`
`
`As authorized by the panel, pursuant to a settlement, on June 24, 2024
`Realtek Semiconductor Corp (“Realtek”) and ATI Technologies LLC
`(“ATI”) filed a Joint Motion to Terminate This Proceeding (Paper 28, “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 27). See 35 U.S.C. § 317(a); 37 C.F.R. § 42.72.
`The parties also filed a copy of a related written settlement agreement. Ex.
`1025.
`Trial was instituted on December 1, 2023 (Paper 10) and ATI filed a
`Patent Owner Response on Feb. 23, 2024 (Paper 14). Realtek has not yet
`filed a Petitioner Reply and an oral hearing has not yet been requested.
`Joined party TCL Industry Holdings, Inc. (TCL) previously moved to
`terminate its involvement in the proceeding. Paper 24. TCL’s Motion to
`Terminate is addressed in a separate paper.
`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 this proceeding.
`Joint Motion 2. Under these circumstances, the Board determines that it is
`appropriate to terminate 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 this proceeding is
`GRANTED;
`FURTHER ORDERED that the parties’ Joint Request That The
`Settlement Agreements Be Treated as Business Confidential Information
