`IPR2017-00381
`Patent 7,886,122 B2
`
`
`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, 2018 WL 1914661, at *10 (U.S. Apr.
`24, 2018). In our Decision on Institution, we determined that Petitioner
`demonstrated a reasonable likelihood that it would establish that at least one
`of the challenged claims of U.S. Patent No 7,886,122 B2 is unpatentable.
`Paper 9. We modify our Decision on Institution to institute on all the
`challenged claims and all the grounds presented in the IPR2017-00381
`Petition (Paper 2). See Guidance on the Impact of SAS on AIA Trial
`Proceedings (April 26, 2018), available at https://www.uspto.gov/patents-
`application-process/patent-trial-and-appeal-board/trials/guidance-impact-
`sas-aia-trial.
`On May 2, 2018, a conference call was held with Judges Medley,
`Parvis, and Ullagaddi and counsel for the parties in attendance. The call was
`held to give the parties an opportunity to discuss the impact of SAS with
`respect to the instant proceedings. Following the call, on May 4, 2018, we
`issued an Order authorizing the parties to file, no later than Tuesday May 8,
`2018, a joint written request regarding the non-instituted ground. Paper 33.
`On May 8, 2018, the parties submitted a joint request for additional
`briefing. Paper 34. In particular, the parties have agreed that Patent Owner
`should have five (5) pages of additional briefing and Petitioner should have
`three (3) pages of responsive briefing. Id.
`We authorize Patent Owner to file a supplemental brief in the instant
`proceeding due May 18, 2018, limited to five (5) pages, and including only
`arguments regarding the previously non-instituted, second ground—namely,
`the following ground: claims 2–4, 10–12, 17–19, 21–23, and 25–28 are

`

`

`IPR2017-00381
`Patent 7,886,122 B2
`
`unpatentable under § 103(a) as obvious over Lee. We also authorize
`Petitioner to file a supplemental responsive brief in the instant proceeding
`due May 25, 2018, limited to three (3) pages, and including only arguments
`responsive to Patent Owner’s aforementioned submission.
`Accordingly, it is hereby:
`ORDERED that our Decision on Institution (Paper 9) is
`modified to include review of all challenged claims and all grounds
`presented in the IPR2017-00381 Petition (Paper 2);
`FURTHER ORDERED that Patent Owner is authorized to file a
`supplemental brief due May 18, 2018, limited to five (5) pages, and
`including only arguments regarding the second ground—namely, the
`following ground: claims 2–4, 10–12, 17–19, 21–23, and 25–28 are
`unpatentable under § 103(a) as obvious over Lee; and
`FURTHER ORDERED that Petitioner is authorized to file a
`supplemental responsive brief in the instant proceeding due May 25, 2018,
`limited to three (3) pages, and including only arguments responsive to Patent
`Owner’s submission.
