`Patent 9,868,073 B2
`
`
`Petitioner filed a Motion for Joinder to Related Inter Partes Review of
`U.S. Patent No. 9,868,073 ([Mattel, Inc. v. Spin Master Ltd.,] Case No.
`IPR2018-01673) Under 35 U.S.C. § 315(c) and 37 C.F.R. § 42.122(b).
`Paper 3 (“Mot.”). Patent Owner also filed an Opposition to Petitioner’s
`Motion for Joinder with IPR2018-01673. Paper 7 (“Opp.”). Petitioner
`thereafter filed a Reply to Patent Owner’s Opposition. Paper 8 (“Reply to
`Opp.”).
`As recognized by Petitioner, IPR2018-01673 has been terminated as
`to the only parties in the proceeding. See Reply to Opp. 5 (stating that the
`“Board then terminated the instituted Mattel IPRs as to both Mattel and Spin
`Master”) (citing IPR2018-01672, Paper 13). Because the proceeding which
`Petitioner seeks to join has been terminated and is no longer pending before
`the Board, we deny Petitioner’s Motion for Joinder.
`Order
`In consideration of the foregoing, it is hereby:
`ORDERED that Petitioner’s Motion for Joinder is denied.
