Paper 11, 1. Having reviewed Patent Owner’s unopposed request for adverse judgment, we determine that entry of judgment against Patent Owner is appropriate. Thus, we grant the request for adverse judgment pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.73(b). III. ORDER Accordingly, it is ORDERED that adverse judgment is entered against Patent Owner and this inter partes review is terminated pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.73(b).” slip op. at 2

Holdings, summaries, rulings, issues, outcomes, winners and claim constructions shown for a decision were generated by a large language model reading the opinion. They are a guide to the decision, not the decision. Confirm every one against the court's own text before relying on it. Outcomes read from the patent owner’s side. Party names are extracted from the decision and are missing on about 900 short Director denials and scans, which carry the trial number instead.
