I recall reading something on the USPTO website that an IPR cannot be dropped after it’s filed…or maybe it was once it was ruled to move ahead.

If someone knows for sure, please chime in and correct me if I’m wrong.

Once an inter partes review (IPR) has been instituted at the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB), it will generally proceed to final written decision, unless the parties settle their dispute and agree to terminate the IPR. As a prerequisite to termination, the PTAB requires the parties to file their settlement agreement, as well as any collateral agreements, with the PTAB before an IPR will be terminated.
