`
`
`
`BEFORE THE PATENT TRIAL AND APPEAL BOARD
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Celltrion, Inc.
`Petitioner,
`v.
`Genentech, Inc.
`Patent Owner
`Patent No. 6,407,213
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Inter Partes Review No. IPR2017-01374
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`PETITIONER CELLTRION’S MOTION TO SEAL
`
`
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. §§ 42.14 and 42.54, Petitioner Celltrion, Inc.
`
`respectfully requests that the Board seal Petitioner’s Exhibit Nos. 1139-1142, as
`
`well as portions of Petitioner’s Reply and portions of Exhibit No. 1143 (Expert
`
`Declaration of Lutz Riechmann, Ph.D. in Support of Petitioner’s Reply), filed
`
`herewith. Patent Owner Genentech has designated each of the documents marked
`
`as Petitioner’s Exhibit Nos. 1139-1142 as Confidential pursuant to the Modified
`
`Default Standing Protective Order (Ex. 2030).1 The portions of Petitioner’s Reply
`
`and portions of Exhibit No. 1142 that Petitioner seeks to seal reflect information
`
`that Patent Owner has marked Confidential pursuant to the Modified Default
`
`Standing Protective Order.
`
`I.
`
` Good Cause Exists for Sealing the Documents
`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 to seal
`
`confidential information that is protected from disclosure. Garmin v. Cuozzo,
`
`IPR2012-00001, Paper No. 34 (PTAB March 14, 2013). “The standard for
`
`granting a motion to 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
`
`1 The Board entered the stipulated Modified Default Standing Protective Order on
`
`December 1, 2017. (Paper 17 at 3.)
`
`
`
`1
`
`
`
`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.”
`
`Petitioner is filing Exhibit Nos. 1139-1142 under seal. These documents are
`
`deposition transcripts of Patent Owner’s witnesses, which Patent Owner has
`
`designated as “PROTECTIVE ORDER MATERIAL” pursuant to the Modified
`
`Default Standing Protective Order entered by the Board (Ex. 2030, see supra n.1).
`
`Petitioner is also filing portions of Petitioner’s Reply and Exhibit No. 1143 under
`
`seal, as both documents specifically rely on and quote Exhibit Nos. 1139-1142.
`
`Redacted versions of Petitioner’s Reply and Exhibit No. 1143 have been publically
`
`filed. Based on Patent Owner’s designations, there is good cause to seal the
`
`designated information.
`
`II. Certification of Conference with Opposing Party Pursuant to 37 C.F.R.
`§ 42.54
`
`The parties have conferred and Patent Owner does not oppose this motion.
`
`THEREFORE, Petitioner respectfully requests that the Board grant this
`
`Motion to Seal.
