` 
`Dear PTAB,
` 
`For clarification, Patent Owner Varian explained to Petitioner Elekta that it would not oppose a
`motion to file the order as supplemental information, and that Patent Owner's position is that rule
`42.8 is not a mechanism for submitting orders from related litigation.
` 
`Thank you.

`Subject: Elekta v. Varian (IPR2016-01902 and -01904)
` 
`Dear PTAB,
` 
`In the litigation related to these proceedings (Varian Medical Systems, Inc. v. Elekta AB et al., No.
`15-871-LPS (D. Del.)), the district court issued yesterday a claim construction order and opinion on
`the same terms discussed in the Petition and in Patent Owner's Preliminary Response. 
`
`Rule 42.8 requires the parties to file updated mandatory notices within 21 days of a change of the
`related matters.  During conference calls in other proceedings not involving the parties to these
`proceedings, some panels have asked Petitioner Elekta’s counsel to file such notices whenever
`something significant happens in the related litigation; other panels have told Elekta’s counsel not
`to do so.  Could you please let us know whether the panel for these proceedings would like Elekta to
`file updated mandatory notices for the claim construction order and opinion?  If yes, would the
`panel like Elekta to include copies of the claim construction order and opinion as exhibits?
` 
`Patent Owner Varian’s position is that a mandatory notice should not be filed for the claim
`construction order and opinion.
` 
`Best regards,
`Joshua L. Goldberg
`Backup Counsel for Petitioner
