“Adverse Judgment, Paper 10. “A party may request judgment against itself at any time during a proceeding.” 37 C.F.R § 42.73(b). In the filing, Patent Owner explains that it submits the request for entry of adverse judgment against itself “pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.73(b)(2) (allowing a party to request an adverse judgment at any time by ‘[c]ancellation or disclaimer of a claim such that the party has no remaining claim in the trial’).” Paper 10, 1. Patent Owner has not identified a statutory disclaimer filed under 35 U.S.C. § 253(a) in compliance with 37 C.F.R. § 1.321(a). Accordingly, we understand that Patent Owner’s request for adverse judgment is not based upon a disclaimer, but instead a request that we cancel claims 1–18 of the ’795 patent, such that no claims will remain in the proceeding. Additionally, we note that Patent Owner explains that Petitioner does not oppose the request for adverse judgment. Id. In consideration of the foregoing, it is hereby: ORDERED that Patent Owner’s Request for Adverse Judgment against itself under 37 C.F.R § 42.73(b)(2) with respect to IPR2022-00774 (and cancelling claims 1–18 of the ’795 patent) is granted;” slip op. at 2

“A party may request entry of adverse judgment against itself at any time during a proceeding. 37 C.F.R. § 42.73(b). “Judgment” is defined as “a final written decision by the Board, or a termination of a proceeding.” 37 C.F.R. § 42.2.

See 37 C.F.R. § 42.72 (noting that the Board may terminate a trial without rendering a final written decision “where appropriate,” such as when the trial is consolidated with another proceeding or pursuant to a settlement under 35 U.S.C. § 317(a)).
