NOTE: This order is nonprecedential. United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ______________________ CLICK-TO-CALL TECHNOLOGIES, LP, Appellant v. ORACLE CORPORATION, ORACLE OTC SUBSIDIARY, LLC, INGENIO, INC., YELLOWPAGES.COM, LLC, Appellees JOSEPH MATAL, PERFORMING THE FUNCTIONS AND DUTIES OF THE UNDER SECRETARY OF COMMERCE FOR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND DIRECTOR, U.S. PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE, Intervenor ______________________ 2015-1242 ______________________ Appeal from the United States Patent and Trademark Office, Patent Trial and Appeal Board in No. IPR2013- 00312. ______________________ ON PETITION FOR PANEL REHEARING ______________________ 2 CLICK-TO-CALL TECHNOLOGIES, LPZ 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. CLICK-TO-CALL TECHNOLOGIES, LP 3 v. ORACLE CORPORATION 6803054 (Fed. Cir. Nov. 17, 2016) is vacated, and the appeal is reinstated.
