`
`INTRODUCTION
`On December 5, 2017, Patent Owner filed a contingent motion to
`amend, and on February 27, 2018, Petitioner filed a response to the motion.
`On March 12, 2018, the parties contacted the Board seeking an extension of
`the page limit for Patent Owner’s reply concerning its motion to amend and
`seeking a sur-reply by Petitioner regarding the motion to amend. The parties
`asserted that the requested procedural modifications are justified by the
`change in the allocation of burdens on motions to amend following Aqua
`Products, Inc. v. Matal, 872 F.3d 1290 (Fed. Cir. 2017). On March 20,
`2018, the parties proposed agreed-upon page limits for the reply and sur-
`reply and a revised briefing schedule.
`The parties’ joint request for procedural modifications is reasonable in
`light of Aqua Products and does not result in a change of the oral argument
`date. See Paper 20 (previously changing the oral argument date from
`May 22, 2018 to June 5, 2018).
`
`ORDER
`
`It is
`ORDERED that, the page limit for Patent Owner’s reply regarding its

`FURTHER ORDERED that, on or before by April 18, 2018,

`Patent Owner’s reply regarding its motion to amend; provided that,
`Petitioner’s sur-reply may not include new testimonial evidence and may not
`include new prior art grounds of unpatentability;
`FURTHER ORDERED that, the Due Date Appendix of our
`Scheduling Order (Paper 8) is amended as follows:
