`Patent 7,092,671
`
`
`Introduction
`Petitioner Unified Patents (“Unified”) respectfully requests that the Board seal
`
`
`
`I.
`
`Exhibit 2005, a compilation of core Unified business information that is
`
`commercially and competitively sensitive, and maintain under seal the unredacted
`
`version of the Patent Owner Response filed on September 21, 2018. In response to
`
`Patent Owner’s contentions concerning the real party-in-interest (“RPI”) in this
`
`proceeding, Unified voluntarily produced confidential documents under the Board’s
`
`Default Protective Order to confirm that Unified properly identified itself as the sole
`
`RPI. The confidential documents detail Unified’s non-public business model and
`
`membership lists and practices, precisely the type of competitively sensitive and
`
`trade secret information for which there is good cause to grant a motion to seal.
`
`Despite producing the confidential documents to Patent Owner’s counsel
`
`under the Board’s Default Protective Order, Patent Owner incredulously asserts that
`
`Petitioner has waived the confidentiality of the documents because the documents
`
`were served to all counsel of record and an attorney at the law firm representing
`
`Patent Owner who did not specifically sign the Standard Acknowledgement of the
`
`Default Protective Order. Patent Owner is incorrect. The Board should reject Patent
`
`Owner’s attempt to use Unified’s voluntary disclosure under the Protective Order as
`
`a vehicle for publicly disclosing Unified’s sensitive and confidential business
`
`1
`
`

`

`IPR2018-00199
`Patent 7,092,671
`
`
`information. For the reasons below, good cause exists to seal Unified’s confidential
`
`documents (Ex. 2005) and the unredacted Patent Owner Response.
`
`II. Background and Procedural History
`On August 8, 2018, two months after institution of this proceeding, Patent
`
`Owner asked Petitioner to provide additional discovery relating to RPI and privity.
`
`The parties agreed to use the Board’s Default Protective Order to protect that
`
`information. Exhibit 1017 is the Default Protective Order with a Standard
`
`Acknowledgement executed by Patent Owner’s counsel, Brett Mangrum.
`
`The documents Petitioner voluntarily produced under the Protective Order
`
`were marked “PROTECTIVE ORDER MATERIAL.” At no point did Patent Owner
`
`challenge this confidentiality designation. On September 21, 2018, Patent Owner
`
`filed a Patent Owner Response under seal that quotes and discusses Petitioner’s
`
`confidential business information, including information subject to third-party
`
`confidentiality provisions. Contrary to the PTAB Trial Practice Guide, Patent
`
`Owner filed its Response under seal without the required motion to seal. On that
`
`same date, without giving Petitioner prior notice, Patent Owner also filed a redacted
`
`version of the Patent Owner Response (Paper 13).
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.54, Petitioner certifies that the parties conferred in
`
`a good faith effort to resolve the dispute regarding a motion to seal; however, an
`
`agreement was not reached. Thus, Petitioner submits this Opposed Motion to Seal.
`
`2
`
`

`

`
`
`III. Motion to Seal
`Patent Owner filed the Patent Owner Response together with Exhibit 2005, a
`
`IPR2018-00199
`Patent 7,092,671
`
`
`compilation of the entirety of Petitioner’s voluntarily produced confidential
`
`information. Exhibit 2005 contains sample Unified Membership Agreements and
`
`Subscription Forms that contain only confidential and sensitive business,
`
`commercial, and financial information. Exhibit 2005 also includes membership
`
`lists, closely held information related to Unified’s core business, and information
`
`subject to confidentiality agreements with third-parties. The Patent Owner Response
`
`directly quotes, references, and cites to confidential information in these documents.
`
`Exhibit 2005 contains invoices with sensitive financial information and the
`
`identity of Unified members, Subscription Fee Schedules with sensitive financial
`
`and commercial information (Ex. 2005: UP-000001; UP-000016; UP-000033; UP-
`
`000036; UP-000042 through UP-000043; UP-000048 through UP-000050; UP-
`
`000077), and Unified Member Agreements and Subscription Forms (id.: UP-000002
`
`through UP-000015; UP-000017 through UP-000019; UP-000020 through UP-
`
`000032; UP-000034 through UP-000035; UP-000037 through UP-000041; UP-
`
`000074 through UP-000076). Exhibit 2005 also includes non-public lists of Unified
`
`members and contact information for individuals at those entities (id.: UP-000044
`
`through UP-000047). Thus, pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.14, Petitioner moves to seal
`
`Exhibit 2005 in its entirety and the unredacted Patent Owner Response.

