`Patent 7,147,759 B2
`
`
`
`
`
`
`On September 12, 2014, Intel and Zond filed a Joint Motion to
`
`Terminate and a true copy of their Written Settlement Agreement, made in
`
`connection with the termination, in accordance with 35 U.S.C. § 317(b) and
`
`37 C.F.R. § 42.74(b), in each of Intel’s Proceedings that involved the
`
`aforementioned patents. Upon consideration, we terminated Intel’s
`
`Proceedings and entered judgment in each of the proceedings.
`
`The termination of Intel’s Proceedings renders the Motions for
`
`Joinder filed in the Joinder Proceedings moot. Given that, we hereby
`
`authorize TSMC, Fujitsu, Gillette, AMD, and Global to file a revised Motion
`
`for Joinder in each of their proceedings. As we articulated previously,
`
`having all of the Motions for Joinder at the time we decide the Petitions
`
`would help streamline the proceedings, in that we could decide the Motion
`
`for Joinder near the same timeframe. We also authorize Zond to file a
`
`revised Opposition to any revised Motion for Joinder. The parties should
`
`not file a revised motion or opposition if the parties are no longer seeking
`
`joinder or opposing joinder.
`
`In consideration of the foregoing, it is hereby:
`
`ORDERED that TSMC, Fujitsu, Gillette, AMD, and Global are
`
`authorized to file a revised Motion for Joinder, within five business days
`
`from this Order, in each of their proceedings involving the aforementioned
`
`patents;
`
`FURTHER ORDERED that should TSMC, Fujitsu, Gillette, AMD, or
`
`Global file a revised Motion for Joinder, Zond is authorized to file an
`
`Opposition to the revised Motion for Joinder, within five business days from
`
`the filing of the revised Motion for Joinder, limited to ten pages; and
`
`FURTHER ORDERED that no reply is authorized.
