`
`
`
`
`
`UNOPPOSED MOTION TO SEAL UNDER 37 CFR § 42.14
`
`
`
`Case IPR2016-00309
`Attorney Docket No: 40963-0006IP3
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. §§ 42.14, 42.54(a) Petitioner Arista Networks, Inc.,
`
`(“Arista”) hereby submits this Motion to Seal portions of its Reply to the Patent
`
`Owner Response, being filed concurrently herewith. The portions sought to be
`
`sealed substantively discuss materials designated by Patent Owner as for “the
`
`Board and Parties’ Eyes Only” under the Default Protective Order in connection
`
`with Patent Owner’s Motion to Seal (Paper No. 20), filed concurrently with the
`
`Patent Owner response. No additional materials or information are sought to be
`
`sealed. Patent Owner does not oppose this motion.
`
`The Board may seal documents where there is “good cause” that “strike[s] a
`
`balance between the public’s interest in maintaining a complete and
`
`understandable file history and the parties’ interest in protecting truly sensitive
`
`information.” The Office Trial Practice Guide, 77 Fed. Reg. 48756,48760 (August
`
`14, 2012). On September 29, 2016, Patent Owner filed its Patent Owner Response
`
`and, concurrently therewith, filed a Motion to Seal portions of the Patent Owner
`
`Response and certain exhibits thereto pursuant to the Default Protective Order
`
`(Paper Nos. 19, 20). Patent Owner redacted portions of its Patent Owner Response
`
`and designated exhibits 2008-2012, 2046, and 2047 as for “the Board and Parties’
`
`Eyes Only,” contending that those exhibits and related portions of the Patent
`
`Owner Response contained Patent Owner’s financial and technical confidential
`

`
`
`
`Case IPR2016-00309
`Attorney Docket No: 40963-0006IP3
`business information. The Board has not issued a decision on Patent Owner’s
`
`Motion to Seal.
`
`Because the Patent Owner Response presents arguments based on
`
`information that Patent Owner has designated confidential, Arista’s Reply to the
`
`Patent Owner Response necessarily also contains information subject to Patent
`
`Owner’s confidentiality designations. Accordingly, to preserve the confidentiality
`
`of the materials subject to Patent Owner’s Motion to Seal at least until such time as
`
`the Board rules on Patent Owner’s motion, Petitioner moves the Board to seal
`
`those portions its Reply that refer to materials designated by Patent Owner as for
`
`“the Board and Parties’ Eyes Only.” Arista does not request that any other
`
`portions of its Reply to the Patent Owner Response be sealed, nor does it request
`
`that any exhibits filed with its Reply be sealed.
`
`In accordance with the Default Protective Order, Petitioner is submitting
`
`herewith both a sealed version of its Reply to the Patent Owner Response and a
`
`redacted, public version of the same Reply.
