`
`On December 30, 2016, counsel for the parties requested
`authorization to file a Joint Motion to Dismiss in each of the following IPR
`proceedings: IPR2016-01524, IPR2016-01552, IPR2016-01553, IPR2016-
`01554, IPR2016-01555, and IPR2016-01712. According to counsel, the
`motion would be for dismissal prior to institution based on the Board’s
`authority under at least 37 C.F.R. §§ 42.5(a) and 42.71(a). Counsel states
`the parties have conferred and agree on this motion.
`A joint motion for dismissal should: (1) include a brief explanation as
`to why dismissal is appropriate; (2) identify all parties in any related
`litigation involving the patent at issue in this proceeding; (3) identify any
`related proceedings currently before the USPTO; and (4) discuss specifically
`the current status of each such related litigation or proceeding with respect to
`each party to the litigation or proceeding. The joint motion for dismissal
`must be accompanied by a true copy of the settlement agreement between
`the parties, as required by 35 U.S.C. § 317(b) and 37 C.F.R. § 42.74(b). A
`redacted version will not be accepted as a true copy of the settlement
`agreement.
`Therefore, it is
`ORDERED that the parties are authorized to file a joint motion to
`dismiss this proceeding in accordance with 37 C.F.R. § 42.20.
