`
`JOINT MOTION TO TERMINATE PROCEEDING
`Case IPR2014-01495
`U.S. Patent 6,249,825
`
`
`Pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 317(a) and 37 C.F.R. § 42.72, Petitioner BlackBerry
`
`
`
`Corp. (“BlackBerry”) and Patent Owner Cypress Semiconductor Corp. (“Cypress”)
`
`jointly request termination of Inter Partes Review Case No. IPR2014-01495, which
`
`is directed to U.S. Patent No. 6,249,825 (“the ‘825 Patent”).
`
`
`
`BlackBerry’s petition for this inter partes review was filed on September 12,
`
`2014. A Notice of Filing Date Accorded (Paper No. 3) was mailed September 23,
`
`2014. No decision to institute has yet issued. The parties have reached agreement
`
`to terminate this inter partes review.
`
`
`
`Termination is proper under 35 U.S.C. § 317(a) because the parties are
`
`jointly requesting termination and the Office has not yet issued a decision to
`
`institute in this matter. Accordingly, the parties are entitled to terminate this
`
`proceeding under Section 317(a) upon their joint request.
`
`
`
`As required by 35 U.S.C. § 317(b) and 37 C.F.R. § 42.74(b), the parties’
`
`confidential Agreement has been reduced to writing, and a true copy of the same is
`
`attached hereto as Exhibit 1022.1 The Agreement is marked Confidential as the
`
`parties desire that the Agreement be maintained as business confidential
`
`
`1 The Agreement is being filed electronically via the Patent Review Processing
`System (PRPS) as “Parties and Board Only.”

`U.S. Patent 6,249,825
`
`
`
`information under 35 U.S.C. § 317(b) and 37 C.F.R. § 42.74(c), and a separate
`
`joint request to that effect is being filed on even date herewith.
`
`
`
`The ‘825 Patent is the subject of the following pending litigation: Cypress
`
`Semiconductor Corp. v. LG Electronics Inc., et al., 4:13-cv-04034-SBA (N.D. Cal.
`
`Aug. 29, 2013). Petitioner is not a party to the pending litigation. The ‘825 Patent
`
`was previously the subject of Cypress Semiconductor Corp. v. BlackBerry Ltd., et
`
`al., case no. 5:13-cv-04183 (N.D. Cal. Sept. 10, 2013), which was dismissed
`
`without prejudice on September 25, 2014.
`
`
`
`The parties jointly request termination of IPR2014-01495. Should the Board
`
`determine that termination is not proper, Petitioner and Patent Owner have agreed
`
`that each has reserved its rights to participate in any ongoing proceeding.
`
`
`
`Petitioner and Patent Owner believe no fee is due with this filing. If
`
`necessary, however, the Board is hereby authorized in this, concurrent and future
`
`filings, to charge payment or credit any overpayment to Deposit Account 15-0030,
`
`(Customer ID No. 22850).
