LOURIE, Circuit Judge.

Belkin International, Inc. (“Belkin”) appeals from the decision of the Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences of the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“PTO”) on inter partes reexamination that it lacked jurisdiction to consider arguments based on three references that the Director had previously determined did not raise a substantial new question of patentability. 1 Because the Board did not err in refusing to consider the issues that the Director found not to raise a substantial new question of patentability, we affirm.
