                                     v. ORACLE CORPORATION

    Before O’MALLEY and TARANTO, Circuit Judges, and
                 STARK, District Judge *.
PER CURIAM.
                        ORDER
    Appellant Click-to-Call Technologies, LP (“CTC”) filed
a petition for rehearing en banc, in which it seeks two
forms of relief. First, it asks the court to vacate the
panel’s November 17, 2016 opinion dismissing CTC’s
appeal for lack of jurisdiction. See Click-to-Call Techs.,
LP v. Oracle Corp., No. 2015-1242, 2016 WL 6803054
(Fed. Cir. Nov. 17, 2016). Second, CTC asks the court to
rehear its appeal, which centers on CTC’s contention that
the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (“the Board”) erred in
determining that inter partes review proceeding IPR2013-
00312 was not barred by 35 U.S.C. § 315(b). The petition
therefore requests relief that can be granted by the panel
that heard the appeal. See Fed. Cir. R. 35 Practice Notes.
    The panel determines that rehearing of CTC’s appeal
is warranted in light of this court’s en banc opinion in Wi-
Fi One, LLC v. Broadcom Corp., --- F.3d ---, 2018 WL
313065 (Fed. Cir. Jan. 8, 2018) (en banc). Upon consider-
ation thereof,
    IT IS ORDERED THAT:
    (1) The petition for rehearing en banc filed by
    Appellant is construed as a petition for panel re-
    hearing, which the panel grants.
    (2) The court’s opinion in Click-to-Call Technolo-
    gies, LP v. Oracle Corp., No. 2015-1242, 2016 WL

    *  The Honorable Leonard P. Stark, Chief District
Judge, United States District Court for the District of
Delaware, sitting by designation.

   ter the date on which Appellant filed its opening
   appeal brief.
   (4) All supplemental briefs shall be electronically
   filed in the ECF system, and six paper copies of
   each brief shall be filed with the court. Two paper
   copies of all filings shall be served on counsel for

   volume limitations set forth in Federal Rule of
   Appellate Procedure 32 and Federal Circuit Rule
   32, with the exception that no brief may contain
   more than 7,000 words.

   by Monday, February 5, 2018. Appellees’ joint

   February 21, 2018. Intervenor’s supplemental
   brief must be filed by Monday, March 5, 2018. No
