`
`Pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 317(b) and 37 C.F.R. § 42.74(c) and the Board’s

`
`information the true and complete copy of the Settlement Agreement (Confidential

`herewith.
`
`35 U.S.C. § 317(b) provides that:
`
`At the request of a party to the proceeding, the agreement or
`understanding shall be treated as business confidential information,
`shall be kept separate from the file of the involved patents, and shall

`request, or to any person on a showing of good cause.
`
`Likewise, 37 C.F.R. § 42.74(c) provides that:
`
`A party to a settlement may request that the settlement be treated as
`business confidential information and be kept separate from the files
`of an involved patent or application. The request must be filed with
`the settlement. If a timely request is filed, the settlement shall only be
`available:
`
`(1) To a Government agency on written request to the Board; or

`settlement agreement available, along with the fee specified in

`(Confidential Exhibit 1030) (i) be treated as business confidential information, (ii)
`
`be maintained separate from the publicly available file of the involved patent, and
`
`(iii) shall be made available only to Federal Government agencies on written
`
`request, or to persons showing good cause on written request, pursuant to 35
