`
`On August 24, 2018, Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. (“Patent
`Owner”) contacted the Board requesting authorization to file sur-replies to
`the replies filed by Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. (“Petitioner”) in each of
`the above identified cases. Patent Owner represented that it met and
`conferred with Petitioner, and that Petitioner agreed not to oppose Patent
`Owner’s request in order to avoid excessive motions practice.
`Given Petitioner’s non-objection, and the recent changes2 to the Trial
`Practice Guide allowing patent owners to file sur-replies that (a) respond to
`arguments made in principle reply briefs, (b) comment on reply declaration
`testimony, or (c) point to cross-examination testimony, Patent Owner’s
`request is granted. Patent Owner may file a sur-reply in each of the above
`identified cases limited to the topics identified above. Any such sur-reply
`must be filed no later than September 10, 2018, and may not exceed 7 pages
`in length.
`
`
