`
`Case IPR2016-01187
`Patent 8,894,066
`
`MOTION TO SEAL CERTAIN PORTIONS OF PATENT
`OWNER’S MOTION TO VACATE INSTITUTION DECISION
`AND TERMINATE PROCEEDING AND EXHIBIT THEREOF

`
`
`
`I.
`
`STATEMENT OF RELIEF REQUESTED
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.14, Patent Owner respectfully requests the Board
`
`U.S. Patent No. 8,894,066
`Motion to Seal
`
`seal certain portions of Motion to Vacate Institution Decision and Terminate
`
`Proceeding (“Motion to Terminate”) and its Exhibit, the transcript of James
`
`Thompson deposition.
`
`
`
`
`
`II.
`
`STATEMENT OF REASONS FOR THE RELIEF REQUESTED
`
`Patent Owner respectfully requests the Board seal certain portions of the
`
`Motion to Terminate and its Exhibit, the transcript of James Thompson deposition
`
`and submits redacted, non-confidential versions for the public. Paper 56; Ex.
`
`2022. Patent Owner believes seeking the Board’s prior authorization to file this
`
`Motion to Seal would be impractical and, as a result, submits this Motion to Seal
`
`without the Board’s authorization. See Office Patent Trial Practice Guide, 77 Fed.
`
`Reg. 48,755, 48,762 (Aug. 14, 2012) (“Motions where it is not practical to seek
`
`prior Board authorization include motions to seal . . . .”).
`
`Petitioners have informed Patent Owner that parts of the Motion to
`
`Terminate and the transcript of James Thompson deposition contain confidential
`
`information and business strategy. See Paper 52. Accordingly, Patent Owner
`
`respectfully requests certain redacted portions to remain sealed under the Board’s
`
`default protective order, or alternatively, Petitioners’ newly proposed protective
`
`
`
`.

`order. Ex. 1035.
`
`
`
`III. CONCLUSION
`
`For the foregoing reason, Patent Owner respectfully requests that the
`
`unredacted version of the Motion to Terminate and its Exhibit, transcript of James
`
`Thompson deposition be sealed from the public.
`
`
`
`
`
