`
`
`PATENT OWNERS’ THIRD MOTION TO SEAL AND MOTION FOR A
`MODIFIED DEFAULT PROTECTIVE ORDER
`
`
`
`
`
`

`

`
`
`U.S. Patent No. 9,220,631
`Patent Owners Novartis Pharma AG, Novartis Technology LLC, and
`
`
`
`Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation (collectively, “Novartis”) respectfully
`
`request that the Board seal portions of the Patent Owners’ Response (“POR”),
`
`portions of Novartis’s Motion to Amend (“MTA”), and Exhibits 2099–2115,
`
`2119–2121, 2123–2124, 2126, 2128–2134, 2136–2148, 2150, 2155–2159, 2166–
`
`2172, 2194, 2201, 2203–2206, 2208, 2224, and 2254, which contain Novartis’s
`
`confidential commercial and research and development information, confidential
`
`information of third parties, and personal employee information. Novartis
`
`concurrently requests entry of a Modified Default Standing Protective Order (Ex.
`
`2323), to provide additional protections for confidential information of a third
`
`party. Exhibit 2324 shows the proposed modifications to the order that the Board
`
`previously entered in this case. Petitioner does not oppose entry of this Modified
`
`Protective Order, set forth in Exhibit 2323.
`
`In determining whether to grant a Motion to Seal, the Board must find “good
`
`cause” to seal the information in question 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 at 19. The Board identifies confidential
`
`information in a manner “consistent with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure
`
`
`
`
`

`

`U.S. Patent No. 9,220,631
`
`26(c)(1)(G), which provides for protective orders for trade secret or other
`
`confidential research, development, or commercial information.” Id.
`
`The information that Novartis seeks to seal is either Novartis’s confidential
`
`research and development related to the subject matter of U.S. Patent No.
`
`9,220,631 (“the ’631 patent”), Novartis’s confidential commercial information,
`
`third party confidential information, or information that is subject to contractual or
`
`statutory obligations of confidentiality to third party companies or individuals, as
`
`explained in more detail below. To the undersigned’s knowledge, the information
`
`sought to be sealed has not been published or otherwise made public. Public
`
`disclosure of Novartis’s or third party confidential information would
`
`competitively harm Novartis’s and/or the third parties’ business prospects and put
`
`these companies at a competitive disadvantage relative to other similarly
`
`positioned companies in the same industry. In addition, we are advised by Swiss
`
`counsel that public disclosure of the third party confidential information or
`
`personal information of employees could subject Novartis to civil and criminal
`
`penalties under the laws of Switzerland. As such, good cause exists to seal the
`
`confidential versions of the POR, portions of Novartis’s Motion to Amend, and
`
`Exhibits 2099–2115, 2119–2121, 2123–2124, 2126–2128, 2129–2134, 2136–
`
`2148, 2150, 2155–2159, 2166–2172, 2194, 2201, 2203–2206, 2208, 2224, and
`
`2254. With this motion, Novartis is publicly filing redacted versions of Exhibits
`
`
`
`
`
`2
`
`

`

`U.S. Patent No. 9,220,631
`
`2119–2121, 2123–2124, 2126–2128, 2129–2134, 2136–2148, 2150, 2155–2159,
`
`2166–2172, 2201, 2203–2206, 2208, 2224, and 2254. These redactions are
`
`narrowly tailored to protect the confidential information therein from public
`
`disclosure.
`
`Exhibits 2120, 2126, 2128–2131, 2136–2145, 2150, 2244, and 2254
`(Novartis’s Technical Documents)
`
`Exhibits 2120, 2126, 2128–2131, 2136–2145, 2150, 2244, and 2254 are
`
`
`
`Novartis presentations discussing its research and development of the ʼ631 patent
`
`and project timelines, reports prepared for submission to regulatory authorities, and
`
`emails regarding creating a product that would meet standards set by the European
`
`Medicines Agency. Novartis relies on these documents to support its arguments
`
`regarding secondary considerations of non-obviousness.
`
`As in Novartis’s Second Motion to Seal, Novartis seeks to seal three
`
`categories of information in these documents: (1) Novartis’s proprietary
`
`development information, (2) business information of third parties, and (3)
`
`personal information of Novartis and third party employees.
`
`First, Exhibits 2120, 2126, 2128–2131, 2136–2145, 2150, 2244, and 2254
`
`contain information pertaining to Novartis’s research and development work
`
`related to the subject matter of the ’631 patent, and are therefore “confidential
`
`research [and] development . . . information” pursuant to FRCP 26(c)(1)(G). This
`
`work includes specific quantitative and qualitative details regarding the
`3
`
`
`
`
`
`

