`
`TERMINATION
`Dismissing the Petition
`37 C.F.R. §§ 42.5(a), 42.71(a)
`
`On January 14, 2016, we authorized the parties via e-mail to file a
`joint request to terminate this proceeding and to file the settlement
`agreement as business confidential information under 37 C.F.R. § 42.74(c).
`On January 15, 2016, the parties filed their joint motion to terminate.
`Paper 6. With their joint motion to terminate, the parties also filed a copy of
`
`
`
`IPR2016-00032
`Patent 6,105,013
`
`a written settlement agreement that they request be kept confidential. Paper
`7, at 1; see also Exhibit 2002 (a copy of the settlement agreement).
`We have not instituted trial in this proceeding. Thus, this proceeding
`is in its initial stages. The parties indicate that they have agreed to resolve
`all disputes between them related to the challenged patent. Paper 6, at 1.
`Under these circumstances, we determine that it is appropriate to dismiss the
`petition. See 37 C.F.R. §§ 42.5(a), 42.71(a). This paper does not constitute
`a final written decision pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 318(a).
`Accordingly, it is
`ORDERED that the Joint Motion to Terminate Proceeding Pursuant to
`35 U.S.C. § 317(a), Paper 6, is granted;
`FURTHER ORDERED that the Petition for Inter Partes Review of
`the above-referenced patent is dismissed; and
`FURTHER ORDERED that the Joint Request to File Settlement
`Agreement as Business Confidential Information Under 35 U.S.C. § 317(b),
`Paper 7, is granted.
