`IPR2018-00682 (Patent 6,931,084 B1)
`IPR2018-00689 (Patent 6,993,084 B1)
`IPR2018-00690 (Patent 6,314,289 B1)
`
`
`In each of the above captioned cases, Sirius XM Radio Inc. (“Petitioner”)
`
`filed a Request for Rehearing of our decision denying institution of inter partes
`
`review based on Petitioner’s failure to identify Sirius XM Holdings as a real party
`
`in interest (RPI). We invite Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft zur Förderung der
`
`angewandten Forschung e.V (“Patent Owner”) to file a response to Petitioner’s
`
`rehearing requests. Should it wish to file a response to Petitioner’s rehearing
`
`requests, we encourage Patent Owner to address the Board’s Institution Decision in
`
`Google LLC v. Seven Networks, LLC, Case No. IPR2018-01117, Paper No. 20
`
`(November 19, 2018). In particular, we encourage Patent Owner to address
`
`whether the Google panel’s framework for determining whether a party is an RPI
`
`is correct, and, in any case, whether Sirius XM Holdings meets the RPI criteria set
`
`forth in that decision. If it wishes to file a Response, Patent Owner should file the
`
`same paper in each of the four cases captioned above. In addition, Patent Owner’s
`
`Response should be limited to no more than 10 pages, and should be filed no later
`
`than three weeks from the entry date of this order.
`
`
`
`SO ORDERED.