`

`U.S. Patent No. 9,220,631
`
`development of the subject matter claimed in the ʼ631 patent, such as numerical
`
`data measuring the effect of certain sterilization processes on the stability of the
`
`drug product, discussions on dosing accuracy and particulate matter, and diagrams
`
`of stopper and plunger designs. Public disclosure of this information would harm
`
`Novartis because insight into its research and development processes would
`
`provide a competitive advantage to Novartis’s competitors to Novartis’s detriment.
`
`Second, portions of Exhibits 2120, 2128–2129, 2130–2131, 2136–2139,
`
`2141–2145, 2150, and 2254 that Novartis seeks to seal certain third party
`
`confidential information that Novartis is legally obligated to protect from public
`
`disclosure. As previously explained in Novartis’s Second Motion to Seal, Articles
`
`162 and 273 of the Swiss Criminal Code (“SCC”) prohibit the unauthorized
`
`disclosure or communication of manufacturing or business secrets to third parties,
`
`including foreign authorities, the opposing party or its counsel. See Paper No. 18
`
`at 4–5 (stating that Swiss law protects “all information relating to a company’s
`
`manufacturing and production process and any other elements of economic life
`
`over which the owner of a secret is presumed to have an interest in
`
`confidentiality”).
`
`Under Articles 162 and 273, Novartis is prohibited from disclosing such
`
`confidential information related to a third party unless the third party consents to
`
`that disclosure or the disclosure is made during legal assistance proceedings under
`
`
`
`
`
`4
`
`

`

`U.S. Patent No. 9,220,631
`
`the applicable Hague evidence convention. Ex. 2097 at ¶¶ 4–31; Ex. 2325 at ¶¶ 5–
`
`6. In connection with this proceeding and the related litigations, Novartis has
`
`diligently sought consent to disclose the information of the third parties referenced
`
`in Novartis’s documents. Exhibit 2097 at ¶¶ 16, 19. The companies that provided
`
`consent for Novartis to disclose their information in these proceedings did so only
`
`under an agreement that Novartis would disclose this information in such a way
`
`that would protect the information from public disclosure. Ex. 2097 at ¶ 17.
`
`While some third parties provided consent for Novartis to use their
`
`information in this proceeding, Novartis is still obligated pursuant to provisions of
`
`the SCC to protect the third parties’ information from public disclosure. Ex. 2097
`
`at ¶¶ 17, 18. Novartis may be exposed to criminal penalties under the SCC and
`
`civil liabilities if this information is not sealed. Ex. 2097 at ¶¶ 15, 17–18.
`
`Additionally, not all third parties referenced in these documents have
`
`authorized disclosure of their information. As discussed above, Novartis is legally
`
`obligated to prevent disclosure of information related to parties that did not provide
`
`consent, and could be subject to civil liabilities and criminal penalties if this
`
`information is disclosed to unauthorized third parties, regardless of whether a
`
`protective order is in place. Thus, information related to the third parties that did
`
`not provide consent to disclosure is redacted in the public and sealed versions of
`
`
`
`
`
`5
`
`

`

`U.S. Patent No. 9,220,631
`
`Exhibits 2120, 2128–2129, 2130–2131, 2136, 2138–2139, 2141, 2144–2145, 2244,
`
`and 2254.
`
`Novartis additionally seeks to seal the third party confidential information in
`
`these documents that relates to Novartis’s business relationships with two third
`
`parties and details of these third parties’ siliconization and sterilization practices
`
`and processes, respectively. This information falls squarely within the business
`
`secrets covered by Articles 162 and 273. Ex. 2097 at ¶ 13.
`
`Third, Exhibits 2120, 2126–2128, 2142–2145, and 2150 contain personal
`
`information of Novartis and third party employees, including the identities of
`
`Novartis and third party employees and their roles and responsibilities. As
`
`discussed above, Novartis is legally obligated to prevent the public disclosure of
`
`employee information, and public disclosure of this information may expose
`
`Novartis to criminal sanctions and civil liability. Therefore, pursuant to Swiss law,
`
`personal information regarding Novartis and third party employees is redacted in
`
`both the public and sealed versions of these exhibits.
`
`Therefore, good cause exists to seal Exhibits 2120, 2126, 2128–2131, 2136–
`
`2145, 2150, 2244, and 2254 due to the presence of Novartis’s confidential
`
`information and confidential information from a third party, the disclosure of
`
`which would put Novartis and the third party at a competitive disadvantage. There
`
`
`
`
`
`6
`
`

