`ORDER
`Settlement as to Samsung
`35 U.S.C. § 317; 37 C.F.R. § 42.74
`
`On May 29, 2020, the parties informed the Board that the parties had
`settled the proceeding with respect to Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. and
`Samsung Electronics America, Inc. (collectively, “Samsung”) and that the
`parties sought authorization to file a joint motion to terminate the proceeding
`
`
`
`
`
`IPR2019-00510
`Patent 6,868,079 B1
`
`
`with respect to Samsung. On June 5, 2020, and pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 317
`and 37 C.F.R. § 42.74, the parties filed a joint motion to terminate the
`proceeding with respect to Samsung. Paper 18. The parties also filed a joint
`request to have their settlement agreement treated as confidential business
`information under 35 U.S.C. § 317 and 37 C.F.R. § 42.74. Paper 19. In the
`joint motion, the parties represent that the settlement agreement filed is a
`true copy and resolves all disputes between Samsung and Patent Owner as to
`the involved patent. Paper 18, 2.
`At this juncture of the proceeding, the Board has not entered a final
`decision. Based on the facts of this proceeding, we determine that it is
`appropriate to terminate this proceeding with respect to Samsung. The
`proceeding is not terminated with respect to Apple Inc. or LG Electronics,
`Inc.
`
`Accordingly, it is
`ORDERED that the parties’ joint request that the settlement
`agreement be treated as business confidential information, to be kept
`separate from the patent file is granted; and
`FURTHER ORDERED that the joint motion to terminate the
`proceeding with respect to Samsung is granted; and
`FURTHER ORDERED that the proceeding will continue with Apple
`Inc. and LG Electronics, Inc. as Petitioner.