`

`
`
`IV. Good Cause Exists for Sealing These Documents
`
`IPR2018-00199
`Patent 7,092,671
`
`
`To seal documents, the Board must find “good cause.” Garmin v. Cuozzo,
`
`IPR2012-00001, Paper 36 (PTAB Apr. 5, 2013) and 37 C.F.R. § 42.54(a). Good
`
`cause is established by demonstrating that the balance of the following factors favors
`
`sealing the material: whether (1) the information sought to be sealed is truly
`
`confidential, (2) a concrete harm would result upon public disclosure, (3) there exists
`
`a genuine need to rely in the trial on the specific information sought to be sealed,
`
`and (4), on balance, an interest in maintaining confidentiality outweighs the strong
`
`public interest in having an open record. Argentum Pharms. LLC v. Alcon Research,
`
`Ltd., IPR2017-01053, Paper 27 at 4 (PTAB Jan. 19, 2018) (informative); see also
`
`Corning Optical Commc’ns RF, LLC, v. PPC Broadband, Inc., IPR2014-00440,
`
`Paper 47 at 3 (PTAB Apr. 14, 2015). The balance of these factors favors sealing the
`
`documents at issue.1
`
`
`1 The Board has granted numerous motions to seal where maintaining
`
`confidentiality of sensitive information outweighed the public interest in an open
`
`record. See, e.g., Hospira, Inc. v. Genentech, Inc., IPR2017-00731, Paper 24
`
`(PTAB Oct. 10, 2017); Unified Patents, Inc v. American Vehicular Scis., LLC,
`
`IPR2016-00364, Paper 15 (PTAB Jun. 27, 2016). This includes proceedings
`
`involving substantially the same information at issue here. See Unified Patents,
`
`4
`
`

`

`IPR2018-00199
`Patent 7,092,671
`
`First, the information Unified seeks to seal is truly confidential. As described
`
`
`
`in the PTAB Trial Practice Guide, 37 C.F.R. § 42.54 identifies “confidential
`
`information in a manner consistent with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure
`
`26(c)(1)(G), which provides for protective orders for trade secret or other
`
`confidential research, development, or commercial information.” 77 Fed. Reg.
`
`48,756, 48,760 (Aug. 14, 2012). The information sought to be sealed relates to
`
`Unified’s trade secrets and highly confidential business practices, including
`
`confidential and sensitive information relating to the identity of, and dealings with,
`
`Unified’s members. Much of the information in Exhibit 2005 is subject to
`
`confidentiality agreements with non-party members of Unified. Exhibit 2005
`
`includes details of how Unified conducts its proprietary business, which Unified
`
`closely guards and does not publicly disclose, sensitive financial information,
`
`confidential contractual agreements between Unified and its members, and the
`
`identity of, and details of the relationship with, Unified’s members. Patent Owner
`
`has not contested the sensitivity of this information or the fact that it is core to
`
`Unified’s business. The Board has separately found that substantially similar or the
`
`
`Inc. v. Dragon Intellectual Prop., LLC, IPR2014-01252, Paper 40 (PTAB Feb. 27,
`
`2015); Unified Patents, Inc. v. Realtime Adaptive Streaming, LLC, IPR2018-
`
`00883, Paper 31 (PTAB Oct. 17, 2018).
`
`5
`
`

`

`IPR2018-00199
`Patent 7,092,671
`
`
`same information produced by Unified should be sealed in other proceedings. See,
`
`e.g., Unified Patents, Inc v. Dragon Intellectual Prop., LLC, IPR2014-01252, Paper
`
`40 (PTAB Feb. 27, 2015) (granting Unified’s Motion to Seal information identifying
`
`Unified’s members, membership terms and business strategy, and financial
`
`information); Unified Patents, Inc. v. Realtime Adaptive Streaming, LLC, IPR2018-
`
`00883, Paper 31 (PTAB Oct. 17, 2018) (instituting IPR despite similar RPI
`
`arguments to those here and granting Motion to Seal information relating to
`
`Unified’s business strategy, financial, and membership information).
`
`For example, Unified’s Member Agreements and Subscription Forms detail
`
`contractual terms between Unified and its members. Many of these terms are
`
`irrelevant to this proceeding, and Patent Owner has cited only limited provisions of
`
`these documents. These terms are highly confidential and extremely sensitive trade
`
`secret information because they detail Unified’s core business and strategy.
`
`California law governs Unified’s membership agreements. Ex. 2005: UP-000014
`
`and UP-000031. Under California law, a trade secret includes “(a) information (b)
`
`which is valuable because unknown to others and (c) which the owner has attempted
`
`to keep secret.” ABBA Rubber Co. v. Seaquist, 286 Cal. Rptr. 518, 526 (Cal. Ct. App.
`
`1991). Unified closely guards the information in its Member Agreements and
`
`Subscription Forms as trade secrets to protect its members and business interests.
`
`Unified has not made, and does not intend to make, this information public.
`
`6
`
`

