`ORDERED that Patent Owner’s motion for entry of the Board’s default
`
`protective order as set forth in Appendix B of the Office Trial Practice Guide is
`
`granted;
`
`FURTHER ORDERED that the Board’s default protective order, which was
`
`submitted by Patent Owner in each of these proceedings (IPR2014-01463, Paper
`
`18; IPR2014-01544, Paper 19), is entered; and
`
`FURTHER ORDERED that this protective order will govern the conduct of
`
`these proceedings unless otherwise modified.

`4 Petitioners oppose Patent Owner’s motions to seal that accompany the requests to
`enter the protective order. See IPR2014-01463, Paper 22; IPR2014-01544,
`Paper 23. This order does not address the motions to seal, which will be decided in
