`Patent 9,083,850 B1
`
`
`On May 11, 2017, Patent Owner sent an email to Trials@uspto.gov
`
`seeking a conference call to request authorization to file a motion to strike
`
`Petitioner’s Objections to Patent Owner’s Evidence (Paper 21). According
`
`to Patent Owner, the objections made are impermissibly vague and do not
`
`allow for a proper response.
`
`On May 15, 2017, a conference call was held with Judges Turner,
`
`Benoit, and Braden, and respective counsel for the parties. Patent Owner
`
`pointed out that the objection to the Declaration of Alan C. Bovik (Ex. 2002)
`
`makes reference to “Dr. Greenspun,” and argued that the objections are
`
`generic and not specific to the actual evidence. Petitioner argued that its
`
`objections were complete and discernable, and at least as specific as the
`
`objections raised by Patent Owner. See Paper 13.
`
`During the conference call, the panel was not persuaded that Patent
`
`Owner had raised sufficient issues to authorize a motion to strike to be filed.
`
`Accordingly, it is:
`
`ORDERED that Patent Owner’s request for authorization to file a
`
`Motion to Strike is denied.
