`Conduct of the Proceeding

`IPR2017-00618
`Patent 7,355,805 B2
`
`
`
`On April 24, 2018, the Supreme Court held that a final written
`decision under 35 U.S.C. § 318(a) must decide the patentability of all claims
`challenged in the petition. SAS Inst., Inc. v. Iancu, 2018 WL 1914661,
`at *10 (U.S. Apr. 24, 2018). In our Decision Granting Petitioner’s Request
`for Rehearing and Institution of Inter Partes Review, we determined that
`Petitioner demonstrated a reasonable likelihood that it would establish that at
`least one of the challenged claims of the ’805 patent is unpatentable.
`Paper 11, 11–12. Pursuant to the holding in SAS, we modify our institution
`decision to institute on all of the challenged claims and all of the grounds
`presented in the Petition.
`The parties remain free to stipulate to changes in the schedule under
`the terms of the Scheduling Order. If, after conferring, the parties wish to
`otherwise change the schedule or submit briefing not set forth in the
`Scheduling Order, the parties must, within one week of the date of this
`Order, request a conference call with the panel to seek authorization for such
`changes or briefing.
`In consideration of the foregoing, it is hereby:
`ORDERED that, pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 314(a), we modify our
`institution decision to include review of all challenged claims and all
`grounds presented in the Petition;
`FURTHER ORDERED that Petitioner and Patent Owner shall confer
`to determine whether they desire any changes to the schedule or briefing not
`already permitted under the Scheduling Order, and, if so, request a
`conference call with the panel to seek authorization for such changes or
`briefing within one week of the date of this Order.
