`
`Security Systems, Inc.] the opportunity to request Director rehearing of the final
`written decision . . . within 30 days from the date of [its] order.” Document
`Security Sys., Inc. v. Seoul Semiconductor Co., Ltd., No. 19-2281, ECF No. 42, at 2
`(Fed. Cir. Nov. 9, 2021). Under the Federal Circuit’s Order, Patent Owner’s
`request for Director review of the Board’s final written decision was due on
`December 9, 2021.
`Patent Owner did not file a Director review request by December 9, 2021, or
`at any time prior to the date of this Order. Patent Owner, therefore, has forfeited
`any request for Director review in this case.
`Accordingly, it is:
`ORDERED that Patent Owner has forfeited any request for Director review;
`
`and
`
`FURTHER ORDERED that the Board’s final written decision in this case
`remains the final agency decision.
