`
`SUPPLEMENTAL REPLY TO PATENT OWNER’S OPPOSITION
`TO MOTION FOR JOINDER
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Attorney Docket No. 00035-0010IP2
`IPR of U.S. Patent No. 8,218,481
`
`
`
`In the Conduct of the Proceeding Order issued by the Board on December
`
`21, 2016 (Paper No. 13), the Board requested that Petitioner expressly indicate its
`
`decision to dismiss its petition as to the claims for which trial was not instituted in
`
`IPR2016-00758. To that end and pursuant to the agreement reached between
`
`Petitioner and Patent Owner as set forth in the Reply to the Patent Owner’s
`
`Opposition (Paper No. 8) filed on December 13, 2016, Petitioner hereby expressly
`
`dismisses its petition as to claims 4 and 11 of the ‘481 patent, which were not
`
`instituted in IPR2016-00758. Notably, Petitioner does not abandon any grounds in
`
`its petition directed to the claims that were instituted in IPR2016-00758.
`
`Petitioner’s Motion for Joinder stands unopposed (Paper No. 13, “Counsel
`
`for Patent Owner agreed that, if the non-instituted claims are dismissed from the
`
`Petitions in the joinder cases, Patent Owner does not oppose joinder of Petitioners
`
`to IPR2016-00758.”). Petitioner thus requests that the Board institute an IPR on
`
`the remaining grounds in the present case and grant Petitioner’s Motion for Joinder
`
`to IPR2016-00758 with respect to the instituted grounds.
