`Patent 7,147,759 B2
`
`GLOBALFOUNDRIES U.S., Inc., GLOBALFOUNDRIES Dresden
`Module One LLC & Co. KG, and GLOBALFOUNDRIES Dresden Module
`Two LLC & Co. KG (collectively, “GlobalFoundries”) filed a Petition in
`each of the above-identified inter partes reviews, challenging U.S. Patent
`7,147,759 B2 (Ex. 1401, “the ’759 patent”) owned by Zond, LLC (“Zond”).
`Paper 2.2 Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.122(b), GlobalFoundries also filed
`Motions for Joinder, seeking to join its proceedings with proceedings filed
`by Intel Corporation (“Intel”)—specifically, joining IPR2014-01083 with
`IPR2014-00447; IPR2014-01086 with IPR2014-00443; and IPR2014-01087
`with IPR2014-00444. Paper 6.
`On September 12, 2014, however, 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
`’759 patent. See, e.g., IPR2014-00447, Paper 15; IPR2014-00443, Ex. 1035.
`Upon consideration, we terminated those Intel Proceedings and entered
`Judgment in each of the Intel Proceedings. See, e.g., IPR2014-00447,
`Paper 16. The termination of the Intel Proceedings renders the Motions for
`Joinder filed by GlobalFoundries moot. Although we authorized, in a prior
`Order, GlobalFoundries to file a revised Motion for Joinder, we did not
`receive any revised Motion within the time period set forth in the Order.
`In consideration of the foregoing, it is hereby
`ORDERED that the Motions for Joinder filed in the above-identified
`GlobalFoundries Proceedings are dismissed as moot.
