`Patent 6,757,717
`
`
`Pursuant to authorization provided by the Board during the May 5, 2017,
`
`conference call and the follow-up email of the same date, Petitioner Microsoft
`
`Corporation and Patent Owner Proxyconn, Inc. (the “Parties”) jointly move for
`
`termination of this proceeding, without prejudice to either Party.
`
`Termination is appropriate because the parties have reached settlement on all
`
`claims in the underlying litigation and do not contemplate any further litigation or
`
`controversy involving the challenged patent. Pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 317(b) and
`
`37 C.F.R. § 42.74, the parties submit as Exhibit 1024 a copy of the signed
`
`Confidential Settlement Agreement between the parties. On April 25, 2017, the
`
`district court dismissed the underlying litigation without prejudice, retaining
`
`jurisdiction for thirty (30) days to reopen the action upon showing of good cause
`
`that the settlement has not been consummated.
`
`The Board has not instituted trial, does not have before it full briefing on the
`
`trial issues, and has not entered a final decision. Although inter partes review has
`
`not been instituted, the other requirements of 35 U.S.C. § 317(a) are satisfied here.
`
`Accordingly, it is appropriate to enter judgment terminating this proceeding, prior
`
`to issuance of an institution decision.
`
`Simultaneous with this motion, the parties file a joint motion to treat the
`
`settlement agreement as business confidential information, pursuant to 35 U.S.C.
`
`§ 317(b) and 37 C.F.R. § 42.74(c).
