`
`IPR2020-00209
`Patent 10,213,113 B2
`
`
`As authorized in our order of June 5, 2020 (Paper 11), the parties have
`filed an Amended Motion to Terminate this proceeding. Paper 12
`(“Amended Motion to Terminate”). In the Amended Motion to Terminate
`the parties note that in the district court they dismissed their respective
`claims and counterclaims concerning the patent that is the subject of this
`proceeding. Amended Mot. to Terminate, 1–2. The Amended Motion to
`Terminate explains reasons termination is appropriate and states that no
`other inter partes reviews of U.S. Patent 10,213,113 B2 (“the ’113 patent”)
`are pending, and the parties do not contemplate any future litigation or
`proceeding involving the ’113 patent. Id. at 1–3. The parties previously
`filed a copy of a written settlement agreement (Ex. 1067) and we granted
`their joint request to keep the settlement agreement separate from the file of
`the involved patent under the provisions of 35 U.S.C. § 317(b) and 37
`C.F.R. § 42.74(c). Paper 11. In the Amended Motion to Terminate, the
`parties “certify that this settlement agreement (Ex. 1067) represents the
`complete agreement, including all terms and conditions, between the parties
`and includes all (and there are no other) collateral agreements or
`understandings made in connection with, or in contemplation of, the
`termination of this proceeding as required by 35 U.S.C. § 317(b).” Paper 12,
`1.
`
`In consideration of the above, we agree that it is appropriate to
`terminate this proceeding without rendering a final written decision. 37
`C.F.R. § 42.72.
`It is, therefore,
`ORDERED that the Amended Joint Motion to Terminate the
`proceeding is GRANTED and the proceeding is hereby terminated.
