`
`
`PATENT OWNER’S REQUEST FOR ADVERSE JUDGMENT
`UNDER 37 C.F.R. § 42.73(b)(2)
`
`
`
`
`
`
`IPR2019-00761
`
`The Board instituted review in the above-captioned proceeding for
`
`claims 6 and 7 of U.S. Patent No. 9,279,259 (“the ’259 Patent”). (Paper No.
`8.)
`“A party may request judgment against itself at any time during a
`
`proceeding.” 37 C.F.R. § 42.73(b)(2). Accordingly, out of concern for
`business efficiency, Patent Owner Russo Trading Co., Inc. respectfully
`requests that the Board cancel the challenged claims 6 and 7. Patent
`Owner’s cancellation of the claims for which review was instituted is not
`an admission regarding the merits of Petitioner’s challenge or the Board’s
`decision to institute review in this proceeding.
`No other claims remain for trial, so Patent Owner further requests
`that the Board terminate this proceeding.
`
`
