`
`
`JOINT MOTION TO TREAT SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT AS
`BUSINESS CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
`
`
`
`Pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 317(b), 37 C.F.R. § 42.74(c), and 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 request to file the settlement agreement
`
`between the parties – as referenced in the Joint Motion to Terminate, filed
`
`concurrently herewith, and designated as Exhibit 1024 – as business confidential
`
`information which shall be kept separate from the file of the involved patent. The
`
`settlement agreement describes the confidential terms of the parties’ settlement,
`
`which constitutes confidential information under the Board’s rules. See 37 C.F.R. §
`
`42.54; Office Patent Trial Practice Guide, 77 Fed. Reg. 48,756, 48,760 (Aug. 14,
`
`2012). In view of that request, the settlement agreement has been filed for access
`
`by the “Parties and Board Only.”
