`Patent 9,463,183
`
`
`In this post grant review of claims 1–13 (all claims) of U.S. Patent
`No. 9,453,183, Petitioner pursues a challenge based on obviousness under
`35 U.S.C. § 103. See Paper 1, 54–81 (petition); Paper 8 (institution
`decision); Paper 17 (order modifying institution decision); Paper 18 (parties’
`joint request to remove from dispute two grounds based on 35 U.S.C.
`§ 112); see also Order (entered concurrently herewith, granting parties’ joint
`request to remove from dispute the two grounds based on 35 U.S.C. § 112).
`On February 20, 2018, Patent Owner filed a Request for Rehearing of
`our decision instituting a post grant review. Paper 11. On April 16, 2018,
`the parties filed a Joint Motion for Adverse Judgment. Paper 16 (“Joint
`Motion”). In the Joint Motion, Patent Owner informed the Board that, in the
`event that we grant the Joint Motion and terminate the proceeding, Patent
`Owner “considers its request for rehearing to be moot and withdraws its
`request.” Id. at 1. Concurrently herewith, we issue a Judgment and Final
`Written Decision that grants the Joint Motion and terminates the proceeding.
`Accordingly, on this record, we dismiss Patent Owner’s Request for
`Rehearing (Paper 11) as moot.
`
`It is
`ORDERED that Patent Owner’s Request for Rehearing (Paper 11) is
`dismissed as moot.
