`References
`
`Today, we issued a non-public version of a Final Written Decision
`under 35 U.S.C. § 318(a) and 37 C.F.R. § 42.73. Paper 87. For the reasons
`discussed in the Final Written Decision (a public version of which will issue
`in due course), we concluded that Petitioner shows, by a preponderance of
`the evidence, that (1) the Petition is not barred by 35 U.S.C. §§ 312(a)(2) or
`315(b), as alleged by Patent Owner in its First Motion to Terminate;
`(2) claims 10 and 12 of U.S. Patent No. 8,552,978 patent are unpatentable;
`and (3) Patent Owner’s proposed amended claims are unpatentable. We also
`deny Patent Owner’s Second Motion to Terminate.
