`
`
`On April 19, 2017, the parties filed a Joint Motion to Terminate this
`proceeding (Paper 75), a true copy of the parties’ settlement agreement (Ex.
`2069), and a request to treat the settlement agreement as business
`confidential information under 35 U.S.C. § 317(b) and 37 C.F.R. § 42.74(c).
`In the Joint Motion to Terminate this proceeding, the parties represent
`that they have settled their disputes regarding U.S. Patent 8,251,997 B2 (“the
`’997 patent”). Paper 75. The present Inter Partes Review was vacated-in-
`part and remanded to the Patent Trial and Appeal Board by the U.S. Court of
`Appeals for the Federal Circuit (“Federal Circuit”). In Re: Warsaw
`Orthopedic, Inc., Nos. 2015-1050, 2015-1058, slip op. at 14 (Fed. Cir. Aug.
`9, 2016). We determine that it is appropriate to terminate this proceeding
`without rendering any further decisions. See 37 C.F.R. § 42.72.
