`RE: IPR2019-00539 through -00544: Request for Joint Motions to Terminate pursuant to settlement
`Friday, April 19, 2019 12:11:22 PM
`
`Counsel,
`
`No conference is necessary. The parties are authorized to file the motions 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).
`
`The parties may also file requests to treat these agreements as confidential under 37 C.F.R. 42.74(c). The
`due date for filing the motions is Friday May 3, 2019. The parties are reminded, however, of the Board's
`three-month statutory deadline for determining whether to institute inter partes reviews in the pending
`cases.

`Subject: IPR2019-00539 through -00544: Request for Joint Motions to Terminate pursuant to
`settlement
`
`To the Patent Trial and Appeal Board:
`
`Petitioner Cisco Systems, Inc. and Patent Owner Meetrix IP, LLC have reached an agreement to settle
`IPR2019-00539, -00540, -00541, -00542, -00543, and -00544.
`
`Counsel for the parties have conferred via e-mail and request authorization to file, pursuant to 35
`U.S.C. § 317, a joint motion to terminate in each of the subject proceedings. The parties also
`request to file in each proceeding, under 37 CFR 42.74(b) and (c), a copy of the signed settlement
`agreement together with a request to treat the settlement agreement as business confidential
`
`

`

`information to be kept separate.
`
`As this is a routine settlement request and there are no impending deadlines, the parties do not
`anticipate that a call with the Board is required, but if requested the parties will identify proposed
`times for a call.
`
`Best regards,
`Theo Foster
`Counsel for Cisco Systems, Inc.
