partes review, post-grant review, the transitional program for covered

final rule.

ongoing AIA preliminary proceeding or trial before the Office.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Susan L. C. Mitchell, Lead

to the Rules of Practice for Trials Before the Patent Trial and Appeal 
Board.'' This document corrects an error in Sec.  42.24(a)(1).

service or word count, or appendix of exhibits or claim listing. The 
reference to ``grounds for standing under Sec.  42.104, Sec.  42.204,
