`
`MOTION TO SEAL
`
`
`
`
`
`Motion to Seal
`Patent No. 6,717,518
`Petitioner moves to seal concurrently filed Exhibit 1012, which is an excerpt
`
`from Patent Owner’s infringement expert report filed in a parallel district court
`
`proceedings. Exhibit 1012 discusses the operation of Petitioner’s highly
`
`confidential, nonpublic source code in Petitioner’s products, which are accused of
`
`infringing U.S. Patent No. 6,717,518 in the district court proceedings. Public
`
`disclosure of the information in Exhibit 1012 may cause serious competitive harm
`
`to Petitioner. This motion is filed pursuant to an email from the Board authorizing
`
`filing of this motion and Exhibit 1012 on August 1, 2017 at 10:15 AM EST.
`
`Exhibit 1012 includes blue highlighting added by Petitioner to indicate the
`
`particularly relevant material.

`
`
`
`
`Motion to Seal
`Patent No. 6,717,518
`Petitioner concurrently files as Exhibit 1013 a proposed Protective Order.
`
`The only changes from the default Protective Order are that paragraphs 3 and 4 are
`
`newly added.1 In paragraph 3, the Order creates an additional category of
`
`designated material that may not be shared with the non-disclosing party or its
`
`employees. In paragraph 4, the Order implements a prosecution bar. Petitioner
`
`and Patent Owner have agreed to similar provisions in a protective order entered in
`
`the parallel district court proceedings. Moreover, Exhibit 1012 was designated
`
`under those provisions of the district court’s protective order, and Patent Owner
`
`has never challenged its confidentiality designation in the district court
`
`proceedings.
`
`The undersigned certifies that Petitioner met and conferred with Patent
`
`Owner and Patent Owner opposes this motion and the proposed Protective Order.
