`
`In an e-mail dated November 8, 2021, we authorized Microsoft
`Corporation (“Microsoft”) and Synkloud Technologies, LLC (“Patent
`Owner”) to file motions to terminate the instant proceedings with respect to
`Microsoft. On November 11, 2021, and pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 317 and 37
`C.F.R. § 42.74, Microsoft and Patent Owner filed a joint motion to terminate
`these proceedings with respect to Microsoft and a joint request to have their
`settlement agreement treated as confidential business information under 35
`U.S.C. § 317 and 37 C.F.R. § 42.74 in each proceeding. Papers 28, 29.2 In
`the joint motion, Microsoft and Patent Owner represent that the settlement
`agreement is with “regard to the patents at issue in these proceedings” and is
`a true copy. Paper 28, 1–2.
`At this juncture of the proceedings, the Board has not entered any
`final decisions. Based on the facts of these proceedings, we determine that it
`is appropriate to terminate these proceedings with respect to Microsoft. The
`proceedings are not terminated with respect to HP Inc.
`Accordingly, it is
`ORDERED that the joint request that the settlement agreement be
`treated as business confidential information, to be kept separate from the
`patent files is granted;
`FURTHER ORDERED that the joint motion to terminate each
`proceeding with respect to Microsoft is granted; and
`FURTHER ORDERED that each proceeding will continue with HP
`Inc. as Petitioner.
