`
`SteadyMed Ltd. (“Petitioner”) hereby submits this Motion to Seal certain
`
`portions of its Opposition to Patent Owner’s Motion to Exclude (“Opposition”).
`
`The exact words and numbers being redacted are shown in the redacted version of
`
`the Opposition filed concurrently herewith, on pp. 1 and 2.
`
`Pursuant to Patent Owner’s previous requests, Petitioner files this Motion to
`
`Seal these specific, limited portions of Petitioner’s Opposition because they cite
`
`numeric purity information that Patent Owner contends is confidential.
`
`Notwithstanding the foregoing request, Petitioner: (1) makes this Motion pursuant
`
`to Patent Owner’s previous requests and Patent Owner’s contention that they are
`
`confidential; (2) does not believe the requested portions are confidential, or that
`
`they should remain under seal; and (3) further requests that the November 29 oral
`
`hearing in this matter be made open to the public.
`
`I.
`
`Good Cause Exists for Sealing Certain Confidential Information
`
`Each of the proposed redactions contain information that Patent Owner
`
`contends is confidential. Patent Owner asserts that good cause exists for sealing
`
`this information. Petitioner disagrees, but does not wish to dispute this issue at this
`
`time, but seeks to keep the oral argument open to the public.

`
`II. Certification of Non-Publication
`
`Based on Patent Owner’s previous representations, the undersigned counsel
`
`certifies that, to the best of their knowledge the information sought to be sealed by
`
`this Motion to Seal has not been published or otherwise made public.
`
`III. Certification of Conference with Opposing Party Pursuant to 37
`C.F.R. § 42.54
`
`Petitioner and Patent Owner have previously conferred about the
`
`information contained in this Motion to Seal and Patent Owner has no objection to
`
`sealing the requested portions.
`
`IV. Protective Order
`
`The Board has entered a protective order in Paper No. 16, which the parties
`
`have agreed will govern handling of information designated confidential in this
`
`proceeding.
`
`V. Conclusion
`
`For the reasons stated above, based on Patent Owner’s request, Petitioner
`
`files this Motion requesting that the portions indicated herein of its Opposition be
`
`placed under seal for now, and only the redacted versions of its Opposition be
`
`made available to the public.
