`Termination of the Proceedings
`37 C.F.R. § 42.72
`
`
`
`Case IPR2017-00203
`Patent 6,649,180 B1
`
`
`On December 18, 2017, pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 317(a), the parties
`filed a Joint Motion to Terminate this proceeding. Paper 57. Accompanying
`the Motion, the parties filed a true copy of a settlement agreement along
`with a Joint Request to treat the settlement agreement as confidential, to be
`kept separate from the patent file under 35 U.S.C. § 317(b) and 37 C.F.R.
`§ 42.74. Paper 57; Ex. 1031. We authorized the filing of these papers in an
`email sent on December 18, 2017.
`
`We entered a Decision to Institute an inter partes review in this case
`on May 16, 2017. Paper 10. The parties have filed numerous papers in this
`case, but we have not yet held an oral hearing, nor have we decided the
`merits of the proceeding. Based on these facts, it is appropriate to terminate
`the proceedings. Thus, the Joint Motion to Terminate the proceeding is
`granted.
`
`Accordingly, it is
`
`ORDERED that the parties’ Joint Motion to Terminate the proceeding
`is granted;
`
`FURTHER ORDERED that the parties’ Joint Request that the
`settlement agreement be treated as business confidential information, to be
`kept separate from the patent file, is granted; and
`
`FURTHER ORDERED that the proceeding is terminated.
