“Because Congress intended inter partes reviews to serve as a faster and more cost-effective alternative to litigating validity in district courts, discovery in inter partes reviews is limited.” See Garmin Int’l, Inc. v. Cuozzo Speed Techs. LLC, IPR2012-00001, Paper 26 at 5 (PTAB Mar. 5, 2013). As such, motions for additional discovery are denied when the movant fails to shows the requested discovery is “necessary in the interest of justice.” Cisco Systems, Inc. v. InfoExpress Inc., Paper 23 at 11 (PTAB Dec. 20, 2024).
