`JUDGMENT
`TERMINATION OF THE PROCEEDINGS
`37 C.F.R. §§ 42.72, 42.73
`
`
`1 This Judgment, and the termination of the proceedings, is common to each
`of the referenced cases; therefore, we issue a single Judgment to be filed in
`each case.

`
`
`On December 6, 2016, by electronic mail, the Board authorized
`Petitioner, Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. (“Samsung”), and Patent Owner,
`Script Security Solutions LLC (Script Security), to file joint motions to
`terminate Cases IPR2016-01878, IPR2016-01879, IPR2016-01881, and
`IPR2016-01882, as well as joint requests to file settlement agreements as
`business confidential information in each of these cases. On December 12,
`2016, Samsung and Script Security filed Joint Motions to Terminate
`Proceedings, pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 317(a), and Joint Requests to Treat the
`Settlement Agreements as Business Confidential Information, pursuant to
`35 U.S.C. § 317(b) and 37 C.F.R. § 42.74(c), in each of the respective cases
`(Papers 5 (“Mot.”), 6 (“Req.”) (IPR2016-01878); Papers 5, 6 (IPR2016-
`01879); Papers 6, 7 (IPR2016-01881); Papers 5, 6 (IPR2016-01882)).2
`Along with the Joint Motions and Joint Requests, the parties also filed
`copies of a written settlement agreement (Ex. 1027) and a collateral
`agreement (Ex. 1026), which are represented to be true copies. Mot. 4.
`The parties indicate that termination of the proceedings is appropriate
`because a settlement has been reached disposing of related disputes. Mot. 2.
`Samsung and Script Security represent that they will no longer be
`participating in the proceedings, all disputes have been settled, agreements
`have been executed authorizing the requests for termination, and all related
`settlement agreements have been filed. Id. at 2, 4.
`
`
`2 Further citations are to Case IPR2016-01878 as representative, unless
`otherwise noted.

`IPR2016-01879 (Patent 6,542,078 B2)

`IPR2016-01882 (Patent 6,828,909 B2)
`
`
`A decision whether to institute a trial has not been entered in these
`cases. Thus, these cases are in the preliminary stages. Under these
`circumstances, the Board determines that it is appropriate to enter judgment
`and terminate the proceedings without rendering a final written decision, and
`to treat the settlement agreement (Ex. 1027) and collateral agreement (Ex.
`1026) as business confidential information. 37 C.F.R. §§ 42.72, 42.74(c).
`It is, therefore,
`ORDERED that the Joint Motions of Samsung and Script Security to
`Terminate the proceedings are GRANTED;
`FURTHER ORDERED that the Joint Requests of Samsung and Script
`Security that the filed settlement agreement and collateral agreement be
`treated as business confidential information under the provisions of
`35 U.S.C. § 317(b) and 37 C.F.R. § 42.74(c), are GRANTED; and therefore
`FURTHER ORDERED that the documents filed as Exhibit 1026 and
`Exhibit 1027 in Cases IPR2016-01878, IPR2016-01879, IPR2016-01881,
`and IPR2016-01882, be treated as business confidential information.
