`
`
`
`CASE IPR2013-00066
`PATENT 7,876,413
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`JOINT MOTION TO TERMINATE INTER PARTES REVIEW
`
`1
`
`
`
`
`
`Pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 317(a) and 37 C.F.R. § 42.72, Patent Owner and
`
`Petitioner jointly request termination of Inter Partes Review Case No. IPR2013-
`
`00066 with respect to Petitioner, Innolux Corporation. No other petitioners remain
`
`in the proceeding.
`
`Patent Owner and Petitioner respectfully submit that termination is
`
`appropriate because they have reached an agreement resolving the dispute
`
`involving the patent at issue in the above-captioned Inter Partes Review and
`
`because it is before full briefing on the issues raised in Inter Partes Review Case
`
`No. IPR2013-00066, nor has there been any ruling by the Board on the trial.
`
`Further, Petitioner represents that it will no longer participate even if the Board
`
`does not terminate this review. That means Petitioner will file no further papers. It
`
`also will not be conducting any further cross examination of Patent Owner’s
`
`witnesses and will not be participating in any oral argument.
`
`As required under 35 U.S.C. §317(b) and 37 C.F.R. § 42.74(b), filed
`
`herewith is a true copy of the written confidential Settlement Agreement and
`
`Mutual Release resolving the dispute in the above captioned Inter Partes Review
`
`and the related litigation (the “Settlement Agreement”). See Settl. All parties to the
`
`action in the United States District Court for the Central District of California,
`
`which alleged infringement against Chimei Innolux Corporation, Chi Mei
`
`Optoelectronics USA, Inc., Acer America Corporation, ViewSonic Corporation,
`
`
`
`2
`
`
`
`
`
`VIZIO, Inc., and Westinghouse Digital, LLC (the “California litigation”) have
`
`agreed to the dismissal of the California litigation, and the Rule 41 Stipulation of
`
`Dismissal has been filed in the United States District Court for the Central District
`
`of California. See DISM. The California litigation is currently stayed pending the
`
`completion of Inter Partes Review Case No. IPR2013-00066 and inter partes
`
`review proceedings involving five other patents asserted in the California
`
`litigation. Also filed is a true copy of the written confidential Patent License
`
`Agreement Re: Liquid Crystal Display Devices (the “License Agreement”). See
`
`LIC. The Settlement Agreement and the License Agreement resolve entirely the
`
`dispute between Patent Owner and Petitioner relating to the patent at issue in the
`
`above-captioned Inter Partes Review and the other five patents asserted in the
`
`California litigation and the inter partes reviews involving all six patents asserted
`
`in that litigation. There is no other litigation in any court or forum involving the
`
`Patent Owner and the parties who are defendants in the California litigation or the
`
`patent at issue in the above-captioned Inter Partes Review.
`
`Patent Owner and Petitioner are concurrently filing a Joint Request that the
`
`Settlement Agreement attached hereto as Settl and the License Agreement attached
`
`hereto as LIC shall be treated as business confidential information, shall be kept
`
`separate from the file of the involved patents, and shall be made available only to
`
`
`
`3
`
`
`
`
`
`Federal Government agencies on written request, or to any person on a showing of
`
`good cause pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 317(b) and 37 C.F.R. §42.74(c).
`
`The parties jointly request termination of IPR2013-00066. Patent Owner
`
`believes no fee is due with this filing. If necessary, however, the Commissioner is
`
`hereby authorized in this, concurrent, and future filings, to charge payment or
`
`credit any overpayment to Deposit Account 15-0030, (Customer ID No. 22850).
`
`Dated: December 4, 2013
`

`
`
`Respectfully submitted,
