`PETITIONERS AND PATENT OWNER’S JOINT REQUEST TO FILE
`SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT AS BUSINESS CONFIDENTIAL
`INFORMATION PURSUANT TO 35 U.S.C. § 317
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 317(b) and 37 C.F.R. § 42.72, Microsoft Corporation
`
`(“Petitioner”) and Worlds Inc. (“Patent Owner”) (collectively, “the Parties”) hereby
`
`seek to file a true copy of the settlement agreement between the Parties in connection
`
`with the Parties’ joint request for termination of the above-captioned inter partes
`
`review. The settlement agreement is being filed as confidential Exhibit 1042.
`
`Because the agreement contains business confidential information, the Parties
`
`request the Board treat the agreement as business confidential information, keep the
`
`agreement separate from the file of U.S. Patent No. 8,082,501, and make it available
`
`only where required by statute or regulation. See 35 U.S.C. § 317(b); 37 C.F.R. §
`
`42.72(c) (restricting access except to Federal Government agencies upon written
`
`request, or to a person on a showing of good cause).
