`
`
`
`UNOPPOSED MOTION TO SEAL UNDER 37 C.F.R. § 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 demonstrative
`
`exhibits, which are being filed concurrently herewith. Specifically, Arista moves
`
`to file under seal those portions of its demonstratives that disclose information
`
`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. This motion does not
`
`seek to designate any new information as confidential. 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
`

`
`
`

`Attorney Docket No: 40963-0006IP3
`business information. On February 1, 2016, in connection with the filing of
`
`Arista’s Reply to the Patent Owner Response, Arista filed a Motion To Seal those
`
`portions of its Reply discussing the materials that were the subject of Patent
`
`Owner’s Motion To Seal. The Board has not yet issued a decision on the parties’
`
`previous Motions To Seal.
`
`Arista’s demonstrative exhibits address arguments by Patent Owner that rely
`
`on Patent Owner’s confidential information. Thus, the demonstrative exhibits
`
`disclose information subject to Patent Owner’s confidentiality designations.
`
`Accordingly, consistent with the parties’ previous Motions To Seal, Petitioner
`
`moves that the Board seal those portions of its demonstratives at least until such
`
`time as the Board rules on the previously-filed Motions To Seal, in order to
`
`preserve the confidentiality of that information pending a decision on Patent
`
`Owner’s initial motion. Arista does not request that any other portions of its
`
`demonstrative exhibits be sealed.
`
`In accordance with the Default Protective Order, Petitioner is submitting
`
`herewith both a sealed version of its demonstrative exhibits and a redacted, public
`
`version of the same demonstrative exhibits.
