`ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE
`37 C.F.R. § 42.5
`
`
`
`IPR2018-00274
`Patent 7,834,586 B2
`
`
`
`On August 29, 2018, we entered our Decision Denying Institution of
`
`Inter Partes Review in this case. Paper 17. 37 C.F.R. § 42.71(d) sets forth
`
`the requirements for a rehearing request. Any request for rehearing of our
`
`Decision is required to be filed within 30 days of the entry of the Decision.
`
`Id. Thus, a timely request for rehearing, in accordance with the
`
`requirements set forth in 37 C.F.R. § 42.71(d), should have been filed no
`
`later than September 28, 2018.
`
`On October 10, 2018, Petitioner filed a rehearing request with a legal
`
`memorandum. Paper 18. The caption of Petitioner’s request states:
`
`“Petitioner’s Request for Rehearing (originally submitted on 9/28/18).” Id.
`
`The Board’s electronic filing records do not reflect that Petitioner filed the
`
`legal memorandum on September 28, 2018.
`
`Based on the foregoing, it is hereby:
`
`ORDERED that Petitioner shall, within 3 business days of the entry of
`
`this order, file a memorandum, not to exceed 3 pages, showing cause why
`
`we should not expunge the rehearing request filed on October 10, 2018 as
`
`not timely;
`
`FURTHER ORDERED that Patent Owner may file an opposition to
`
`Petitioner’s memorandum, not to exceed 3 pages, no later than 3 business
`
`days after the filing of Petitioner’s memorandum;
`
`FURTHER ORDERED that the parties are not authorized to submit
`
`any further briefing on this issue.
