`
`ORDER
`Dismissing Petitions
`37 C.F.R. §§ 42.71(a), 42.74
`
`
`
`
`1 This order addresses issues common to all cases; therefore, we issue a
`single order to be entered in each proceeding. The parties, however, are not
`authorized to use this heading.
`
`
`
`
`IPR2015-01513 (Patent 8,375,957 B2)
`IPR2015-01578 (Patent 8,689,805 B2)
`IPR2015-01587 (Patent 8,365,742 B2)
`IPR2015-01604 (Patent 8,863,752 B2)
`
`
`The parties filed a joint motion to terminate each proceeding
`identified in the caption. Paper 11.2 Along with the motion, the parties filed
`a copy of a document they describe as their written settlement agreement
`(Ex. 2029), as well as a separate joint request to treat the settlement
`agreement as business confidential information. Paper 12; see 37 C.F.R.
`§ 42.74(c) (a party to a settlement may request that the settlement agreement
`be treated as business confidential and be kept separate from the patent file).
`The parties represent that the settlement agreement resolves all disputes
`between the parties that involve the patents-at-issue. Paper 11, 4–5.
`The cases are in a preliminary stage. The Board has not yet issued
`decisions on whether to institute the proceedings.
`We are persuaded that, under these circumstances, it is appropriate to
`dismiss the petition in each proceeding. 35 C.F.R. § 42.71(a). This paper
`does not constitute a final written decision pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 318(a).
`
`It is
`ORDERED that the joint motion to terminate is granted and the
`petition is dismissed in each proceeding;
`
`
`2 Substantially similar papers and exhibits were filed in each proceeding.
`For convenience, we refer to paper and exhibit numbers in IPR2015-01513.

`agreement as business confidential information, to be kept separate from the
`patent file, is granted in each proceeding.