`

`IPR2018-00199
`Patent 7,092,671
`
`Unified is contractually obligated to maintain the confidentiality of this highly
`
`
`
`sensitive business information. See Ex. 2005: UP-000010 and UP-000027 (Member
`
`Agreements). Without assurance that this information is protected, Unified’s
`
`members that wish to remain confidential may be adversely affected, as public
`
`disclosure of membership and/or its terms could lead to retribution or other business
`
`harms from members’ competitors.
`
`Sensitive financial and commercial information in invoices and subscription
`
`fee schedules for Unified members (Ex. 2005: UP-000001; UP-000016; UP-000033;
`
`UP-000036; UP-000042 through UP-000043; UP-000048 through UP-000050; UP-
`
`000077) and identification of Unified members (Ex. 2005: UP-000002 through UP-
`
`000015; UP-000020 through UP-000032; UP-000044 through UP-000047) is also
`
`closely guarded proprietary information. This information is strategically sensitive
`
`information that is core to Unified’s business and public disclosure could
`
`significantly disadvantage Unified and/or its members.
`
`Second, Unified and its members would suffer several concrete harms from
`
`the public disclosure of the confidential information sought to be sealed. Because
`
`the Confidential Information details Unified’s proprietary and closely guarded
`
`business model and methods, sensitive financial information, and the identity of and
`
`dealings with Unified’s members (which is subject to the confidentiality provisions
`
`discussed above), public access to this information could give Unified’s competitors
`
`7
`
`

`

`IPR2018-00199
`Patent 7,092,671
`
`
`and would-be rivals unfair competitive advantages, including a roadmap of how to
`
`replicate Unified’s unique and valuable business model. Further, it would reveal
`
`confidential contractual business
`
`information,
`
`including sensitive financial
`
`information, between two parties. Public disclosure of this information could also
`
`undermine Unified’s business and competitiveness in the market and expose Unified
`
`members and their confidential information to potential harms and jeopardize
`
`agreements between Unified and its members.
`
`Third, to the extent Unified’s confidential information is relied upon in
`
`determining the RPI in the present proceeding, the role of confidential information
`
`in the trial does not require public disclosure. Indeed, the Board can rely on
`
`confidential information in its Final Written Decision and adequately disclose the
`
`bases for its decision to the public, while maintaining sensitive information under
`
`seal. The Board has routinely done so. See, e.g., Petrol. Geo-Services Inc. v.
`
`WesternGeco LLC, IPR2014-01477, Paper 71 at 62-68 (PTAB Jul. 11, 2016)
`
`(redacting confidential information and finding no privity between Petitioner and
`
`third party defendant in litigation); Weatherford Int’l v. Packers Plus Energy Servs.,
`
`Inc., IPR2016-01514, Paper 65 at 37-43 (PTAB Apr. 3, 2018) (redacting financial
`
`information); VSR Indus., Inc. v. Cole Kepro Int’l, LLC, IPR2015-00182, Paper 33
`
`at 46-47 (PTAB Apr. 28, 2016) (redacting financial information); Baker Hughes,
`
`Inc. v. Lubrizol Specialty Prods., Inc., IPR2016-00734, Paper 85 at 59-60 (PTAB
`
`8
`
`

`

`IPR2018-00199
`Patent 7,092,671
`
`
`Nov. 1, 2017); CaptionCall, L.L.C. v. Ultratec, Inc., IPR2015-01889, Paper 119 at
`
`78-92 (PTAB Apr. 11, 2017). Thus, even to the extent that the Board determines it
`
`needs to consider Unified’s confidential information in reaching its final decision,
`
`the balance would continue to overwhelmingly favor protecting and sealing
`
`Unified’s voluntarily produced, highly confidential, and commercially sensitive
`
`information.
`
`Fourth, the balance of interests favors sealing Unified’s confidential
`
`information. Patent Owner, not Unified, raised the RPI issue in this proceeding. In
`
`an effort to avoid unnecessary disputes and burden on the Board, Unified voluntarily
`
`provided its confidential information in response to Patent Owner’s RPI contention,
`
`and only after agreement between the parties that the Default Protective Order would
`
`govern its disclosure. Petitioner then produced the sensitive information under the
`
`terms of and in reliance on the Protective Order. Ex. 1019.
`
`The public interest is well-served in encouraging parties to voluntarily
`
`disclose information in IPR proceedings to resolve RPI disputes. Publicly disclosing
`
`such information, even when produced under the terms of a Protective Order, will
`
`significantly reduce the willingness of parties to voluntarily resolve disputes and
`
`may require pre-adjudication of confidentiality before disclosure. Unified requests,
`
`and will continue to endeavor, to seal or redact only closely guarded confidential
`
`information. The Board is able to decide the RPI issue and give notice to the public
`
`9
`
`

