`
`Case IPR2016-01053
`Patent 8,879,987 B1
`_______________
`
`
`
`PATENT OWNER’S REQUEST FOR ADVERSE JUDGMENT
`UNDER 37 C.F.R. §42.73(b)(2)
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`

`
`
`
`
`
`The Board instituted review in the above-captioned proceeding for claims 1-
`
`5, 12-17, and 19 of U.S. Patent No. 8,879,987. Paper 6 (Institution Decision) at 14.
`
`“A party may request judgment against itself at any time during a
`
`proceeding.” 37 C.F.R. §42.73(b)(2). Accordingly, Patent Owner Sockeye
`
`Licensing TX, LLC respectfully requests judgment against itself and asks that the
`
`Board cancel the instituted claims (claims 1-5, 12-17, and 19) and enter adverse
`
`judgment against it. Patent Owner’s cancellation of the instituted claims is not an
`
`admission regarding the merits of Petitioners’ position that the claims are invalid
`
`and/or that the asserted references taken alone, or in combination, teach or suggest
`
`all the limitations of the claims.
`
`In view of the requested cancellation of the claims of the ’987 patent upon
`
`which trial was instituted, Patent Owner respectfully requests that the PTAB enter
`
`an adverse judgment against Patent Owner and terminate this proceeding pursuant
`
`to 37 C.F.R. §42.73(b)(2).
