`Patent 6,324,463
`____________
`
`
`JOINT MOTION TO TERMINATE THE INTER PARTES REVIEW WITH
`RESPECT TO AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO., INC.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 317(a) and 37 C.F.R. § 42.72, Patent Owner and
`
`American Honda Motor Co., Inc. (“Honda”) jointly request termination of Inter
`
`Partes Review Case No. IPR2014-00289 with respect to Honda and its identified
`
`real parties-in-interest Honda Motor Co. Ltd. and Honda Patents and Technologies,
`
`N.A., LLC.
`
`Patent Owner and Honda 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, Honda 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 Honda 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. § 42.72(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 1014.
`
`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
`
`
`
`1
`
`
`
`
`
`States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan. Exhibit 1015, 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 Honda are concurrently filing a Joint Request that the
`
`Settlement Agreement, Confidential Exhibit 1014, 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).
