`
`Case No. IPR2019-00438
`
`Patent 9,639,876
`
`Given the Board’s institution of a related proceeding (IPR2018-01011)
`
`brought by Shopify, Inc., and based on the representations by Petitioner
`
`(Priceline.com LLC and Booking.com B.V.) that (1) Petitioner has chosen to
`
`decline to raise any grounds of invalidity beyond those in the corresponding
`
`Shopify IPR, (2) Petitioner agrees to an understudy role and will present no other
`
`filings or oral arguments beyond Shopify’s unless Shopify withdraws, and (3) as a
`
`result Patent Owner will not need to respond to any additional papers or
`
`arguments, Patent Owner hereby waives its Patent Owner Preliminary Response
`
`pursuant to 37 CFR 42.107(b) and consents to Petitioner’s Motion for Joinder.
`
`Nevertheless, Patent Owner maintains that the petitions do not show that the patent
`
`is invalid, for the reasons given in the response to the Shopify petition, and
`
`reserves the right to maintain such arguments in the consolidated proceeding.
`
`Dated: April 11, 2019
