`

`STATEMENT OF PRECISE RELIEF REQUESTED
`
`IPR2017-01373
`Patent Owner’s Motion to Seal
`
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. §§ 42.14 and 42.54, Patent Owner Genentech, Inc.
`
`respectfully requests that the Board seal Exhibits 2001 (Laboratory Notebook
`
`10098 (Leonard Presta)), 2002 (Laboratory Notebook 10823 (Leonard Presta)),
`
`2003 (Laboratory Notebook 11268 (Paul Carter)), 2004 (Laboratory Notebook
`
`11643 (Paul Carter)), 2005 (Laboratory Notebook 10840 (John Brady)), 2006
`
`(Laboratory Notebook 11162 (John Brady)), 2007 (Excerpts from Laboratory
`
`Notebook 11008 (Ann Rowland)), 2008 (Excerpts from Laboratory Notebook
`
`11297 (Tim Hotaling)), 2009 (Excerpts from Laboratory Notebook 11568
`
`(Monique Carver)), 2010 (Interoffice Memorandum from Paul Carter to Leonard
`
`Presta and Dennis Henner), 2011 (Interoffice Memorandum from Paul Carter to
`
`Leonard Presta), 2012 (Synthetic DNA Requests), 2013 (Synthetic DNA
`
`Requests), 2014 (Protein Engineering of 4D5: Status Report), 2015 (Interoffice
`
`Memorandum re: RCC Meeting Minutes), 2016 (Declaration of Dr. Leonard G.
`
`Presta), 2017 (Declaration of Dr. Paul J. Carter), and 2018 (Declaration of John
`
`Ridgway Brady).
`
`REASONS FOR RELIEF REQUESTED
`
`
`
`Although “the default rule is that all papers filed in an inter partes review
`
`are open and available for access by the public,” a party may file a motion with the
`
`Board to seal confidential information that is protected from disclosure. Garmin v.
`1
`
`
`
`

`

`Cuozzo, IPR2012-00001, Paper No. 36. “The standard for granting a motion to
`
`IPR2017-01373
`Patent Owner’s Motion to Seal
`
`
`seal is ‘for good cause.’” Id. (quoting 37 C.F.R § 42.54). The Office Patent Trial
`
`Practice Guide, 77 Fed. Reg. 48756, 48760 (Aug. 14, 2012), states that the “rules
`
`identify confidential information in a manner consistent with Federal Rule of Civil
`
`Procedure (“FRCP”) 26(c)(1)(G), which provides for protective orders for trade
`
`secret or other confidential research, development, or commercial information.”
`
`The parties have conferred and agreed to the provisions of the Modified
`
`Default Standing Protective Order set forth in Exhibit 2030, and have stipulated to
`
`be bound to the terms set forth therein. Exhibit 2031 shows the proposed
`
`modifications from the Default Standing Protective Order, to which the parties
`
`have stipulated, in redline.1 The Modified Default Standing Protective Order
`
`provides:
`
`Where confidentiality is alleged as to some but not all of the
`information submitted to the Board, the submitting party shall file
`confidential and non-confidential versions of its submission, together
`with a Motion to Seal the confidential version setting forth the reasons
`why the information redacted from the non-confidential version is
`
`
`1 The parties have stipulated to an identical modified default standing protective
`
`order in other proceedings. See IPR2017-01121, Paper 8, Ex. 2036; IPR2017-
`
`01122, Paper 8, Ex. 2036.
`

`
`

`

`IPR2017-01373
`Patent Owner’s Motion to Seal
`
`
`confidential and should not be made available to the public. The
`nonconfidential version of the submission shall clearly indicate the
`locations of information that has been redacted. The confidential
`version of the submission shall be filed under seal. The redacted
`information shall remain under seal unless, upon motion of a party and
`after a hearing on the issue, or sua sponte, the Board determines that
`some or all of the redacted information does not qualify for confidential
`treatment.
`(Ex. 2030, Modified Default Standing Protective Order and Patent Owner’s
`
`Certification of Agreement to Terms, at 3.)
`
`Exhibits 2001-2009 are laboratory notebooks authored by several Genentech
`
`scientists. Exhibits 2001-2009 contain information pertaining to each scientist’s
`
`work product during the course of his or her employment at Genentech, and are
`
`therefore “confidential research [and] development . . . information” pursuant to
`
`FRCP 26(c)(1)(G).
`
`Exhibits 2010-2015 are internal communications within Genentech
`
`pertaining to confidential research and development activities being conducted by
`
`scientists at Genentech, and are therefore “confidential research [and] development
`
`. . . information” pursuant to FRCP 26(c)(1)(G). Furthermore, Exhibit 2015 was
`
`marked “CONFIDENTIAL” internally by Genentech.
`
`Exhibits 2016-2018 are declarations by three Genentech scientists pertaining
`
`to confidential research and development activities related to the invention
`3
`
`
`
`

`

`described and claimed in U.S. Patent No. 6,407,213. The redacted portions of
`
`IPR2017-01373
`Patent Owner’s Motion to Seal
`
`
`Exhibits 2016-2018 contain “confidential research [and] development . . .
`
`information” pursuant to FRCP 26(c)(1)(G).
`
`Patent Owner therefore respectfully requests that the aforementioned
`
`materials remain under seal pursuant to the Proposed Modified Default Standing
`
`Protective Order.
