`PATENT OWNER’S REQUEST TO TREAT SETTLEMENT

`U.S. Patent 8,050,652
`Pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 317(b), 37 C.F.R. § 42.74(c), and the Board’s e-mail
`
`of April 28, 2015, authorizing the filing of this request, Patent Owner (Black Hills
`
`Media, LLC) hereby requests that a true copy of the agreement filed concurrently
`
`herewith as Exhibit 2001 be treated as business confidential information and be
`
`kept separate from the file of IPR2015-00590 involving U.S. Patent 8,050,652.
`
`Exhibit 2001 is being submitted in the PRPS system as “Parties and Board Only.”
`
`As the Patent Owner considers the agreement to be business confidential
`
`information that would substantially harm its business interests if publicly
`
`disclosed, the Patent Owner requests that this agreement shall only be available
`
`pursuant to the conditions of 37 C.F.R. § 42.74(c)(1)-(2).
`
`Respectfully submitted,
