`Subject: RE: IPR2017-01508 & 2017-01509; Request for Authorization to Terminate
`
`Counsel:
`
`No conference is necessary. The ZTE petitioners and Patent Owner are authorized to file a joint
`motion to terminate.
`
`The parties are reminded of their obligation under 35 U.S.C. 317 to file the settlement
`agreement and any collateral agreements (including any licensing agreements) in each of the
`cases. The parties should also include a statement that there are no other agreements , oral or
`written, between the parties made in connection with, or in contemplation of, the termination
`of this proceeding, assuming such statement is correct. If the parties cannot make such
`statement, the other agreement(s) also should be filed under 37 C.F.R. 42.74(c). All agreements
`between the parties need to have the necessary signatures.
`
`The ZTE petitioners and Patent Owner may also file requests to treat the settlement
`agreements as confidential under 37 C.F.R. 42.74(c). If the ZTE petitioners and Patent Owner
`wish to ensure that the settlement papers are kept confidential from any third party (including
`from the previous HTC petitioners), the papers may be filed as “BOARD ONLY.”
`
`The due date for filing the motions is Tuesday, September 25, 2018.
