`
`
`ANALYSIS
`I.
`During the oral hearing in this proceeding, Patent Owner notified us
`for the first time that the patent at issue in this proceeding, U.S. Patent No.
`8,902,760 B2 (“the ’760 patent”), also was the subject of an ex parte
`reexamination. Paper 62, 2; Paper 63, 226:11–228:12. After the oral
`hearing, Patent Owner notified us that an Ex Parte Reexamination
`Certificate had issued for the ’760 patent on September 18, 2017. Paper 64,
`1. The Ex Parte Reexamination Certificate indicates that certain claims of
`the ’760 patent at issue in this proceeding were amended during the ex parte
`reexamination. Ex. 2056, 1:23–2:4. As a result, we seek additional briefing
`from the parties addressing what impact the amendments made during the ex
`parte reexamination have on this proceeding.
`Specifically, the parties should address the following issues:
`1) whether we should issue a final written decision with respect to the
`amended claims or terminate this proceeding as to the amended claims; and
`2) whether the limitation added to the amended claims was addressed by the
`parties in the Petition and the Patent Owner Response in this proceeding,
`and, if so, where that limitation was addressed in those papers. The parties
`also should identify any authority that supports their positions. The parties
`are not authorized to submit any additional evidence with the requested
`briefing. To the extent a party does not address any of the issues set forth
`above, that party will be considered to have waived any arguments relating
`to that issue in this proceeding.

`with the requested briefing.
