`
`
`In an e-mail dated November 17, 2021, we authorized HP Inc. (“HP”
`or “Petitioner”) and Synkloud Technologies, LLC (“Patent Owner”) to file
`motions to terminate the instant proceedings. On November 22, 2021, and
`pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 317 and 37 C.F.R. § 42.74, Petitioner and Patent
`Owner filed a joint motion to terminate these proceedings and 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 in each
`proceeding. Papers 32, 33. 3 In the joint motion, the parties represent that
`the settlement agreement is with “regard to the patents at issue in these
`proceedings” and is a true and correct copy. Paper 32, 2–3. 4
`At this juncture of the proceedings, the Board has not entered any
`final decisions. Based on the facts of these proceedings, we determine that it
`is appropriate to terminate these proceedings.
`Accordingly, it is
`ORDERED that the joint request that the settlement agreement be
`treated as business confidential information, to be kept separate from the
`patent files, is granted;
`FURTHER ORDERED that the joint motion to terminate each
`proceeding is granted; and
`FURTHER ORDERED that the proceedings are terminated.
