`
`
`
`
`
`Pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 317(a) and 37 C.F.R. § 42.72, Amazon.com, Inc.,
`
`Amazon Web Services, Inc., and Amazon.com Services LLC (“Petitioner”) moves
`
`for termination of the inter partes review of U.S. Patent No. 10,154,092 (“the ’092
`
`Patent”) in Case No. IPR2023-00120 as to Petitioner.2
`
`In IPR2023-00120, Google LLC filed a petition for inter partes review of
`
`the ’092 Patent on November 2, 2022. (IPR2023-00120 Paper 1.) Patent Owner
`
`filed a preliminary response on February 28, 2023 (IPR2023-00120 Paper 6.) In
`
`IPR2023-00733, Petitioner, along with Cisco Systems, Inc. and Microsoft
`
`Corporation, filed its petition for inter partes review and moved for joinder to
`
`IPR2023-00120 on March 20, 2023. (IPR2023-00733 Papers 1 & 5.) Patent
`
`Owner filed a preliminary response to the petition in IPR2023-00120 on June 28,
`
`2023. (IPR2023-00120 Paper 9.) On September 1, 2023, the Board issued its
`
`Decisions on Institution for both IPR2023-00733 and IPR2023-00120 and granted
`
`joinder of IPR2023-00733 to IPR2023-00120. (IPR2023-00120 Paper 10;
`
`IPR2023-00733 Paper 10.) Since then, all petitioners except Petitioner were
`
`terminated from these inter partes review proceedings. (IPR2023-00120 Papers
`
`15, 19, 20.) Petitioner now moves to terminate IPR2023-00120 as to Petitioner.
`
`Patent Owner has indicated that it does not oppose. (Ex. 1024.)
`
`
`2 The above-captioned IPR2023-00733 was joined with IPR2023-00120. The
`Board authorized Petitioner to file this Motion to Terminate as to IPR2023-00120
`in an e-mail dated January 22, 2024.
`
`3
`
`
`
`IPR2023-00733
`
`
`
`
`
`Petitioner is moving to terminate this proceeding because Patent Owner’s
`
`district court action against Petitioner was dismissed with prejudice. (Ex. 1025.)
`
`There are no agreements, oral or written, between the parties made in connection
`
`with, or in contemplation of, the termination of the proceeding.
`
`No other petitioners remain in this inter partes review, and no final written
`
`decision on the merits has been entered. For at least these reasons, termination of
`
`this inter partes review is proper under 35 U.S.C. § 317(a) and 37 C.F.R. § 42.72.
