`TERMINATION OF PROCEEDINGS
`37 C.F.R. § 42.72
`
`
`
`
`1 This Decision addresses issues that are common to each of the above-
`referenced cases. We, therefore, issue a single Decision that has been
`entered in each case. The parties may use this style caption when filing a
`single paper in multiple proceedings, provided that such caption includes a
`footnote attesting that “the word-for-word identical paper is filed in each
`proceeding identified in the caption.”

`IPR2015-01553 (8,729,094); IPR2015-01554 (8,729,094)
`
`
`On October 9, 2015, the parties filed joint motions to terminate the
`instant proceeding accompanied by true copies of a settlement agreement
`and joint requests to treat the settlement agreement as business confidential,
`to be kept separate from the patent file, pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 317(b) and
`37 C.F.R. § 42.74(c). (Papers 11, 12, and Exhibit 2001 in each of IPR2015-
`01550, -1551, -1553, and 01554.)
`Petitioner filed four petitions for inter partes review of U.S. Patent
`No. 8,729,094 on July 3, 2015. (Paper 1 in each of IPR2015-01550, -
`1551, -1553, and 01554.) As no trial has been instituted based on any of
`these petitions, all proceedings are in the preliminary proceeding2 stage.
`Based on the facts of these cases, it is appropriate to enter judgment.3
`Therefore, the joint motions to terminate the proceedings are GRANTED.
`
`Accordingly, it is
`ORDERED that the joint requests that the settlement agreement be
`treated as business confidential information, to be kept separate from the
`patent file are GRANTED;
`
`FURTHER ORDERED that the joint motions to terminate the
`proceedings are GRANTED; and
`
`
`2 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.
`3 A judgment means a final written decision by the Board, or a termination
`of a proceeding. 37 C.F.R. § 42.2.
