`
`Pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 327(a), Petitioner constituents Discover Financial
`
`Services, Discover Bank, and Discover Products Inc. (collectively, “Discover”)
`
`and Patent Owner Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. (“Maxim”) jointly request
`
`termination of Discover’s participation in this case, No. CBM2015-00102.1
`
`Discover and Maxim (collectively, the “Parties”) have settled their dispute
`
`with respect to the patent at issue. The Parties have submitted a joint stipulated
`
`motion to dismiss the related matter in the District Court (see Petition § I.B) with
`
`prejudice as to Discover, which was granted on November 12, 2015. A copy of the
`
`order of dismissal is filed concurrently herewith as Exhibit 2010.
`
`The Parties’ settlement agreement has been made in writing, and a true and
`
`correct copy is being filed concurrently herewith as Exhibit 2011 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.
`
`Maxim joins the present Motion solely for the purposes of terminating
`
`Discover’s participation going forward.
`
`                                                            
`1 Discover is one of several Petitioner constituents in this case. This motion is not
`joined by, and does not affect the continued participation of, the other Petitioner
`constituents in the case.
`
`US.103402341.01 
`
`

`

`
`Therefore, Discover and Maxim respectfully request termination of this case
`
`as to Discover.
`
`Respectfully submitted,
