`Case CBM2015-00102
`Patent 6,237,095 B1

`
`JUDGMENT
`Termination of the Proceeding
`35 U.S.C. § 327(a) and 37 C.F.R. § 42.72
`
`All remaining parties in this proceeding have requested that this trial
`be terminated pursuant to a settlement. On February 2, 2016, the parties
`filed a joint motion to terminate this proceeding and to file the settlement
`agreement as business confidential information under 37 C.F.R. § 42.74(c).
`Paper 37. The joint motion briefly states why termination is appropriate. Id.

`Patent 6,237,095 B1
`
`at 2–3. With their joint motion to terminate, the parties also filed a copy of a
`written settlement agreement, Ex. 1026, that they request be kept
`confidential, Paper 37, 3.
`Since we instituted a trial in this proceeding on October 2, 2015, the
`remaining parties have filed no papers other than the joint motion to
`terminate. 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 including the related district court litigation. Id. (citing
`Ex. 1027). Under these circumstances, we determine that it is appropriate to
`enter judgment and terminate the trial without rendering a final written
`decision. 37 C.F.R. § 42.72.
`Accordingly, it is
`ORDERED that the State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance
`Company’s, and Maxim Integrated Products, Inc.’s Corrected Joint Motion
`to Terminate Proceeding with Respect to State Farm Mutual Automobile
`Insurance Company Pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 327 is granted;
`FURTHER ORDERED that the parties’ joint request that the Board
`treat their settlement agreement as business confidential information
`pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 327(b) and 37 C.F.R. § 42.74(c), is granted; and
`FURTHER ORDERED that this case is terminated pursuant to
`37 C.F.R. § 42.72.
