`ORDER
`Conduct of the Proceeding
`37 C.F.R. § 42.5
`
`On April 24, 2018, the Supreme Court held that a decision to institute
`under 35 U.S.C. § 314 may not institute on less than all claims challenged in
`the petition. SAS Inst., Inc. v. Iancu, 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 ’518 Patent is unpatentable. Paper 10. We
`
`
`
`IPR2017-01639
`Patent 8,967,844 B2
`modify our institution decision to include all of the challenged claims and all
`of the grounds presented in the Petition. See Guidance on the Impact of SAS
`on AIA Trial Proceedings (April 26, 2018), available at
`https://www.uspto.gov/patents-application-process/patent-trial-and-appeal-
`board/trials/guidance-impact-sas-aia-trial.
`The parties shall confer to discuss the impact, if any, of this Order on
`the current schedule. If, after conferring, the parties wish to change the
`schedule or submit further 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 changes or 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 changes to the schedule or any further
`briefing, and, if so, shall request a conference call with the panel to seek
`authorization for such changes or briefing within one week of the date of this
`Order.
