`
`
`On February 9, 2015, Patent Owner, American Vehicular Sciences
`
`LLC (“AVS”), stated that it is abandoning this contest and requested entry of
`
`adverse judgment. Paper 22. Under 35 U.S.C. § 42.73(b), a party may

`request judgment against itself at any time during a proceeding. Also, under

`37 C.F.R. § 42.73(b)(4) actions construed as a request for entry of adverse
`
`judgment include abandonment of the contest. AVS not only has requested
`
`abandonment of this contest, but also expressly requested entry of adverse
`
`judgment. Paper 22.
`
`Accordingly, it is:
`
`Order
`
`ORDERED that AVS’s request for entry of adverse judgment is
`
`granted; and
`
`FURTHER ORDERED that judgment is herein entered against AVS
`
`with respect to claims 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 13 and 20 of U.S. Patent No.
