In salesforce.com, Inc. v. VirtualAgility Inc., CBM2013-00024 (November 24, 2014), the Board denied patent owner’s request for authorization to file a Motion to Vacate the Final Written Decision and to Terminate the Proceeding after the Final Written decision has been Vacated. The Board noted that under 35 U.S.C. § 327(a), it may continue to completion of trial to render judgment even if the parties have settled and the proceeding is terminated with respect to each petitioner, and reasoned that if it can proceed to issuance of a Final Written Decision despite settlement, then an already issued Final Written Decision should not be vacated based on settlement between the parties.
