`
`
`
`On April 24, 2018, the Supreme Court held that a decision to institute
`under 35 U.S.C. § 314 may not institute on less than all claims challenged in
`the petition. SAS Inst. Inc. v. Iancu, No. 16-969, 2018 WL 1914661, at *10
`(U.S. Apr. 24, 2018). In our Decisions on Institution, we determined that
`Petitioner demonstrated a reasonable likelihood that it would establish that at
`least one of the challenged claims of the ’332 patent, ’883 patent, and
`’134 patent is unpatentable. Paper 8, 2, 37–38 (IPR2017-00350); Paper 8, 2,
`31–32 (IPR2017-00351); Paper 8, 2, 34–35 (IPR2017-00352). We modify
`our institution decisions to institute on all of the challenged claims and all of
`the grounds presented in the Petitions.
`The parties shall confer to discuss the impact, if any, of this Order. If,
`after conferring, the parties wish to submit further briefing or argument, the
`parties must, within one week of the date of this Order, request a conference
`call with the panel to seek authorization.
`In consideration of the foregoing, it is hereby:
`ORDERED that our Decisions on Institution are modified to include
`review of all challenged claims and all grounds presented in the Petitions;
`and
`
`FURTHER ORDERED that Petitioner and Patent Owner shall confer
`to determine whether they desire any further briefing or argument, and, if so,
`shall request a conference call with the panel to seek authorization within
`one week of the date of this Order.
