`Patent 7,604,716 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
`7,604,716 B2 (Ex. 1001, “the ’716 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 IPR2014-01099 with
`IPR2014-00520; and IPR2014-01100 with IPR2014-00521. 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
`’716 patent. See, e.g., IPR2014-00520, Paper 7, Ex. 1023. Upon
`consideration, we terminated the Intel proceedings and entered Judgment in
`each of the Intel proceedings. See, e.g., IPR2014-00520, Paper 8.
`The termination of the Intel proceedings renders the Motions for
`Joinder filed by GlobalFoundries in the above-identified proceedings moot.
`Although we authorized, in a prior Order, GlobalFoundries to file a revised
`Motion for Joinder, GlobalFoundries did not file such a 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.
