`U.S. Patent No. 5,414,761
`
`MOTION TO SEAL PURSUANT TO 37 C.F.R. §§ 42.14 and 42.54(a)
`
`In accordance with 37 C.F.R. §§ 42.14 and 42.54(a), Universal Electronics
`
`Inc. (“UEI” or “Patent Owner”) respectfully submits this Motion to Seal. In
`
`support of its Response of Patent Owner Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.120 (the
`
`“Response”), Patent Owner establishes secondary considerations of non-
`
`obviousness based upon, among other things, the Declaration of Ramzi Ammari
`
`(the “Ammari Decl.”) (Ex. 2030); a June 28, 2004 Settlement Agreement (Ex.
`
`2031); a July 1, 2012 Settlement Agreement (Ex. 2033); a January 1, 2002
`
`Settlement Agreement (Ex. 2039); a September 1, 2009 Agreement (Ex. 2040); a
`
`January 1, 2007 Settlement Agreement (Ex. 2042); Nevo/Xsight Sales Data (Ex.
`
`2043); a December 17, 2001 Settlement Agreement (Ex. 2044); Upgradeable Sales
`
`Data (Ex. 2048); Licensing Royalties (Ex. 2049); and a November 1, 2004
`
`Settlement Agreement (Ex. 2050), all of which contain the confidential
`
`information of Patent Owner and, in many instances, one or more third parties.
`
`The Patent Owner’s Response also contains this confidential information.
`
`Patent Owner wishes to preserve the confidentiality of this information and
`
`prevent this information from falling into the hands of its competitors, including
`
`Petitioner. Patent Owner would be greatly prejudiced if its competitors were
`
`permitted to view the licensing royalties, sales data, or the terms of the various
`
`settlement agreements. The prejudice to Patent Owner is especially high with
`
`1
`
`
`
`IPR2014-01104
`
`
`
`U.S. Patent No. 5,414,761
`
`respect to Petitioner in view of the co-pending litigation between the parties.1
`
`Petitioner has not (yet) consented to Patent Owner’s Motion to Seal.2
`
`Patent Owner requests that the Board enter Patent Owner’s proposed
`
`protective order attached hereto as Ex. 2065. The proposed protective order
`
`largely adopts the Board’s default protective order except that subsections 2(A),
`
`(D), and (E) have been deleted. Having deleted those subsections, the parties, their
`
`employees, and their in-house counsel may not review information designated
`
`under the protective order. A redline showing the differences between the Board’s
`
`default protective order and Patent Owner’s proposed protective order is attached
`
`as Ex. 2066. Such modifications to the default protective order preventing access
`
`by in-house counsel, parties and party employees are necessary in this case, in
`
`view of the highly sensitive and competitive nature of the material Patent Owner
`
`seeks to file under seal.
`
`The Ammari Decl.(Ex. 2030); a June 28, 2004 Settlement Agreement (Ex.
`
`2031); a July 1, 2012 Settlement Agreement (Ex. 2033); a January 1, 2002
`
`Settlement Agreement (Ex. 2039); a September 1, 2009 Agreement (Ex. 2040); a
`
`January 1, 2007 Settlement Agreement (Ex. 2042); Nevo/Xsight Sales Data (Ex.
`
`2043); a December 17, 2001 Settlement Agreement (Ex. 2044); Upgradeable Sales
`
`1 Universal Electronics, Inc. v. Universal Remote Control, Inc., Ohsung
`Electronics Co., Ltd., and Ohsung Electronics U.S.A., Inc., Case No. SACV 13-
`00984 AG (JPRx) (C.D. Cal.).
`2 Petitioner’s counsel agreed not to oppose Patent Owner’s Motion to Seal.

`
`
`

`
`
`
`U.S. Patent No. 5,414,761
`
`Data (Ex. 2048); Licensing Royalties (Ex. 2049); a November 1, 2004 Settlement
`
`Agreement (Ex. 2050); and those portions of the Response reflecting information
`
`contained in the aforementioned exhibits constitute confidential information that
`
`falls within the scope of Patent Owner’s proposed protective order. (See Ex.
`
`2065.)
`
`Petitioner has filed redacted versions of its Response, the Ammari Decl. (Ex.
`
`2064), the Nevo/Xsight Sales Data (Ex. 2067), the UEI Upgradeable Sales Data
`
`(Ex. 2068), and the UEI Licensing Royalties (Ex. 2069), all of which are available
`
`for public viewing. Patent Owner has submitted unredacted, confidential versions
`
`of these documents to be viewed only by counsel and the Board. The settlement
`
`agreements, by their very terms, are comprised entirely of non-public information
`
`such that Patent Owner cannot file any portions of those documents for public
`
`viewing without breaching those agreements. Patent Owner is thus contractually
`
`obligated to preserve the confidentiality of those agreements.
`
`Patent Owner has demonstrated good cause to file under seal its Response;
`
`the Ammari Decl. (Ex. 2030); a June 28, 2004 Settlement Agreement (Ex. 2031); a
`
`July 1, 2012 Settlement Agreement (Ex. 2033); a January 1, 2002 Settlement
`
`Agreement (Ex. 2039); a September 1, 2009 Agreement (Ex. 2040); a January 1,
`
`2007 Settlement Agreement (Ex. 2042); Nevo/Xsight Sales Data (Ex. 2043); a
`
`December 17, 2001 Settlement Agreement (Ex. 2044); Upgradeable Sales Data

`
`Agreement (Ex. 2050), all of which contain the confidential information of Patent
`
`Owner and, in many instances, one or more third parties. Accordingly, Patent
`
`Owner respectfully requests that the Board grant its Motion to Seal Pursuant to 37
`
`C.F.R. § 42.14 and 42.54(a) and enter its proposed protective order.
