Patent 6,188,756 B1

2
On October 15, 2015, we instituted inter partes review on claim 8 of
U.S. Patent No. 6,188,756 (“the ’756 patent”). Paper 10. Patent Owner, on
November 19, 2015, requested “cancellation of all claims for which trial was
instituted in this proceeding.” Paper 14. Petitioner filed a paper, on
November 25, 2015, to indicate that it does not oppose Patent Owner’s
requested cancellation of claim 8. Paper 15.
Per 37 C.F.R. § 42.73(b)(2), among the actions construed to be a
request for entry of adverse judgment is the cancellation of a claim such that
the party has no remaining claim in the trial. Because Patent Owner requests
cancellation of all claims for which trial was instituted, we construe the
request as a request for entry of adverse judgment.
Patent Owner’s request is granted.
ORDER
It is
ORDERED that judgment is herein entered against the Patent Owner;
FURTHER ORDERED that claim 8 of the ’756 patent will be
cancelled; and
FURTHER ORDERED that this is a Final Written Decision under
35 U.S.C. § 318(a) and that parties to the proceeding seeking judicial review
of the decision must comply with the notice and service requirements of
37 C.F.R. § 90.2.
