`BEFORE THE PATENT TRIAL AND APPEAL BOARD
`

`
`NOMADIX, INC.,
`Patent Owner.

`
`JOINT MOTION TO TERMINATE PROCEEDING
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`IPR2019-00253
`Patent 8,626,922
`
`
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.72, Petitioner and Patent Owner jointly move to
`
`terminate the present proceeding, Case IPR2019-00253. The Board authorized this
`
`joint motion on May 4, 2020.
`
`Petitioner filed a petition for inter partes review of U.S. Patent No. 8,626,922
`
`on November 12, 2018. On January 23, 2020, in Nomadix, Inc. v. Guest-Tek
`
`Interactive Entertainment Ltd., Case No. CV19-04980 AB (FFMx), the United
`
`States District Court for the Central District of California (“the District Court”)
`
`granted a motion by Patent Owner for summary judgment, holding that, by initiating
`
`the present inter partes review proceeding, Petitioner violated the forum-selection
`
`clause in a patent license agreement that the parties entered into in December, 2010.
`
`(Ex. 2009.) On April 22, 2020, the District Court entered final judgment in Patent
`
`Owner’s favor, ordering Petitioner to join Patent Owner in moving to terminate the
`
`present proceeding and enjoining Petitioner from otherwise participating further in
`
`the present proceeding. (Ex. 2010.) In particular, the District Court ordered
`
`Petitioner to join Patent Owner in filing the present motion to terminate. (Id.) The
`
`Board has not entered a final written decision in the inter partes review. Termination
`
`of this proceeding in its entirety as to all parties is consistent with the District Court’s
`
`judgment.
