`
`JUDGMENT
` Request for Adverse Judgment
`37 C.F.R. § 42.73(b)

`Patent 5,954,781
`
`
`
`
`The Petition herein was filed on August 4, 2014 (Paper 1),
`
`challenging only claims 31 and 32 of U.S. Patent No. 5,954,781. Patent
`
`Owner’s Preliminary Response was filed on November 4, 2014 (Paper 9),
`
`and we have not yet instituted an inter partes review of claims 31 and 32.
`
`On December 29, 2014, Patent Owner filed a request for cancellation
`
`of claims 31 and 32 (Paper 19). Under 37 C.F.R. § 42.73(b), cancellation of
`
`all challenged claims leaving no remaining claims for trial is construed as a
`
`request for entry of adverse judgment.
`
`
`
`Accordingly, it is
`
`ORDER
`
`ORDERED that Patent Owner’s request to cancel claims 31 and 32 of
`
`U.S. Patent No. 5,954,781, is granted; and
`
`FURTHER ORDERED that adverse judgment is entered herein
`
`against Patent Owner.
