`_______________
`
`BEFORE THE PATENT TRIAL AND APPEAL BOARD
`_____________
`
`ZERTO, INC.,
`
`Petitioner
`
`v.
`
`EMC CORPORATION,
`
`Patent Owner
`
`
`U.S. Patent No. 7,647,460
`Issue Date: January 12, 2010
`
`
`Title: Method And Apparatus For Implementing
`A Remote Mirroring Data Facility Without Employing A Dedicated Leased Line
`To Form The Link Between Two Remotely Disposed Storage Devices
`
`Inter Partes Review No. IPR2014-01329
`
`____________________________________________________________
`
`
`MOTION TO SEAL
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. §§ 42.14 and 42.54, Zerto, Inc. (“Zerto”) moves to
`
`seal portions of Zerto’s Petitioner’s Supplemental Briefing On Real Party In
`
`Interest (“the Supplemental Briefing”) which is being filed concurrent with this
`
`motion. Sealing this information falls squarely within the Board’s authority to
`
`“[require] that a trade secret or other confidential research, development, or
`
`commercial information not be revealed or be revealed only in a specified way.”
`
`37 C.F.R. § 42.54(a)(7).
`
`Zerto is also filing a redacted public version of the Supplemental Briefing.
`
`I. GOOD CAUSE EXISTS FOR SEALING CERTAIN
`CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
`
`The Office Patent Trial Practice Guide provides that “the 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). 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).
`
`The redacted portions of the Supplemental Briefing discuss sensitive and
`
`confidential business, financial, and/or strategy information that is contained in
`
`confidential Exhibits 2017 and 2024.

`
`
`II. CERTIFICATION OF NON-PUBLICATION
`
`On behalf of Zerto, undersigned counsel certifies that the information sought
`
`to be sealed by this Motion has not, to their knowledge, been published or
`
`otherwise made public by Zerto.
`
`III. CERTIFICATION OF CONFERENCE WITH OPPOSING PARTY
`PURSUANT TO 37 C.F.R. § 42.54
`
`Today, Zerto met-and-conferred with EMC by electronic mail. EMC does
`
`not object to this motion.
`
`IV . CONCLUSION
`
`For the foregoing reasons, Zerto respectfully requests that the Board seal the
`
`redacted portions of the Supplemental Briefing.
