`
`As authorized by the Board during the conference call held with counsel for
`
`Patent Owner Blue Origin LLC and Petitioner Space Exploration Technologies
`
`Corp. on June 30, 2015, Patent Owner Blue Origin LLC hereby requests that the
`
`Board enter an adverse judgment against Patent Owner in this proceeding pursuant
`
`to 37 C.F.R. § 42.73(b)(2).
`
`
`
`The Board initiated trial in the above-captioned proceeding for claims 1-13.
`
`These claims are all of the claims for which the present inter partes review has
`
`been instituted. (IPR2014-01376, Paper 7, p. 2.)
`
`
`
`The rules state “[a] party may request judgment against itself at any time
`
`during a proceeding. Actions construed to be a request for adverse judgment
`
`include…[c]ancellation … of a claim such that the party has no remaining claim in
`
`the trial.” 37 C.F.R. § 42.73(b)(2). Accordingly, Patent Owner Blue Origin LLC
`
`respectfully asks that the Board cancel claims 1-13 of U.S. Patent No. 8,678,321
`
`and enter an adverse judgment.
