`
`Counsel,
`
`Petitioner’s unopposed request to file a Reply to Patent Owner’s Preliminary Response is granted.
`Additionally, Patent Owner’s unopposed request to file a Sur-Reply to Petitioner’s Reply is granted. Each
`filing is limited to the issue of discretionary denial under 35 U.S.C. § 314(a) and the six factors set forth in
`Apple Inc. v. Fintiv, Inc., IPR2020-00019, Paper 11 (Mar. 20, 2020) (precedential). Each filing shall be
`no more than ten pages. The Petitioner’s Reply to Patent Owner’s Preliminary Response is due on or
`before June 2, 2020. Patent Owner’s Sur-Reply to Petitioner’s Reply is due 5 business days after
`Petitioner’s filing. No further briefing is authorized. A conference call is not deemed necessary.
`

`Subject: IPR2020-00499, -00502, -00504, and -00505: Petitioner Request for Leave to File Reply
`
`Trials -
`
`Petitioner requests leave to file a reply to Patent Owner’s Preliminary Response in IPR2020-00499,
`-00502, -00504, and -00505. Petitioner seeks leave to file a reply to respond to Patent Owner’s
`arguments regarding the Board’s discretion under §314(a), including its reliance on the Apple v.
`Fintiv decision that issued after the petitions in the above-referenced IPRs were filed.
`
`Petitioner consulted with counsel for Patent Owner regarding this request. Patent Owner does not
`oppose Petitioner’s request, provided Patent Owner is given leave to file a sur-reply to Petitioner’s
`Reply. Petitioner does not oppose Patent Owner’s request.
`
`
`
`
`Should the Board believe a call is necessary to discuss Petitioner’s request, the parties are generally
`available May 26-29, 2020, for a conference call.
`
`Thank you,
`Chris Mizzo
