`DECISION
`Motions to Seal

`Patent 7,861,774 B2
`Patent Owner filed unopposed motions to seal various exhibits.
`Papers 20, 30 (“Motions to Seal”). With the Motions to Seal, Patent Owner
`filed a proposed protective order as Paper 31. Patent Owner’s Motions to
`Seal persuade us that the information that Patent Owner seeks to seal
`constitutes confidential information and that good cause exists for sealing
`the information that the parties request to be sealed. See 37 C.F.R. § 42.54.
`Additionally, we determine that the parties’ proposed protective order is
`acceptable.
`It is therefore
`
`ORDERED that Patent Owner’s Motions to Seal are granted; and
`
`FURTHER ORDERED that the proposed protective order filed as
`
`Paper 31 is entered in this proceeding.
