`ORDER
`Conduct of the Proceeding
`37 C.F.R. § 42.5
`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
`
`
`
`IPR2018-00013
`Patent 8,284,844 B2
`
`
`demonstrated a reasonable likelihood that it would establish that at least one
`of the challenged claims of the ’844 patent is unpatentable. Paper 16, 28.
`We modify our institution decision to institute on all of the challenged
`claims and all of the grounds presented in the Petition. Paper 1, 4–5.
`The parties shall confer to discuss the impact, if any, of this Order on
`the current schedule. If, after conferring, the parties wish to otherwise
`change the schedule or submit further briefing, 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 our Decision on Institution (Paper 16) is modified to
`include review of all challenged claims and all grounds presented in the
`Petition — namely, the following grounds:
`(1) claims 1−14 as anticipated under § 102(b) by Fandrianto ’459;
`(2) claims 11–14 as unpatentable under § 103(a) over Fandrianto ’459
`in view of Fandrianto ’842;
`(3) claims 1–4, 6–11, 13, and 14 as anticipated under § 102(a) or
`§ 102(e) by Fandrianto ’842; and
`(4) claims 5 and 12 as unpatentable under § 103(a) over Fandrianto
`’842 in view of Fandrianto ’459;
`FURTHER ORDERED that Petitioner and Patent Owner shall confer
`to determine whether they desire any changes to the schedule or any further
`briefing, and, if so, shall request a conference call with the panel to seek
`authorization for such changes or briefing within one week of the date of this
`Order.
