Termination Decisions

In Raymarine, Inc. v. Navico Holding AS, IPR2013-00497, Paper 17 (March 25, 2014), the Board terminated in the IPR in view fo the joint motion filed by the parties.  The Board noted that it instituted trial on February 11, 2014, and that it did not have before it full briefing on the trial issues and the Board has not entered a final decision, and thus it was appropriate to enter judgment without rendering a final written decision. See 35 U.S.C. § 317(a); 37 C.F.R. § 42.72
