`Patent 8,934,535 B2
`
`
`On January 31, 2019, the Board instituted an inter partes review of claims
`1–6, 8–12, and 14 of U.S. Patent No. 8,934,535 B2 in the present proceeding.
`Paper 9. On August 13, 2019, the Board joined Petitioners from proceedings
`IPR2019-00748 and IPR2019-00760 to the present proceeding. Paper 24, 6–7;
`Paper 25, 6.
`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 adjust the time periods in this paragraph in the case of joinder
`under section 315(c).” The Director has delegated the authority to adjust the one-
`year period to the Board. 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 . . . adjusted by the Board in the case of
`joinder.
`In accordance with 37 C.F.R. § 42.100(c), the Board adjusts the time of
`pendency before the Board in the present proceeding, which involves joinder, to
`permit the Board to consider and determine the pending issues. The Board shall
`issue a Final Written Decision in this proceeding no later than February 28, 2020.
`It is
`ORDERED that the time of pendency in this proceeding, which involves
`joinder, is adjusted; and
`FURTHER ORDERED that the Board shall issue a Final Written Decision
`in this proceeding no later than February 28, 2020.
