`ARGUMENT
`
`The Board instituted review in the above-captioned proceeding for claims 1-
`
`5 and 8 of U.S. Patent No. 8,388,501, but denied review of all other claims in the
`
`patent, namely, claims 6, 7, and 9-20, under grounds 4-7. Institution Decision 14
`
`at 32-33. The Petitioner requested a rehearing of the Board’s decision. Rehearing
`
`Request 16. In the Board decision issued today, Order 22, the Board modified the
`
`wording of its decision, but “decline[d] to alter our decision not to institute on
`
`grounds 4-7. Order 22 at 7.
`
`“A party may request judgment against itself at any time during a
`
`proceeding.” 37 C.F.R. § 42.73(b)(2). Accordingly, Kolcraft respectfully requests
`
`judgment against itself, and asks that the Board cancel the only claims remaining
`
`in this proceeding (claims 1-5 and 8) and enter adverse judgment against it.
