The Director denied institution of IPR challenging claims 1–5 and 8–16, despite finding two claims met the institution threshold, because a trial would not efficiently use Board resources.

“Petitioner’s third ground challenging claims 8 and 12 meets the reasonable likelihood threshold for institution, in part because it relies on a reference that expressly discloses detecting movement. See id. at 73–74. Petitioner’s remaining grounds, however, fail to meet the reasonable likelihood standard. Petitioner makes inherency arguments relying on expert testimony, but does not explain sufficiently how the prior art inherently discloses the detecting movement limitation. See id. at 7, 33, 59–60, 92–93; Ex. 1003 ¶ 59.” slip op. at 2

“At most, the challenges to only two of the fourteen challenged claims meet the reasonable likelihood standard for institution. Under these circumstances, institution of trial would not be an efficient use of Board resources. Factors such as the efficient administration of the Office, coupled with the ability of the Office to timely complete its work, by their nature, center broadly on the Office, the patent system, and the public interest and, thus, inform my exercise of discretion. See, e.g., Chevron Oronite Co v. Infineum USA, IPR2018-00923, Paper 9 at 10–11 (PTAB Nov. 7, 2018) (informative) (determining that instituting a trial was “not an efficient use of the Board’s time and resources” where only two of twenty challenged claims met the reasonable likelihood standard).” slip op. at 2
