`
`JUDGMENT
`Termination of the Proceeding
`37 C.F.R. § 42.73
`
`
`
`
`
`On June 30, 2015, the parties informed the Board that the parties had
`
`settled the proceedings and that the parties sought authorization to file a joint
`
`motion to terminate the proceedings. On July 5, 2015, and pursuant to 35
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`U.S.C. § 327(b) and 37 C.F.R. § 42.74, the parties filed a joint motion to
`
`terminate each proceeding. CBM2014-00131, Paper 60.1 The parties also
`
`filed a joint request in each proceeding to have their settlement agreement
`
`treated as confidential business information under 35 U.S.C. § 327(b) and 37
`
`C.F.R. § 42.74(c). CBM2014-00131, Paper 62. Lastly, the parties filed a
`
`joint request to withdraw previously filed oral hearing requests. CBM2014-
`
`00131, Paper 61. In each of the joint motions, the parties represent that each
`
`of the settlement agreements filed is a true copy and resolves all disputes
`
`between the parties. CBM2014-00131, Paper 60, 1.
`
`These covered business method patent reviews were instituted on
`
`December 2, 2014. At this juncture of the proceedings, the Board does not
`
`have before it full briefing on the trial issues; the cases have not been heard;
`
`and the Board has not entered a final decision. Based on the facts of these
`
`cases, it is appropriate to enter judgment.2 Therefore, the joint motions to
`
`terminate the proceedings are granted.
`
`Accordingly, it is
`
`ORDERED that the parties’ joint requests that the settlement
`
`agreements be treated as business confidential information, to be kept
`
`separate from the patent file are granted; and
`
`FURTHER ORDERED that the joint motions to terminate the
`
`proceedings are granted;
`
`FURTHER ORDERED that the joint motions to withdraw oral
`
`hearing requests are granted;
`
`FURTHER ORDERED that the hearing scheduled for July 9, 2015 is
`
`
`1 Citations are to CBM2014-00131.
`2 A judgment means a final written decision by the Board, or a termination
`of a proceeding. 37 C.F.R. § 42.2.
`
`2
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`vacated; and
`
`FURTHER ORDERED that the proceedings are terminated.
