`
`Case IPR2016-00739
` (Patent 5,591,678)
`
`____________
`
`PATENT OWNER’S REQUEST FOR ADVERSE JUDGMENT UNDER 37
`
`C.F.R. § 42.73(b)
`
`
`
`

`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`BACKGROUND
`
`
`
`The patent at issue in this proceeding, U.S. Patent No. 5,591,678 (the “678
`
`patent”), has 18 claims. In this proceeding, the Board instiuted review for claims
`
`1-4 and 8-10 of the 678 patent, but denied review of all other claims, namely,
`
`claims 5-7 and 11-18. (Paper 10 at 21). Patent Owner requests adverse judgment
`
`with respect to claims 1-4 and 8-10 of the 678 patent.
`
`RELIEF REQUESTED
`
`“A party may request judgment against itself at any time during a
`
`proceeding.” 37 C.F.R. § 42,73(b)(2). Accordingly, Patent Owner respectfully
`
`requests judgment against itself, and asks that the Board cancel claims 1-4 and 8-
`
`10 of the 678 patent. Claims 5-7 and 11-18 of the 678 patent are not at issue in this
`
`proceeding and Patent Owner makes no request with respect to such claims.
`
`Because claims 1-4 and 8-10 of the 678 patent are the only claims at issue in this
`
`proceeding, the requested adverse judgment will end the proceeding.
`
`
`Respectfully submitted,
