`·1· ·purpose, other than these proceedings, which are
`
`·2· ·over.
`
`·3· · · · · · The Consolidated Trial Practice Guide at
`
`·4· ·Page 115 has a provision specifically addressing
`
`·5· ·disposal of confidential information after a
`
`·6· ·proceeding is terminated.· It requires that, within
`
`·7· ·60 days after the time for appeal has expired, a
`
`·8· ·party must return or destroy the confidential
`
`·9· ·information and provide a certification of
`
`10· ·destruction to the party that produced it.
`
`11· · · · · · We called this provision to AIT's attention
`
`12· ·after the 60 day period expired, and AIT has refused
`
`13· ·to comply, and, in that, we are here asking that
`
`14· ·Your Honors order AIT to comply.
`
`15· · · · · · RPX simply does not have confidence that
`
`16· ·AIT will not misuse RPX's confidential information
`
`17· ·if AIT is allowed to retain it.· The Board has
`
`18· ·already sanctioned AIT once in these proceedings for
`
`19· ·misusing RPX's confidential information, and any use
`
`20· ·AIT might make would necessarily not be in
`
`21· ·connection with these proceedings.· There's no
`
`22· ·legitimate reason for AIT to retain this
`
`23· ·information.
`
`24· · · · · · Now, AIT wants to use this information in

`·1· ·its lawsuit against Sales Force.· Indeed, eight days
`
`·2· ·after the Board issued its decision terminating
`
`·3· ·these proceedings in September of 2020, AIT added
`
`·4· ·its litigation counsel, Mr. Pacelli and Mr. Whitman,
`
`·5· ·as additional attorneys in these matters, and they
`
`·6· ·signed the protective order granting them access to
`
`·7· ·RPX's confidential information.
`
`·8· · · · · · These proceedings have been ongoing for
`
`·9· ·five years before AIT decided to add its litigation
`
`10· ·attorneys to these matters, and AIT did so only
`
`11· ·after the Board terminated the proceedings.
`
`12· · · · · · Now, AIT responded to RPX's request that
`
`13· ·AIT destroy copies of RPX's confidential information
`
`14· ·by issuing a subpoena to RPX in the litigation
`
`15· ·asking for same information.
`
`16· · · · · · AIT has suggested to us that AIT should be
`
`17· ·entitled to retain RPX's confidential information
`
`18· ·unless and until it gains access to it in the Sales
`
`19· ·Force litigation.· We disagree.
`
`20· · · · · · In this email of April 16th to Your Honors,
`
`21· ·AIT suggested that RPX is seeking to destroy
`
`22· ·evidence that could be relevant in the Sales Force
`
`23· ·litigation; so AIT should be able to preserve this
`
`24· ·evidence until it is granted access to it in the

`
`·2· · · · · · RPX is not taking to destroy any evidence.
`
`·3· ·RPX has its own copy of this confidential
`
`·4· ·information and has represented to AIT and to Your
`
`·5· ·Honors that it will retain it.· All RPX is seeking
`
`·6· ·is that Your Honors will order AIT to destroy the
`
`·7· ·copies in AIT's possession.
`
`·8· · · · · · RPX has not agreed that AIT is entitled to
`
`·9· ·receive RPX's confidential information in the Sales
`
`10· ·Force litigation, and that's an issue that may
`
`11· ·ultimately need be resolved by the District Court.
`
`12· ·Respectfully, that is not an issue for Your Honors
`
`13· ·to decide.
`
`14· · · · · · If RPX ever produces this information in
`
`15· ·the Sales Force litigation, it would be under the
`
`16· ·terms of an entirely different protective order
`
`17· ·governed by the District Court.
`
`18· · · · · · While that issue is being sorted out before
`
`19· ·the District Court, there is no reason for AIT to
`
`20· ·maintain possession of this information because AIT
`
`21· ·cannot use it in any way that does -- does not
`
`22· ·violate their protective order acknowledgment in
`
`23· ·these proceedings.· Again, there's simply no

`
`·2· · · · · · In terms of the relief we're seeking, RPX
`
`·3· ·is simply asking that Your Honors order AIT to
`
`·4· ·comply with the Trial Practice Guide by immediately
`
`·5· ·destroying all copies of RPX's confidential
`
`·6· ·information in the possession of AIT and its lawyers
`
`·7· ·and -- and by providing to RPX a certification that
`
`·8· ·AIT has done so.
`
`·9· · · · · · We also ask for destruction rather than
`
`10· ·return of confidential information because the
`
`11· ·information was served electronically, so return
`
`12· ·without destruction would be meaningless.· And we
`
`13· ·ask for destruction immediately because we are
`
`14· ·already 34 days beyond a 60 day period the Trial
`
`15· ·Practice Guide specifies, and there's no
`
`16· ·justification for AIT to retain RPX's confidential
`
`17· ·information a moment longer.
`
`18· · · · · · We would also ask that Your -- Your Honors
`
`19· ·order AIT to certify that it will not access copies
`
`20· ·of confidential information that are available on
`
`21· ·the Board's website.· There is a pending motion to
`
`22· ·expunge that information, but unless and until Your
`
`23· ·Honors act on that motion, we ask that you order

