`
`PETITIONER’S MOTION TO SEAL
`
`
`
`
`Case IPR2018-00883
`U.S. Patent 8,934,535
`
`I.
`
`Introduction
`Petitioner requests that Petitioner’s Response to Patent Owner’s Supplemental
`
`Brief on Real Parties in Interest, and Exhibit 1018, filed herewith, be sealed under
`
`37 C.F.R. § 42.54 and the Modified Default Standing Protective Order (Paper 19).
`
`Good cause to seal these documents exists because they contain sensitive, non-public
`
`information.
`
`II. Good Cause Exists for Sealing Certain Confidential Information
`The Office Patent Trial Practice Guide provides that “the rules aim to strike a
`
`balance between the public’s interest in maintaining a complete and understandable
`
`file history and the parties’ interest in protecting truly sensitive information.” 77
`
`FED. REG. 48756, 48760 (Aug. 14, 2012). Further, those rules “identify 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.” Id. (citing 37
`
`C.F.R. § 42.54).
`
`Petitioner’s Response to Patent Owner’s Supplemental Brief on Real Parties
`
`in Interest and Exhibit 1018 contain information that Petitioner has identified as
`
`confidential business information.
`
`Petitioner’s Response to Patent Owner’s Supplemental Brief on Real
`
`Parties in Interest references and describes the content of certain confidential
`
`1
`
`
`
`Case IPR2018-00883
`U.S. Patent 8,934,535
`materials, that Petitioner requests by the present motion to file under seal and has
`
`been marked “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” under
`
`the Protective Order in this case. A public version of Petitioner’s Response to Patent
`
`Owner’s Supplemental Brief on Real Parties in Interest, from which the confidential
`
`information has been redacted, will also been filed in this proceeding.
`
`Exhibit 1018 is a Declaration of Kevin Jakel and has been marked “HIGHLY
`
`CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” under the Protective Order in
`
`this case. This declaration includes sensitive business information which Petitioner
`
`asserts has not been published or otherwise been made public.
`
`III. Conclusion
`For the above reasons, Petitioner requests that Exhibit 1018, be placed under
`
`seal, as well as the unredacted and complete version of Petitioner’s Response to
`
`Patent Owner’s Supplemental Brief on Real Parties in Interest.
