`
`
`On November 21, 2014, the parties filed a joint motion to terminate these
`
`proceedings, as authorized by the Board on November 20, 2014. The parties also
`
`filed a true copy of their written agreement, made in connection with the
`
`termination of the instant proceedings, in accordance with 35 U.S.C. § 317(b) and
`
`37 C.F.R. § 42.74(b). In addition, the parties filed a joint request to have their
`
`agreement treated as confidential business information under 35 U.S.C. § 317(b)
`
`and 37 C.F.R. § 42.74(c). See, e.g., IPR 2014-01470 (Papers 8, 9; Ex. 1008). The
`
`joint motions request termination of the proceedings and further explain that the
`
`related litigation has been dismissed without prejudice.
`
`At this juncture in the proceedings, decisions to institute trial have not been
`
`entered as the joint motions preceded the expiration for filing preliminary
`
`responses by the Patent Owner.
`
`Based on the facts of these cases, it is appropriate to enter judgment1 without
`
`rendering a final written decision. See 35 U.S.C. § 317(a); 37 C.F.R. § 42.72.
`
`It is
`
`ORDERED that the parties’ joint request that the agreement be treated as
`
`business confidential information, to be kept separate from the patent file is
`
`granted;
`
`FURTHER ORDERED that the joint motions to terminate the proceedings
`
`are granted; and
`
`FURTHER ORDERED that the proceedings are terminated.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`1 A judgment means a final written decision by the Board, or a termination of a
`proceeding. 37 C.F.R. § 42.2.
