`
`§42.73 Judgment.
`(a) A judgment, except in the case of a termination, disposes of all issues that were, or by motion
`reasonably could have been, raised and decided.
`
`(b) Request for adverse judgment. A party may request judgment against itself at any time during a
`proceeding. Actions construed to be a request for adverse judgment include:
`(1) Disclaimer of the involved application or patent;
`(2) Cancellation or disclaimer of a claim such that the party has no remaining claim in the trial;
`(3) Concession of unpatentability or derivation of the contested subject matter; and
`(4) Abandonment of the contest.
`
`(d) Estoppel. …
`(3) Patent applicant or owner. A patent applicant or owner is precluded from taking action
`inconsistent with the adverse judgment, including obtaining in any patent:
`(i) A claim that is not patentably distinct from a finally refused or canceled claim; or
`(ii) An amendment of a specification or of a drawing that was denied during the trial
`proceeding, but this provision does not apply to an application or patent that has a different
`written description.
