`
`PETITIONERS RENEWED REQUEST FOR EXPEDITED
`DETERMINATION OF INVALIDITY UNDER 35 U.S.C § 101
`
`
`
`Case No. CBM2012-00001
`
`Attorney Docket No. 09449.0025-00000
`
`In the conference call of February 12, 2013, the Board ruled that it would
`
`not expedite trial on the ground of invalidity under 35 U.S.C. § 101, as requested
`
`by Petitioners (Paper 40), unless Petitioners would agree to forgo a decision on the
`
`ground of invalidity under 35 U.S.C. § 102. Although Petitioners respectfully
`
`submit that the Petitioners‘ proposed expedited schedule would serve the interests
`
`of justice and efficiency without such an election, if the Board orders such an
`
`expedited schedule and believes a final written decision on the § 101 ground can
`
`be rendered by approximately May 31, 2013, Petitioners, in light of the ruling
`
`above and in order to achieve this expedited schedule, would agree to withdraw the
`
`instituted grounds of invalidity under 35 U.S.C. § 102.
`
`Dated: February 14, 2013 nEnn
