`
`Case IPR2018~01240
`
`Patent 8,698,558 B2
`
`GRANT OF GOOD CAUSE EXTENSION
`
`35 USC. § 316(a)(]]); 37 GER. § 42.10%)
`
`Pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 316(a)(l I), “the final determination in an
`
`inter partes review [shall] be issued not later than 1 year after the date on
`
`which the Director notices the institution of a review under this chapter,
`except that the Director may, for good cause shown, extend the 1-year
`
`period by not more than 6 months .
`
`.
`
`.
`
`.” The Director has delegated the
`
`authority to extendthe one-year period to the Chief Administrative Patent
`
`Judge. See 37 C.F.R. § 42.100(c). In particular, 37 C.F.R. § 42.100(c)
`
`provides:
`
`
`
`IPR2018-01240
`
`Patent 8,698,55 8 B2
`
`An inter partes review proceeding shall be administered such
`that pendency before the Board after institution is normally no
`more than one year. The time can be extended by up to six
`months for good cause by the Chief Administrative Patent
`Judge. .
`.
`.
`
`In accordance with 37 CF .R. § 42.100(c), the Chief Administrative Patent
`
`Judge has determined that good cause exists to extend the one—year period
`
`for issuing a Final Written Decision in this proceeding.
`
`The Federal Circuit recently issued a decision in Koninkly'ke Philips v.
`
`Google', No. 2019-1177, slip op. at 9—11 (Fed. Cir. Jan. 30, 2020),
`
`discussing circumstances in which the PTAB is limited to the grounds set
`
`forth in the petition.
`
`In view of the limited time before the one—year period
`
`for issuing a Final Written Decision in this proceeding, and under the unique
`
`circumstances of this case, the Chief Administrative Patent Judge has
`
`determined that good cause exists to extend the one~year period for issuing a
`
`Final Written Decision.