`

`IPR2018-00199
`Patent 7,092,671
`
`
`without disclosing the contents of the full documents and the most commercially
`
`sensitive information sought to be sealed. Accordingly, Petitioner’s interest in
`
`maintaining confidentiality of the information outweighs the strong public interest
`
`in making all information in the proceeding open to the public. Id.; see also Multi
`
`Packing Solutions, Inc. v. CPI Card Group – Minnesota, Inc., IPR2017-01650,
`
`Paper 25 at 4 (PTAB May 7, 2018).
`
`V.
`
`Petitioner Did Not Waive Confidentiality
`Patent Owner does not dispute that Exhibit 2005 is confidential. Instead,
`
`Patent Owner argues that no protective order has been filed in this matter and that
`
`because Petitioner sent its voluntarily produced documents to Patent Owner’s
`
`counsel of record and an attorney for Patent Owner, Petitioner waived confidentiality
`
`as to the public. Paper 13 at 4-5, n.5. Patent Owner is incorrect.
`
`The Board’s Default Protective Order governs this proceeding. The parties
`
`agreed to follow the Default Protective Order in correspondence and Patent Owner’s
`
`counsel signed the Acknowledgement of the Default Protective Order (Ex. 1017).
`
`Petitioner relied upon Patent Owner’s representations that it agreed to the Default
`
`Protective Order and the signed undertaking by Patent Owner’s counsel when it
`
`provided voluntary discovery to Patent Owner’s counsel, including attorneys at the
`
`law firm representing Patent Owner included on correspondence by counsel of
`
`record. See Ex. 1017 (including “[e]mployees, consultants, or other persons
`
`10
`
`

`

`IPR2018-00199
`Patent 7,092,671
`
`
`performing work for a party” as persons entitled to access confidential information).
`
`Petitioner produced its voluntary discovery to Patent Owner’s counsel of record and
`
`Mr. Richins, an attorney for Patent Owner, after Patent Owner’s counsel, Mr.
`
`Mangrum, included those individuals in email communications between the parties
`
`directed to negotiating the terms of discovery and reaching agreement that the
`
`Default Protective Order would govern. Patent Owner attempts to cast doubt on the
`
`validity of the governing Default Protective Order to which the parties agreed by
`
`arguing that the Protective Order was not “filed.” This argument is unavailing.
`
`Patent Owner, not Petitioner, filed Petitioner’s confidential information in this
`
`proceeding without filing the Protective Order or a motion to seal. Regardless,
`
`Patent Owner’s counsel “acknowledged” the Protective Order and states he abided
`
`by its terms. Paper 13 at 4, n.5. The Board has in the past rejected similar attempts
`
`to avoid obligations under an agreed-to Protective Order. See RPX Corp. v.
`
`Applications in Internet Time, LLC, IPR2015-01750, Paper 58 at 3 (PTAB May 6,
`
`2016) (noting that “the parties were operating with the understanding that the
`
`Standard Default Protective Order. . . applied to these proceedings,” as evidenced
`
`by Patent Owner’s counsel-of-record returning a signed Acknowledgement). It
`
`should do so here as well.
`
`The correspondence between the respective counsel of Petitioner and Patent
`
`Owner makes it clear that Petitioner maintained confidentiality. See Ex. 1019 at 1,
`
`11
`
`

`

`IPR2018-00199
`Patent 7,092,671
`
`
`2. Petitioner, in reliance on the agreed-to Default Protective Order, confidentially
`
`provided Unified’s documents to Patent Owner’s counsel. Id. The email and share
`
`site access sent by Petitioner’s counsel clearly indicated that the provided documents
`
`“have been designated as Protective Order Material under the protective order and
`
`should be treated accordingly.” Id. Patent Owner’s counsel was therefore on notice
`
`as to the confidential nature of the documents and that the documents were produced
`
`under the Protective Order. Petitioner did not waive confidentiality.
`
`Petitioner took reasonable steps to protect its confidential information;
`
`however, to the extent that the Board entertains Patent Owner’s waiver argument,
`
`any disclosure of confidential material to unauthorized persons was inadvertent.
`
`Inadvertent disclosure of confidential information does not constitute waiver when
`
`the holder of such information promptly takes reasonable steps to correct the
`
`inadvertent disclosure. See In Re: Optuminsight, Inc., 2017 WL 3096300 at *3 (Fed.
`
`Cir. 2017) (noting that the Federal Rules of Evidence govern waiver, providing that
`
`“[i]nadvertent disclosures do not operate as a waiver so long as the ‘holder of the
`
`privilege or protection took reasonable steps to prevent disclosure; and . . . promptly
`
`took reasonable steps to rectify the error.’”) (citing Fed. R. Evid. 502(b)); GEA
`
`Process Eng’g, Inc. v. Steuben Foods, Inc., IPR2014-00041, Paper 134 at 5, n.2
`
`(Petitioner’s inadvertent public filing of a paper that included Petitioner’s
`
`confidential information “does not affect our analysis of Petitioner’s motion(s) to
`
`12
`
`

