`Case IPR2015-01585 Case IPR2015-01613
`Patent 5,917,405
`
`
`The panel stayed Ex Parte Reexamination No. 90/013,300 (“300 Reexam”),
`the co-pending ex parte reexamination of U.S. Patent No. 5,917,405 (“the ’405
`patent”), the patent challenged in IPR2015-01585 and IPR2015-01613. IPR2015-
`01585 Paper 25, IPR2015-01613 Paper 16. Final Written Decisions have been
`issued holding that Nissan North America, Inc., has shown claims 1–3, 11, 16, and
`17 (IPR2015-01585 Paper 32, 35) of the ’405 patent to be unpatentable and
`Volkswagen Group of America, Inc., has shown claims 1–3, 7, 8, 11, 12, 14, 16,
`17, 19, and 20 (IPR2015-01613 Paper 22, 22) and of the ’405 patent to be
`unpatentable.
`Under 37 C.F.R. § 42.71(d)(2), a party dissatisfied with a final decision of
`the Board must file its request for rehearing within 30 days. The 30-day deadline
`for filing a request for rehearing has passed, and no party has filed such a request.
`In addition, no party has filed a notice appeal as required by 35 U.S.C. § 142 and
`37 C.F.R. §§ 90.2(a) and 90.3. Accordingly, it is now appropriate to lift the stay of
`Reexamination Control No. 90/013,300.
`ORDER
`
`Accordingly, it is
`ORDERED that the stay of Reexamination 90/013,300, is hereby lifted; and
`FURTHER ORDERED that all time periods in Reexamination 90/013,300
`are hereby restarted.
