`RE: IPR2020-01318: Regeneron v. Novartis; Motion to Terminate Proceedings
`Tuesday, November 24, 2020 9:11:35 AM
`
`Counsel:
`
`The panel has reviewed Petitioner’s request to file a motion to terminate the proceedings in IPR2020-
`01318 pursuant to 37 C.F.R. §§ 42.5(a), 42.71(a). The panel authorizes the request without the need for a
`conference call. Petitioner is authorized to file an “Unopposed Motion to Dismiss the Petition and to
`Terminate the Proceeding” (37 C.F.R. § 42.72) by December 8, 2020. Petitioner must indicate in the
`motion whether it is unopposed and what impact, if any, the termination has on the remaining petition in
`IPR2020-01317.

`
`
`IPR2020-01318
`Patent 9,220,631 B2
`
`Dear Trial Board:
`
`We are counsel of record for Petitioner Regeneron Pharmaceuticals in the above-identified IPR.
`Petitioner requests permission to file a motion to terminate the proceedings in IPR2020-01318
`pursuant to 37 C.F.R. §§ 42.5(a), 42.71(a). Because the Board has not yet determined whether to
`institute a trial, dismissal of the Petition and termination of the proceedings will preserve the
`resources of the Board and the parties, and will promote efficiency as contemplated by 37 C.F.R. §
`42.1(b). Co-pending IPR2020-01317, directed to the same patent, will remain pending for the
`
`Regeneron Exhibit 1066.001
`Regeneron v. Novartis
`IPR2020-01317
`
`
`
`Board’s consideration.
`
`We have conferred with counsel for Patent Owner, copied on this email, and Patent Owner does not
`oppose Petitioner’s contemplated motion. If necessary, the parties are available for a call with the
`Board on the following dates and times:
`
`Monday, November 23 after 2 pm Eastern
`Tuesday, November 24 after 1 pm Eastern
`Wednesday, November 25 before 11 am Eastern.
`
`Respectfully submitted,
`
`Brian Ferguson
`Backup Counsel for Petitioner
