On January 28, 2016, we issued a set of Orders staying certain Requests for Certificates of Correction filed by Patent Owner with respect to
IPR2016-00155, IPR2016-00161, and IPR2016-00173 (Patents 6,147,601, 6,462,654 B1, 6,535,123 B2, and 6,717,513 B1) U.S. Patent Nos. 6,147,601, 6,462,654 B1, 6,535,123 B2, and 6,717,513 B1, pending our decisions on institution in each of the above-identified cases.2 In a telephone conference held on May 25, 2016, we notified the parties3 of our intention to lift the stay of the Requests for Certificates of Correction, in view of the fact that decisions on institution have now been entered in each identified case.4 In the telephone conference, Petitioner initially objected to our lifting of the stay, citing its intention to request partial rehearing of our Decision on each case.
3 Petitioner was represented in the telephone conference by William Mandir, Brian Shelton, and Teena-Ann Sankoorikal; and Patent Owner was represented by Robert Sterne, Jason Eisenberg, and Joseph Mutschelknaus.
IPR2016-00155, IPR2016-00161, and IPR2016-00173 (Patents 6,147,601, 6,462,654 B1, 6,535,123 B2, and 6,717,513 B1) Institution that only granted review based on a subset of the challenged claims in Case IPR2016-00161, as well as its intention to file additional petitions for inter partes review of certain claims subject to Patent Owner’s Requests for Certificates of Correction.
Petitioner also repeated its previous position that certain changes sought in Patent Owner’s Requests for Certificates of Correction are not properly characterized as “corrections” within the meaning of 35 U.S.C. § 255.5 Patent Owner indicated that it does not oppose lifting of the stay of its Requests for Certificates of Correction.
