`ORDER
`Cancelling Oral Argument
`37 C.F.R. § 42.5(a)
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`1 We exercise our discretion to issue one Order to be filed in both cases. The
`Parties are not authorized to use this style heading for any subsequent papers.
`
`
`
`
`Case IPR2017-01159 (Patent 9,254,278 B2)
`Case IPR2017-01160 (Patent 9,326,966 B2)
`
`
`Both Parties requested oral argument in the above-identified proceedings
`(IPR2017-01159, Paper 27; IPR2017-01160, Paper 28). We granted the requests
`and scheduled oral argument for July 9, 2018. Paper 33.2 The deadline for service
`of demonstrative exhibits was set for June 29, 2018. Paper 33, 2. On June 27,
`2018, the Parties emailed the Board to request that the oral argument be canceled
`and that the deadline for serving demonstratives be excused. Counsel also
`contacted the Board on June 29, 2018, to indicate that the parties have reached a
`settlement.
`In light of the aforementioned circumstances, we grant the Parties’ request to
`excuse the service of demonstratives on June 29, 2018, and cancel the oral
`argument scheduled for July 9, 2018. In light of the parties reaching settlement,
`the parties are authorized to file a joint motion to terminate the proceedings based
`on settlement no later than July 13, 2018.
`Accordingly, it is
`ORDERED that the June 29, 2018, deadline for filing demonstratives is
`excused and the oral argument scheduled for July 9, 2018, is cancelled; and
`FURTHER ORDERED that, the parties are authorized to a motion to
`terminate the proceedings no later than July 13, 2018.
`
`

`
`
`
`
`2 The reference to Paper 33 is to our Order in each of IPR2017-01159 and
`IPR2017-01160.
