`exhibit number—US Patent No 5,592,470 was referenced in the petition but
`not uploaded; the List of Exhibits incorrectly references Exhibit 1007 as
`U.S. Patent 5,172,375 Beal, this is the Patent number for Kou and does not
`match what was uploaded.
`Petitioner must correct the defect(s) within FIVE BUSINESS DAYS
`from this notice. Failure to correct the defect(s) may result in an order to
`show cause as to why the Board should institute the trial. No substantive
`changes (e.g., new grounds) may be made to the petition.
`Patent Owner may file a preliminary response to the petition no later
`than three months from the date of this notice. The preliminary response is
`limited to setting forth the reasons why the requested review should not be
`instituted. Patent Owner may also file an election to waive the preliminary
`response to expedite the proceeding. For more information, please consult
`the Office Patent Trial Practice Guide, 77 Fed. Reg. 48756 (Aug. 14, 2012),
`which is available on the Board Web site at http://www.uspto.gov/PTAB.
`Patent Owner is advised of the requirement to submit mandatory
`notice information under 37 C.F.R. § 42.8(a)(2) within 21 days of service of
`the petition.
`The parties are encouraged to use the heading on the first page of this
`Notice for all future filings in the proceeding.

`counsel pro hac vice requires a showing of good cause. The parties are
