`
`
`IPR2017-01394
`U.S. Patent 9,336,689
`
`
`Patent Owner hereby provides notice to the Board that a Disclaimer was
`
`filed in connection with U.S. Patent No. 9,336,689 (the “’689 Patent”). The filed
`
`Disclaimer disclaims all 20 claims (i.e., claims 1-20) of the ’689 Patent. A copy of
`
`the filed Disclaimer is submitted as Exhibit 2006.
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.73(b)(2), “[a] party may request judgment against
`
`itself at any time during a proceeding. Actions construed to be a request for
`
`adverse judgment include[,] . . . [c]ancellation or disclaimer of a claim such that
`
`the party has no remaining claim in the trial.”
`
`Patent Owner, therefore, requests adverse judgment against itself pursuant to
`
`37 C.F.R. § 42.73(b)(2) and termination of this inter partes review proceeding.

`
