`
`
`BEFORE THE PATENT TRIAL AND APPEAL BOARD
`
`
`MYLAN INSTITUTIONAL LLC and PFIZER INC.,
`Petitioners,
`
`v.
`
`NOVO NORDISK A/S,
`
`Patent Owner.
`
`Case No. IPR2020-003241
`
`U.S. Patent No. 8,114,833
`
`PETITIONERS’ MOTION TO SEAL
`
`
`
`
`
`1
`IPR2020-01252 has been joined with this proceeding.
`
`
`
`
`
`On September 18, 2020, Patent Owner filed its Patent Owner Response
`
`(Paper No. 20) accompanied by a motion to seal (Paper No. 22), explaining that the
`
`Patent Owner Response and certain Exhibits disclosed confidential information.
`
`The motion to seal explained Patent Owner’s position as to why good cause exists
`
`to seal certain Exhibits and portions of the Patent Owner Response.
`
`Petitioners have filed concurrently with this motion a sealed version of
`
`Petitioners’ Motion to Exclude Evidence (“Motion”) as this Motion discusses
`
`material designated as “CONFIDENTIAL - PROTECTIVE ORDER MATERIAL”
`
`by Patent Owner. Petitioners submit that good cause exists for placing the Motion
`
`under seal because Patent Owner has contended this information should be sealed
`
`according to the reasons set forth in Paper No. 22. Petitioners take no position as to
`
`the whether the underlying information satisfies the Board’s requirements for filing
`
`under seal, as it is Patent Owner that has asserted the confidentiality of these
`
`exhibits.
`
`For the above reasons, Petitioners request that the Motion be placed and
`
`maintained under seal. Petitioners will file redacted versions of the Motion shortly
`
`hereafter after conferring with Patent Owner. For the foregoing reasons, Petitioners
`
`respectfully request that the Board grant this motion to seal and for entry of a
`
`protective order.
