`NOTICE
`Notice of Disposition of Sealed Final Written Decision
`Determining All Challenged Claims Unpatentable
`35 U.S.C. § 318(a)
`
`On June 15, 2022, we issued a non-public version (Paper 68) of a
`Final Written Decision under 35 U.S.C. § 318(a) determining that claims 1–
`8 of U.S. Patent No. 8,812,993 B2 (Ex. 1001) are unpatentable under 35
`U.S.C. § 103(a). A public version will issue in due course.

`
`
`IPR2021-00145
`Patent 8,812,993 B2
`
`
`In particular, we determine that claims 1–3, 7, and 8 would have been
`obvious over Hisatomi (Ex. 1005) and Ren (Ex. 1006); that claim 4 would
`have been obvious over Hisatomi, Ren, and Allard-656 (Ex. 1007); that
`claim 5 would have been obvious over Hisatomi, Ren, and Tanaka
`(Ex. 1008); and that claim 6 would have been obvious over Hisatomi, Ren,
`and Kodama (Ex. 1016).
`The following table summarizes these determinations:

`Outcome
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`1 As explained in the Final Written Decision, we do not reach any grounds
`based on Hansen and Gillespie because we conclude that all challenged
`claims are unpatentable on other grounds.
