`SUPPLEMENT TO
`SCHEDULING ORDER FOLLOWING REMAND
`
`
`
`1 This Order applies to each of the above captioned proceedings. Unless
`specifically authorized by the Board, the parties are not authorized to use
`this style of filing.

`
`
`On March 28, 2024, we issued a Scheduling Order pursuant to the
`Director’s Review Decision vacating the Board’s Final Written Decisions
`and remanding these three cases to the Board Panel for further proceedings
`consistent with the Director’s Review Decision. See Paper 52 (“Remand
`Scheduling Order”).2 The Remand Scheduling Order did not provide a
`specific date “setting forth the date by which a decision on remand will
`issue.” See Revised Interim Director Review Process (available at
`www.uspto.gov/patents/ptab/decisions/revised-interim-director-review-
`process). 3 Because our Remand Scheduling Order did not provide the
`required “date by which a decision on remand will issue,” we now provide
`
`
`2 Unless otherwise noted, all citations are to papers and exhibits in IPR2022-
`01006. The same Order was filed in each of IPR2022-01045 and IPR2022-
`01089.
`3 Section 5.A.ii.(e) of the Revised Interim Director Review Process states:
`In cases where the Director remands a decision to the Board for
`further proceedings, absent a due date specified in the Director’s
`remand order or extension thereof, the Board has established a
`goal to issue decisions in cases remanded from the Director as
`soon as possible. Even for the most complex records, for
`example, those that may require additional discovery, briefing,
`and/or an oral hearing, the Board’s goal is to issue the decision
`within six months of the date of the remand unless a due date is
`specified in the remand order. Accord SOP 3 (rev 2, formerly
`SOP 9): Procedure for Decisions Remanded from the Federal
`Circuit for Further Proceedings. The procedure and pace of a
`remand will vary depending on the type of case, the legal and
`factual issues involved, the specific instructions from the
`Director, and any other particular circumstances of the case.
`Upon remand, the Board will issue an order setting forth the date
`by which a decision on remand will issue (emphasis added).

`issue on or before September 15, 2024.
