Board Explains Procedure for Filing Supplemental Evidence or Information.

A party seeking to file supplemental evidence under 37 C.F.R. § 42.64(b)(2) must receive Board authorization to file such evidence, because the rule contemplates serving such evidence, but not filing such evidence. Likewise, a party seeking to file supplemental information under 37 C.F.R. § 42.123, must receive Board authorization to do so.  See, Facebook, Inc, v. Software Rights Archive, LLC, [IPR2013-00478], Paper 26, (March 3, 2014).
