`
`PETITIONER APPLE INC.’S MOTION TO SEAL
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`STATEMENT OF PRECISE RELIEF REQUESTED
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. §§ 42.14 and 42.54, Petitioner Apple Inc. (“Apple”)
`
`IPR2019-00613
`U.S. Patent No. 9,633,373
`
`
`I.
`
`respectfully submits this Motion to Seal (“Motion”) the Declaration of Michael
`
`Hulse (Ex. 1004) and the Declaration of Yosh Moriarty (Ex. 1031) (collectively,
`
`“the Declarations”), filed January 23, 2019 in publicly-available versions (redacted)
`
`and versions under seal (not-redacted; for Board viewing only). The Parties have
`
`agreed to the provisions of the Standing Protective Order, attached as Appendix A,
`
`which is a modified version of the Default Protective Order. Good cause exists for
`
`sealing the identified documents in accordance with the Standing Protective Order
`
`and standards governing sealing.
`
`II. GOOD CAUSE EXISTS FOR SEALING CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL
`INFORMATION
`
`Although “the default rule is that all papers filed in an inter partes review are
`
`open and available for access by the public,” a party may file a motion with the
`
`Board to seal confidential information that is protected from disclosure. Garmin v.
`
`Cuozzo, IPR2012-00001, Paper No. 36. “The standard for granting a motion to seal
`
`is ‘for good cause.’” Id. (quoting 37 C.F.R § 42.54). The Office Patent Trial Practice
`
`Guide, 77 Fed. Reg. 48756, 48760 (Aug. 14, 2012), states that the “rules identify
`
`confidential information in a manner consistent with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure
`
`1
`
`
`
`IPR2019-00613
`U.S. Patent No. 9,633,373
`
`(‘FRCP’) 26(c)(1)(G), which provides for protective orders for trade secret or other
`
`confidential research, development, or commercial information.”
`
`The Declarations include confidential and commercially sensitive business
`
`information. In particular, the Declarations include confidential information
`
`regarding at least (1) Apple’s internal systems for managing and tracking documents
`
`and information, including an identification of those systems and/or their histories
`
`of use within Apple, (2) Apple’s internal document naming conventions, (3) Apple’s
`
`internal workflow for publishing documents, and (4) internal metadata and/or
`
`properties assigned to Apple documents. This information originated from Apple’s
`
`internal systems (as shown and described in the Declarations), is not publicly
`
`available, and has been and continues to be intended to remain confidential.
`
`Apple faces concrete harm if its confidential information is released to the
`
`public. As described above, the confidential information includes details about how
`
`Apple operates, providing specific insight into Apple’s operations with respect to
`
`internal systems, documentation, and information. If this information were subject
`
`to public access, Apple’s processes would be subject to copying by competitors. In
`
`addition, the public identification of Apple’s internal systems would create security
`
`risks. For example, public disclosure of the confidential information would allow
`
`would-be attackers to gain insight into the structure of Apple’s internal file systems,
`
`2
`
`
`
`IPR2019-00613
`U.S. Patent No. 9,633,373
`
`databases, and servers, thereby putting at risk additional confidential information
`
`including, e.g., Apple’s technical, financial, and customer information.
`
`There exists a genuine need to rely on the Declarations in this proceeding. The
`
`Petition cites to the Declarations to support the date of public availability of iPhone
`
`User Guide For iPhone OS 3.1 Software (Ex. 1007) and iPhone 3G Finger Tips (Ex.
`
`1032), which are used in grounds of unpatentability.
`
`On balance, the harm faced by Apple in making the redacted information
`
`available outweighs any interest in releasing it to the public. The Declarations have
`
`not been excessively redacted, and the non-redacted (i.e., public) portions of the
`
`Declarations include detailed information about the identity and employment of the
`
`declarant, non-confidential details about the contents and history of Exhibits 1007
`
`and 1032, and identification of the dates of public availability of Exhibits 1007 and
`
`1032. Thus, any public interest in having access to the redacted portions is minimal,
`
`and does not outweigh the harm faced by Apple.
`
`Accordingly, good cause exists for sealing portions of the Declarations. Apple
`
`respectfully moves to file under seal the portions of the Declaration of Michael Hulse
`
`(Ex. 1004) and the Declaration of Yosh Moriarty (Ex. 1031) containing Apple’s
`
`confidential information.
`
`3
`
`
`
`III. PROTECTIVE ORDER
`
`IPR2019-00613
`U.S. Patent No. 9,633,373
`
`
`Apple respectfully requests that the Board enter the Standing Protective Order
`
`attached as Appendix A to protect the sensitive and confidential information
`
`contained in Exhibits 1004 and 1031. The Parties agree to adopt and be bound by a
`
`modified version of the Default Protective Order (77 FED. REG. 48756, 48771
`
`(Aug. 14, 2012)). In comparison to the Default Protective Order, the Standing
`
`Protective Order in Appendix A contains an additional designation “PROTECTIVE
`
`ORDER MATERIAL – OUTSIDE ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” for confidential
`
`material and restricts the material to Outside Counsel, Experts, Office Staff and
`
`Support Personnel. In addition, the Standing Protective Order provides that Support
`
`Personnel shall also include support personnel of outside counsel of record for a
`
`party in the proceeding. See Appendix B (redline version showing changes to the
`
`Default Protective Order).
`
`Good cause exists for these restrictions as the Board has recognized a
`
`necessity for similar designations on confidential material in other IPR proceedings.
`
`See Xactware v. Sols., Inc. v. Eagle View Techs., Inc., Case IPR2016-00589, slip op.
`
`at 2-3 (PTAB Nov. 23, 2016) (Paper 33); VIZIO, Inc. v. Nichia Corp., IPR2017-
`
`01623, slip op. at 5 (PTAB Jan. 9, 2019) (Paper 73). Here, the more limited access
`
`provided by
`
`the “PROTECTIVE ORDER MATERIAL – OUTSIDE
`
`4
`
`
`
`IPR2019-00613
`U.S. Patent No. 9,633,373
`
`ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” designation is necessary to minimize security risks
`
`and protect Apple’s confidential information from competitors.
