`
`
`On October 24, 2017, the Board instituted inter partes review of
`claims 1–6 of U.S. Patent No. 6,345,779 B1 in this proceeding. Paper 7. On
`April 20, 2018, Patent Owner filed a request for adverse judgment, and
`moved for cancellation of claims 1–6. Paper 19; see 37 C.F.R. § 42.73(b).
`Petitioner has not filed an opposition, and we see no compelling reason not
`to grant the request.
`
`It is
`ORDERED that Patent Owner’s request for adverse judgment under
`37 C.F.R. § 42.73(b) with respect to claims 1–6 of U.S. Patent No.
`6,345,779 B1 is granted;
`FURTHER ORDERED that claims 1–6 of U.S. Patent No. 6,345,779
`B1 are unpatentable;
`FURTHER ORDERED that, because this Decision is final, a party to
`the proceeding seeking judicial review of the Decision must comply with the
`notice and service requirements of 37 C.F.R. § 90.2.