`

`IPR2018-00199
`Patent 7,092,671
`
`
`seal”); see also Trial Practice Guide, 77 Fed. Reg. 48,772 (discussing waiver of
`
`privilege in the context of inadvertent production) (citing Fed. R. Evid. 502(b)).
`
`Indeed, the USPTO’s practice rules contemplate that a document or information may
`
`be inadvertently disclosed and provide guidance to practitioners when such
`
`inadvertent disclosure occurs. See USPTO Rules of Practice in Patent Cases §
`
`11.404 (a “practitioner who receives a document or electronically stored information
`
`relating to the representation of the practitioner’s client and knows or reasonably
`
`should know that the document or electronically stored information was
`
`inadvertently sent shall promptly notify the sender”); see also ABA Model Rules of
`
`Prof. Conduct R. 4.4, cmt [2] (“A document or electronically stored information is
`
`inadvertently sent when it is accidentally transmitted…, such as when an email or
`
`letter is misaddressed or a document or electronically stored information is
`
`accidentally included with information that was intentionally transmitted. If a
`
`lawyer knows or reasonably should know that such a document…was sent
`
`inadvertently, then this Rule requires the lawyer to promptly notify the sender in
`
`order to permit that person to take protective measures.”). Patent Owner’s
`
`suggestion that inadvertent disclosure constitutes complete waiver without
`
`exception is inconsistent with governing rules and practice and should be rejected.
`
`The facts here make clear that any disclosure was inadvertent. On September
`
`11, 2018, Petitioner’s counsel provided Unified’s confidential documents under the
`
`13
`
`

`

`IPR2018-00199
`Patent 7,092,671
`
`
`agreed Protective Order with a “confidential” designation. The email including the
`
`share site link containing the produced documents was sent by Petitioner’s counsel
`
`only to Patent Owner’s counsel of record and attorney involved in discovery in this
`
`proceeding, was marked as “Protective Order Material”, and conveyed that access
`
`should only be given to those that subscribed to the terms of the Protective Order.
`
`Ex. 1019.
`
`Patent Owner has no credible argument that Petitioner intended to waive
`
`confidentiality. In such circumstance, it was incumbent on Patent Owner’s counsel
`
`to identify any purported inadvertent disclosure to allow Petitioner to take protective
`
`measures. See USPTO Rules of Practice in Patent Cases § 11.404. Instead, Patent
`
`Owner has sought strategic advantage by not informing Petitioner about its position
`
`prior to filing its Patent Owner’s Response and then seeking a draconian remedy of
`
`complete waiver and public disclosure. When Petitioner became aware of Patent
`
`Owner’s position on September 25, 2018, upon reading the Patent Owner Response,
`
`it sent on the same day an automatic recall message to all recipients of the email,
`
`withdrew access to the share site containing the produced documents, and further
`
`requested that unauthorized individuals take appropriate action to dispose of any
`
`confidential material. Ex. 1018. Petitioner’s immediate remedial steps to address
`
`any inadvertent disclosure of its confidential information were sufficient to avoid
`
`waiver. Id. Patent Owner’s arguments to the contrary should be rejected.

`

`
`
`VI. Certification of Non-Publication
`The undersigned counsel for Petitioner certifies the information sought to
`
`IPR2018-00199
`Patent 7,092,671
`
`
`be sealed by this Motion has not been published or otherwise made public.
`
`VII. Protective Order
`Petitioner files herewith (Ex. 1017) a copy of the Default Protective Order
`
`with a Standard Acknowledgement signed by Patent Owner’s counsel. Unified’s
`
`confidential information was produced under the Protective Order.
`
`VIII. Request for Conference Call with the Board
`Should the Board be inclined to deny this Opposed Motion to Seal,
`
`Petitioner hereby requests a conference call with the Board to discuss any concerns
`
`prior to the Board issuing a decision on the Motion.
