`Case IPR2020-01267
`U.S. Patent No. 10,028,026
`
`I.
`
`INTRODUCTION
`Patent Owner Broadband iTV, Inc. (“Patent Owner”), requests that the
`
`confidential version of the Patent Owner’s Response (“POR,” Paper 35) and the
`
`confidential versions of accompanying Exhibits 2035-2038, 2047, 2050-2061,
`
`2063-2068, 2070, 2073-2102, 2104-2109, 2117-2127, 2129-2151, 2154-2166,
`
`2177-2179, and 2181-2185 (collectively the “Confidential Documents”) be sealed
`
`under 37 C.F.R. §§ 42.14 and 42.54. Good cause to seal the Confidential
`
`Documents exists because information in the Confidential Documents is sensitive,
`
`non-public information that a business would not make public. Patent Owner
`
`therefore submits this Motion to Seal and requests entry of a protective order in the
`
`form appended hereto as Appendix A.
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.54(a), Patent Owner’s counsel conferred in good
`
`faith with Petitioner’s counsel in an attempt to resolve any dispute about this
`
`Motion. Counsel for Petitioner indicated:
`
`We are not generally opposed to filings under seal and use of the
`default protective order in appropriate circumstances. But, given that
`we do not know what type of information you contend is confidential,
`we are not in a position to determine whether or not we oppose at this
`time.
`
`EX2186.

`

`Case IPR2020-01267
`U.S. Patent No. 10,028,026
`II. GOVERNING RULES AND PTAB GUIDANCE
`In determining whether to grant a Motion to Seal, the Board must find “good
`
`cause,” 37 C.F.R. § 42.54(a), and “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,” Consolidated Trial Practice Guide,
`
`November 2019 (“TPG”), 19. The Board identifies confidential information in a
`
`manner “consistent with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(c)(1)(G), which
`
`provides for protective orders for … confidential research, development, or
`
`commercial information.” TPG, 19.
`
`Based on the procedure provided in the TPG, Patent Owner seeks to prevent
`
`the disclosure of sensitive business and confidential technical information
`
`contained in the aforementioned Confidential Documents.
`
`In previous inter partes review (IPR) proceedings, the Board has provided
`
`different remedies to maintain the confidentiality of sensitive information. For
`
`example, the Board in Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. v. NVIDIA Corp. granted a
`
`patent owner’s Motion to Seal documents that contain highly confidential technical
`
`information, including source code and design documents, relating to the patent
`
`owner’s core business. IPR2015-01070, Paper 33 at 3 (P.T.A.B. Mar. 24, 2016).
`
`There, the patent owner argued, “[p]ublic disclosure of this information would
`
`significantly harm NVIDIA’s competitive position because it would allow
`
`- 2 -
`
`

`

`Case IPR2020-01267
`U.S. Patent No. 10,028,026
`competitors to access sensitive technical information.” Id., Paper 6 at 1 (P.T.A.B.
`
`July 27, 2015). Similarly in this proceeding, public disclosure of Patent Owner’s
`
`emails and technical documents would significantly disadvantage Patent Owner’s
`
`competitive position because competitors would have access to sensitive technical
`
`information about Patent Owner’s commercial products.
`
`Furthermore, the Board in Riverbed Technology, Inc. v. Silver Peak Systems,
`
`Inc., granted a motion to seal during the duration of the IPR proceedings. IPR2014-
`
`00245, Paper 36 at 4-5 (P.T.A.B. Nov. 19, 2014). There, the patent owner sought
`
`to file source code under seal to antedate a reference cited by the petitioner. The
`
`patent owner indicated that if the source code were to become public, it would
`
`create a risk of “copying and other competitive harms.” Id., Paper 27 at 3.
`
`Accordingly, the Board conditionally granted the motion to seal for the duration of
`
`the proceeding, stating:
`
`Considering the stated importance and sensitivity of Exhibit 2015 to
`Patent Owner, rather than denying the Motion to Seal, which would
`make Exhibit 2015 immediately publicly accessible, the Board
`conditionally grants the motion for the duration of this proceeding. If
`the Board’s final decision substantively relies on any information in
`Exhibit 2015, then Exhibit 2015 will be unsealed (in whole or in part)
`by an Order of the Board. However, if the Board does not rely on any
`information in Exhibit 2015, then Exhibit 2015 will be expunged from
`the record by an Order of the Board.
`
`
`

