`
`JOINT MOTION TO TERMINATE THE INTER PARTES REVIEW
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 317(a) and 37 C.F.R. § 42.72, Patent Owner and
`
`Case No. IPR2014-01393
`Patent No. 6,778,074
`
`
`
`Ford Motor Company (“Ford”) jointly request termination of Inter Partes Review
`
`Case No. IPR2014-01393.
`
`Patent Owner and Ford respectfully submit that termination is appropriate
`
`because they have reached an agreement resolving the dispute involving the patent
`
`at issue in the above-captioned Inter Partes Review, prior to oral hearing and prior
`
`to the Board’s final written decision in the above-captioned Inter Partes Review.
`
`Further, Ford represents that it will no longer participate even if the Board does not
`
`terminate the above-captioned Inter Partes Review. This means that Ford will file
`
`no further papers, will not be conducting any further cross examination of Patent
`
`Owner’s witnesses, and will not be participating in any oral argument.
`
`Furthermore, Patent Owner respectfully submits that there is no pending
`
`district court litigation involving the patent at issue in this proceeding, and a
`
`petition for rehearing en banc before the Federal Circuit involving the patent at
`
`issue in this proceeding was denied on July 8, 2015. In re Cuozzo Speed
`
`Technologies, LLC, 2014-1301 (Fed. Circ. Jul. 8, 2015).
`
`As required under 35 U.S.C. §317(b) and 37 C.F.R. § 42.72(b), filed
`
`herewith is a true copy of the written settlement agreement (“Agreement”)
`
`resolving the dispute in the above-captioned Inter Partes Review and the related
`
`2
`
`
`
`
`
`litigation. See Confidential Exhibit 1014. The parties do not foresee any further
`
`Case No. IPR2014-01393
`Patent No. 6,778,074
`
`litigation among them relating to the Subject Patent. The parties further certify,
`
`pursuant to the request from the Board, that there are no collateral agreements or
`
`understandings made in connection with the termination of the present Inter Partes
`
`review proceeding.
`
`Patent Owner and Ford are concurrently filing a Joint Request that the
`
`Agreement, Confidential Exhibit 1014, be treated as business confidential
`
`information, kept separate from the file of the involved patents, and made available
`
`only to Federal Government agencies on written request, or to any person on a
`
`showing of good cause pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 317(b) and 37 C.F.R. §42.74(c).