`

`U.S. Patent No. 9,220,631
`
`is also good cause to seal the personal information of individuals employed by
`
`Novartis and third parties based on obligations under Swiss privacy laws.
`
`Exhibits 2119, 2121, 2123–2124, 2132–2134, 2146–2147, 2155–2159,
`2204, 2205 (Novartis’s Commercial Information)
`
`Exhibits 2119, 2121, 2123–2124, 2132–2134, 2146–2147, and 2155–2159
`
`are contracts between Novartis and third parties. Novartis relies on these
`
`documents to support its argument that Genentech’s licensing of the ʼ631 patent is
`
`evidence of the non-obviousness of the challenged claims. The information that
`
`Novartis seeks to seal in these exhibits includes Novartis’s confidential
`
`commercial information, and personal information of Novartis and third party
`
`employees that are protected from disclosure under Swiss law. Novartis also seeks
`
`to seal confidential information from a third party in Exhibit 2147.
`
`Novartis seeks to seal three categories of confidential information in
`
`Exhibits 2119, 2121, 2123–2124, 2132–2134, 2146–2147, and 2155–2159: (1)
`
`Novartis’s confidential commercial information, (2) personal information of
`
`Novartis and third party employees, and (3) business information of a third party.
`
`First, Exhibits 2119, 2121, 2123–2124, 2132–2134, 2146–2147, and 2155–
`
`2159 contain contractual terms of the agreements between Novartis and third
`
`parties. These agreements contain information that would provide insight into
`
`Novartis’s business models, confidential business activities, and licensing and
`
`contracting practices. Furthermore, many of these agreements include exhibits
`7
`
`
`
`
`
`

`

`U.S. Patent No. 9,220,631
`
`detailing research, development, and collaboration efforts on specific aspects of the
`
`ʼ631 patent between Novartis and the third parties. Public disclosure of this
`
`information would harm Novartis and its third party business partners because
`
`insight into these specific contractual terms and business strategies would provide
`
`a competitive advantage to Novartis’s competitors to Novartis’s detriment.
`
`Additionally, Novartis’s confidential research and development strategies should
`
`not be subject to public exposure as explained above.
`
`Second, as discussed above, Novartis is legally obligated to prevent the
`
`public disclosure of employee information, and public disclosure of this
`
`information may expose Novartis to criminal sanctions and civil liability under the
`
`Swiss Data Protection Act (“DPA”) and the Swiss Code of Obligations (“SCO.”).
`
`See Paper No. 18 at 9 (explaining Novartis’s legal duties under Swiss law). This
`
`protection extends to employee identities and their personal signatures.
`
`The employee information that is redacted from both the public and sealed
`
`versions of Exhibits 2119, 2121, 2123–2124, 2132–2134, and 2146–2147 relates to
`
`employees who did not provide consent, and therefore, public disclosure of this
`
`information may expose Novartis to criminal sanctions and civil liability under
`
`both the DPA and the SCO. See Ex. 2097 at ¶¶ 30– 31.
`
`Third, as explained in Novartis’s Second Motion to Seal, although the third
`
`party referenced in Ex. 2147 provided consent for Novartis to use its information
`
`
`
`
`
`8
`
`

`

`U.S. Patent No. 9,220,631
`
`in this proceeding, Novartis is obligated to protect the third party’s information
`
`from public disclosure. Ex. 2097 at ¶¶ 17, 18. Novartis may be exposed to
`
`criminal penalties under the SCC and civil liabilities if this information is not
`
`sealed. Ex. 2097 at ¶¶ 15, 17–18; IPR2021-00816, Paper No. 18 at 5.
`
`Thus, good cause exists to seal the confidential versions of Exhibits 2119,
`
`2121, 2123–2124, 2132–2134, 2146–2147, and 2155–2159 due to the presence of
`
`Novartis’s confidential commercial information and the personal information of
`
`individuals employed by Novartis and third parties protected under Swiss law.
`
`Exhibits 2099–2115, 2148, and 2194 (Genentech, Inc. Documents)
`
`Exhibits 2099–2115 and 2148 are Genentech, Inc. (“Genentech”) documents
`
`produced in the related International Trade Commission (“ITC”) investigation
`
`regarding the ’631 patent. See Certain Pre-Filled Syringes for Intravitreal
`
`Injection and Components Thereof, Inv. No. 337-TA-1207. Exhibit 2194 is the
`
`deposition transcript of Genentech’s Fed. R. Civ. P. 30(b)(6) corporate designee,
`
`taken in the ITC action. Novartis relies on these documents to support its argument
`
`regarding secondary considerations and nexus to the claims of the ’631 patent.
`
`Specifically, Exhibits 2099–2115, 2148, and 2194 contain confidential
`
`information of Genentech that should not be subject to public disclosure, including,
`
`for example, sales (see, e.g., Ex. 2099), Genentech’s sterilization processes and
`
`timelines (see, e.g., Ex. 2100), investigation reports regarding sterilization
`
`
`
`
`
`9
`
`

