`Case PGR2018-00061 (Patent 9,700,793 B2)
`On July 1, 2019, Petitioner contacted the Board seeking authorization to file
`a motion to submit supplemental information under 37 C.F.R. § 42.223.2
`Specifically, Petitioner sought to make a statement summarizing the Board’s
`application of two Federal Circuit decisions, In re Smith and In re Guldenaar, in
`two Final Written Decisions, Bally Gaming, Inc. v. New Vision Gaming &
`Development, CBM2018-00005, Paper 50 (PTAB June 19, 2019) and Bally
`Gaming, Inc. v. New Vision Gaming & Development, CBM2018-00008, Paper 47
`(PTAB June 19, 2019). Petitioner informed the Board that Patent Owner objected
`to this Motion as untimely, not in the interests of justice (as required under 37
`C.F.R. § 42.223(b)), and pertaining to non-precedential cases with different subject
`matter.
`The Federal Circuit cases have been extensively briefed by both parties. The
`Board takes notice of the Final Written Decisions. The Board is unpersuaded that
`consideration of Petitioner’s statement summary about non-precedential Board
`decisions is necessary in the interests of justice.
`For the reasons set forth above, it is
`ORDERED that Petitioner’s request for authorization to file a motion to
`submit supplemental evidence is DENIED.
`
`
`
`
`
`2 Petitioner cited 37 C.F.R. § 42.123, which is applicable to inter partes reviews.
`The corresponding rule for post-grant reviews is 37 C.F.R. § 42.223.
