(a) Types of motions—(1) Substantive motions. Consistent with the notice of requested relief, if any, and to the extent the Board authorizes, a party may file a motion:

1. (i) To redefine the scope of the contested case,
2. (ii) To change benefit accorded for the contested subject matter, or
3. (iii) For judgment in the contested case.
4. (2) Responsive motions. The Board may authorize a party to file a motion to amend or add a claim, to change inventorship, or otherwise to cure a defect raised in a notice of requested relief or in a substantive motion.
5. (3) Miscellaneous motions. Any request for relief other than a substantive or responsive motion must be filed as a miscellaneous motion.

(c) Content of motions; oppositions and replies.

1. (1) Each motion must be filed as a separate paper and must include:

   1. (i) A statement of the precise relief requested,
   2. (ii) A statement of material facts (see paragraph (d) of this section), and
   3. (iii) A full statement of the reasons for the relief requested, including a detailed explanation of the significance of the evidence and the governing law, rules, and precedent.
2. (2) Compliance with rules. Where a rule in part 1 of this title ordinarily governs the relief sought, the motion must make any showings required under that rule in addition to any showings required in this part.
3. (3) The Board may order additional showings or explanations as a condition for filing a motion.

(d) Statement of material facts.

1. (1) Each material fact shall be set forth as a separate numbered sentence with specific citations to the portions of the record that support the fact.
2. (2) The Board may require that the statement of material facts be submitted as a separate paper.
