`
`JUDGMENT
`Termination of the Proceeding
`35 U.S.C. § 317(a) and 37 C.F.R. § 42.72
`
`The parties have requested that this trial be terminated pursuant to a
`settlement. On March 12, 2018, we authorized the parties via e-mail to file a
`joint request to terminate this proceeding and to file the settlement
`agreement as business confidential information under 37 C.F.R. § 42.74(c).
`The parties filed their joint motion later the same day. Paper 20. With their
`
`
`
`IPR2017-00803
`Patent 6,318,358 B1
`joint motion to terminate, the parties also filed a joint request to keep their
`written settlement agreement confidential along with a copy of that
`settlement agreement. Paper 21 (filed concurrently with Ex. 2016).
`We instituted trial in this proceeding on August 23, 2017. Paper 12.
`The parties indicate that they have agreed to resolve all disputes between
`them related to the challenged patent. Paper 20, at 1. Under these
`circumstances, we determine that it is appropriate to enter judgment and
`terminate the trial without rendering a final written decision. 37 C.F.R.
`§ 42.72.
`Accordingly, it is
`ORDERED that the Joint Motion to Terminate Pursuant to 35 U.S.C.
`§ 317 and 37 C.F.R. §§ 42.72 and 42.74 is granted;
`FURTHER ORDERED that the Joint Request to File a Settlement
`Agreement as Business Confidential Information Pursuant to 35 U.S.C.
`§ 317(b) and 37 C.F.R. § 42.74(c) is granted; and
`FURTHER ORDERED that the Settlement Agreement (Ex. 2016)
`shall be treated as business confidential information and kept separate from
`the public record.
