`
`
`JOINT MOTION TO TERMINATE INTER PARTES REVIEW WITH
`RESPECT TO PETITIONER SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO., LTD. AND
`SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS AMERICA, INC. ONLY
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`U.S. Patent No. 9,843,215
`Petition for Inter Partes Review
`Patent Owner Scramoge Technology Ltd. (“Scramoge”) and Petitioner
`
`Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. and Samsung Electronics America, Inc.
`
`(collectively “Samsung”) have reached a settlement. Pursuant to 35 U.S.C. §
`
`317(a) and 37 C.F.R. §§ 42.72 and 42.74, the parties jointly request termination of
`
`the inter partes review of U.S. Patent No. 9,843,215 (“Patent-in-Suit”), Case
`
`IPR2022-00385 with respect to Petitioners Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. and
`
`Samsung Electronics America, Inc. only. The settlement agreement does not
`
`extend to Co-Petitioner Google LLC (“Other Petitioner”). The Other Petitioner
`
`does not oppose this motion, with the understanding that the inter partes review
`
`will continue with respect to the Other Petitioner. The parties were authorized to
`
`file this Joint Motion by the Board (via email) on August 9, 2022.
`
`As required under 35 U.S.C. § 317(b) and 37 C.F.R. § 42.74(b), a copy of
`
`the settlement agreement that resolves the disputes in the above-captioned inter
`
`partes review relating to the Patent-in-Suit as between Scramoge and Samsung is
`
`filed herewith as an exhibit. There are no other collateral agreements between the
`
`parties made in connection with, or in contemplation of, the termination sought.
`
`Pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 317(b) and 37 C.F.R. § 42.74(c), Scramoge and
`
`Samsung are concurrently filing a Joint Request to Keep Separate, which asks the
`
`Board to treat the settlement agreement as business confidential information, and
`
`1
`
`
`
`U.S. Patent No. 9,843,215
`Petition for Inter Partes Review
`to keep it separate from the files of this proceeding and the files of the Patent-in-
`
`Suit.
`
`I.
`
`STATEMENT OF PRECISE RELIEF REQUESTED
`The parties jointly request that the Board terminate the inter partes review of
`
`the Patent-in-Suit, Case IPR2022-00385, with respect to Petitioner Samsung only.
`
`II. TERMINATION WITH RESPECT TO SAMSUNG IS
`APPROPRIATE
`Under 35 U.S.C. § 317(a), “[a]n inter partes review instituted under this
`
`chapter shall be terminated with respect to any petitioner upon the joint request of
`
`the petitioner and the patent owner, unless the Office has decided the merits of the
`
`proceeding before the request for termination is filed.” This inter partes review is
`
`still in its early stages. The Petition was filed on December 7, 2021, and the Board
`
`has not yet decided the merits of the proceeding. Accordingly, the Board should
`
`terminate with proceeding with respect to Samsung.
`
`The lawsuits between Scramoge and Samsung have been dismissed, and
`
`Scramoge and Samsung do not contemplate any litigation or proceeding involving
`
`the Patent-in-Suit in the foreseeable future.
`
`III. NO FUTURE PARTICIPATION BY SAMSUNG
`Samsung will not participate further in this proceeding.
`
`IV. CONCLUSION
`Scramoge and Samsung have settled all disputes relating to the Patent-in-
`
`2
`
`
`
`U.S. Patent No. 9,843,215
`Petition for Inter Partes Review
`Suit. That settlement does not extend to the Other Petitioner, but the Other
`
`Petitioner does not oppose this motion with the understanding that this inter partes
`
`review will continue with respect to the Other Petitioner. This inter partes review
`
`is in an early stage, and the Board has not entered a final written decision on the
`
`merits in this proceeding. Accordingly, the parties respectfully request that the
`
`Board terminate this proceeding with respect to Samsung only.
`
`
`
`Dated: August 15, 2022
