`
`Patent Owner Neodron Ltd. and Petitioners Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd,
`
`Samsung Electronics America, Inc. (collectively “Samsung”), HP Inc., Lenovo
`
`(United States) Inc., Motorola Mobility LLC., Dell Inc., and Dell Products LP.
`
`(collectively “Dell”), have reached a settlement. The settlement agreements resolve
`
`the disputes in the above-captioned inter partes review relating to U.S. Patent No.
`
`8,432,173 (“Patent-in-Suit”). The parties jointly request that the Board treat the
`
`settlement agreements as business confidential information and keep them separate
`
`from the files of this proceeding and the files of the Patent-in-Suit. The parties were
`
`authorized to file this Joint Motion by the Board (via email) on February 1, 2021.
`
`I.
`
`Statement of Precise Relief Requested
`
`The parties jointly request that the Board treat the settlement agreements as
`
`business confidential information and keep them separate from the files of this
`
`proceeding and the files of the Patent-in-Suit. The parties request that the settlement
`
`agreements “be made available only to Federal Government agencies on written
`
`request, or to any person on a showing of good cause” in accordance with 35 U.S.C.
`
`§ 317(b) and 37 C.F.R. § 42.74.
`
`II. Reasons Why Relief Is Appropriate
`
`The terms of the settlement agreements require the parties to treat the
`
`settlement agreements as confidential information and limit their ability to share the
`
`settlement agreements or disclose their content with third parties. The parties have
`
`1
`
`
`

`
`IPR2020-00267 (Patent 8,432,173)
`IPR2020-00653 (Patent 8,432,173)
`
`filed copies of the settlement agreements with the Board, as required by 35 U.S.C.
`
`§ 317(b) and 37 C.F.R. § 42.74. The confidential settlement agreements were filed
`
`in the PTAB E2E system to provide availability only to the Board.
