`
`Illumina, Inc. (“Illumina”) has filed a petition for IPR of U.S. Patent No.
`

`
`Patent Nos. 10,407,458; 10,407,459; and 10,457,984 are asserted in that same
`
`litigation, and Illumina has filed IPR Petitions against those patents in IPR2020-
`
`00988, IPR2020-01065, and IPR2020-01125, respectively.

`9,725,480, and 9,868,985 (“the ’852, ’139, ’358, ’480, and ’985 patents”) against

`00291, IPR2018-00318, IPR2018-00322, IPR2018-00385, and IPR2018-00797,

`
`
`
`
`IPR2020-01177

`
`decisions in Trustees of Columbia Univ. v. Illumina, Inc., 19-2302 (consolidated)
`
`(Fed. Cir.).
`
`Columbia asserted U.S. Patent Nos. 7,790,869, 7,713,698, and 8,088,575
`
`(“the ’869, ’698, and ’575 patents”) against Illumina in Trustees of Columbia Univ.

`
`subject of IPR2012-00007, IPR2012-00006, and IPR2013-00011, respectively, in
`
`which the Board held the challenged claims from the ’869, ’698, and ’575 patents
`
`unpatentable. See also Trustees of Columbia Univ. v. Illumina, Inc., 620 Fed.
`
`Appx. 916 (Fed. Cir. 2015).

`
`Illumina raised counterclaims alleging infringement of U.S. Patent Nos. 7,057,026,
`
`8,158,346, and 7,566,537. Illumina’s ’026 and ’346 patents were the subject of
`
`IPR2013-00128 and IPR2013-00266, respectively. The Board held the challenged
`
`claims unpatentable, and the Federal Circuit affirmed the Board’s decisions in
`
`Illumina Cambridge Ltd. v. Intelligent Bio-Systems, Inc., 638 Fed. Appx. 999 (Fed.
`
`Cir. 2016). Illumina’s ’537 patent was the subject of IPR2013-00517. The Board
