Once the petitioner files its petition, it cannot raise additional grounds for review. See, e.g., SAS Inst., Inc., 825 F.3d at 1355 (Newman, J., concurring in part and dissenting in part); Amerigen Pharma Ltd., IPR2016-00286, Paper 14 at 16-17; 157 Cong. Rec. S1376; see also 37 C.F.R. § 42.104(b). Thus, even if the word “during” could be interpreted to limit the relevant timeframe to the post- institution period, the proper focus would remain on the grounds that were raised, or reasonably could have been raised, in the petition.
