2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“During IPRs, once the PTO grants a patentee’s motion to amend, the substituted claims are not subject to further examination. Moreover, the petitioner may choose not to challenge the patenta-bility of substitute claims if, for example, the amendments narrowed the claims such that the petitioner no longer faces a risk of infringement. If the patentee were not required to establish patenta-bility of substitute claims over the prior art of record, an amended patent could issue despite the PTO having before it prior art that undermines patentability.”
