`Patent 6,411,941
`
`On April 25, 2016, Apple Inc. (“Apple”) and Ancora Technologies
`
`Inc. (“Ancora”) filed a joint motion to terminate the instant proceeding in
`
`view ofthe parties’ agreementto settle their disputes. Paper 6. The parties
`
`also filed a true copy of their written settlement agreement made in
`
`connection with the termination of the instant proceeding (Ex. 1030), and a
`
`joint request to havetheir settlement agreementtreated as confidential
`
`business information under 37 C.F.R. § 42.74(c). Paper6, 3.
`
`Generally, the Board expects that a covered business method patent
`
`review will terminate afterthe filing of a settlement agreement. See, e.g.,
`
`Office Patent Trial Practice Guide, 77 Fed. Reg. 48,756, 48,768 (Aug.14,
`2012). Here, in their joint motion to terminate, the parties represent that
`they agreed tosettle their respective claims against each otherin the
`settlement agreement executed by the parties. Paper 6, 1-2. The parties also
`indicate that they have resolvedtheir disputes. Jd. In particular, the district
`court proceedings! related to the instant proceeding have been dismissed. Id.
`at 2. The parties agreed to refrain, to the extent permitted by law, from
`
`further participation in this proceeding. Jd.at 3.
`Apple’s petition was filed on January 8, 2016, but Ancora hasnot
`filed its patent ownerpreliminary response. Further, the Board has not
`decided whetherto institute a covered business method patent review. Even
`if the Board institutes a review and commencesa trial, Apple will no longer
`
`participate. That meansevenif a review is instituted, Apple will notfile a
`reply to any patent ownerresponseor an opposition to any motion to amend
`
`' Ancora Techs., Inc. v. Apple, Inc., No. 4:11-cv-6357 (N.D. Cal.), filed
`December 15, 2011, and Ancora Techs., Inc. v. Apple, Inc.,
`No. 4:15-cv-3659 (N.D.Cal.), filed August 11, 2015.

`
`claims. Apple also will not be conducting any cross examination of
`
`Ancora’s witnesses. In addition, Ancora may not have an opportunity to
`
`cross examine Apple’s witness whosetestimonyis relied upon by Apple’s
`
`petition.
`
`Asnotrial has been instituted based on Apple’s petition, the instant
`proceedingis in the preliminary proceeding stage.” Based ontheparticular
`facts ofthis case, it is appropriate to enter judgment.
`In considerationofthe foregoing,itis:
`
`ORDEREDthatthe joint motion to terminate CBM2016-00023 is
`
`granted, and this proceeding hereby is terminated asto all parties including
`
`Apple and Ancora; and
`
`FURTHER ORDEREDthatthe parties’ joint request to have their
`
`settlement agreementtreated as business confidential information under
`
`37 C.F.R. § 42.74(c) is granted.
`
`2 A preliminary proceeding begins with the filing ofa petition for instituting
`a trial and ends with a written decision as to whethera trial will be instituted.
`37 C.F.R. § 42.2.
`
`3 A judgment meansa final written decision by the Board, or a termination
`of a proceeding. 37 C.F.R. § 42.2.
