`Authorizing Patent Owner to File Sur-Reply
`37 C.F.R. § 42.5(a)
`
`
`By email correspondence to the Board, Patent Owner requests
`authorization to file a sur-reply in this proceeding, in accordance with the
`
`
`
`IPR2017-02183
`Patent 8,279,991 B2
`2018 Revised Trial Practice Guide.1 In its email correspondence, Patent
`Owner represents that “Petitioner informed Patent Owner that it does not
`oppose this request.”
`Authorization is granted to file a sur-reply, in lieu of a motion for
`observations on cross-examination, by Due Date 4, which the parties have
`modified by stipulation to be January 11, 2019. Paper 13. The sur-reply
`must comply with the provisions set forth in the Revised Trial Practice
`Guide, specifically:
`The sur-reply may not be accompanied by new evidence other
`than deposition transcripts of the cross-examination of any reply
`witness. Sur-replies should only respond to arguments made in
`reply briefs, comment on reply declaration testimony, or point to
`cross-examination testimony. . . . [A] sur-reply may address the
`institution decision if necessary to respond to the petitioner’s
`reply.
`Trial Practice Guide Update, 14. The sur-reply is subject to the same word
`limit as the reply. Id. at 6; see 37 C.F.R. § 42.24(c)(1).
`
`
`It is
`ORDERED that Patent Owner is authorized to file a sur-reply as
`specified above.