`
`

`

`Case IPR2020-01267
`U.S. Patent No. 10,028,026
`Id., Paper 36 at 4-5. Similarly, in this case, Patent Owner is attempting to antedate
`
`a reference using confidential emails and technical documents. The emails and
`
`technical documents include confidential information of Patent Owner’s
`
`commercial products. If these emails and technical documents were to become
`
`public, competitors could copy their commercial products and internal processes,
`
`resulting in competitive harm.
`
`In another case, the Board provided the parties an opportunity after a Final
`
`Written Decision to determine the scope of final redactions to the public. In
`
`Caterpillar Inc. v. Wirtgen America, Inc., the Board initially issued a Final Written
`
`Decision under seal and provided the parties an opportunity to identify redactions
`
`for the public version of the record. IPR2017-02185, Paper 42 (P.T.A.B. May 3,
`
`2019). The Board then issued the Final Written Decision and exhibits with
`
`narrowly-tailored redactions. Id., Paper 51. The Board could use a similar approach
`
`here. 37 C.F.R. § 42.5.
`
`III.
`
`IDENTIFICATION OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION AND
`CERTIFICATION THAT THE CONFIDENTIAL DOCUMENTS
`SOUGHT TO BE PROTECTED HAVE NOT BEEN MADE
`PUBLICALLY AVAILABLE
`Patent Owner has submitted with its Patent Owner Response certain
`
`documents that it requests be kept confidential and maintained under seal: a
`
`confidential version of the Patent Owner’s Response (Paper 35) and Exhibits 2035-
`
`2038, 2047, 2050-2061, 2063-2068, 2070, 2073-2102, 2104-2109, 2117-2127,
`
`
`
`- 4 -
`
`

`

`Case IPR2020-01267
`U.S. Patent No. 10,028,026
`2129-2151, 2154-2166, 2177-2179, and 2181-2185. There are five groups of
`
`documents: (1) inventor emails; (2) internal technical documents; (3) draft patent
`
`applications; (4) the Patent Owner Response; and (5) declarations supporting the
`
`Patent Owner Response. As explained below, good cause exists to maintain these
`
`documents under seal and in accordance with the Protective Order. See
`
`Appendix A.
`
`Patent Owner certifies that, to the best of its knowledge, none of the
`
`Confidential Documents described above have been published or otherwise made
`
`public.
`
`IV. GOOD CAUSE EXISTS FOR SEALING THE CONFIDENTIAL
`INFORMATION.
`The Board routinely seals confidential emails and technical documents. See,
`
`e.g., Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., IPR2015-01070, Paper 33; Riverbed
`
`Technology, Inc., IPR2014-00245, Paper 26; Caterpillar Inc., IPR2017-02185,
`
`Paper 42. Here, the confidential versions of the POR and Exhibits 2035-2038,
`
`2047, 2050-2061, 2063-2068, 2070, 2073-2102, 2104-2109, 2117-2127, 2129-
`
`2151, 2154-2166, 2177-2179, and 2181-2185 contain this same type of
`
`information, namely confidential emails, including emails between the company
`
`and its attorney or record, and technical documents. For example, the Confidential
`
`Documents contain internal emails between company employees including
`
`personally identifiable information, and documents describing how BBiTV’s
`
`
`
`- 5 -
`
`

`

`Case IPR2020-01267
`U.S. Patent No. 10,028,026
`products were created, as well as communications between the company and its
`
`attorney of record. Good cause exists to seal and keep this information confidential
`
`because it includes details which would be valuable to Patent Owner’s competitors
`
`and harmful to Patent Owner and possibly third parties if made public.
`
`Accordingly, as in Samsung, Riverbed, and Caterpillar, the Board should seal and
`
`keep this information confidential.
`
`Public disclosure of the Confidential Documents would significantly harm
`
`Patent Owner’s competitive and strategic position in the marketplace. And the
`
`public interest will not be harmed by granting this Motion to Seal the documents as
`
`“PROTECTIVE ORDER MATERIAL,” because the privacy and confidentiality
`
`interests outweigh any public interest in the content of the emails and documents.
`
`In short, granting this Motion to Seal would achieve “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. at 48,760.
`
`Therefore, good cause exists for granting this motion to seal.
`
`Inventor Emails
`A.
`Exhibits 2047, 2056-2060, 2064-2065, 2068, 2073-2092, 2094-2102, 2104-
`
`2109, 2117-2119, 2121-2122, 2130-2131, 2136, 2138-2141, 2143-2149, 2155-
`
`2156, 2159-2163, 2166, 2179, and 2181-2184 are company emails that describe the
`
`design of BBiTV systems, internal company communications involving other
`
`
`
`- 6 -
`
`

`

`Case IPR2020-01267
`U.S. Patent No. 10,028,026
`employees and personally identifiable information, as well as communications
`
`with its attorney of record. Each of these exhibits contains highly sensitive and
`
`proprietary technical information about Patent Owner’s product development as it
`
`relates to design, implementation, and testing. Patent Owner does not intend to file
`
`redacted versions of Exhibits 2047, 2056-2060, 2064-2065, 2068, 2073-2092,
`
`2094-2102, 2104-2109, 2117-2119, 2121-2122, 2130-2131, 2136, 2138-2141,
`
`2143-2149, 2155-2156, 2159-2163, 2166, 2179, and 2181-2184 because all
`
`relevant information is highly sensitive confidential business information.
`
`Technical Documents
`B.
`Exhibits 2050-2055, 2063, 2070, 2093, 2123-2127, 2129, 2132-2135, 2137,
`
`2142, 2150-2151, 2154, 2157-2158, 2164-2165, and 2178 are technical documents
`
`describing the design and implementation of Patent Owner’s products. Each of
`
`these exhibits contains highly sensitive and proprietary technical information about
`
`Patent Owner’s product development as it relates to design, implementation, and
`
`testing. Patent Owner does not intend to file redacted versions of Exhibits 2050-
`
`2055, 2063, 2070, 2093, 2123-2127, 2129, 2132-2135, 2137, 2142, 2150-2151,
`
`2154, 2157-2158, 2164-2165, and 2178 because all relevant information is highly
`
`sensitive confidential business information.

