`Case IPR2020-01741
`Attorney Docket No: I4520.00016
`
`
`
`
`Petitioner and Patent Owner (collectively “Parties”) hereby jointly move for
`
`an order terminating the preliminary proceeding initiated by the petition for inter
`
`partes review filed on October 2, 2020, directed to Patent No. 7,372,961 (“the
`
`challenged patent”) and assigned case number IPR2020-01741.
`
`Patent Owner has yet to file a preliminary response. The Board has yet to
`
`issue a decision to institute trial.
`
`1. Reasons Why Termination Is Appropriate
`
`The Board emailed the Parties on March 3, 2021 to authorize this filing of a
`
`“Joint Motion To Terminate.” Termination is proper because the Parties are jointly
`
`requesting termination, this IPR proceeding is still in its early stages, and the Board
`
`has not yet “decided the merits of the proceeding.” Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.
`
`et al v. Neodron Ltd., IPR2020-01682, Paper 14, 3 (February 18, 2021); see also
`
`Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. v. Fundamental Innovation Systems Int’l, IPR2018-
`
`00605, Paper 10, 2 (PTAB July 16, 2018) (noting that 35 U.S.C. § 317 “does not
`
`govern settlement prior to institution,” but explaining that “it is appropriate to
`
`dismiss the proceedings pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.71(a)”). Accordingly,
`
`termination is appropriate here.
`
`The parties are filing herewith as Exhibit 1025, a true copy of settlement
`
`agreement entered between the Parties and executed on February 22, 2021. See 37
`
`
`
`
`2
`
`

`

`
`C.F.R. § 42.74(c). The settlement agreement was entered into in contemplation of
`
`Case IPR2020-01741
`Attorney Docket No: I4520.00016
`
`terminating this proceeding. This settlement agreement is the only agreement or
`
`understanding between Petitioner and Patent Owner made in connection with, or in
`
`contemplation of terminating this proceeding. See 37 C.F.R. § 42.74(b). A request
`
`is being filed herewith to treat this agreement as “business confidential information”
`
`and to keep it separate from the files of the involved patent. See 37 C.F.R. § 42.74(c).
`
`The Parties understand that if the Board terminates this IPR proceeding, no
`
`estoppel under 35 U.S.C. § 315(e) or 37 C.F.R. § 42.73(d)(1) will attach to
`
`Petitioner. The Parties understand that if the Board terminates this petition for inter
`
`partes review before a final written decision on patentability, no preclusion will
`
`attach to Patent Owner under 37 C.F.R. § 42.73(d)(3).
`
`The lawsuit between Patent Owner and Petitioner involving the challenged
`
`patent here has been dismissed. The parties do not contemplate any litigation or
`
`proceeding involving the challenged patent in the foreseeable future.
`
`2.
`
`No Future Participation by Petitioner
`
`Petitioner will not be participating further in this proceeding.
`
`3.
`
`Conclusion
`
`The parties have settled all disputes relating to the challenged patent. This
`
`inter partes review is in an early stage, and the Board has not entered a final written
`
`
`
`
`3
`
`

`

`
`decision on the merits in this proceeding. Accordingly, the parties respectfully
`
`Case IPR2020-01741
`Attorney Docket No: I4520.00016
`
`request the Board to terminate this proceeding in its entirety.
