`
`
`I. ANALYSIS
`Patent Owner’s Response was due on July 22, 2020. In an email to
`the Board on July 24, 2020, Patent Owner explained that the Response and
`accompanying exhibits were not served by email on Petitioner until July 23,
`2020, at approximately 1:51 am. Further, Patent Owner stated that the
`Certificate of Service for the Response and accompanying exhibits
`incorrectly states that the documents were served on July 22, 2020, instead
`of July 23, 2020.
`Patent Owner requested that its Response and accompanying exhibits
`be deemed timely, and that it be permitted to file a corrected Certificate of
`Service. Petitioner does not oppose Patent Owner’s request. Because Patent
`Owner’s service was late by only a couple of hours and Petitioner does not
`oppose, we granted Patent Owner’s request in an email to the parties on
`July 29, 2020.
`
`II. ORDER
`
`It is hereby
`ORDERED that Patent Owner’s request that its Response and
`
`accompanying exhibits be deemed timely is granted; and
`FURTHER ORDERED that Patent Owner’s request to file a corrected
`Certificate of Service for its Response and accompanying exhibits is
`granted.
