`TERMINATION

`Patent 9,258,968
`
`
`Petitioners in this proceeding filed a petition requesting inter partes
`review of the same claims of Patent 9,258,698 B2 that are challenged in
`IPR2019-00131 (“’131 IPR”) on the same grounds at issue in the ’131 IPR.
`Paper 1. Petitioners also filed a Motion for Joinder requesting to join the
`’131 IPR. Paper 4. On November 21, 2019, we instituted trial and granted
`the Motion for Joinder. See Paper 15, 36 (ordering that “IPR2019-01108 is
`instituted and the ’1108 Petitioners are joined with IPR2019-00131”). The
`Decision instituting trial and granting joinder also provided that “no further
`papers will be filed in IPR2019-01108 and all further filings in the joined
`proceedings will be in IPR2019-00131.” Paper 15, 36. Thus, the ’131 IPR
`was the case that moved forward after joinder. A final written decision
`under 35 U.S.C. § 318(a) has been issued in the ’131 IPR. IPR2019-00131,
`Paper 59.
`Our Rules provide that “[t]he Board may terminate a trial without
`rendering a final written decision, where appropriate.” 37 C.F.R. § 42.72.
`Under the particular circumstances of this proceeding, namely the joinder of
`Petitioners to the ’131 IPR and the issuance of a final written decision in the
`’131 IPR, we determine that termination of this inter partes review without
`rendering a final written decision is appropriate.
`Accordingly, it is:
`ORDERED that this trial is terminated under 37 C.F.R. § 42.72, and
`no final written decision will be rendered on the record in this proceeding.
