`
`
`On December 6, 2017, and pursuant to 35 U.S.C. §§ 317(a), 327(a),
`the parties filed a Joint Motion to Terminate in each of the above cited
`proceedings. See Appendix (“Joint Motion”). Along with the Joint Motion,
`the parties filed a Settlement Agreement (Ex. 2100), 3 and a Joint Request to
`Treat the Settlement Agreement as Business Confidential Information, in
`each proceeding. See Appendix (“Joint Request”). We authorized the above
`filings in an email sent to the parties on December 4, 2017.
`The parties represent that they have settled their disputes and
`memorialized their settlement in the written Settlement Agreement
`submitted in each case. In the Joint Motion, the parties also represent that
`the Settlement Agreement resolves all disputes between the parties in the
`post grant proceedings and the related lawsuits. The Settlement Agreement
`appears to be a true copy of the agreement between the parties, specifies the
`instant proceedings, and identifies other matters that are to be settled
`between the parties. Ex. 2100. On this record, no motion by any third party
`for joinder with these reviews is pending.
`The proceedings are at different stages, with some cases having a trial
`instituted therein, and in other cases where no decision on institution has yet
`been made. Although at different stages, upon consideration of the facts
`before us and the arguments presented in the Joint Motion, we determine
`that it is appropriate to terminate the proceedings with respect to both
`parties. See 35 U.S.C. §§ 317(a), 327(a); 37 C.F.R. §§ 42.72, 42.74.
`
`
`3 The Settlement Agreement was filed with the same exhibit number in each
`of the above-listed proceedings.
