`

`
`
`1 Case IPR2015-00490 has been joined with this proceeding.
`
`
`
`IPR2014-01097
`Patent 7,300,194
`
`
`BACKGROUND
`This case is before the Board on Patent Owner’s Request for Adverse
`Judgment under 37 C.F.R. § 42.73(b). Paper 31.
`Petitioner first requested inter partes review of claims 1, 4–6, 16, 22, 23, 27,
`28, and 31 of U.S. Pat. No. 7,300,194 (“the ʼ194 patent”) on July 1, 2014. Paper 2.
`The Board granted the Petition and instituted an inter partes review of all
`challenged claims on January 13, 2015. Paper 9. In a conference call on
`September 10, 2015, the Board authorized Patent Owner to file a motion seeking
`adverse judgment. Following the conference call, Patent Owner filed a Request for
`Adverse Judgment. Paper 31. Petitioner did not oppose the request.
`DISCUSSION
`A party may request entry of adverse judgment against itself at any time
`during a proceeding. 37 C.F.R. § 42.73(b). Here, Patent Owner has made such a
`request and further requests that the Board cancel all challenged claims of the
`ʼ194 patent. Paper 31, 2. Under these circumstances, the entry of judgment
`adverse to the Patent Owner and cancellation of the claims as requested is
`appropriate.
`
`
`CONCLUSION AND ORDER
`Patent Owner’s Request for Adverse Judgment is granted.
`It is, therefore,
`ORDERED that adverse judgment against the Patent Owner is entered under
`37 C.F.R. § 42.73(b);
`FURTHER ORDERED that this constitutes a final written decision under
`35 U.S.C. § 318(a);
