`Patent 8,698,558 B2
`
`Petitioner filed a Petition requesting inter partes review of claims 15–
`20 of U.S. Patent No. 8,698,558 B2. On February 6, 2019, the Board
`instituted trial. Paper 9. The one-year period normally available to issue a
`Final Written Decision expires on February 6, 2020.
`Pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 316(a)(11), “the final determination in an
`inter partes review [shall] be issued not later than 1 year after the date on
`which the Director notices the institution of a review under this chapter,
`except that the Director may, for good cause shown, extend the 1-year
`period by not more than 6 months . . . .” The Director has delegated the
`authority to extend the one-year period to the Chief Administrative Patent
`Judge. See 37 C.F.R. § 42.100(c). In particular, 37 C.F.R. § 42.100(c)
`provides:
`An inter partes review proceeding shall be administered such
`that pendency before the Board after institution is normally no
`more than one year. The time can be extended by up to six
`months for good cause by the Chief Administrative Patent
`Judge . . . .
`In accordance with 37 C.F.R. § 42.100(c), the Chief Administrative
`Patent Judge has determined that good cause exists to extend the one-year
`period for issuing a Final Written Decision here. Paper 28; 37 C.F.R.
`§ 42.100(c). Accordingly, the time to administer the present proceeding is
`extended by up to six months.
`It is:
`ORDERED that good cause exists to extend the time of pendency in
`this proceeding; and
`FURTHER ORDERED that this proceeding is extended by up to six
`months.
