Detailed Summary

In the authorized response to SAP America’s Director Review Request, Cyandia contends that the PTAB correctly applied the Sotera precedent and that SAP’s Sotera‑style stipulation fails to address overlapping system art already raised in the district court. The patent owner argues that SAP’s arguments are untimely, waived, and unsupported by record evidence, and that there is no panel split when compared with recent Dell and Motorola decisions. Emphasizing the holistic weighing of all six Fintiv factors, Cyandia asserts that discretionary denial of the review request is warranted, leaving the institution decision intact.
