      “A party may request judgment against itself at any time during a proceeding. 37 C.F.R. § 42.73(b). Under the Rules, actions construed as a request for entry of adverse judgment include “[c]ancellation or disclaimer of a claim such that the party has no remaining claim in the trial.” 37 C.F.R. § 42.73(b)(2). Here, Patent Owner has disclaimed, under 37 C.F.R. § 1.321, claims 1–42 of the ’407 patent, which constitute all challenged claims involved in this trial. See Ex. 2031. We thus construe the statutory disclaimer as a request for entry of adverse judgment. Having reviewed the statutory disclaimer, we determine that adverse judgment against Patent Owner with respect to claims 1–42 of the ’407 patent is appropriate.” slip op. at 2

      “In other words, the Smith & Nephew decision makes plain that entry of adverse judgment (as opposed to a denial without adverse judgment) is appropriate in situations where a patentee seeks to regain, through continued prosecution, subject matter that is patentably indistinct from previously surrendered subject matter. Id. That is precisely the situation at hand. Claim 43, pending in the ’822 continuation application, is of the same or broader scope than disclaimed claim 1 of the ’529 patent, as shown in Petitioner’s claim chart:” slip op. at 4

      “17.) Previously, on July 11, 2025, Patent Owner filed a disclaimer disclaiming the entire term of the ’241 patent. (See Ex. 2020.)

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.
