`Conduct of the Proceeding

`IPR2021-00468
`Patent 6,982,663
`
`
`
`Patent Owner’s Preliminary Response in this proceeding contains the
`
`following argument:
`To the extent Howard actually identifies a threshold at which
`the algorithm for generating the codeword changes, that
`threshold is 2k, not 2k+1. This is clear from the very text
`reproduced by Petitioner (if one disregards Petitioner's green
`annotations):
`
`
`
`Preliminary Response (Paper 8) at 42–43.
`
`The panel has determined that additional briefing on this argument
`would be helpful,
`
`It is, therefore,
`
`ORDERED that Petitioner shall submit a supplemental brief of not
`more than five pages addressing the argument appearing at pages 42–45 of
`Patent Owner’s Preliminary Response;
`
`FURTHER ORDERED that the supplemental brief is limited to the
`argument set forth on those pages of the Preliminary Response, specifically,
`the argument that “if a threshold exists in Howard, that threshold would be
`2k, not 2k+1” and the supporting evidence presented by Patent Owner;

`
`FURTHER ORDERED that, in its supplemental brief, Petitioner may
`
`provide further explanation for arguments presented in its Petition, but may
`not present any new arguments;
`
`FURTHER ORDERED that Petitioner should cite where in the
`Petition the arguments further explained in the supplemental brief were
`initially presented;
`
`FURTHER ORDERED that Petitioner’s supplemental brief is due ten
`days from the entry of this Order;
`
`FURTHER ORDERED that Patent Owner is authorized to file a reply
`brief of no more than five pages responding to Petitioner’s supplemental
`brief within ten days of being served with the supplemental brief; and
`
`FURTHER ORDERED that Petitioner’s supplemental brief and
`Patent Owner’s reply are limited to the record currently before us; no new
`evidence in any form is permitted.
