`
`TERMINATION
`Due to Settlement after Institution of Trial
`35 U.S.C. § 317; 37 C.F.R. § 42.74
`
`The parties have requested that this trial be terminated pursuant to a
`settlement. On July 27, 2018, we authorized the parties via e-mail to file a
`joint request to terminate this proceeding and to file the settlement
`agreement as business confidential information under 37 C.F.R. § 42.74(c).
`The parties filed a Joint Motion to Terminate Inter Partes Review on August
`25, 2020. Paper 43. The parties concurrently filed a copy of a written
`
`
`
`IPR2019-00768
`Patent RE46,137 E
`settlement agreement (Ex. 1050) along with a Joint Request to File
`Settlement Agreement as Business Confidential Information under 35 U.S.C.
`§ 317(a). Paper 44, 1.
`We instituted trial on September 5, 2019. Paper 8. The parties
`indicate that they have agreed to resolve their dispute related to the
`challenged patent. Paper 43, 1. Although the deadline for entering a final
`decision in this proceeding is approaching, under the circumstances, we
`determine that it is appropriate to enter judgment and terminate the trial
`without rendering a final written decision. 37 C.F.R. § 42.72.
`Accordingly, it is
`ORDERED that the Joint Motion to Terminate Inter Partes Review,
`Paper 43, is granted;
`FURTHER ORDERED that the Joint Request to File Settlement
`Agreement as Business Confidential Information under 35 U.S.C. § 317(a),
`Paper 44, is granted; and
`FURTHER ORDERED that the Settlement Agreement (Ex. 1050)
`shall be treated as business confidential information and kept separate from
`the public record under the provisions of 35 U.S.C. § 317(b) and 37 C.F.R.
`§ 42.74(c).
