`Patent No. 6,844,990
`
`
`Pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 317(a), 37 C.F.R. § 42.74, and the teleconference
`
`with the PTAB on November 21, 2014 authorizing the filing of this joint motion,
`
`Petitioner Panasonic System Networks Co., Ltd, (“Panasonic”) and Patent Owner
`
`6115187 Canada Inc., (“ImmerVision”), hereby provide notice that they have
`
`negotiated a settlement and jointly request termination of the Inter Partes Review
`
`Case No. IPR2014-01438 involving U.S. Patent No. 6,844,990 (“the ‘990 Patent”).
`
`The basis for this Joint Motion is the settlement of the present dispute that relates
`
`to the ‘990 Patent between Panasonic and ImmerVision. As required by statute,
`
`the parties are filing concurrently herewith, as a separate submission, a Joint
`
`Request to Treat Settlement Agreement as Business Confidential along with a true
`
`copy of the written settlement agreement in connection with this matter. The
`
`parties request that the settlement agreement be treated as business confidential
`
`information and be kept separate from the file of the ‘990 Patent.
`
`STATEMENT OF REASONS FOR THE RELIEF REQUESTED
`
`The Parties have reached a settlement agreement regarding their dispute
`
`relating to the ‘990 Patent. Because the IPR has not been instituted and, thus, the
`
`Board has not decided this IPR on its merits, the Parties jointly request that the
`
`Board terminate this IPR pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 317(a).
`
`The Patent Owner represents that no district court litigation or ITC
`
`proceeding is currently pending regarding the ‘990 Patent, no decision has been
`
`1
`
`
`
`IPR2014-01438
`Patent No. 6,844,990
`
`made regarding future litigation, and there is no other related proceeding regarding
`
`the ‘990 Patent in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office at this time.
`
`Submitted concurrently with this Motion is a Joint Request to Treat
`
`Settlement Agreement as Business Confidential, along with a true copy of the
`
`written Settlement Agreement between the Parties (Exhibit 1015), as required by
`
`35 U.S.C. § 317(b) and 37 C.F.R. § 42.74(b) & (c).
`
`CONCLUSION
`
`For the reasons stated above, the Parties respectfully request that the Board
`
`terminate Inter Partes Review of U.S. Patent No. 6,844,990, Case No. IPR2014-
`
`01438.
`
`Authorization is hereby provided by Petitioner Panasonic to charge any fee
