`Petitioners
`

`____________
`
`Case No: IPR2021-01338
`
`U.S. Patent No. 6,411,941 B1
`____________
`
`PETITIONERS’ MOTION TO FILE
`CONFIDENTIAL DOCUMENTS UNDER SEAL
`PURSUANT TO 37 C.F.R. §§ 42.14 AND 42.54
`
`158450191.1
`
`
`
`
`
` PTAB Case No. IPR2021-01338 for Patent No. 6,411,941 B1
`
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. §§ 42.14 and 42.54, Petitioners Nintendo Co., LTD.,
`
`
`
`and Nintendo of America Inc., (“Nintendo”) respectfully submits this Motion to
`
`Seal Nintendo’s Oral Hearing Demonstrative Exhibit 1078 filed concurrently with
`
`this Motion. Nintendo is concurrently filing a redacted version of Exhibit 1078.
`
`Pursuant to the Trial Practice Guide July 2019 Update, “[t]he terms of a
`
`protective order take effect upon the filing of a Motion to Seal by a party, and
`
`remain in place until lifted or modified by the Board either on the motion of a party
`
`for good cause shown or sua sponte by the Board.” (Appendix B, § (b).)
`
`Accordingly, Nintendo understands that the protective order (Ex. 1078) proposed
`
`by the parties will take effect upon filing of this motion.
`
`I.
`
`
`Background
`Evidence in this case relates to licensing history for the patent at issue in this
`
`IPR, and is relied upon as part of the objective evidence of non-obviousness.
`
`Nintendo’s oral hearing demonstrative exhibit incorporates some of this
`
`information, which includes third party confidential information that the third
`
`parties wish to remain confidential.
`
`II. Good Causes Exists for Sealing the Exhibits Containing Confidential
`Information
`
`Nintendo submits that Proposed Exhibit 1078 incorporates confidential
`
`business information, the disclosure of which is likely to significantly harm one or
`
`158450191.1

`
`
`
`
`
` PTAB Case No. IPR2021-01338 for Patent No. 6,411,941 B1
`
`
`more third party’s competitive position, or the disclosure of which would
`
`contravene an obligation of confidentiality. The redacted portions of Exhibit 1078
`
`contain information produced by Patent Owner in this proceeding, that Patent
`
`Owner has represented is confidential to itself and third-parties, and that Patent
`
`Owner has represented was only able to be produced pursuant to the Protective
`
`Order.
