`

`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. IPR2014-00291 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 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 1011.
`
`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 1012,
`
`1
`
`
`

`

`
`
`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 1011, 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).
