`U.S. Patent No. 8,217,902
`
`JOINT MOTION TO TERMINATE PROCEEDING
`PURSUANT TO 35 U.S.C. § 317
`
`
`
`Case Nos. IPR2013-00567, IPR2014-00541
`Joint Motion To Terminate
`
`Pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 317(a), Petitioner Wintek Corporation and Patent
`
`Owner TPK Touch Solutions Inc. jointly request termination of IPR2013-00567
`
`and IPR2014-00541 (which has been joined to IPR2013-00567), which are
`
`directed to U.S. Patent No. 8,217,902. The parties have settled their disputes
`
`insofar as they relate to U.S. Patent No. 8,217,902, and have reached agreement to
`
`terminate this inter partes review.
`
`The parties have entered into a written Settlement Agreement, a true copy of
`
`which has been submitted as Exhibit No. 2029. The parties desire and jointly
`
`request that this Settlement Agreement be treated as confidential business
`
`information and that it be kept separate from the files of U.S. Patent No. 8,217,902
`
`and this inter partes review proceeding in accordance with 35 U.S.C. § 317(b) and
`
`37 C.F.R. § 42.74(c). The parties concurrently are filing a separate joint request to
`
`this effect.
`
`Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the parties have resolved all
`
`litigations and proceedings relating to U.S. Patent No. 8,217,902 , including TPK
`
`Touch Solutions Inc. v. Wintek Corp., Civ. A. No. 3:13-CV-02218-VC (N.D. Cal.)
`
`(“California Action”). Specifically, pursuant to sections 1.6.1 and 7.1 of the
`
`Settlement Agreement, the parties have agreed to dismiss the California Action
`
`with prejudice. Patent Owner further represents that there are currently no other
`
`pending proceedings involving U.S. Patent No. 8,217,902, except for ex parte
`
`
`
`Case Nos. IPR2013-00567, IPR2014-00541
`Joint Motion To Terminate
`
`reexamination Control No. 90/012,869, which is presently stayed and includes
`
`additional claims not affected by any inter partes review proceedings. Moreover,
`
`Patent Owner represents that it does not contemplate initiating any proceedings
`
`involving U.S. Patent No. 8,217,902 in the foreseeable future, either against
`
`Petitioner or any third party.
`
`The parties respectfully submit that termination is appropriate because
`
`Patent Owner has agreed to license U.S. Patent No. 8,217,902 to Petitioner (see
`
`Settlement Agreement § 2.1), the parties have settled all disputes with respect to
`
`U.S. Patent No. 8,217,902 and the parties have agreed to terminate this inter partes
`
`review. No public interest or other factors militate against termination of this
`
`proceeding.
`
`In view of the foregoing, the parties jointly and respectfully request that the
`
`instant proceeding be terminated.
