"wishful thinking on my part but it could be that if the decision was to not accept the IPR they could avoid altogether the motion for a rehearing on the question of law as it would be a moot point."
The re-hearing and question of law deals directly with the application Date afforded to Micron....Dec 31,2014
The main contention is, Micron did not properly serve under statute law. For that Improper execution the application date of Dec 31st should not be afforded.
The difference in time amounts to 2 months +/- more of execution time, as to when a proper serving took place. With that, the the approval to hear the IPR is moot, as petitioner filed too late.
