inter partes review (IPR) petitions filed by Acronis and
third parties against the asserted patents. At the time, there were
fourteen pending IPR petitions on the asserted patents, and of
those fourteen, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) had
instituted IPR petitions for three of the four asserted
