`
`ORDER AUTHORIZING JOINT MOTIONS TO TERMINATE
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Cases IPR2014-00759, -00760, -00761, -00762 and -00763
`Patents 8,142,413, 8,048,032 and 8,292,850
`
`
`
`
`An email from Petitioner’s Counsel, dated August 5, 2014 and copied
`
`to Counsel for Patent Owner, indicates that the parties wish to file joint
`
`motions to terminate each of the above-captioned proceedings because they
`
`have settled matters between them related to each of the involved patents.
`
`The below ORDER authorizes the filing of a joint motion in each
`
`case. Even though this ORDER pertains to five cases, the parties must file a
`
`separate motion for each case. With each joint motion, the parties are
`
`required to file with the Board a true and complete copy of all settlement
`
`agreements between them related to the patent at issue, as well as any
`
`collateral agreements referenced in the settlement agreements. See 35
`
`U.S.C. § 317(b); 37 C.F.R. § 42.74(b). Redacted copies are insufficient.
`
`These can be filed as exhibits uploaded to the PRPS system. Each joint
`
`motion should update the Board as to the status of any other matters
`
`involving the patent at issue.
`
`The parties may request that the settlement agreements be treated as
`
`confidential business information and kept separate from the underlying
`
`patent file. See 37 C.F.R. § 42.74(c). In that event, the confidential
`
`agreements should be uploaded to the PRPS system as “Parties and Board
`
`Only” material. Attention of the parties is directed to FAQ G2 on the
`
`Board’s website page at http://www.uspto.gov/ip/boards/bpai/prps.jsp for
`
`instructions on how to file a settlement agreement as confidential.

`
`It is hereby

`
`time.
