`Patent 8,603,514 B2
`
`
`On September 29, 2017, the parties filed a joint motion to terminate
`the proceeding under 35 U.S.C § 317(a). Paper 19. In addition, citing to 35
`U.S.C § 317(b) and 37 C.F.R. §§ 42.72 and 42.74, the parties filed a copy of
`their written settlement agreement, Ex. 1030, and a joint request that the
`settlement agreement be treated as business confidential information and
`kept separate from the file of U.S. Patent No. 8,603,514 B2, Paper 20.
`In the joint motion, the parties explain that termination of the
`proceeding is appropriate because they have reached an agreement settling
`their dispute with respect to U.S. Patent No. 8,603,514 B2. Paper 19, 1. The
`parties explain also that they have agreed to file a “Consent Judgment” in the
`related district court litigation, Indivior Inc., et al. v. Mylan Technologies
`Inc., et al., C.A. No. 1:15-01016-RGA (D. Del.). Id.
`Under these circumstances, we determine that it is appropriate to enter
`judgment terminating this proceeding. Additionally, we grant the parties’
`request for the settlement agreement to be treated as business confidential
`information and kept separate from the file of U.S. Patent No. 8,603,514 B2.
`
`Accordingly, it is
`ORDERED that the joint motion to terminate the proceeding is
`granted; and
`FURTHER ORDERED that the joint request that the settlement
`agreement, Ex. 1030 (original and replacement), be treated as business
`confidential information and kept separate from the file of the involved
`patent under the provisions of 35 U.S.C. § 317(b) and 37 C.F.R. § 42.74(c)
`is granted; and
`FURTHER ORDERED that the proceeding is terminated.
