`
`
`
`I. DISCUSSION
`
`On October 6, 2017, we granted the parties’ joint motion to terminate this
`
`proceeding. On October 27, 2017, in the Board’s decision granting the joint
`
`motion for termination of a related proceeding (IPR2017-00814, Paper 18), the
`
`Board advised the parties to file their settlement agreement from that related
`
`proceeding in this proceeding. The parties entered into their settlement agreement
`
`in the related proceeding after we granted the parties’ joint motion to terminate this
`
`proceeding. IPR2017-00811, Papers 14 and 15.
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.74, the parties now jointly request to file the
`
`related settlement agreement (IPR2017-00811, Ex. 1011), as business confidential
`
`information to be kept separate from the files of the involved patents. The Board
`
`authorized the parties to file this related settlement agreement as “For Board and
`
`Parties Only.” IPR2017-00814, Paper 18.
`
`II. ORDER
`
`In consideration of the foregoing, it is hereby:
`
`ORDERED that the parties’ request to treat the settlement agreement
`
`(Ex. 1011) as business confidential information under 35 U.S.C. § 317(b) and
`
`37 C.F.R. § 42.74(c) is granted.
