`Patent 6,856,007 B2
`
`On December 21, 2017, the parties filed a joint motion to terminate,
`along with a true copy of their written agreements, including collateral
`agreements, made in connection with the termination of this proceeding, in
`accordance with 35 U.S.C. § 317(b) and 37 C.F.R. § 42.74(b). Paper 12;
`Exs. 2006–2011 (collectively, “Agreements”). The parties request
`termination of the proceeding and state that the Agreements completely
`resolve their dispute relating to U.S. Patent No. 6,856,007. Paper 12, 1–2,
`3–7. The parties also jointly request that the Agreements be treated as
`confidential business information under 35 U.S.C. § 317(b) and 37 C.F.R.
`§ 42.74(c). Id. at 2–3; Paper 13.
`On December 4, 2017, we instituted trial. Paper 10. The Board does
`not have before it full briefing on the trial issues and the Board has not
`entered a final written decision.
`Based on the facts of this proceeding, it is appropriate to terminate the
`proceeding without rendering a final written decision. See 35 U.S.C.
`§ 317(a); 37 C.F.R. § 42.72.
`Accordingly, it is:
`ORDERED that the parties’ joint request that the Agreements be
`treated as business confidential information, to be kept separate from the
`patent file, is granted;
`FURTHER ORDERED that the joint motion to terminate the
`proceeding is granted; and
`FURTHER ORDERED that the proceeding is terminated.
