Filing Dates and Corrected Filing Dates

Posted on by

In SCHOTT Gemtron Corporation SSW Holdings Company, Inc., IPR2014-00367, Paper 21 (August 21, 2014), the Board changed the filing date of the Petition to the date that all of petitioner’s papers, including the supporting declaration, were received.  Because this change may have made the petition untimely, the Board gave the petitioner time to file a motion for corrected filing date, referring the petitioner to ABB Inc. v. Roy-G-Biv Corp., IPR2013-00063, slip op. (PTAB Jan. 16, 2013) (Paper 21), and Conmed Corp. v. Bonutti Skeletal Innovations LLC, IPR2013-00624, slip op. (PTAB Feb. 21, 2014) (Paper 18), addressing motions to correct filed in similar circumstances.
