`JUDGMENT
`Termination of the Proceeding
`37 C.F.R. § 42.73
`
`On March 18, 2015, the parties filed a joint motion to terminate the
`proceeding pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 317. Paper 11. In addition, pursuant to
`35 U.S.C. § 317(b) and 37 C.F.R. § 42.74, the parties filed a true and correct
`copy of a settlement agreement and a related letter agreement (Exs. 1033,
`
`
`
`Case IPR2015-00715
`Patent 8,476,010 B2
`
`
`
`1034), along with a joint request to treat these agreements as business
`confidential information, to be kept separate from the publicly available
`patent files (Paper 10).
`This case is in the preliminary proceeding stage;1 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 the
`proceeding is GRANTED.
`Accordingly, it is
`ORDERED that the joint motion to terminate the proceeding is
`GRANTED and the proceeding is hereby TERMINATED; and
`FURTHER ORDERED that the parties’ joint request that the
`settlement agreement be treated as business confidential information, to be
`kept separate from the patent files, is GRANTED.
`
`
`
`
`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.
