`
`
`Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc. filed a Petition for an inter partes review
`of claims 1–9 of U.S. Patent No. 7,704,984. Paper 1. Warner Chilcott
`Company LLC timely filed a Preliminary Response. Paper 6.
`On August 19, 2015, the parties filed a Joint Motion to Terminate this
`proceeding pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 317 and 37 C.F.R. § 42.74. Paper 7. In
`addition, pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 317(b) and 37 C.F.R. § 42.74(c), the
`parties filed a true and correct copy of a settlement agreement, along with a
`Joint Request to File Settlement Agreement as Business Confidential
`Information and to Maintain Said Agreement Separate from the Public File.
`Paper 8.
`This case is in the preliminary stage. No decision on whether to
`institute a trial has been made. Under these circumstances, it is appropriate
`to enter judgment. Therefore, the Joint Motion to Terminate is GRANTED.
`
`Accordingly, it is
`ORDERED that the Joint Motion to Terminate is GRANTED and the
`proceeding is hereby TERMINATED; and
`FURTHER ORDERED that the Joint Request to Treat Settlement
`Agreement as Business Confidential Information is GRANTED, and the
`settlement agreement will be kept separate from the publicly available patent
`files.
