MESSAGE NOTIFICATION TECHNOLOGIES, LLC, Patent Owner. Case IPR2015-00258 Patent 5,944,786 Before HOWARD B. BLANKENSHIP, KARL D. EASTHOM, and TRENTON A. WARD, Administrative Patent Judges. EASTHOM, Administrative Patent Judge. JUDGMENT Termination of the Proceeding 35 U.S.C. § 317 37 C.F.R. §§ 42.72, 42.73, 42.74 IPR2015-00258 Patent 5,944,786 2 The parties filed a joint motion to terminate this proceeding (“Motion”) and a true copy of their written agreement (“Agreement”) in accordance with 37 C.F.R. § 42.74(b) and 35 U.S.C. § 317(b). Paper 15; Ex. 1011. The Motion states that there are no oral or other written agreements associated with this settlement and that the Agreement “resolves [the parties’] disputes in the Patent Office and in the district court.” Mot. 1. The Board does not have before it full briefing on the trial issues and has not entered a final decision. Accordingly, it is appropriate to enter judgment terminating this proceeding, without rendering a final written decision. See 37 C.F.R. §§ 42.2; 42.72; 42.73(a). 1 It is ORDERED that the joint motion to terminate IPR 2014-00030 is granted; and FURTHER ORDERED that the proceeding is terminated. 1 A judgment “means a final written decision by the Board, or a termination of a proceeding.” 37 C.F.R. § 42.2.
