`
`Pursuant to our Order regarding SAS Institute Inc. v. Iancu, No. 16-
`969, 2018 WL 1914661 (U.S. Apr. 24, 2018), the parties confirm, in an
`email dated May 9, 2018, that they reached an agreement to withdraw the
`grounds upon which we did not institute review, and they request
`authorization to submit a Joint Motion to Limit the Petition in each of these
`proceedings. See Paper 37 (IPR2017-00350); Paper 37 (IPR2017-00351);
`Paper 38 (IPR2017-00352); see also Paper 8, 2, 37–38 (instituting on all
`claims but not all grounds in IPR2017-00350); Paper 8, 2, 31–32 (instituting
`on all claims but not all grounds in IPR2017-00351); Paper 8, 2, 34–35
`(instituting on all claims but not all grounds in IPR2017-00352). The panel
`appreciates the parties’ efforts to reach agreement.
`Therefore, it is hereby:
`ORDERED that the parties’ request for authorization to file a Joint
`Motion to Limit the Petition in each of these proceedings by withdrawing
`grounds is granted; and
`FURTHER ORDERED that each Joint Motion to Limit the Petition
`must be filed within one week of the date of this Order and is limited to ten
