`
`Case CBM2014-00177
`Patent 6,237,095 B1
`

`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Before TREVOR M. JEFFERSON, MITCHELL G. WEATHERLY, and
`KERRY BEGLEY, Administrative Patent Judges.
`
`WEATHERLY, Administrative Patent Judge.
`
`JUDGMENT
`Termination of the Proceeding
`35 U.S.C. § 327(a) and 37 C.F.R. § 42.72
`
`The parties have requested that this proceeding be terminated pursuant
`
`to a settlement. On February 25, 2015, we authorized the parties via e-mail
`
`to file a joint request to terminate this proceeding and to file the settlement
`
`agreement as business confidential information under 37 C.F.R. § 42.74(c).
`
`The parties filed their joint motion the same day. Paper 12. With their joint
`
`
`
`CBM2014-00177
`Patent 6,237,095 B1
`
`motion to terminate, the parties also filed a copy of a written settlement
`
`agreement that they request be kept confidential. Paper 13, at 1; Ex. 2005.
`
`We have not instituted trial in this proceeding. Thus, this proceeding
`
`is in its initial stages. The parties indicate that they have agreed to resolve
`
`all disputes between them related to the challenged patent. Paper 12, at 2.
`
`Under these circumstances, we determine that it is appropriate to enter
`
`judgment and terminate the proceeding without rendering a final written
`
`decision. 37 C.F.R. § 42.72.
`
`Accordingly, it is
`
`ORDERED that the Joint Motion to Terminate Proceeding Pursuant to
`
`35 U.S.C. § 327 is granted; and
`
`FURTHER ORDERED that the Joint Request to File Settlement
`
`Agreement as Business Confidential Information Under 35 U.S.C. § 327(b)
`
`is granted.
