`BOEHRINGER INGELHEIM INTERNATIONAL GMBH
`Patent Owner
`
`Case No.: IPR2016-01564
`Patent No.: 8,846,695
`
`PATENT OWNER’S REQUEST FOR ADVERSE JUDGMENT
`
`UNDER 37 C.F.R. § 42.73(b)(2)
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Patent Owner’s Request for Adverse Judgment under 37 C.F.R. § 42.73(b)(2): IPR2016-01564
`
`The Board instituted review in the above-captioned proceeding for claims 1-
`
`4 of U.S. Patent No. 8,846,695. Paper 17 (Institution Decision) at 11-12.
`
`“A party may request judgment against itself at any time during a
`
`proceeding.” 37 C.F.R. § 42.73(b)(2). Accordingly, Patent Owner Boehringer
`
`Ingelheim International GMBH respectfully requests judgment against itself and
`
`asks that the Board cancel the instituted claims (claims 1-4) and enter adverse
`
`judgment against it. Patent Owner’s cancellation of the instituted claims is not an
`
`admission regarding the merits of Petitioners’ position that the claims are invalid
`
`and/or that the asserted references taken alone, or in combination, teach or suggest
`
`all the limitations of the claims.
`
`In view of the requested cancellation of the claims of the ’695 patent upon
`
`which trial was instituted, Patent Owner respectfully requests that the PTAB enter
`
`an adverse judgment against Patent Owner and terminate this proceeding pursuant
`
`to 37 C.F.R. § 42.73(b)(2).
