In Valeo, Inc. v. Magna Electronics Inc., IPR2014-01208, Paper 11 (November 26, 2014), the Board gave the patent owner an entire page to respond to petitioner’s brief on the issue of real party interest. The patent owner wanted to identify previous Board rulings pertinent to the issue and include relevant filings by petitioner — hopefully one page (excluding heading and signature block — will be enough to get this done.
Considering that patent owner had to set up and participate in a conference call, one wonders whether the burden to get this one page was worth it.
