`
`32 of the ’375 patent. See Paper No. 9. The Board did not institute trial as to
`
`claims 9-10, 12, 25-26, and 28. Id.

`
`have reached agreement to terminate this Inter Partes Review.

`The Release Agreement between Cellco Partnership d/b/a Verizon Wireless

`
`This Joint Motion, together with the Joint Motion to Terminate IPR 2016-

`
`The ’375 Patent is the subject of one other instituted IPR—IPR2016-00824,
`
`which the parties are seeking to contemporaneously terminate by joint motion.
`
`There are no current or contemplated pending litigation proceedings involving the
`
`’375 Patent.
