`ORDER
`Expunging Documents Bearing an Incorrect Confidentiality Designation
`37 C.F.R. § 42.7
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`IPR2016-00006
`Patent 8,497,393 B2
`
`
`
`On July 6, 2016, Patent Owner, United Therapeutics Corporation
`(“UTC”), timely filed its Patent Owner Response to Petition (Paper 31), and
`supporting Exhibits.1 Because the Patent Owner Response to Petition and
`Exhibits 2020 and 2022 include what UTC contends to be confidential
`information, UTC filed both confidential and redacted, publicly accessible
`versions of these (as well as other) documents.2
`As the result of an inadvertent clerical error, the publicly accessible
`Redacted Patent Owner Response to Petition (Paper 32), as well as the
`publicly accessible, redacted versions of Exhibits 2020 and 2022, each bear
`a title page confidentiality designation stating that the document
`“CONTAINS PROTECTIVE ORDER MATERIAL.”
`To avoid confusion regarding the confidentiality of these filings, on
`July 7, 2016, we authorized UTC to refile the publicly accessible versions of
`the Redacted Patent Owner Response to Petition and redacted Exhibits 2020
`and 2022 with the inaccurate confidentiality designations removed. UTC
`filed the corrected documents on July 7, 2016. Accordingly, to preserve the
`clarity of the record, we issue this order expunging the inaccurately marked
`publicly accessible versions of the Redacted Patent Owner Response to
`Petition and redacted Exhibits 2020 and 2022.
`
`
`
`1 Pursuant to the parties’ stipulated request, Due Date 1 was extended to July
`6, 2016. Order on the Conduct of the Proceeding (Paper 24).
`
` 2
`
` UTC concurrently filed a Motion to Seal portions of these documents, as
`well as portions of Exhibit 2051. That motion remains pending.

`Patent 8,497,393 B2
`
`
`
`It is
`ORDERED that the version of the Redacted Patent Owner Response
`to Petition (Paper 32) filed on July 6, 2016, the redacted version of Exhibit
`2020 filed on July 6, 2016, and the redacted version of Exhibit 2022 filed on
`July 6, 2016 shall each be expunged; and
`FURTHER ORDERED that the version of the Redacted Patent Owner
`Response to Petition (Paper 35) filed on July 7, 2016, the redacted version of
`Exhibit 2020 filed on July 7, 2016, and the redacted version of Exhibit 2022
`filed on July 7, 2016 shall each remain in the record.
