`concerning U.S. Patent No. 6,188,835 B1 (“the ’835 Patent”). Paper 22
`(“Motion” or “Mot.”). The parties represent that they have resolved their
`disputes relating to the ’835 Patent and have submitted “all agreements made
`in connection with, or in contemplation of, the termination of this

`Mot. 4; see Exs. 1011, 1012.
`Under 35 U.S.C. § 317(a), an inter partes review “shall be terminated

`patent owner, unless the Office has decided the merits of the proceeding
`before the request for termination is filed.” The merits of this proceeding
`have not yet been decided, and no final written decision has been entered.
`Based on the information presented in the Motion, including the parties’
`representations and the documents submitted in support of the Motion,
`termination under § 317(a) is warranted.

`
`ORDER
