`
`TERMINATION
`35 U.S.C. § 317(a) and 37 C.F.R. §§ 42.72, 42.74
`
`On May 6, 2016, Petitioner, Under Armour, Inc., and Patent Owner,
`adidas AG, filed a Joint Motion to Terminate in each of the proceedings
`identified in the caption of this Judgment. IPR2015-00697, Paper 42;
`IPR2015-00698, Paper 66; IPR2015-00700, Paper 78; IPR2015-01528,
`
`
`
`IPR2015-00697 (Patent 7,905,815 B2)
`IPR2015-00698 (Patent 8,092,345 B2)
`IPR2015-00700 (Patent 8,579,767 B2)
`IPR2015-01528 (Patent 8,721,502 B2)
`IPR2015-01532 (Patent 8,652,009 B2)
`IPR2015-01891 (Patent 8,725,276 B2)
`
`Paper 22; IPR2015-01532, Paper 23; IPR2015-01891, Paper 12. In each
`proceeding, along with the Joint Motion to Terminate, the parties filed a
`copy of their settlement agreement (“the Agreement”), made in connection
`with the termination of these proceedings and the related district court
`proceedings, in accordance with 35 U.S.C. § 317(b) and 37 C.F.R.
`§ 42.74(b). IPR2015-00697, Ex. 2007; IPR2015-00698, Ex. 2046;
`IPR2015-00700, Ex. 2066; IPR2015-01528, Ex. 2002; IPR2015-01532, Ex.
`2002; IPR2015-01891, Ex. 2003. In each proceeding, the parties also
`submitted a Joint Motion requesting that the Agreement be treated as
`business confidential information and be kept separate from the files of the
`patents at issue under 35 U.S.C. § 317(b) and 37 C.F.R. § 42.74(c).
`IPR2015-00697, Paper 43; IPR2015-00698, Paper 67; IPR2015-00700,
`Paper 79; IPR2015-01528, Paper 23; IPR2015-01532, Paper 24; IPR2015-
`01891, Paper 13.
`In each Joint Motion to Terminate, the parties indicate that the
`Agreement resolves all disputes between the parties and their affiliates
`involving the patents-at-issue in these proceedings. E.g., IPR2015-00697,
`Paper 42, 3–4. Upon consideration of the facts before us, it is appropriate to
`terminate these proceedings without rendering final written decisions. See
`37 C.F.R. § 42.72. Accordingly, we grant the Joint Motion to Terminate in
`each proceeding.
`We also grant the Joint Motion to File Agreement as Business
`Confidential Information in each proceeding.
