`
`
`DISCUSSION
`The parties jointly filed various exhibits (the “supporting exhibits”) in
`support of their Joint Motions to Terminate Proceedings in each of the
`above-captioned proceedings. See IPR2015-00969, Paper 22; IPR2015-
`00980, Paper 21; IPR2015-01031, Paper 22. The supporting exhibits were
`filed either for “Board Only” or for “Board and Parties Only.” On
`September 10, 2016, we issued a Decision denying the Joint Motions to
`Terminate Proceedings. IPR2015-00969, Paper 29; IPR2015-00980, Paper
`28; IPR2015-01031, Paper 29. In that Decision, we authorized the parties to
`file joint motions to expunge the supporting exhibits within ten (10) business
`days of the entry of the Decision, i.e., on or before September 23, 2016.
`IPR2015-00969, Paper 29, 6; IPR2015-00980, Paper 28, 6; IPR2015-01031,
`Paper 29, 6. The parties timely filed the authorized joint motions (the “Joint
`Requests to Expunge”) requesting that we expunge the following exhibits
`from each proceeding:
`Exhibits to be Expunged
`Proceeding
`1013 and 2008–2012
`IPR2015-00969
`1015 and 2008–2012
`IPR2015-00980
`1021 and 2003–2007
`IPR2015-01031
`IPR2015-00969, Paper 31, 1; IPR2015-00980, Paper 30, 1; IPR2015-01031,
`Paper 30, 1. Because these exhibits allegedly include confidential
`information, because we denied the parties’ Joint Motions to Terminate
`Proceedings, and because the parties chose not to file requests for rehearing
`of our Decision denying the Joint Motions to Terminate Proceedings, we
`grant the parties’ joint request to expunge these exhibits.

`ORDER
`In consideration of the foregoing, it is hereby:
`ORDERED that the parties’ Joint Request to Expunge are granted;
`
`and
`
`FURTHER ORDERED that Exhibits 1013 and 2008–2012 are
`expunged from the record of IPR2015-00969, Exhibits 1015 and 2008–2012
`are expunged from the record of IPR2015-00980, and Exhibits 1021 and
`2003–2007 are expunged from the record of IPR2015-01031.
