`Conduct of the Proceeding
`37 C.F.R. § 42.5

`
`
`Under 35 U.S.C. § 316(a)(11), “the final determination in an inter
`partes review [shall] be issued not later than 1 year after the date on which
`the Director notices the institution of a review under this chapter, except that
`the Director . . . may adjust the time periods in this paragraph in the case of
`joinder under section 315(c).” The Director has delegated the authority to
`adjust the one-year period to the Board. See 37 C.F.R. § 42.100(c). In
`particular, 37 C.F.R. § 42.100(c) provides:
`An inter partes review proceeding shall be administered such
`that pendency before the Board after institution is normally no
`more than one year. The time can be . . . adjusted by the Board
`in the case of joinder.
`Acer Inc., Acer America Corporation, ASUSTek Computer Inc.,
`ASUS Computer International, and Google Inc. filed the Petition in this
`proceeding (Paper 2), and we later joined Microsoft Corporation and
`Microsoft Mobile Inc. to this proceeding under 35 U.S.C. § 315(c)
`(Paper 17). In accordance with 37 C.F.R. § 42.100(c), we hereby adjust the
`time period for a final determination in this proceeding, which involves
`joinder, to permit us to consider and determine the pending issues. We will
`issue a final determination by September 28, 2018.
