`JUDGMENT
`Termination of the Proceeding
`37 C.F.R. § 42.73
`
`On February 17, 2015, the parties filed in each of the listed
`
`proceedings a joint motion to terminate the proceedings pursuant to 35
`
`
`
`IPR2014-01296 (7,838,237); IPR2014-01298 (7,670,776);
`IPR2014-01299 (7,622,258); IPR2014-01301 (7,622,258);
`IPR2014-01310 (5,654,155); IPR2014-01312 (6,083,698);
`IPR2014-01313 (6,051,379); IPR2014-01314 (6,951,721); and
`IPR2014-01315 (7,470,510)
`
`
`U.S.C. § 317. In addition, and pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 317(b) and 37 C.F.R.
`
`§ 42.74, the parties filed in each of the listed proceedings a copy of a
`
`settlement agreement along with a joint request to treat the settlement
`
`agreement as business confidential, to be kept separate from the patent files.
`
`These cases are all in the preliminary proceeding1 stage; no institution
`
`of a trial has been made. Under these circumstances, it is appropriate to
`
`enter judgment.2 Therefore, the joint motions to terminate the proceedings
`
`are GRANTED.
`
`Accordingly, it is
`
`ORDERED that the parties’ joint requests that the settlement
`
`agreement be treated as business confidential information, to be kept
`
`separate from the patent files are GRANTED; and
`
`FURTHER ORDERED that the joint motions to terminate the
`
`proceedings are GRANTED; and
`
`FURTHER ORDERED that the proceedings are TERMINATED.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`1 A preliminary proceeding begins with the filing of a petition for instituting
`a trial and ends with a written decision as to whether a trial will be instituted.
`37 C.F.R. § 42.2.
`2 A judgment means a final written decision by the Board, or a termination
`of a proceeding. 37 C.F.R. § 42.2.
