`FINAL DECISION
`
`35 U.S.C. § 318(a) and 37 C.F.R. § 42.73(b)
`
`
`
`
`
`Case IPR2013-00239
`Patent 7,462,552 B2
`
`
`The Petition for Inter Partes Review that is the subject of this
`
`proceeding was filed on April 5, 2013 asserting unpatentability of claims 1,
`
`7-11, 17, 18, 22-24, 27, 31, 34, 45, 46, 54, 56, 74, and 76 (“challenged
`
`claims”) of U.S. Patent No. 7,462,552 B2 (the “’552 patent”). Paper 2. On
`
`August 13, 2013, the Board instituted trial on all the challenged claims.
`
`Paper 9. Patent Owner, in its Response dated November 15, 2013 (Paper
`
`12), requests adverse judgment pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.73(b), which
`
`states that “[a] party may request judgment against itself at any time during a
`
`proceeding.” The Response states that “[t]he requested judgment will
`
`effectively cancel the identified claims identified for trial and moot this
`
`proceeding.” Paper 12.
`
`In consideration of the foregoing, it is hereby
`
`ORDERED that claims 1, 7-11, 17, 18, 22-24, 27, 31, 34, 45, 46, 54,
`
`56, 74, and 76 of the ’552 patent are CANCELLED.
