`
`JUDGMENT
`
`Joint Motion to Terminate
`
`37 C.F.R. § 42.72
`
`On February 17, 2017, the parties filed a joint motion to terminate this
`
`inter partes review with respect to both Petitioner and Patent Owner, on the
`
`basis that they have settled. Paper 26, 1. Also on February 17, 2017, the
`
`parties filed a copy of their written settlement agreement covering Patent
`
`Page 17 of 1462
`
`Page 17 of 1462
`
`
`
`IPR2016-0042l
`
`Patent 7,489,786 B2
`
`No. 7,489,786 B2 involved in this inter partes review (Ex. 2001), and a joint
`
`request to have their settlement agreement treated as business confidential
`
`information under 35 U.S.C. § 317(b) and 37 CPR. § 42.74(c) (Paper 27).
`
`Under 35 U.S.C. § 317(a), “[a]n inter partes review instituted under
`
`this chapter shall be terminated with respect to any petitioner upon the joint
`
`request of the petitioner and patent owner, unless the Office has decided the
`
`merits of the proceeding before the request for termination is filed.” The
`
`requirement for terminating this proceeding with respect to Petitioner is met.
`
`Under 35 U.S.C. § 317(a), “If no petitioner remains in the inter partes
`
`review, the Office may terminate the review or proceed to a final written
`
`decision under section 318(a).” Toyota Motor Corporation is the sole
`
`petitioner in this proceeding. The Board has discretion to terminate this
`
`proceeding with respect to Blitzsafe Texas, LLC as Patent Owner.
`
`In this proceeding, all substantive papers have been filed by the
`
`parties, and we have ordered that no oral hearing will be held. Paper 25. A
`
`final written decision is expected by July 7, 2017, one year from institution
`
`of trial on July 7, 2016. In the joint motion, the parties indicate that they
`
`have settled their related district court action involving Patent No. 7,489,786
`
`B2 and have moved before the district court for dismissal of the action.
`
`Paper 26, 1. They also indicate that they have agreed to seek termination of
`
`this inter partes review proceeding. Id.
`
`In the circumstances of this case, particularly in light of the fact that a
`
`final written decision is not due until more than four months from now, we
`

`
`Page 18 of 1462
`
`
`
`IPR2016-00421
`
`Patent 7,489,786 B2
`
`determine that termination with respect to both Petitioner and Patent Owner
`
`is appropriate.
`
`It is
`
`ORDERED that the joint motion to terminate IPR2016—00421 both as
`
`to Petitioner and Patent Owner is granted, and that this inter partes review is
`
`hereby terminated as to all parties including Toyota Motor Corporation as
`
`Petitioner and Blitzsafe Texas, LLC as Patent Owner; and
`
`FURTHER ORDERED that the parties’ joint request (Paper 27) to
`
`have their settlement agreement (Exhibit 2001) treated as business
`
`confidential information under 35 U.S.C. § 317(b) and 37 C.F.R. § 42.74(c)
`
`is also granted.

`
`I.
`
`INTRODUCTION
`
`A.
`
`Background
`
`On July 21, 2016, Petitioner filed a Petition (Paper 1, “Pet.”) to
`
`institute inter partes review of claims 1, 5—8, 10, 14, 57, 60—62, 64, and 65
`
`ofU.S. Patent No. 7,489,786 B2 (Ex. 1001, “the ’786 patent”). On
`
`November 15, 2016, Patent Owner filed a Preliminary Response (Paper 6,
`
`“Prelim. Resp”).
`
`To institute an inter partes review, we must determine that the
`
`information presented in the Petition shows “that there is a reasonable
`
`likelihood that the petitioner would prevail with respect to at least 1 of the
`
`claims challenged in the petition.” 35 U.S.C. § 314(a). Having considered
`
`both the Petition and the Preliminary Response, we determine that Petitioner
`
`has not demonstrated a reasonable likelihood that it would prevail in
`
`establishing the unpatentability of any of claims 1, 5—8, 10, 14, 57, 60—62,
`
`64, and 65. We do not institute an inter partes review of any claim of the
`
`’786 patent.
`
`B.
`
`Related Matters
`
`Petitioner indicates that the ’786 patent was asserted by Patent Owner
`
`against Petitioner in Blitzsafe Texas, LLC v. Honda Motor Co., Ltd. et al.,
`
`No. 2:15-cv-1274 (ED. Tex.). Pet. 2. The parties indicate that the
`
`‘786 patent is the subject of four other actions in the Eastern District of
`
`Texas. Pet. 58—59; Paper 3, 1. The parties further indicate that the
`
`’786 patent is the subject of two concluded matters in the District of New
`
`Jersey. Pet. 59; Paper 3, 2. The ’786 patent also is the subject patent in
`
`these inter partes review proceedings:
`

`
`The ’786 Patent
`
`The ’786 patent is titled “Audio Device Integration System.”
`
`Ex. 1001, (54). The Abstract portion of the Specification explains:
`
`[O]ne or more after-market audio devices, such as a CD player,
`CD changer, MP3 player, satellite receiver, DAB receiver, or the

`generated by the after-market system are also in a proprietary
`format that is not recognizable by the car stereo. Thus, in order
`to integrate after-market systems with car stereos, it is necessary
`to convert signals between such systems.
`
`Id. at 1:36—44. In the Summary of the Invention portion of the
`
`Specification, it is stated:
