On May 16, 2025, Patent Owner filed a Request For Adverse Judgment stating that Patent Owner “requests judgment against itself under 37 C.F.R. § 42.73(b)(2), with respect to claims 1-12” of the ’574 patent. Paper 14, 2. Such a “disclaimer is binding upon the grantee and its successors or assigns.” 37 C.F.R. § 1.321(a).

See Arthrex, Inc. v. Smith & Nephew, Inc., 880 F.3d 1345, 1350 (Fed. Cir. 2018) (“there is no claim remaining for trial . . . when, as here, all of the challenged claims have been cancelled”). For the reasons given above, we grant Patent Owner’s Request for Adverse Judgment pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.73(b)(2). ORDER In consideration of the foregoing, it is hereby: ORDERED that Patent Owner’s Request for Adverse Judgment pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.73(b)(2) is granted; and FURTHER ORDERED that adverse judgment is entered against Patent Owner with respect to claims 1–12 of the ’574 patent.” slip op. at 2
