`
`
`
`Case IPR2016-01326
`Patent 8,466,139 B2
`
`
`On January 9, 2017, the parties filed a Joint Motion to Terminate this
`
`proceeding pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 317(a). Paper 15. In addition, pursuant
`
`to 35 U.S.C. § 317(b) and 37 C.F.R. § 42.74(c), the parties filed a true and
`
`correct copy of a Settlement and License Agreement (Paper 16), along with
`
`a Joint Request That Settlement Agreement Be Treated as Business
`
`Confidential Information, to be kept separate from the publicly available
`
`patent files (Paper 17).
`
`This case is in the preliminary stage. No decision on whether to
`
`institute a trial has been made. Under the circumstances, it is appropriate to
`
`terminate the proceeding. Therefore, the Joint Motion to Terminate this
`
`proceeding is GRANTED.
`
`
`
`Accordingly, it is
`
`ORDERED that the Joint Motion to Terminate Proceeding is
`
`GRANTED and the proceeding is hereby TERMINATED; and
`
`FURTHER ORDERED that the Joint Request That Settlement
`
`Agreement Be Treated as Business Confidential Information is GRANTED,
`
`and the Settlement and License Agreement will be kept separate from the
`
`
`
`patent files.
