`
`I.
`
`Patent Owner Failed To File A Patent Owner Response; Adverse
`Judgment Should Be Entered
`On December 1, 2020, trial was instituted in the present case based on the
`
`following grounds:
`
`Claims Challenged
`
`Ground Type
`
`Reference(s)
`
`8-10, 12, 14
`
`1, 3, 9, 11
`

`
`
`Paper 6 at 11, 57.

`
`35 U.S.C. § 103(a)
`
`Moore, Duron
`
`35 U.S.C. § 103(a)
`
`Bakhtiar, Duron
`
`The Scheduling Order set Due Date 1 for the Patent Owner Response for
`
`February 23, 2021. Paper 7 at 11. Patent Owner did not file a Response. Despite
`
`Board direction stating, “If Patent Owner elects not to file a response, Patent Owner
`
`must arrange a conference call with the parties and the Board,” Patent Owner did not
`
`arrange for such a call. Id., 8.
`
`Because Patent Owner has abandoned the contest, Petitioner respectfully
`
`requests that the panel enter adverse judgment against the Patent Owner under 37
`
`C.F.R. § 42.73(b)(4). Knappco Corporation v. CHS Inc., IPR2016-00342, Paper 11

`(Oct. 4, 2016).
