`Patent 7,116,710 B1
`
`The Board instituted inter partes reviews in these cases on June 30,
`2017. IPR2017-00210, Paper 18; IPR2017-00219, Paper 17. The one-year
`period normally available to issue a Final Written Decision in each case
`expires on June 30, 2018.
`Pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 316(a)(11), “the final determination in an
`inter partes review [shall] be issued not later than 1 year after the date on
`which the Director notices the institution of a review under this chapter,
`except that the Director may, for good cause shown, extend the 1-year
`period by not more than 6 months . . . .” The Director has delegated the
`authority to extend the one-year period to the Chief Administrative Patent
`Judge. See 37 C.F.R. § 42.100(c). In particular, 37 C.F.R. § 42.100(c)
`provides:
`An inter partes review proceeding shall be administered such
`that pendency before the Board after institution is normally no
`more than one year. The time can be extended by up to six
`months for good cause by the Chief Administrative Patent
`Judge . . . .
`In accordance with 37 C.F.R. § 42.100(c), the Chief Administrative
`Patent Judge has determined that good cause exists to extend the one-year
`period for issuing Final Written Decisions in these cases. IPR2017-00210,
`Paper 74; IPR2017-00219, Paper 73; 37 C.F.R. § 42.100(c). Accordingly,
`the time to administer these proceedings is extended by up to six months.
`Accordingly, it is:
`ORDERED that good cause exists to extend the time of pendency in
`these proceedings; and
`FURTHER ORDERED that these proceedings are extended by up to
`six months.