`

`
`·6· ·Weidenfeller.
`
`·7· · · · · · I have one question before we -- we move on
`

`
`10· ·from the Trial Practice Guide should apply in these
`
`11· ·proceedings, although there's a disagreement about
`
`12· ·when that should happen?· Is that your
`
`13· ·understanding?
`
`14· · · · · · MR. GIUNTA:· I'm hesitant to say, Your
`
`15· ·Honor.· I guess I would leave it to AIT.
`
`16· · · · · · I can tell you that we -- we had quite the
`
`17· ·back and forth about this.· Ultimately, AIT agreed
`
`18· ·that it would destroy the confidential information
`
`19· ·if the protective order was modified to require it
`
`20· ·and -- which RPX agreed to do, but then negotiations
`
`21· ·broke down because AIT's position was that they
`
`22· ·shouldn't be forced to destroy the information,
`
`23· ·unless and until first Your Honors entered the
`
`24· ·revised protective order and then, secondly, they

`
`·6· · · · · · JUDGE WEIDENFELLER:· Okay.· Thank you.
`
`·7· · · · · · Why don't we hear from AIT.
`
`·8· · · · · · I'm sorry.· For the Court Reporter's
`
`·9· ·benefit, this is Judge Weidenfeller again.
`
`10· · · · · · Why don't we move to counsel for AIT and,

`
`14· · · · · · MR. PACELLI:· Yes.· Good afternoon, Your
`
`15· ·Honor.· Andrea Pacelli for the Patent Owner, AIT.
`
`16· · · · · · Yes, I can clarify our position.· As Mr.
`
`17· ·Giunta said, yes, we would agree to a
`
`18· ·modified amended protective order with a 45 day
`
`19· ·provision as opposed to immediate destruction, and
`
`20· ·if Your Honor allows, I can -- I can give a little
`
`21· ·bit of background.
`
`22· · · · · · So as -- as Your Honor understands, the
`
`23· ·dispute is really about timing here, and we -- and
`
`24· ·we all agree that we need more guidance on this

`
`·1· ·issue because the protective order enforced does not
`
`·2· ·provide for destruction of documents, and the Trial
`
`·3· ·Practice Guide does provide guidelines that I
`
`·4· ·respect, but there's -- there's no rules or other
`
`·5· ·binding authority; so we would need intervention by
`
`·6· ·the Board.
`
`·7· · · · · · So we proposed by RPX that we would
`
`·8· ·consider an amendment to the protective order along
`
`·9· ·those very guidelines in the Trial Practice Guide,
`
`10· ·and we got to the point that we then we exchanged
`
`11· ·drafts of the proposed amendment of the executive
`
`12· ·order.
`
`13· · · · · · Now, as I said, the only disagreement was
`
`14· ·about timing.· AIT proposed a deadline of 45 days,
`
`15· ·as -- as the judge explained, after entering the
`
`16· ·protective order.· RPX's proposal was just 10
`
`17· ·business days -- not immediate but 10 business days,
`
`18· ·which is 14 calendar days; so we are about 30 days
`
`19· ·apart, and, again, 30 days should not make a lot of
`
`20· ·difference.· This case has been going on five years,
`
`21· ·and the Trial Practice Guide provides for 60 days --
`
`22· ·for a 60 day waiting period, so 45 days is -- you
`
`23· ·know, is reasonable.
`
`24· · · · · · Now, with respect to the timing issue, this

`
`·1· ·is what is going on in this case.· So, as you
`
`·2· ·know -- Your Honor knows, the -- the pending
`
`·3· ·litigation in District Court currently is Sales
`
`·4· ·Force, and -- and -- and the Board has filed Sales
`
`·5· ·Force to be a party in interest in that proceeding.
`
`·6· · · · · · In the District Court litigation, Sales
`
`·7· ·Force seeks to rely on the IPR record, and it's only
`
`·8· ·fair that, if -- if Sales Force wants to rely on
`
`·9· ·that record, AIT should also be able to rely on the
`
`10· ·same record that it pertains to Sales Force, if
`
`11· ·Sales Force is deemed to be a party with the IPR.
`
`12· ·So these documents are clearly -- clearly relevant
`
`13· ·to the District Court litigation.
`
`14· · · · · · Now, as Mr. Giunta explained under the
`
`15· ·Board's protective order, those documents cannot be
`
`16· ·used in the District Court litigation.· So, on April
`
`17· ·9 of this year, AIT served on RPX a litigation
`
`18· ·subpoena for the same documents at issue.
`
`19· · · · · · So we get to the 45 days.· The 45 days that
`
`20· ·AIT requests provide a bit more of an overlap
`
`21· ·between the Board's protective order and the
`
`22· ·District Court's protective order, basically, a
`
`23· ·bridge, and this allows RPX to comply with the
`
`24· ·subpoena by simply agreeing for the documents

