`
`PATENT OWNER’S UNOPPOSED MOTION TO SEAL
`PURSUANT TO 37 C.F.R. § 42.14
`
`
`
`
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. §§ 42.14 and 42.54 Patent Owner Bradium
`
`Technologies LLC (“Patent Owner”) respectfully requests that the Board seal
`
`portions of Patent Owner’s Reply to Petitioner’s Opposition to Patent Owner’s
`
`Motion to Exclude and Exhibit 2082, a November 23, 2016 Letter to Isaac
`
`Levanon of 3-D-V-U Israel (2000) Ltd. (“3DVU Israel”) from DENSO Corp.
`
`The Parties have conferred regarding this motion and Petitioner Microsoft
`
`Corporation does not oppose the Motion.
`
`I.
`
`PATENT OWNER’S MOTION TO SEAL
`
`The Office Patent Trial Practice Guide provides that “the rules aim to strike
`
`a balance between the public’s interest in maintaining a complete and
`
`understandable file history and the parties’ interest in protecting truly sensitive
`
`information.” 77 Fed. Reg. 48,756, 48,760 (Aug. 14, 2012). Those rules “identify
`
`confidential information in a manner consistent with Federal Rule of Civil
`
`Procedure 26(c)(1)(G), which provides for protective orders for trade secret or
`
`other confidential research, development, or commercial information.” Id. (citing
`
`37 C.F.R. § 42.54).
`
`Patent Owner Bradium has good cause to seal portions of its Reply to
`
`Petitioner’s Opposition to Patent Owner’s Motion to Exclude because the portions
`
`in question reference material for which 3-D-V-U Israel (2000) Ltd. is under a
`
`confidentiality obligation pursuant to Exhibit 2029. As explained in Bradium’s
`
`1
`
`
`
`
`
`November 7, 2016 Motion to Seal (Paper 15), Exhibit 2029 is a confidential
`
`License Agreement signed by Mr. Isaac Levanon. The agreement imposes a
`
`confidentiality requirement. Exhibit 2029 at 7 (Section 11). DENSO Corporation
`
`has requested that Patent Owner Bradium maintain Exhibit 2029 as confidential
`
`pursuant to a protective order.
`
`Exhibit 2082 is a confidential letter from DENSO to 3-D-V-U Israel (2000)
`
`Ltd. that relates to information for which 3-D-V-U Israel (2000) Ltd. and Bradium
`
`are under a confidentiality obligation pursuant to Exhibit 2029.
`
`In accordance with the Protective Order (Paper 14) § 4(A)(ii), the non-
`
`confidential version of the Patent Owner’s Reply to Petitioner’s Opposition to
`
`Patent Owner’s Motion to Exclude is concurrently being filed by Patent Owner
`
`with confidential information redacted.
`
`II.
`
`CONCLUSION
`
`For the foregoing reasons, Patent Owner respectfully requests that the Board
`
`seal the portions of Patent Owner’s Reply to Petitioner’s Opposition to Patent
`
`Owner’s Motion to Exclude and Exhibit 2082.

`
