`
`Transcript of November 4, 2019 Hearing
`
`v
`
`
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.23, Patent Owner hereby presents its response to
`
`Case IPR2018-01257
`Patent No. 8,552,978
`
`
`
`Petitioner Google, LLC’s Motion to Seal (Paper 79) regarding Patent Owner
`
`Exhibits 2049-2056 (the “ZTE Exhibits”) submitted with Patent Owner’s
`
`Supplemental Submission (Paper 77).
`
`In an inter partes review, the moving party bears the burden of showing that
`
`the relief requested should be granted. 37 C.F.R. § 42.20(c). A party moving to seal
`
`must show “good cause” for the relief requested. 37 C.F.R. § 42.54(a).
`
`The “good cause” standard for granting a motion to seal reflects the strong
`
`public policy for making all information in an inter partes review open to the public.
`
`37 C.F.R. § 42.54; see Argentum Pharms. LLC v. Alcon Research, Ltd., Case
`
`IPR2017-01053 (PTAB Jan. 19, 2018), Paper 27 at 3-4. In an inter partes review,
`
`“the default rule is that all papers . . . are open and available for access by the public.”
`
`Garmin Int’l v. Cuozzo Speed Techs., LLC, Case IPR2012-00001 (PTAB Mar. 14,
`
`2013), Paper 34 at 2. Thus, to demonstrate “good cause,” the moving party must
`
`demonstrate that:
`
`(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, IPR2017-01053, Paper 27 at 3-4; see also Corning Optical
`
`Communications RF, LLC, v. PPC Broadband, Inc., Case IPR2014-00440 (PTAB
`
`
`
`1
`
`
`
`
`April 6, 14, 17, 2015), Paper 46 at 2 (requiring a demonstration that information is
`
`Case IPR2018-01257
`Patent No. 8,552,978
`
`not “excessively redacted”).
`
`The ZTE Exhibits consist exclusively of documents produced by ZTE (USA),
`
`Inc. in ZTE (USA), Inc. v. CyWee Group, Ltd., IPR2019-00143 (the “ZTE IPR”).
`
`Pursuant to the Protective Order entered in the ZTE IPR, the ZTE Exhibits are
`
`designated Highly Confidential Protective Order Material because ZTE believes the
`
`documents contain valuable and sensitive commercial information that is not
`
`available to the public. Google, LLC, the Petitioner in this IPR, likewise believes
`
`that the documents contain valuable and sensitive non-public commercial
`
`information and requests that they not be made available to the public. A Protective
`
`Order that is essentially identical to that entered in the ZTE IPR has been entered in
`
`this IPR. See Paper 68.
`
`Petitioner’s Motion seeks to seal the identified documents in their entirety,
`
`stating that “the redacted information consists of confidential, internal, and sensitive
`
`business information. Good cause exists to seal and keep this information
`
`confidential because the extent of the redaction is limited and because the
`
`information would be valuable to competitors and harmful to Google if made
`
`public.” Paper 75 at 4. This is a conclusory assertion, and Petitioner provides no
`
`explanation as to what specific details are highly sensitive and confidential. Google
`
`thus provided no information supporting that the standard for sealing the requested
`
`
`
`2
`
`
`
`
`documents set forth in Argentum has been met. Argentum, IPR2017-01053, Paper
`
`Case IPR2018-01257
`Patent No. 8,552,978
`
`27 at 3–4. Although Patent Owner has no objection to the treatment of the substance
`
`of the documents as Highly Confidential Protective Order Material for purposes of
`
`the filing of Patent Owner’s Supplemental Submission, Petitioner has requested, also
`
`without explanation, that even title and date of the documents be considered Highly
`
`Confidential and kept from disclosure to the public. The title and date of the
`
`agreements disclose nothing more than the fact that Google and ZTE have business
`
`relationships, which appears to be a matter of public knowledge. See, e.g.,
`
`https://www.cnet.com/news/zte-may-lose-android-licensing-from-google-report-
`
`says/.
`
`Patent Owner objects to the continued treatment of document titles and dates
`
`as Highly Confidential. Patent Owner does not believe that mere titles and dates can
`
`be properly considered confidential and that the titles and dates should appear in the
`
`E2E system and be available for citation in any non-confidential versions of papers
`
`filed by the parties, or decisions of the Board, or a court in which the substance of
`
`the documents has been redacted.