`

`Case IPR2020-01267
`U.S. Patent No. 10,028,026
`
`C. Draft Patent Applications
`Exhibits 2061, 2066-2067, 2120, 2177, and 2185 contain material for Patent
`
`Owner’s draft patent applications. These documents include confidential material
`
`and appear to have been prepared with the assistance of counsel. Patent Owner
`
`does not intend to file redacted versions of Exhibits 2061, 2066-2067, 2120, 2177,
`
`and 2185 because all relevant information is highly sensitive confidential business
`
`information.
`
`Patent Owner’s Response
`D.
`Some portions of the Patent Owner’s Response (Paper 35) are not
`
`confidential. But portions of the Patent Owner’s Response describe confidential
`
`material identified above. For example, Sections 1.A and 1.B include and describe
`
`material from confidential technical documents and email communications. These
`
`portions contain highly sensitive and proprietary technical information and
`
`business information about the design, development, management,
`
`implementation, and testing of Patent Owner’s products.
`
`Patent Owner has filed a redacted version of the Patent Owner’s Response
`
`(Paper 36) to protect the confidential information.
`
`E. Declarations Supporting Patent Owner’s Response
`Exhibit 2035 is the declaration of Michael Shamos. Among other things,
`
`Shamos’s declaration talks about the invention date of the claimed subject matter.
`
`Shamos’s declaration also describes in detail and refers to confidential documents
`
`
`
`- 8 -
`
`

`

`Case IPR2020-01267
`U.S. Patent No. 10,028,026
`related to conception of the claimed subject matter, diligence to a reduction to
`
`practice, and an actual reduction to practice. As with the confidential exhibits
`
`described above, Shamos’s declaration contains highly sensitive and proprietary
`
`technical and business information about Patent Owner’s product development.
`
`But not all of Shamos’s declaration contains confidential information, so Patent
`
`Owner has filed a redacted version to protect the confidential information.
`
`Exhibit 2036 is the declaration of Milton Diaz. Diaz is CTO of BBiTV and
`
`is one of the inventors of the claimed subject matter. Diaz’s declaration describes
`
`in detail and refers to confidential documents related to conception of the claimed
`
`subject matter, diligence to a reduction to practice, and an actual reduction to
`
`practice. As with the confidential exhibits described above, Diaz’s declaration
`
`contains highly sensitive and proprietary business information about Patent
`
`Owner’s product development, as well as personally identifiable information. But
`
`not all of Diaz’s declaration contains confidential information, so Patent Owner
`
`has filed a redacted version to protect the confidential information.
`
`Exhibit 2037 is the declaration of Leighton Chong. Chong was the patent
`
`attorney for BBiTV during the relevant time frame. Chong’s declaration describes
`
`confidential documents related to conception of the claimed subject matter,
`
`diligence to a reduction to practice, and an actual reduction to practice. As with the
`
`confidential exhibits described above, Chong’s declaration contains highly
`
`
`
`- 9 -
`
`

`

`Case IPR2020-01267
`U.S. Patent No. 10,028,026
`sensitive and proprietary business information about Patent Owner’s product
`
`development, as well as personally identifiable information. But not all of Chong’s
`
`declaration contains confidential information, so Patent Owner has filed a redacted
`
`version to protect the confidential information.
`
`Exhibit 2038 is the declaration of Clifton Kagawa. Kagawa is the CEO of
`
`BBiTV. Kagawa’s declaration describes confidential documents related to
`
`conception of the claimed subject matter, diligence to a reduction to practice, and
`
`an actual reduction to practice. As with the confidential exhibits described above,
`
`Kagawa’s declaration contains highly sensitive and proprietary business
`
`information about Patent Owner’s product development, as well as personally
`
`idenitifiable information. But not all of Kagawa’s declaration contains confidential
`
`information, so Patent Owner has filed a redacted version to protect the
`
`confidential information.
`
`V.
`
`PROPOSED PROTECTIVE ORDER
`Patent Owner requests entry of the Protective Order attached to this motion
`
`as Appendix A. Patent Owner has conferred with Petitioner about using the
`
`PTAB’s Default Protective Order, and Petitioner is not generally opposed to using
`
`the Default Protective Order. See EX2186.
