`Case IPR2015-01972
`Patent No. 6,701,344 B1
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. §§ 42.14 and 42.54 and the Board’s December 12,
`
`2016 Order (Pap. 101), Petitioners Activision Blizzard, Inc., Electronic Arts Inc.,
`
`Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc., 2K Sports, Inc., Rockstar Games, Inc., and
`
`Bungie, Inc. (the “Petitioners”) respectfully move to seal portions of Exhibits
`
`1124-1125 (collectively, Petitioners’ “Subject Exhibits”), non-confidential,
`
`redacted versions of which are being filed concurrently herewith.2
`
`I.
`
`BACKGROUND
`
`Pursuant to the Board’s December 12, 2016 Order (Pap. 101), Patent Owner
`
`Acceleration Bay, LLC (“PO”) filed a Motion for Entry of the Proposed Stipulated
`
`Protective Order and to Seal Certain Exhibits (Pap. 105, “Motion to Seal”) seeking
`
`to seal portions of its Patent Owner Response, Patent Owner’s Opposition to
`
`Petitioner’s Motion to Exclude, and Exhibits 2023-2026, 2028-2029, 2048-49,
`
`2083, 2094, and 2107 that PO alleges contain “highly confidential information.”
`
`Because Petitioners’ Subject Exhibits cite to the papers and exhibits that PO
`
`alleges contain “highly confidential information,” Petitioners move to file under
`
`seal the portions of their Subject Exhibits that cite to the purportedly “highly
`
`
`2 In addition, pursuant to the Board’s December 12, 2016 Order (Pap. 101),
`
`Petitioners will notify the Board via email of the papers and exhibits that
`
`Petitioners wish to de-designate as confidential.
`
`2
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`confidential information.” If the Board denies PO’s Motion to Seal in whole or in
`
`Case IPR2015-01972
`Patent No. 6,701,344 B1
`
`
`
`
`part, Petitioners would adjust their request to seal portions of their Subject Exhibits
`
`accordingly. Petitioners agree to be bound by the terms of the Board’s Default
`
`Protective Order, which PO filed as Exhibit 2118.
`
`II. GOOD CAUSE EXISTS FOR SEALING CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL
`INFORMATION
`
`Good cause for sealing portions of Petitioners’ Subject Exhibits exists to the
`
`extent that the Board determines that good cause exists for sealing the papers and
`
`exhibits that are the subject of PO’s Motion to Seal.
`
`III. CERTIFICATION OF CONFERENCE WITH OPPOSING PARTY
`PURSUANT TO 37 C.F.R. § 42.54
`
`Petitioners and PO previously conferred and Petitioners did not oppose PO’s
`
`request for entry of the Default Protective Order. Petitioners also notified PO of
`
`Petitioners’ proposed redactions and de-designations on January 18, 2017. PO
`
`responded on January 19, 2017 indicating that PO agrees to Petitioners’ proposed
`
`redactions and de-designations.
