`Joint Motion for Protective Order, Case No. IPR2018-00067
`U.S. Patent No. 8,577,813
`
`I.
`
`RELIEF REQUESTED.
`
`Pursuant to the Board’s Scheduling Order in the above-captioned matter
`
`(Paper 16 at 2), Petitioner Unified Patents, Inc. (“Unified”) and Patent Owner
`
`Universal Secure Registry LLC (“USR”) hereby submit this Joint Motion for Entry
`
`of Protective Order. The parties have agreed to the [Proposed] Stipulated Protective
`
`Order (“Proposed SPO”) submitted herewith as Exhibit 2001. The Proposed SPO is
`
`a slightly revised version of the Board’s Default Protective Order, as indicated by
`
`the redlined comparison submitted as Exhibit 2002. The parties respectfully request
`
`that the Board enter the Proposed SPO in this proceeding. The Board provided
`
`authorization for filing this motion via e-mail dated August 20, 2018.
`
`II. GOOD CAUSE EXISTS FOR THE BOARD TO ENTER THE
`PROPOSED PROTECTIVE ORDER.
`
`The Proposed SPO is a revised version of the Board’s Default Protective
`
`Order, containing a few small revisions.
`
`First, it has been revised to include a “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL –
`
`ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,” such that competitively sensitive information will
`
`be shielded from disclosure to the opposing party’s officers or employees.
`
`Second, it provides that to the extent information is made available for
`
`inspection, those items need not be marked with a confidentiality designation until
`
`the item is copied. The default protective order does not include a provision
`
`
`

`
`

`

`U.S. Patent No. 8,577,813
`
`specifically addressing materials made available for inspection, and the procedure
`
`here provide an efficient manner of designation.
`
`Third, it provides that the parties should meet and confer in good faith if there
`
`is a disagreement on confidentiality designations, which will help ensure the parties
`
`do not burden the Board unnecessarily.
`
`Fourth, it provides small revisions to the provisions relating to who may view
`
`confidential materials, including provisions relating to outside counsel being
`
`permitted to view the materials and placing a limit on the number of employees of a
`
`party that may view the materials. These small revisions are designed to avoid
`
`inadvertent disclosure of confidential materials.
`
`Fifth, it provides that privileged materials may be redacted from documents
`
`that are produced and that confidential materials will only be used for this
`
`proceeding, in order to protect confidential materials and privileged information.
`
`To protect the parties’ confidential information and to promote efficiency in
`
`the resolution of their dispute, the parties submit that good cause exists for the Board
`
`to enter the proposed Protective Order.
`
`III. CONCLUSION
`
`
`
`For the foregoing reasons, the parties respectfully request that the Board
`
`grant this motion and enter the [Proposed] Stipulated Protective Order (Ex. 2001)
`
`in this proceeding.
