      “Under 37 C.F.R. § 42.73(b), a party may request adverse judgment against itself at any time during a proceeding. The Board construes a “[c]ancellation or disclaimer of a claim such that the party has no remaining claim in the trial” as a request for adverse judgment. See 37 C.F.R. § 42.73(b)(2). Here, we instituted inter partes review of claims 1–7, 9–11, 24–26, 28, 29, 35, and 36 of the ’803 Patent, and Patent Owner has statutorily disclaimed each of those claims. See Ex. 3002. Accordingly, we consider Patent Owner’s disclaimer of the challenged claims as a request for adverse judgment, and we grant that request.” slip op. at 2

    • Adverse judgmentAdverse judgmentGranted

      “Pursuant to our rules, “[a]ctions construed to be a request for 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 disclaimed claims 1–9 of the ’183 patent under 35 U.S.C. § 253 according to the procedures set forth in 37 C.F.R. § 1.321(a). See Ex. 2001, 1. Accordingly, we construe Patent Owner’s Disclaimer as a request that the Board enter judgment against it with respect to claims 1–9, the only claims at issue in this trial, and we grant that request. See Unified Patents, LLC v. Arsus, LLC, IPR2020-00948, Paper 18 at 2 (PTAB Jan. 27, 2021) (construing statutory disclaimer of all challenged claims as a request for adverse judgment), aff’d Case No. 2021-01648, 2021 WL 5315423 (Fed.

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.
