Case brief

Settled after institution

Outcome record: Instituted; terminated after institution (settlement)Reviewed against the official PDF

The Director instituted review on June 2, 2026; the Board then terminated the trial on July 23, 2026, on the parties' joint motion, without a final written decision.[1][3][4][16][14]

Director's Notice of Decisions on Institution: institution granted June 2, 2026·Parties jointly file motion to terminate and arbitration agreement July 14, 2026·Board terminates the trial due to settlement after institution July 23, 2026

  • InterDigital VC Holdings, Inc. owns the challenged patent, U.S. Patent No. 11,936,876 B2, as the termination order's caption and recital state.[5][9]
  • The institution notice records a grant on the merits but lists no grounds; the termination order likewise identifies none.[3][9]
  • The panel granted the joint motion to terminate, finding termination appropriate under the particular circumstances without rendering a final written decision.[14][16]
  • The trial is terminated without any determination of patentability; the order is not a final written decision under § 318(a).[15][16]

A post-institution termination on settlement ends the trial without reaching the merits, and these papers state no rule beyond their own terms.