`

`U.S. Patent No. 9,220,631
`
`treatment (see, e.g., Ex. 2102), and testimony of Genentech discussing its research
`
`and development efforts (Ex. 2194). These documents were part of the record
`
`developed in the ITC action, and in that action, these documents were subject to a
`
`protective order requiring that these documents only be accessible by outside
`
`counsel. The parties to this IPR proceeding have agreed to modify the protective
`
`order in this action to extend the same level of protection for these documents as
`
`was provided in the ITC action. Exhibit 2323.
`
`Public disclosure of the information in Exhibits 2099–2115, 2148, and 2194
`
`would harm Novartis’s third party business partner, Genentech, because insights
`
`into Genentech’s technical and business information would provide a competitive
`
`advantage to the third party’s competitors to its detriment. Therefore, good cause
`
`exists to seal the confidential versions of Exhibits 2099–2115, 2148, and 2194 and
`
`to enter the modified protective order set forth in Exhibit 2323.
`
`Exhibits 2166–2173, 2204, and 2205 (Novartis’s Internal Business and
`Financial Documents)
`
`Exhibits 2166–2173 are Novartis’s internal business and financial
`
`documents. Exhibits 2204 and 2205 are declarations from witnesses that discuss
`
`Novartis’s business and financial documents. The information that Novartis seeks
`
`to seal in these documents includes details on market and competitor analyses,
`
`financial sales, business strategies, and data on consumer satisfaction regarding the
`
`subject matter claimed in the ʼ631 patent. Novartis relies on this information in
`10
`
`
`
`
`
`

`

`U.S. Patent No. 9,220,631
`
`support of its argument that secondary considerations weigh in favor of a finding
`
`of nonobviousness. Public disclosure of this information would competitively
`
`harm Novartis because other businesses in the same industry would unfairly
`
`benefit from Novartis’s market strategies and business models.
`
`Additionally, Exhibits 2204 and 2205 contain confidential commercial
`
`information of third parties. These documents include references to Genentech’s
`
`sales of the subject matter of the ʼ631 patent (see, e.g., Ex. 2204 ¶¶ 20, 37, 40, Ex.
`
`2205 ¶¶ 58 n.23, 70 n.70) and contractual agreements between Novartis,
`
`Genentech, and a third party. Disclosing this information would lead to exposure
`
`of Genentech’s business models and approaches to collaborating with Novartis and
`
`third parties, thus harming Genentech to its detriment. This type of harm would
`
`also apply to the third party to Novartis’s and Genentech’s contractual agreement.
`
`Thus, good cause exists to seal the confidential versions of Exhibits 2166–
`
`2171–2173, 2204, and 2205 due to the presence of Novartis’s and Genentech’s
`
`confidential business and financial information.
`
`Exhibits 2201, 2203, 2206, and 2208 (Novartis Declarations)
`
`Novartis seeks to seal portions of Exhibits 2201, 2203, 2206, and 2208
`
`because they contain information regarding Novartis’s and third party proprietary
`
`technical and development information, confidential business information of third
`
`
`
`
`
`11
`
`

`

`U.S. Patent No. 9,220,631
`
`parties, and contain references to the previously discussed exhibits, which have
`
`confidential information that is protected under Swiss law.
`
`First, Exhibits 2201, 2203, 2206, and 2208 contain information on
`
`Novartis’s research and development efforts related to the subject matter of the
`
`ʼ631 patent. This information includes references to Novartis’s approach to
`
`siliconization and sterilization challenges (see, e.g., Ex. 2201 ¶¶ 93–104, Ex. 2203
`
`¶¶ 72–73, 83, Ex. 2206 ¶¶ 20, 22, 25), pre-filled syringe testing and studies, (see,
`
`e.g., Ex. 2206 ¶¶ 20–22, Ex. 2208 ¶¶ 116–20) and design modifications of the pre-
`
`filled syringe (see, e.g., Ex. 2201 ¶ 104). As discussed above, public disclosure of
`
`this information would harm Novartis because insight into its research and
`
`development processes would provide a competitive advantage to Novartis’s
`
`competitors to Novartis’s detriment.
`
`Second, Exhibits 2201, 2203, 2206, and 2208 include information on
`
`Novartis’s business relationships with third parties as well as third party
`
`confidential business information. These documents contain details on
`
`collaboration efforts to develop the sterilization process of the ʼ631 patent with
`
`Genentech (see, e.g., Ex. 2201 ¶¶ 157–64, 2203 ¶¶ 72–73, 2206 ¶¶ 6–18, 52) and
`
`with another third party sterilization specialist (see, e.g., Ex. 2203 ¶¶ 72–73),
`
`discussions on whether Genentech’s product was an embodiment of the claims in
`
`the ʼ631 patent (see, e.g., Ex. 2208 , ¶¶ 113–15), and references to contractual
`
`
`
`
`
`12
`
`

