`Case IPR2018-01384
`Patent 8,934,535
`
`
`
`JOINT REQUEST TO KEEP SEPARATE PURSUANT TO 35 U.S.C.
`§ 317(b) AND 37 C.F.R. § 42.74(c)
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Patent Owner Realtime Adaptive Streaming LLC and Petitioner Cisco Systems,
`
`Inc. have reached a settlement. The settlement agreement resolves the disputes in
`
`the above-captioned inter partes review relating to U.S. Patent No. 8,934,535
`
`(“’535 Patent”). The parties jointly request that the Board treat the settlement
`
`agreement as business confidential information and keep it separate from the files
`
`of this proceeding and the files of the ’535 Patent. The parties were authorized to
`
`file this Joint Motion by the Board (via email) on October 5, 2018.
`
`I.
`
`Statement of Precise Relief Requested
`
`The parties jointly request that the Board treat the settlement agreement as
`
`business confidential information and keep it separate from the files of this
`
`proceeding and the files of the ’535 Patent. The parties request that the settlement
`
`agreement “be made available only to Federal Government agencies on written
`
`request, or to any person on a showing of good cause” in accordance with 35
`
`U.S.C. § 317(b) and 37 C.F.R. § 42.74.
`
`II. Reasons Why Relief Is Appropriate
`
`The terms of the settlement agreement require the parties to treat the
`
`settlement agreement as confidential information and limit the parties’ ability to
`
`share the settlement agreement or disclose its contents with third parties. The
`
`parties have filed a copy of the settlement agreement with the Board, as required
`
`by 35 U.S.C. § 317(b) and 37 C.F.R. § 42.74. The confidential settlement
`
`
`
`2
`
`
`
`agreement was filed in the PTAB E2E system to provide availability only to the
`
`parties and the Board.
