`Conduct of the Proceeding

`
`
`
`IPR2017-00809
`Patent 6,703,106 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 on Institution, we determined that
`Petitioner demonstrated a reasonable likelihood that it would establish that at
`least one of the challenged claims of the ’106 patent is unpatentable. Paper
`13, 26. 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.
`If, after conferring, the parties wish to submit briefing not set forth in
`the Scheduling Order or otherwise change the schedule, 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; and
`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.
