“Our rules state that “disclaimer of a claim such that a party has no remaining claim in the trial” is “construed to be a request for adverse judgment.” 37 C.F.R. § 42.73(b). Patent Owner disclaimed all of the claims of the ’932 patent, and no claims remain in this proceeding. Therefore, adverse judgment is appropriate. See id.; see also Arthrex, Inc. v. Smith & Nephew, Inc., 880 F.3d 1345, 1349 (Fed. Cir. 2018) (“[Rule 42.73(b)] gives the Board authority to construe a patent owner’s actions as a request for an adverse judgment.”).” slip op. at 3

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.
