`ORDER
`Conduct of the Proceeding
`37 C.F.R. § 42.5
`
`
`1 Samsung Electronics Company, Ltd. was joined as a party to this
`proceeding via a Motion for Joinder in IPR2017-01747.

`IPR2017-00392
`Patent 5,711,849
`
`
`
`On April 24, 2018, the Supreme Court held that a decision to institute
`under 35 U.S.C. § 314 may not institute on fewer than all claims challenged
`in the petition. SAS Inst., Inc. v. Iancu, No. 16-969, 2018 WL 1914661, at
`*10 (U.S. Apr. 24, 2018). In our Decision on Institution, we determined that
`Petitioner demonstrated a reasonable likelihood that it would establish that at
`least one of the challenged claims of the ’849 patent is unpatentable, but did
`not institute trial on all grounds presented. Paper 10, 18–19. Pursuant to
`Office guidance, we modify our institution decision to institute on all of the
`challenged claims and all of the grounds presented in the Petition. See
`United States Patent and Trademark Office, Guidance on the Impact of SAS
`on AIA Trial Proceedings, PATENT TRIAL AND APPEAL BOARD TRIALS (April
`26, 2018), https://go.usa.gov/xQ93y.
`Petitioner and Patent Owner shall confer to discuss the impact, if any,
`of this Order on the proceeding. If, after conferring, the parties wish to
`submit additional briefing, the parties must, within one week of the date of
`this Order, request a conference call with the panel to seek authorization for
`such briefing.
`In consideration of the foregoing, it is hereby:
`ORDERED that our institution decision is modified to include review
`of all challenged claims and all grounds presented in the Petition; and
`FURTHER ORDERED that Petitioner and Patent Owner shall confer
`to determine whether they desire any additional briefing, and, if so, shall
`request a conference call with the panel to seek authorization for such
`briefing within one week of the date of this Order.
