`
`
`DECISION
`
`Joint Motion to Terminate
`37 C.F.R. § 42.72
`
`
`
`
`
`IPR2014-00439
`Patent 7,365,871
`
`
`On February 24, 2015, Iron Dome LLC (“Petitioner”) and e-Watch,
`
`Inc. (“Patent Owner”) filed a joint motion to terminate the trial proceedings
`
`under 35 U.S.C. § 317(a). Paper 41 (“Mot.”). Along with the motion, the
`
`parties filed a Joint Request to File True Copy of Agreement Resolving
`
`Dispute as Business Confidential Information Pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 317
`
`(Paper 40), and filed copy of a document they described as the written
`
`settlement agreement (Exhibit 2041).
`
`The joint motion to terminate also references a separate exhibit
`
`containing Patent Owner’s Explanation as to Why Termination is
`
`Appropriate. Mot. 2; Ex. 2042. We did not authorize Patent Owner to file
`
`separate comments. Moreover, it is unclear from the Joint Motion and
`
`Exhibit 2042 whether Petitioner joins with the comments in Exhibit 2042.
`
`Because the papers, as filed, do not comply with our authorization to file a
`
`Joint Motion to Terminate, they will be expunged.
`
`
`
`Accordingly, it is:
`
`ORDER
`
`ORDERED that the joint motion to terminate this proceeding is
`
`DENIED without prejudice;
`
`FURTHER ORDERED that Paper 41 and Exhibit 2042 are expunged;
`
`and
`
`FURTHER ORDERED that the parties are authorized to file a revised
`
`Joint Motion to Terminate, limited to seven pages, that includes all
`
`arguments on or before Friday, February 27, 2015.
