`Title: Web-Based Media Submission Tool
`
`
`
`PATENT OWNER’S
`MOTION TO SEAL
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`I.
`
`Introduction
`
`IPR2015-00806
`U.S. Pat. No. 7,765,482
`
`
`
`Patent Owner Summit 6 requests permission to seal several exhibits under
`
`37 C.F.R. § 42.14, as each exhibit contains confidential business information.
`
`Specifically, Summit 6 requests permission to seal the following exhibits:
`
`1.
`
`Exhibit 2001: RIM–Summit 6 License and Settlement Agreement
`
`(executed October 17, 2012);
`
`2.
`
`Exhibit 2002: Facebook–Summit 6 License and Settlement
`
`Agreement;
`
`3.
`
`Exhibit 2020: Confidential Information Memorandum, “AdMission”
`
`(Swiftsure Capital LLC, December 13, 2004);
`
`4.
`
`Exhibit 2021: Amendment No. 3 to the Visual Content Services
`
`Agreement Between eBay and iPIX (June 27, 2003); and
`
`5.
`
`Exhibit 2033: Visual Content Services Agreement Between eBay and
`
`iPIX (April 19, 2000);
`
`II. Each Exhibit Contains Confidential Information
`
`Exhibit 2001 is a confidential license agreement between Summit 6 and
`
`Research in Motion Limited. Section 6.1 specifically notes the confidentiality of
`
`the agreement and the terms of its disclosure. The agreement contains confidential
`
`1
`
`
`
`IPR2015-00806
`U.S. Pat. No. 7,765,482
`
`
`
`business information about both Summit 6 and Research in Motion Limited. Thus,
`
`this information is not publicly known, and should remain confidential.
`
`Exhibit 2002 is a confidential license agreement between Summit 6 and
`
`Facebook, Inc. Section 6.15 specifically notes the confidentiality of the agreement
`
`and the terms of its disclosure. The agreement contains confidential business
`
`information about both Summit 6 and Facebook, Inc. Thus, this information is not
`
`publicly known, and should remain confidential.
`
`
`
`Exhibit 2020
`
`is Swiftsure Capital LLC’s Confidential Information
`
`Memorandum for AdMission. It is specifically marked “Confidential” and
`
`contains proprietary business information about the AdMission company’s overall
`
`business, financial
`
`information,
`
`intellectual property, and future business
`
`opportunities. Thus, this information is not publicly known, and should remain
`
`confidential.
`
`
`
`Exhibit 2021 is Amendment No. 3 to the Visual Content Services
`
`Agreement Between eBay and iPIX, dated June 27, 2003. Section 8 of the parties’
`
`original Visual Content Services Agreement (Exhibit 2033) specifically notes the
`
`confidentiality of the agreement, and that provision governs Amendment No. 3.
`
`The Amendment contains confidential business information about both iPIX and
`
`2
`
`
`
`IPR2015-00806
`U.S. Pat. No. 7,765,482
`
`
`
`eBay. Thus, this information is not publicly known, and should remain
`
`confidential.
`
`
`
`Exhibit 2033 is the Visual Content Services Agreement Between eBay and
`
`iPIX, dated April 19, 2000. Section 8 specifically notes the confidentiality of the
`
`agreement and the terms of its disclosure. It is specifically marked “Confidential”
`
`and contains proprietary business information about both iPIX and eBay. Thus,
`
`this information is not publicly known, and should remain confidential.
`
`III. Each Exhibit Contains Confidential Business Information
`and Should Be Sealed.
`
`
`
`A party to an inter partes review proceeding may, concurrently with any
`
`filing, also file a motion to seal documents. 37 C.F.R. § 42.14. Only “confidential
`
`information” is protected from public disclosure. 35 U.S.C. § 316(a)(7); Office
`
`Trial Practice Guide, 77 Fed. Reg. 48756, 48760 (Aug. 14, 2012). The Board will
`
`grant a motion to seal for “good cause.” 37 C.F.R. § 42.54; Garmin Int’l, Inc. v.
`
`Cuozzo Speed Technologies, LLC, IPR2012-00001, Paper 34, p. 3 (March 14,
`
`2013).
`
`
`
`Summit 6 has good cause for seeking permission to place the outlined
`
`exhibits under seal. As outlined above, each exhibit contains confidential and
`
`proprietary business information. Each exhibit is also marked as “confidential” or
`
`3
`
`
`
`IPR2015-00806
`U.S. Pat. No. 7,765,482
`
`
`
`contains a clause governing its confidentiality. Therefore, Summit 6 respectfully
`
`requests permission to seal the selected exhibits.
`
`IV. Proposed Protective Order
`
`Summit 6 and Google Inc. have agreed to entry of the Standing Protective
`
`Order found in Appendix B of the Trial Practice Guide.
`
`V. Certification of Conference with Opposing Party
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.54.
`
`
`A motion to seal requires a certification that the moving party has in good
`
`faith conferred or attempted to confer with the opposing party in an effort to agree
`
`as to the scope of the proposed protective order. 37 C.F.R. § 42.54; Garmin,
`
`supra, at 3. Counsel for Summit 6 conferred with counsel for Google, Inc. and the
`
`parties agreed to the use of the Standing Protective Order. In addition, Summit 6
`
`and Google agreed that if either party is required to produce documents designated
`
`as Attorney’s Eyes Only from the concurrent district court litigation or any other
`
`source, the parties may jointly move to modify the Standing Protective Order and
`
`include a designation with the corresponding level of confidentiality.
`
`VI. Conclusion
`
`Summit 6 respectfully requests that the Board grant this Motion to Seal
`
`
`
`because it has good cause to seal the confidential exhibits.
