`
`
`JOINT MOTION TO TERMINATE PROCEEDING
`CASE IPR2014-01313
`Pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 317 and 37 C.F.R. § 42.74, and pursuant to the
`
`authorization to file this motion provided by the Board via email to the parties on
`
`February 12, 2015, Petitioner GeneDx (“GeneDx”) and Patent Owner Myriad
`
`Genetics (“Myriad”) jointly request termination of the Inter Partes Review of U.S.
`
`Patent No. 6,051,379 Case IPR2014-01313.
`
`Section 317 contemplates termination of inter partes review upon the joint
`
`request of the petitioner and the patent owner, unless the Office has decided the
`
`merits of the proceeding before the request for termination is filed. See 35 U.S.C.
`
`§ 317.
`
`The parties have settled their dispute and have reached agreement to
`
`terminate this inter partes review and the parties' co-pending inter partes review
`
`proceedings (IPR2014-01296; IPR2014-01298; IPR2014-01299; IPR2014-01301;
`
`IPR2014-01310; IPR2014-01311; IPR2014-01312; IPR2014-01314; IPR2014-
`
`01315; IPR2014-01316; IPR2015-00152; and IPR2015-00154). The parties'
`
`settlement agreement has been made in writing, and a true and correct copy is
`
`being filed with this Office as Exhibit 1031. Also being filed as Exhibit 1032 is a
`
`copy of the Order from the U.S. District Court for the District of Utah granting the
`
`parties’ Stipulation of Dismissal of that concurrent case pursuant to the settlement
`
`agreement. The parties are also filing concurrently herewith a joint request to treat
`
`the settlement agreement as business confidential information and keep it separate
`
`
`

`
`
`
`JOINT MOTION TO TERMINATE PROCEEDING
`CASE IPR2014-01313
`from the files of the IPR and the involved patent pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 317(b)
`
`and 37 C.F.R. § 42.74(c).
`
`Termination under Section 317 is appropriate since the Office has not yet
`
`decided the merits of the proceeding. Indeed, this inter partes review has not been
`
`instituted. GeneDx filed its petition for inter partes review on August 18, 2014.
`
`No Motions or Petitions are outstanding in this proceeding. No other party’s rights
`
`will be prejudiced by the termination of this inter partes review.
`
`Accordingly, GeneDx and Myriad respectfully request termination of the
`
`Inter Partes Review of U.S. Patent No. 6,051,379 Case IPR2014-01313.
