Detailed Summary

In a procedural order, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board affirmed its earlier decision to institute inter partes reviews covering six patents owned by Optronic Sciences LLC and challenged by BOE Technology Group Co., LTD. Optronic Sciences sought to file a motion for reconsideration, arguing that the rescission of the Interim Procedure and new Director guidance created extraordinary circumstances. The Board rejected this argument, noting that the institution decision did not rely on a Sotera stipulation or compelling merits, and that the deadline for filing a preliminary response—and thus for discretionary denial briefing—had already elapsed. Consequently, the Board denied the motion for reconsideration.
