and will issue any necessary orders in due course.” Id., Dkt. No. 117-4 (Exhibit D to December 9, 

2016 joint status report). The most recent joint status report, dated September 8, 2017, states that 

“[n]either the Patent Trial & Appeal Board nor the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office has taken any 

action in the relevant inter partes review proceedings since the parties’ previous report [on] June 

7, 2017.” Id., Dkt. No. 139. The Court hereby ORDERS the parties to file a joint status report
