“1 During a telephone conference on November 17, 2015, which included counsel for both parties and the panel, counsel for Petitioner stated he did not object to the request for adverse judgment, but requested that the panel issue with this judgment findings of fact and legal determinations arising from papers of record. Petitioner expressed a concern over a potential for duplicated efforts in ongoing reissue proceedings involving the ’245 patent. We exercise our discretion and decline the request to supplement the record.
