`

`OPPOSITION TO MOTION TO STAY
`
`Petitioner’s motion to stay asks the Board to exceed its authority, violate its
`
`SOP, and ignore the Federal Circuit’s clear mandate. A stay would also unfairly
`
`prejudice PI. Petitioner’s motion should be denied.
`
`I.
`
`Petitioner’s Stay Motion is Precluded by the Mandate
`
`The mandates in the present cases are very specific and narrow: “For the
`
`foregoing reasons, we vacate the Board’s final written decision and remand for the
`
`Board to dismiss IPR2016-00809.” (Opinion in IPR2016-00809 at 22 (emphasis
`
`added); see also Opinions in IPR2016-00995, -01589 and -01597 (same).) This
`
`language does not permit the Board to take any other action.
`
`If the plain language of the mandates were not enough, ON even advanced
`
`the same argument to the Federal Circuit that it does here: that the Supreme Court
`
`in Click-to-Call might change the law. (Ex. 2074 – Petition.) The Federal Circuit
`
`considered this argument and denied ON’s petitions for rehearing. (Ex. 2075 –
`
`Order Denying Petition.) Thereafter, ON did not seek to stay the mandates, which
`
`issued. The Board has denied stays under similar circumstances. For example, in
`
`Google, Inc. v. Unwired Planet, Case CBM2014–00006 (May 31, 2017), the Board
`
`denied a stay based upon speculation that the Supreme Court might change the law
`
`after the Federal Circuit denied rehearing. The Board should do the same here.

`

`OPPOSITION TO MOTION TO STAY
`
`II.
`
`Petitioner’s Stay Motion is Inconsistent with the Board’s SOP
`
` The Board’s SOP 9 states “proceedings on remand generally will not be
`
`stayed once the Federal Circuit has issued its mandate, even when a party has
`
`petitioned the Supreme Court for a writ of certiorari.” SOP 9 at 16 (emphasis
`
`added); accord, Board Trial Guide (July 2019 update at 48). The presumption is
`
`thus against stays when a party requests certiorari. The only recognized exception
`
`is when “the Supreme Court’s judgment would impact the Board’s decision on
`
`remand.” SOP 9 at 17. Here, the Federal Circuit has not authorized the Board to
`
`make any decision on remand, so Click-to-Call cannot impact the Board’s analysis.
`
`The present case is like the SAP case cited by the SOP (which denied a stay),
`
`and unlike the Shaw case cited by the SOP (which granted a stay). Shaw was
`
`stayed because the Board found that the Supreme Court decision might affect the
`
`issue before it: the scope of a particular prior art reference. Shaw, Case IPR2013-
`
`00132 (Oct. 14, 2016) at 2. By contrast, SAS was not stayed because the Board
`
`found that the issue before the Supreme Court (partial institution) would not affect
`
`the issue before the Board on remand (whether a claim was unpatentable given the
`
`Fed Cir’s construction of a particular claim term). SAS, Case IPR2013-00226
`
`(Dec. 15, 2016) at 2-3.
`
`In other cases, the Board has consistently denied stays based on speculation
`
`that the Supreme Court might change the law. One notable example occurred
`
`2
`
`

`

`OPPOSITION TO MOTION TO STAY
`
`when the Supreme Court was deciding whether IPRs were constitutional in Oil
`
`States. In response, the Board denied all requested stays. E.g., Apotex Inc. v.
`
`Novartis AG, Case IPR2017–00854 (August 30, 2017) (“the outcome of the
`
`Supreme Court’s decision is too speculative to overcome our mandate to ‘secure
`
`the just, speedy, and inexpensive resolution of every proceeding.’”); accord, Husky
`
`Injection Molding Systems Ltd. v. Plastics Engineering & Technical Systems, Inc.,
`
`Cases IPR2016–00431, IPR2016–00432, and IPR2016–00433 (June 14, 2017).
`
`The same thing happened after the Federal Circuit’s decision in Wi-Fi One. E.g.,
`
`Google, Inc. v. Unwired Planet, Case CBM2014–00006 (May 31, 2017).
`
`Here, there is no issue before the Board requiring a decision, so the Supreme
`
`Court’s decision in Click-to-Call cannot affect the Board’s analysis. Petitioner’s
`
`argument that the Federal Circuit might recall its mandates, allowing the Board to
`
`make other decisions in the future, is pure speculation. If Petitioner wished to
`
`recall the mandates, it should have filed a motion with the Federal Circuit.
`
`In addition, if the Board complies with the mandates and dismisses the IPRs
`
`at issue without delay, there is no risk of wasted work. The present cases will be
`
`final regardless of what happens in Click-to-Call. Petitioner cites no authority for
`
`its assertion that these IPRs might be “reinstated,” and there is none. This is the
`
`same as any other case which is decided before a change in the law.
