`
`Case CBM2015-00102
`Patent No. 6,237,095
`
`AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY,
`AMERICAN EXPRESS TRAVEL RELATED SERVICES COMPANY, INC.,
`AND MAXIM INTEGRATED PRODUCTS, INC.’S
`JOINT MOTION TO TERMINATE PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO
`AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY AND AMERICAN EXPRESS TRAVEL
`RELATED SERVICES COMPANY, INC. PURSUANT TO 35 U.S.C. § 327
`
`
`

`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`CBM2015-00102
`U.S. Patent No. 6,237,095
`Joint Motion to Terminate
`Pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 327(a), Petitioner constituents American Express
`
`Company and American Express Travel Related Services Company, Inc.
`
`(collectively, “American Express”) and Patent Owner Maxim Integrated Products,
`
`Inc. (“Maxim”) (collectively, “the Parties”) jointly request termination of American
`
`Express’s participation in this case, No. CBM2015-00102,1 as to American Express
`
`only. Because additional petitioners remain, the grant of this motion will not result
`
`in the termination of this Covered Business Method (“CBM”) review.
`
`I.
`
`Brief Explanation as to why Termination is Appropriate
`
`
`
`American Express and Maxim have settled their dispute with respect to the
`
`patent at issue. Because no final written decision has yet been entered and American
`
`Express and Maxim are jointly making this motion, termination of this CBM review as
`
`to American Express is appropriate, as the Board has not yet “decided the merits of the
`
`proceeding.” 35 U.S.C. § 327(a).
`
`
`
` Terminating this CBM review as to American Express promotes the
`
`congressional goal to establish a more efficient and streamlined patent system that,
`
`inter alia, limits unnecessary and counterproductive litigation costs. See “Changes to
`
`Implement Inter Partes Review Proceedings, Post-Grant Review Proceedings, and
`
`Transitional Program for Covered Business Method Patents,” Final Rule, 77 Fed. Reg.,
`
`1 American Express is one of several petitioner constituents in this CBM review.
`This motion is not joined by, and does not affect the continued participation of, the
`other petitioner constituents in the CBM review.
`
`
`
`2
`
`
`
`
`
`CBM2015-00102
`U.S. Patent No. 6,237,095
`Joint Motion to Terminate
`no. 157, p. 48680 (August 14, 2012). Moreover, terminating post-grant proceedings,
`
`such as this CBM review, upon settlement fosters an environment that promotes
`
`settlements, thereby creating a timely, cost-effective alternative to litigation. A
`
`decision to continue the present CBM review as to American Express would therefore
`
`be contrary to the congressional goal of speedy dispute resolution.
`
`II.
`
`Status of Related Litigation
`
`
`
`The related District Court litigation between the Parties, No. 5:14-cv-1027-XR
`
`(W.D. Tx.), has been settled and that action has been dismissed with prejudice. A
`
`copy of the court’s order dismissing that action is being filed concurrently herewith as
`
`Exhibit 1021.
`
`III. Request to Treat Settlement Agreement as Confidential Information
`
`
`
`The Parties’ settlement agreement has been made in writing, and a true and
`
`correct copy is being filed concurrently herewith as Exhibit 1022 pursuant to 35 U.S.C.
`
`§ 327(b), along with the Parties’ joint request that the settlement agreement be treated
`
`as business confidential information, and be kept separate from the file of the involved
`
`patent.
`
`IV. Conclusion
`
`
`
`Maxim joins the present Motion solely for purposes of terminating American
`
`Express’s participation in this case going forward. For at least these reasons, American
`
`Express and Maxim respectfully request termination of this case as to American
`
`
`
`3
`
`
`
`
`
`Express.
