`
`
`During a conference call with the parties on March 20, 2018, Braemar
`Manufacturing, LLC (“Patent Owner”) requested permission to file a sur-
`reply brief in response to Infobionic, Inc.’s (“Petitioner’s”) reply brief.
`Specifically, Patent Owner seeks permission to file sur-reply brief—in lieu
`of a motion for observation regarding cross-examination of reply witness—
`to address what Patent Owner characterizes as new arguments raised by
`Petitioner in Petitioner’s reply brief. Petitioner opposes Patent Owner’s
`request, but, if granted, requests permission to file a sur-reply brief in
`response to Patent Owner’s brief.
`In consideration of the foregoing, it is hereby:
`ORDERED that on or before March 31, 2018, (stipulated Due Date 4
`(Paper 20)), Patent Owner may file a sur-reply brief, not to exceed 10 pages,
`in lieu of a motion for observation regarding cross-examination of reply
`witness; and
`FURTHER ORDERED that Petitioner may, but is not required to, file
`a sur-reply brief, not to exceed 5 pages, in response to Patent Owner’s sur-
`reply brief, if filed within 1-week Patent Owner’s sur-reply brief.
