Case IPR2013-00227
Patent 6,704,621

On December 11, 2013, Petitioner and Patent Owner filed a joint motion
(Paper No. 29) to terminate this trial proceeding. See 35 U.S.C. § 317(a); 37
C.F.R. § 42.72 (“The Board may terminate a trial without rendering a final written
decision, where appropriate, including . . . pursuant to a joint request under 35
U.S.C. 317(a)[.]”).
With the motion, they filed a copy of the written settlement agreement
(Exhibit 2001
1
) as well as a joint request (Paper No. 30) to treat the settlement
agreement as business confidential information under the provisions of 35 U.S.C.
§ 317(b) and 37 C.F.R. § 42.74(c).
Petitioner and Patent Owner state that they have agreed to settle both the
instant trial and the sole related district court lawsuit involving the instant patent,
which lawsuit is titled Mobileye Inc. et al. v. Picitup Corp. et al., No. 12 CIV 1994
(S.D.N.Y). Paper No. 29 at 2-3; see also Ex. 2001. Although the related litigation
involves additional parties, Paper No. 29 at 4, those additional parties are also
parties to the settlement agreement. Paper No. 29 at 2; see also Ex. 2001.
Accordingly, it is:
ORDERED that the joint motion (Paper No. 29) to terminate the
proceeding is GRANTED; and

1
The joint request identifies the settlement agreement as “Exhibit 1.” See Paper
No. 30 at 2. However, the settlement agreement was submitted as Exhibit 2001, as
acknowledged by the joint motion to terminate. See Paper No. 29 at 2.

Case IPR2013-00227
Patent 6,704,621

3
FURTHER ORDERED that the joint request (Paper No. 30) to have
the settlement agreement (Ex. 2001) be treated as business confidential
information, kept separate from the file of Patent 6,704,621, and made available
only to Federal Government agencies on written request, or to any person on a
showing of good cause, under the provisions of 35 U.S.C. § 317(b) and 37 C.F.R.
§ 42.74(c), is GRANTED.