`
`·1· ·produced in the IPR's to be used in the District
`
`·2· ·Court litigation under the Court's protective order.
`
`·3· · · · · · So, just to clarify, we're not proposing
`
`·4· ·self-help here.· Obviously, RPX would have to
`
`·5· ·authorize use of the documents in the District Court
`
`·6· ·litigation.
`
`·7· · · · · · The important thing is that this is the
`
`·8· ·least burdensome option for the parties and the
`
`·9· ·least burdensome option for RPX to comply with the
`
`10· ·subpoena.· So, by insisting that we eliminate this
`
`11· ·overlap, now RPX wants to create an artificial
`
`12· ·burden on itself and the other parties.
`
`13· · · · · · And, just to clarify one more thing, as
`
`14· ·counsel, both we and counsel for RPX need to be
`

`
`·1· · · · · · MR. GIUNTA:· Your Honor, may I respond to a
`
`·2· ·couple of points.
`
`·3· · · · · · JUDGE WEIDENFELLER:· Yes.· Please, do so.
`
`·4· · · · · · MR. GIUNTA:· So what counsel just said was
`
`·5· ·that, in order to make Your Honors aware of what
`
`·6· ·else is going on in this case -- so this case --
`
`·7· ·these cases -- there's three of them -- three IPRs
`
`·8· ·are over.· There's nothing else going on in these
`
`·9· ·proceedings, but only AIT wants to use this
`
`10· ·information in an entirely different proceeding to
`
`11· ·which RPX is not a party.
`
`12· · · · · · Now, what he suggested is that the benefit
`
`13· ·of this bridge or overlap, as he described it, is
`
`14· ·that it would -- it would reduce the burden on RPX
`
`15· ·in -- in producing this information.
`
`16· · · · · · Rpx was quite comfortable that it will not
`
`17· ·be a big burden if ultimately it's -- it's deemed by
`
`18· ·the District Court that RPX needs to provides this
`
`19· ·information in litigation.· It would be quite easy
`
`20· ·for RPX to do it.
`
`21· · · · · · I respectfully submit that it sounds much
`
`22· ·more concerning to us that the reason AIT wants a
`
`23· ·bridge is that it will have this information so that
`
`24· ·it can use it during that time period, and if it

`
`·1· ·does, that is a violation of Your Honor's protective
`
`·2· ·order.
`
`·3· · · · · · Again, there's absolutely no reason for
`
`·4· ·them to have this information, unless and until they
`
`·5· ·get it in the litigation, and if that happens,
`
`·6· ·they'll have it again.· Up until that point, they
`
`·7· ·shouldn't be using it and they don't need to have
`
`·8· ·it.
`
`·9· · · · · · And then, lastly, counsel suggested that
`
`10· ·they had a duty to preserve this evidence.· They
`
`11· ·told us that during the meeting before they had
`
`12· ·absolutely no authority for that position.· What he
`
`13· ·is suggesting is that he thinks the information that
`
`14· ·he got in these proceedings under very strict
`
`15· ·circumstances that can only be used here might be
`
`16· ·helpful to a client in some other proceeding; so he
`
`17· ·wants to hold on to it so that he can use it in a
`
`18· ·different proceeding, and if they do that, that is a
`
`19· ·clear violation of Your Honor's protective order.
`
`20· · · · · · So there's absolutely no reason for them to
`
`21· ·have this information.· The District Court will sort
`
`22· ·this out.· Again, it is not -- he's making arguments
`
`23· ·to Your Honors about why this is relevant in the
`
`24· ·litigation.· Respectfully, those are arguments that

`

`
`·2· ·arguments prevail, they will get it up.· Up until
`
`·3· ·then, AIT shouldn't have this information, and we
`
`·4· ·ask that Your Honors order them to destroy it.
`
`·5· · · · · · MR. PACELLI:· Your Honor, may I respond?
`
`·6· · · · · · JUDGE WEIDENFELLER:· Yes.· Please, do so.
`
`·7· · · · · · MR. PACELLI:· Yes, very briefly.
`
`·8· · · · · · First of all, I appreciate Counsel's
`
`·9· ·representation that producing the documents by RPX,
`
`10· ·it will not be a big burden, because as Your Honor
`
`11· ·knows, burden is an issue in responding to a
`
`12· ·third-party subpoena.
`
`13· · · · · · So our concern is that RPX, after the
`
`14· ·search on documents, might argue burden to the
`
`15· ·District Court.· So I appreciate your recommendation
`
`16· ·that there's no burden, and just to be clear, AIT
`
`17· ·will not use the documents until it's allowed to do
`
`18· ·so under the District Court's protective order.
`
`19· · · · · · Thank you.
`
`20· · · · · · JUUDGE WEIDENFELLER:· Thank you.
`
`21· · · · · · I think we understand the position of each
`
`22· ·party.· Please, hold for a moment while the panel
`
`23· ·confers.· Thank you.
