`
`IPR2016-01229
`Patent 7,881,236 B2
`
`A Final Written Decision (Paper 27) was issued in this proceeding on
`
`November 30, 2017. In the Final Written Decision, claims 1–10, 12, and 13
`of U.S. Patent No. 7,881,236 B2 were held to be unpatentable. On
`December 29, 2017, Patent Owner filed a Request for Rehearing Pursuant to
`37 C.F.R. §42.71(d) (Paper 28, “Request”).
`
`Due to the particular fact-specific nature of Patent Owner’s request
`and the particular circumstances of this case, the panel believes full briefing
`would be useful. Accordingly, Petitioner is authorized to file an opposition
`to the Request. Petitioner’s opposition shall be limited to 15 pages. The
`page limit does not include a caption and title, a table of contents, a table of
`authorities, a certificate of service, or an appendix of exhibits.
`
`Patent Owner is authorized to file a reply in support of the Request.
`Patent Owner’s reply shall be limited to 5 pages. The page limit does not
`include a caption and title, a table of contents, a table of authorities, a
`certificate of service, or an appendix of exhibits.
`Therefore, it is
`ORDERED that Petitioner is authorized to file an opposition to Patent
`Owner’s Request for Rehearing (Paper 28) in accordance with this Order on
`or before January 19, 2018; and
`FURTHER ORDERED that Patent Owner is authorized to file a reply
`in accordance with this Order on or before January 26, 2018.
