`
`JOINT MOTION TO ENTER STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
`
`EAST\74752861.1
`
`
`
`The parties agree to the Stipulated Protective Order (the “Protective Order”),
`
`attached as Exhibit “A” hereto, and respectfully request that it be entered in the
`
`above-referenced Inter Partes Review proceeding (the “Inter Partes Review
`
`Proceeding”). For the Board’s convenience, attached as Exhibit “B” is a marked-
`
`up version of the Default Protective Order provided in Appendix B of the Office
`
`Patent Trial Practice Guide, 77 FR 48756-01 (Aug. 14, 2012), which shows the
`
`differences between the parties’ proposed Protective Order and the Default
`
`Protective Order.
`
`The proposed revisions made by the parties to the Default Protective Order
`
`are intended to harmonize the protective order in this proceeding with the parties’
`
`protective order currently in force in the related district court litigation in the
`
`Eastern District of Pennsylvania, which is attached hereto Exhibit “C.” In
`
`particular, the revisions endeavor to avoid (1) differences between the protective
`
`orders in who may access certain documents; and (2) the expense of re-marking
`
`and re-producing documents that were already exchanged between the parties in
`
`the related district court litigation.
`
`The parties hereby jointly move the Board for an order entering the
`
`Protective Order in this Inter Partes Review Proceeding.
