`
`
`
`Raritan v. Server Technology
`IPR2015-01597
`
`Pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 317(a) and 37 C.F.R. §§ 42.72 and 42.74, Petitioner
`
`Raritan Americas, Inc. d/b/a Raritan Computer, Inc., (“Raritan”) and Patent Owner
`
`Server Technology, Inc. (“Server Tech”) jointly file this request for termination of
`
`this inter partes review of U.S. Patent No. 7,043,543.
`
`A petition for inter partes review was filed by Raritan on July 17, 2015. The
`
`parties have settled their dispute and have agreed in a confidential Settlement
`
`Agreement to terminate this proceeding (Case IPR2015-01597), an inter partes
`
`review proceeding of a related patent (Case IPR2015-01596), and other related
`
`litigation proceedings involving the subject patent. No other proceedings
`
`concerning the subject patent are contemplated by these parties in the foreseeable
`
`future. The confidential Settlement Agreement is in writing and was executed by
`
`Raritan and Server Tech on January 6, 2016. No collateral agreements were made
`
`in connection with the termination of this proceeding.
`
`In accordance with 35 U.S.C. § 317(b) and 37 C.F.R. § 42.74(b), a true and
`
`correct copy of the agreed-upon confidential Settlement Agreement is being
`
`submitted herewith as Exhibit 1033. The parties file this joint motion to provide
`
`the Board with notice of this critical development as early as possible in the
`
`interest of efficiency.
`
`Also submitted concurrently herewith is a request by Raritan and Server
`
`Tech that the Settlement Agreement be treated as business confidential

`
`Raritan v. Server Technology
`IPR2015-01597
`
`information, be kept separate from the file of the involved patents, and be 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).
`
`Termination of this proceeding is proper under 35 U.S.C. § 317(a) because
`
`the Board has not yet instituted the proceeding. Accordingly, the parties
`
`respectfully request termination of this proceeding.
`
`The Patent Trial and Appeal Board is hereby authorized to charge any fees
`
`associated with the filing to Deposit Account 100460.
