`
`Case No. IPR2013-00533
`(U.S. Patent No. RE43,531)
`_____________
`
`Dated: September 23, 2014
`
`Before JENNIFER S. BISK, MICHAEL J. FITZPATRICK, and
`MITCHELL G. WEATHERLY Administrative Patent Judges.
`
`JOINT MOTION FOR ENTRY TO SEAL
`UNDER 37 C.F.R. §42.54
`
`EAST\83001936.1
`
`
`
`Pursuant
`
`to 37 C.F.R. § 42.14, Patent Owner Destination Maternity
`
`Corporation ("Patent Owner") and Petitioner Target Corporation ("Petitioner")
`
`jointly move to seal Petitioner's Reply in Support of Its Motion to Exclude
`
`Evidence Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.64(c) ("Petitioner's Reply"). Petitioner's
`
`Reply was filed contemporaneously with this Motion.
`
`Pursuant
`
`to the Protective Order entered in this Inter Partes Review,
`
`Petitioner is also filing a partially redacted public version of Petitioner's Reply.
`
`See Protective Order, ¶ 4 (Paper No. 26). Because Petitioner's Reply contains
`
`nonpublic technical, financial, and other commercially sensitive information, the
`
`Parties jointly move to seal it for good cause explained in more detail below.
`
`I.
`
`Good Cause Exists for Sealing Confidential Information
`
`The Office Patent Trial Practice Guide provides that "[t]he rules aim to
`
`strike a balance between the public's interest in maintaining a complete and
`
`understandable file history and the parties' interest in protecting truly sensitive
`
`information." 77 Fed. Reg. 48756, 48760 (Aug. 14, 2012). Further, those "rules
`
`identify confidential information in a manner consistent with Federal Rule of Civil
`
`Procedure 26(c)(1)(G), which provides for protective orders for trade secret or
`
`other confidential research, development, or commercial information." Id. (citing
`
`37 C.F.R. § 42.54); see also Illumina v. Columbia University, IPR2013-00011,
`
`Paper 66, Aug. 12, 2013 Dec. (granting a motion to seal "technical and business
`
`EAST\83001936.1
`
`2
`
`
`
`information" and "product development information").
`
`There is good cause to seal Petitioner's Reply because it contains
`
`confidential financial information of Patent Owner's products from Patent Owner's
`
`commercial success expert, Philip Green ("The Green Material"). The Green
`
`Material has been previously sealed in this proceeding and contains highly
`
`sensitive, confidential financial information and analysis related to Patent Owner's
`
`sales of products. The Green Material has been designated "Highly Confidential -
`
`- Attorneys' Eyes Only" by Patent Owner under the Protective Order entered in
`
`this Inter Partes Review. The Green Material also relies on documents produced
`
`in the underlying litigation that were designated "Confidential" and "Highly
`
`Confidential -- Attorneys' Eyes Only" by Patent Owner under the Protective Order
`
`entered by the U.S. District Court. Accordingly, good cause exists to seal Patent
`
`Owner's Exclusion Opposition.
`
`II.
`
`Certification of Non-Publication
`
`The undersigned counsel certify that the information sought to be sealed by
`
`this Motion to Seal has not, to their knowledge, been published or otherwise
`
`made public. The Parties have made efforts to maintain the confidentiality of
`
`this information in this proceeding and in a related district court proceeding
`
`between the parties in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of
`
`Pennsylvania (CA. No. 2:12-cv05680 AB).
`
`EAST\83001936.1
`

`
`
`
`III. Conclusion
`
`Accordingly, the Parties request that Petitioner's Reply be sealed pursuant to
`
`37 C.F.R. § 42.14.
