`
`
`As authorized by the panel, pursuant to a settlement, on June 21, 2024
`TCL Industries Holdings Co. Ltd (“TCL”) and ATI Technologies LLC
`(“ATI”) filed a Joint Motion to Terminate TCL From This Proceeding
`(Paper 24, “Joint Motion”) and a Joint Request that the Settlement
`Agreement Be Treated as Business Confidential Information and Kept
`Separate Under 37 C.F.R. 42.74(c). Paper 25. See 35 U.S.C. § 317(a);
`37 C.F.R. § 42.72. The parties also filed a copy of related written settlement
`agreements. Ex. 2148, 2149, and 2150.
`A decision by the Board to institute a trial and join TCL was entered
`into this proceeding on March 29, 2024. 1 Paper 19. TCL’s participation in
`the proceeding has been limited to that of a joined party. Id. The parties
`have not identified any other related matters and have certified that there are
`no collateral agreements or understandings made in connection with, or in
`contemplation of, the termination of TCL from this proceeding. Joint
`Motion 1–2. Under these circumstances, the Board determines that it is
`appropriate to terminate TCL from the proceeding before rendering a final
`written decision. 37 C.F.R. § 42.72.
`ORDER
`
`It is, therefore,
`ORDERED that the Joint Motion to Terminate TCL from this
`proceeding is GRANTED;
`FURTHER ORDERED that the parties’ Joint Request That The
`Settlement Agreements Be Treated as Business Confidential Information
