`ORDER
`Conduct of the Proceeding
`37 C.F.R. § 42.5
`
`
`
`IPR2016-00753
`Patent 7,752,649 B1
`
`
`
`On March 2, 2017, counsel for each party requested authorization to
`
`file (1) a joint motion to terminate, and (2) a request for confidential
`
`treatment of settlement papers pursuant to 37 CFR §42.74(c) in IPR2016-
`
`00753.
`
`A joint motion for termination should (1) include a brief explanation
`
`as to why termination is appropriate; (2) identify all parties in any related
`
`litigation involving the patent at issue in this proceeding; (3) identify any
`
`related proceedings currently before the USPTO; and (4) discuss specifically
`
`the current status of each such related litigation or proceeding with respect to
`
`each party to the litigation or proceeding. The joint motion for termination
`
`must be accompanied by a true copy of the settlement agreement between
`
`the parties, as required by 35 U.S.C. § 317(b) and 37 C.F.R. § 42.74(b). A
`
`redacted version will not be accepted as a true copy of the settlement
`
`agreement.
`
`Therefore, it is:
`
`ORDERED that the parties are authorized to file in each proceeding a
`
`joint motion to terminate the proceeding in accordance with 37 C.F.R.
`
`§ 42.20; and
`
`ORDERED that the parties are authorized to file in each proceeding a
`
`request for confidential treatment of settlement papers pursuant to 37 C.F.R.
`
`2
`
`§42.74(c).
