`
`
`
`Pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 317(a) and 37 C.F.R. § 42.74, Petitioner Frontier
`
`Water Systems, LLC (“Petitioner”) and Patent Owner, General Electric Company
`
`(“Patent Owner”) jointly request termination of inter partes review IPR2017-01468
`
`involving U.S. Patent No. 7,790,034 (“the ’034 Patent”), filed by Petitioner on May
`
`24, 2017.
`
`Pursuant to a global settlement agreement between the parties (the
`
`“Agreement”), Petitioner and Patent Owner have agreed to jointly seek termination
`
`of the above-captioned inter partes review and the related pending district court
`
`litigation, Frontier Water Systems, LLC, Timothy Pickett, and James Peterson vs.
`
`General Electric Company, et al., Case No. 2:17-cv-00261 (C.D. Utah) (the “Utah
`
`Litigation”). The parties’ Joint Stipulation of Dismissal With Prejudice was filed in
`
`the Utah litigation and the Utah litigation has been dismissed; the Court’s dismissal
`
`is included as EX1024. After the requested termination of this proceeding and the
`
`Utah Litigation, no other disputes regarding the ’034 Patent will remain between the
`
`parties. There are no other litigation or proceedings in which the ’034 Patent is
`
`involved, and Patent Owner states that none is contemplated in the foreseeable
`
`future.
`
`For at least these reasons, Patent Owner and Petitioner submit that termination
`
`is appropriate.

`
`
`The filing of this Joint Motion was authorized by the Board in an email on

`
`Pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 317(b) and 37 C.F.R. § 42.74(b), filed separately
`
`herewith as EX1023 is a true copy of the aforementioned Agreement. The Parties
`
`hereby certify that EX1023 is the complete agreement between the Parties, and no
`
`other collateral agreements or understandings have been made or are contemplated to
`
`be made relating to this IPR proceeding including its termination. In accordance
`
`with the Joint Request to Treat Confidential Agreement Under Seal, filed herewith,
`
`the parties request that the Agreement be treated as business confidential
`
`information, and be kept separate from the files of this proceeding in accordance with
`
`37 C.F.R. § 42.74(c).
