`Case IPR2020-00470
`U.S. Patent No. 7,949,752
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R § 42.74 and the authorization provided by the Board
`
`email of January 21, 2021, Petitioner VMware Inc. (“Petitioner”) and Patent
`
`Owner Intellectual Ventures I LLC (“Patent Owner”) jointly request termination of
`
`this proceeding, IPR2020-00470, directed to U.S. Patent No. 7,949,752 (the “’752
`
`Patent”).
`
`I.
`
`CERTIFICATION
`
`Petitioner and Patent Owner submit a true copy of any agreement or
`
`understanding (Exhibit 2021) between Petitioner and Patent Owner made in
`
`connection with, or in contemplation of, the termination of the proceeding under
`
`37 CFR § 42.74(b) with this joint motion.
`
`II.
`
`STATUS OF RELATED PROCEEDINGS
`
`Petitioner and Patent Owner have resolved their disputes regarding the ’752
`
`Patent, including this proceeding and Patent Owner’s assertion of the ’752 Patent
`
`in the related district court litigation, 1-19-cv-01075. The parties do not anticipate
`
`further litigation between them concerning the ’752 Patent.
`
`III. RELIEF REQUESTED
`
`
`
`As authorized by the Board, the parties are jointly and contemporaneously
`
`filing: (i) this joint motion to terminate the proceeding; (ii) a true copy of any
`
`agreement or understanding (Exhibit 2021) between Petitioner and Patent Owner
`
`made in connection with, or in contemplation of, the requested termination; and
`
`
`
`- 1 -
`
`

`

`Case IPR2020-00470
`U.S. Patent No. 7,949,752
`(iii) a joint request to treat the agreements as business confidential information and
`
`keep the agreement (Exhibit 2021) separate from the file of the involved patent,
`
`pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.74(c).
`
`Petitioner and Patent Owner jointly request that the Board terminate this
`
`proceeding in its entirety. Termination is appropriate at this stage and in view of a
`
`settlement between Petitioner and Patent Owner. An inter partes review shall be
`
`terminated with respect to any petitioner upon the joint request of the petitioner
`
`and the patent owner, unless the Office has decided the merits of the proceedings
`
`before the request for termination is filed. 35 U.S.C. § 317(a). Good cause exists to
`
`terminate this proceeding because (1) Petitioner and Patent Owner have resolved
`
`their disputes regarding the ’752 Patent; (2) this proceeding is still at an early stage
`
`because the Office has not yet decided the merits of the proceeding; and (3)
`
`terminating the proceeding now would thus serve the interests of judicial economy
`
`as well as the mutual interest of the parties.
