`
`
`CASE IPR: 2014-00281
`Patent 6,324,463
`____________
`
`
`JOINT MOTION TO TERMINATE THE INTER PARTES REVIEW WITH
`RESPECT TO NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, INC.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 317(a) and 37 C.F.R. § 42.72, Patent Owner and
`
`Nissan North America, Inc. (“Nissan”) jointly request termination of Inter Partes
`
`Review Case No. IPR2014-00289 with respect to Nissan.
`
`Patent Owner and Nissan 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, it is prior to full briefing on the
`
`issues raised in the above-captioned Inter Partes Review, and the Board has not
`
`issued a final written decision. Further, Nissan represents that it will no longer
`
`participate even if the Board does not terminate its participation in the above-
`
`captioned Inter Partes Review. That means Nissan will file no further papers. It
`
`also will not be participating in any oral argument.
`
`As required under 35 U.S.C. §317(b) and 37 C.F.R. § 42.72(b), filed herewith
`
`is a true copy of the written Confidential Settlement Agreement resolving the dispute
`
`in the above-captioned Inter Partes Review and the related litigation. See
`
`Confidential Exhibit 2002.
`
`Also attached as Exhibit A to the written Settlement Agreement is a copy of
`
`the Stipulated Motion for Dismissal With Prejudice of the action in the United States
`
`District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan. Exhibit 2003, which is being
`
`filed concurrently with this Joint Motion, includes the executed Stipulated Motion
`
`for Dismissal With Prejudice and the resulting Order.
`
`

`
`
`
`
`
`Patent Owner and Nissan are concurrently filing a Joint Request that the
`
`Settlement Agreement, Confidential Exhibit 2002, 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 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).
