`Patent 6,805,779 B2
`
`GLOBALFOUNDRIES U.S., Inc., GLOBALFOUNDRIES Dresden
`
`Module One LLC & Co. KG, and GLOBALFOUNDRIES Dresden Module
`
`Two LLC & Co. KG (collectively, “GlobalFoundries”) filed a Petition in
`
`each of the above-identified inter partes reviews, challenging U.S. Patent
`
`6,805,779 B2 (Ex. 1401, “the ’779 patent”) owned by Zond, LLC (“Zond”).
`
`Paper 2.2 Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.122(b), GlobalFoundries also filed
`
`Motions for Joinder, seeking to join its proceedings with proceedings filed
`
`by Intel Corporation (“Intel”)—specifically, joining IPR2014-01073 with
`
`IPR2014-00598, and IPR2014-01076 with IPR2014-00686. Paper 8.
`
`On September 12, 2014, however, Intel and Zond filed a Joint Motion
`
`to Terminate and a true copy of their Written Settlement Agreement, made
`
`in connection with the termination, in accordance with 35 U.S.C. § 317(b)
`
`and 37 C.F.R. § 42.74(b), in each of Intel’s Proceedings that involved the
`
`’779 patent. See, e.g., IPR2014-00598, Paper 8, Ex. 1013. Upon
`
`consideration, we terminated those Intel Proceedings and entered Judgment
`
`in each of the Intel Proceedings. See, e.g., Id. at 9. The termination of the
`
`Intel Proceedings renders the Motions for Joinder filed by GlobalFoundries
`
`moot. Although we authorized, in a prior Order, GlobalFoundries to file a
`
`revised Motion for Joinder, we did not receive any revised Motion within the
`
`time period set forth in the Order.
`
`In consideration of the foregoing, it is hereby
`
`ORDERED that the Motions for Joinder filed in the above-identified
`
`GlobalFoundries Proceedings are dismissed as moot.
