`
`On December 14, 2015, counsel for Patent Owner contacted the Board
`to request authorization to file a request for adverse judgment on the
`challenged claims of U.S. Patent 6,057,221 C1 (’221 Patent), which are all
`of the claims that emerged from reexamination pursuant to Reexamination
`Request No. 90/011,607. On December 16, 2015, a conference call was held
`to discuss Patent Owner’s request. Rose Prey and Michael Turner appeared
`on behalf of Petitioners. Steven Pollinger and Ramzi Khazen appeared on
`behalf of Patent Owner.
`Mr. Pollinger represented that Patent Owner understands that, as a
`consequence of adverse judgment being entered, all of the claims of the ’221
`Patent will be cancelled. In order to end this proceeding, Patent Owner’s
`Request for Adverse Judgment should request cancellation of all the
`involved claims. 37 C.F.R. § 42.73(b)(2). Mr. Pollinger stated that Patent
`Owner also plans to move for dismissal of the underlying district court
`litigation. Counsel for Petitioners stated that Petitioners do not oppose the
`request.
`Accordingly, it is:
`ORDERED that Patent Owner is authorized to file a Request for
`Adverse Judgment, requesting cancellation of all the involved claims of the
`’221 Patent pursuant to 37 C.F.R. 42.73 within five calendar days from the
`entry of this Order.
