The Chief Judge at the PTAB-Rueschke has been fired. Things are about to get interesting for AAPL.

"PTAB veterans Scott Boalick and Jacqueline Wright Bonilla will serve as acting chief judge and acting deputy chief, respectively."

and of course Vice Chief Administrative Patent Judge Michael P. Tierney,

Can anyone find in the history of the PTAB such a high ranking panel of judges all around being brought together for one appeal?

This is going to become interesting very fast one would think!
I wonder why such high profile judges have been assigned to oversee this appeal? Seems like overkill for something that should be elementary.

I think another fair question would be: how many ex parte communication request for sanctions after a final written decision have ever been granted?
