IN THE UNITED STATES PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE
`
`BEFORE THE PATENT TRIAL AND APPEAL BOARD
`
`
`
`LG ELECTRONICS, INC., ZTE (USA) Inc., OLYMPUS CORPORATION
`AND OLYMPUS AMERICA, INC.
`
`
`Petitioners,
`
`v.
`
`Papst Licensing GmbH & Co. KG
`
`Patent Owner.
`
`Case No. IPR2017-004431
`Patent No. 6,470,399 B1
`
`
`JOINT MOTION TO TERMINATE
`WITH RESPECT TO LG ELECTRONICS, INC.
`PURSUANT TO 35 U.S.C. § 317 AND 37 C.F.R. § 42.74
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`1 Case IPR2017-01682 has been joined with this proceeding.
`
`

`

`IPR2017-00443
`
`Pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 317, 37 C.F.R. §§ 42.72 and 42.74, and the Board’s
`
`authorization of November 28, 2017, Petitioner LG Electronics, Inc. (“LG”) and
`
`Patent Owner Papst Licensing GmbH & Co. KG (“Patent Owner” or “Papst”)
`
`jointly move to terminate the present inter partes review proceeding with respect
`
`to LG in light of Patent Owner and LG’s settlement of their dispute regarding U.S.
`
`Patent No. 6,470,399 (“the ’399 patent”).
`
`LG and Patent Owner are concurrently filing a true and complete copy of
`
`their written Settlement Agreement (Confidential Exhibit 2011) in connection with
`
`this matter as required by the statute. LG and Patent Owner certify that there are
`
`no other agreements or understandings, oral or written, between the parties,
`
`including any collateral agreements, made in connection with, or in contemplation
`
`of, the termination of the present proceeding with respect to LG. A joint request to
`
`treat the Settlement Agreement as business confidential information kept separate
`
`from the file of the involved patent pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 317(b) is being filed
`
`concurrently.
`

`
`

`

`IPR2017-00443
`
`LEGAL STANDARD
`An inter partes review proceeding “shall be terminated with respect to any
`
`petitioner upon the joint request of the petitioner and the patent owner, unless the
`
`Office has decided the merits of the proceeding before the request for termination
`
`is filed.” 35 U.S.C. § 317(a). A joint motion to terminate generally “must (1)
`
`include a brief explanation as to why termination is appropriate; (2) identify all
`
`parties in any related litigation involving the patents at issue; (3) identify any
`
`related proceedings currently before the Office, and (4) discuss specifically the
`
`current status of each such related litigation or proceeding with respect to each
`
`party to the litigation or proceeding.” Heartland Tanning, Inc. v. Sunless, Inc.,
`
`IPR2014-00018, Paper No. 26, at *2 (P.T.A.B. July 28, 2014).
`
`ARGUMENT
`Termination of the present inter partes review proceeding with respect to
`
`LG is appropriate because (1) LG and Patent Owner have settled their dispute
`
`regarding the ’399 patent and have agreed to terminate the proceeding with respect
`
`to LG, (2) the Office has not yet decided the merits of the proceeding, (3) the
`
`proceeding is expected to continue with Petitioners ZTE (USA) Inc. (“ZTE”),
`
`Olympus Corporation and Olympus America, Inc. (“Olympus”), and (4) public
`
`policy favors the termination.
`
`2
`
`

`

`IPR2017-00443
`
`First, the Settlement Agreement completely resolves the controversy
`
`between Patent Owner and LG relating to the ’399 patent. LG Electronics USA,
`
`Inc., and LG Electronics Mobilecomm USA, Inc., which are two of the real parties
`
`in interest in the present proceeding, were named defendants in Papst Licensing
`
`GmbH & Co. KG v. Apple Inc., No. 6:15-cv-1095-RWS (E.D. Tex) and the
`
`consolidated case Papst Licensing GmbH & Co. KG v. LG Electronics, Inc., No.
`
`6:15-cv-1099-RWS (E.D. Tex.). On November 27, 2017, the Court ordered that
`
`all claims against the LG entities and all counterclaims by the LG entities were
`
`dismissed with prejudice.
`
`Second, the Office has not decided the merits of the proceeding. Although
`
`the Board has instituted trial (Paper 7), the proceeding is still in the briefing stage
`
`and there is no determination of whether an oral hearing will occur.
`
`Third, LG filed the Petition jointly with ZTE and Olympus has joined in this
`
`IPR proceeding. ZTE and Olympus are not parties to the Settlement Agreement
`
`and the parties have not requested that the proceeding be terminated with respect to
`
`ZTE and Olympus. This termination will not impact petitioners ZTE and Olympus
`
`and the proceeding is therefore expected to continue with ZTE and Olympus as
`
`petitioners.
`
`Fourth, public policy favors the termination. As recognized by the rules of
`
`practice before the Board:
`
`3
`
`

`

`IPR2017-00443
`
`There are strong public policy reasons to favor settlement
`between the parties to a proceeding. The Board will be
`available to facilitate settlement discussions, and where
`appropriate, may require a settlement discussion as part
`of the proceeding. The Board expects that a proceeding
`will terminate after the filing of a settlement agreement,
`unless the Board has already decided the merits of the
`proceeding.
`
`Patent Office Trial Practice Guide, Fed. Register, Vol. 77, No. 157 at 48768 (Aug.
`
`14, 2012). Moreover, no public interest or other factors militate against
`
`termination of this proceeding with respect to LG.
`
`As to the remaining Heartland Tanning requirements, Exhibit A identifies
`
`each district court litigation that involves the ’399 patent or any related patents and
`
`discusses the current status of these related litigations. Exhibit B identifies all
`
`petitions for Inter Partes Review that have been filed against the ’399 patent or
`
`any related patent and discusses the status of each.
`
`CONCLUSION
`For the foregoing reasons, LG and Patent Owner jointly and respectfully
`
`request that the instant proceeding be terminated with respect to LG.
`
`Respectfully submitted,
`
