`Patent 9,516,127 B2
`
`
`Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. and Samsung Electronics America,
`Inc. (collectively, “Petitioner”) and SEVEN Networks, LLC (“Patent
`Owner”) filed a “Joint Motion to Terminate Pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 317”
`(Paper 8) and a “Joint Request to Treat [the] Settlement Agreement as
`Business Confidential Information” (Paper 9) in each of the above-captioned
`cases (collectively “Joint Motions”).2 The parties represent that they have
`reached settlement as evidenced by the written Settlement Agreement, filing
`a true copy of same as required under 37 C.F.R. § 42.74(b). Paper 8;
`Ex. 2100. The parties also represent that no other agreements exist between
`the parties concerning these cases. Paper 8, 5.
`We have not instituted an inter partes review in these cases. At this
`early stage, we determine that granting the parties’ Joint Motions to
`Terminate and Request to Treat the Settlement Agreement as Business
`Confidential Information is warranted.
`
`ORDER
`
`Accordingly, it is
`ORDERED that the parties’ Joint Motion to Terminate in each of the
`above-captioned cases is granted;
`FURTHER ORDERED that each proceeding is terminated; and
`FURTHER ORDERED that the parties’ Joint Request to Treat the
`Settlement Agreement as Business Confidential Information in each of the
`above-captioned cases is granted, and Exhibit 2100 in each case shall be
`kept separate from the pertinent file consistent with 37 C.F.R. § 42.74(b).
`
`
`2 Citations refer to Case IPR2019-00457. The parties filed materially similar
`papers in each case.
