`
`DISCUSSION
`
`On December 19, 2018, Petitioner BlueHouse sought authorization to
`terminate the pending proceedings in the above-referenced matters. Ex.
`3001.2 Upon further inquiry, Petitioner and Patent Owner (collectively
`referred to as “the Parties”) represented that Petitioner requests adverse
`judgment under 37 C.F.R. § 42.74 (b)(4) in each of the above identified
`proceedings and that Patent Owner does not oppose. Ex. 3002.
`On this record, we construe the parties’ email communications
`referenced above as unopposed Petitioner requests for entry of adverse
`judgment against Petitioner in the above-identified inter partes review
`proceedings. 37 C.F.R. § 42.74 (b)(4).
`These cases are in the preliminary proceeding stage; no institution of a
`trial has been made.3 Based on the facts of these cases, it is appropriate to
`enter judgment in each of the above-identified proceedings.4
`Accordingly, it is
`ORDERED that Petitioner’s requests for adverse judgment in the
`above-identified proceedings are granted;
` FURTHER ORDERED that judgment is herein entered against Petitioner
`
`2 For purposes of expediency, we cite to the communication by Petitioner
`transmitted via email by the parties on December 19, 2018. Exhibit 3001 is
`representative of the separate electronic communications submitted by
`Petitioner in each of the above-identified proceedings.
`3 A preliminary proceeding begins with the filing of a petition for instituting
`a trial and ends with a decision as to whether a trial will be instituted. 37
`C.F.R. § 42.2.
`4 A judgment means a final written decision by the Board, or a termination
`of a proceeding. 37 C.F.R. § 42.2.
