`
`Dear Honorable Board:
`
`Petitioner did not contact or otherwise meet and confer before sending the email below. Rather than
`argue via email as Petitioner does below, Patent Owner merely stands on its request to file the sur-reply
`it intended to. If Petitioner wishes to strike some portion, then it can attempt to do so at a later time.
`However, Petitioner delayed providing any clear response to whether it opposed PO filing the correct
`brief. This is the only issue before the Board at this time.
`
`Thank you for your consideration.
`
`Sincerely,
`Erick Robinson

`
`Dear Honorable Board,
`
`
`Patent Owner’s email below does not properly characterize Petitioner’s position. Petitioner does not
`oppose Patent Owner’s request to expunge Ex. 2015 and all references to Ex. 2015 in its sur-reply. It
`also does not oppose Patent Owner filing a corrected sur-reply removing the improper content. But
`Patent Owner has insisted on replacing the expunged content in the sur-reply with a lengthy footnote
`making reference to Ex. 2015. In addition, after Petitioner notified Patent Owner on July 9 of additional
`improper content on pages 9 and 10, Patent Owner offered to remove the content but once again
`added a footnote making reference to the removed content. Expunging content only to reference it in
`footnotes is not expungement. And adding new content after July 8 is not proper. Petitioner is mindful
`of the Board’s resources and has repeatedly requested that Patent Owner simply expunge the improper
`content and re-file the sur-reply, without the addition of any new content, such as the footnotes. That
`would be consistent with the rules relating to sur-replies and the Board’s order on July 8. If authorized,
`Petitioner will submit a redline showing the content that Patent Owner seeks to add in its corrected sur-
`reply.
`
`
`Respectfully,
`
`

`
`
`Dear Honorable Board:
`
`
`Patent Owner has met and conferred with Petitioner, and Petitioner opposes Patent Owner’s
`request that its Sur-Reply (Paper 35) in the IPR2023-00954 matter and Ex-2015 be expunged due
`to a filing error related to the impact of Hurricane Beryl on PO’s counsel. If allowed, PO will
`provide the corrected Sur-Reply and exhibit list that it initially intended to file on July 8. The
`corrected Sur-Reply includes two footnotes explaining what was eliminated for appellate
`purposes.
`
`
`This is the version of the Sur-Reply that was intended to be filed on July 8 and would have been
`filed had the hurricane not severely disrupted operations on the due date of the sur-reply. PO
`represents to the Board that the version it intends to file is the same version PO’s counsel was
`referring to in my July 8 email to the Board. If a conference call with the Board is needed, the
`parties can provide their availability. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.

`Upon further comment from my non-hurricane-ravaged colleagues, PO respectfully requests the
`entire sur-reply (Paper 35) to be expunged. If allowed, we will provide a corrected sur-reply and
`exhibit list immediately to eliminate any reference to Ex. 2015.
`
`
`Apologies for the confusion and thank you for your consideration.

`Subject: Re: IPR2023-00954: Patent Owner's Request for Permission to File Rebuttal Evidence
`with Sur-Reply
`
`
`Dear Honorable Board:
`
`
`Patent Owner respectfully requests that Ex. 2015 from PO’s sur-reply (Paper 35) re IPR2023-
`00954 be expunged. Petitioner’s counsel are copied on this email.
`
`
`Primary counsel for PO as well as supporting staff are based in Houston, which today took a
`direct hit from Hurricane Beryl. We have been without power or Internet all day in the office
`and at our homes. In the chaos, we mistakenly filed an old version of our Sur-Reply from before
`this morning's ruling from the Board. Out of an abundance of caution based on this morning’s
`ruling, we request Ex. 2015 be expunged. If the Board approves, we will immediately file an
`updated exhibit list without Ex. 2015. Thank you for your patience and understanding. Please
`contact me if you have any questions. Thank you again.
`