`

`U.S. Patent No. 9,220,631
`
`agreements that include licensing rights (see, e.g., Ex. 2201 ¶ 164). Disclosure of
`
`this information would harm Novartis and its third party business partners because
`
`Novartis’s competitors would gain insight into Novartis’s business approaches and
`
`commercial interests when collaborating with third parties, thereby placing
`
`Novartis at a competitive disadvantage. Furthermore, the third parties discussed in
`
`these documents would be harmed in the event of disclosure, because insights into
`
`their technical and business information would provide a competitive advantage to
`
`other companies at their expense.
`
`Third, portions of Exhibits 2201, 2203, 2206, and 2208 rely on and cite to
`
`confidential information appearing in Exhibits 2099–2115, 2119–2121, 2123–
`
`2124, 2126–2128, 2129–2134, 2136–2148, 2150, 2155–2159, 2166–2172, 2194,
`
`2201, 2203–2206, 2208, 2224, and 2254. For the same reasons that these exhibits
`
`should be sealed, so should the corresponding portions of Exhibits 2201, 2203,
`
`2206, and 2208.
`
`Thus, good cause exists to seal the confidential versions of Exhibits 2201,
`
`2203, 2206, and 2208 due to the presence of Novartis’s and third party proprietary
`
`technical and development information, confidential business information of third
`
`parties, and personal information of Novartis and third party employees.
`
`
`
`

`
`

`

`U.S. Patent No. 9,220,631
`
`Novartis’s Patent Owner Response and Motion to Amend
`
`Novartis seeks to seal the portions of the POR and MTA that discuss the
`
`confidential information disclosed in the Exhibits that Novartis currently seeks to
`
`seal. For the same reasons that these exhibits should be sealed as discussed above,
`
`there is also good cause to seal the portions of the POR and MTA that include
`
`confidential information appearing in Exhibits 2099–2115, 2119–2121, 2123–
`
`2124, 2126–2128, 2129–2134, 2136–2148, 2150, 2155–2159, 2166–2172, 2194,
`
`2201, 2203–2206, 2208, 2224, and 2254.
`
`*
`
`*
`
`*
`
`The information redacted from the public versions of the POR, the MTA,
`
`and Exhibits 2201, 2203–2206, 2099–2115, 2119–2121, 2123–2134, 2126–2134,
`
`2136–2150, 2194, and 2254 is not essential to an understanding of the POR and
`
`does not impede the public’s understanding of the file history of the ’631 patent.
`
`Novartis’s public filing sets forth its arguments that (1) the named inventors
`
`conceived of and diligently reduced the claimed invention to practice prior to the
`
`publication of specific prior art and (2) secondary considerations of non-
`
`obviousness support a finding that the challenged claims are patentable. This type
`
`of information is routinely sealed in IPR proceedings. See, e.g., Array Biopharma,
`
`Inc. v. Takeda Pharm. Co. Ltd., IPR2015-00754, Paper No. 62, at 3–6 (Aug. 12,
`
`2016) (granting petitioner’s revised motion to seal exhibits covering the conception
`
`
`
`
`
`14
`
`

`

`U.S. Patent No. 9,220,631
`
`of the patent-at-issue, including the testing and synthesis of biologic compounds);
`
`Prong, Inc. v. Yeoshura Sorias, IPR2-15-01317, Paper No. 32, at 5–6 (Mar. 28,
`
`2016) (granting patent owner’s motion to seal several exhibits, including patent
`
`owner’s response, which contained “discussions of secondary considerations of
`
`non-obvious[ness] based on commercial success” such as “the identity of the
`
`manufacturers and other business partners, and confidential sales information”).
`
`Here, Novartis’s interest in maintaining its proprietary commercial, research and
`
`development information as confidential, its obligations of secrecy under Swiss
`
`privacy laws, and the interests of a third party in protecting its commercial and
`
`technical information outweigh the public’s interest in accessing this information
`
`for the purposes of the patentability of the challenged claims in this proceeding.
`
`Accordingly, Novartis respectfully requests that the Board grant Patent
`
`Owners’ Third Motion to Seal.
