`INTRODUCTION
`I.
`On September 19, 2022, a conference call was held in the above-
`identified proceedings. In each of these proceedings, Petitioner entities
`Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. and Samsung Electronics America, Inc.
`(collectively “Samsung”) were terminated on August 29, 2022, by reason of
`settlement. The participants to the conference call were lead and backup
`counsel for Petitioner, lead counsel for Patent Owner, and Mr. Steve Chiang
`representing RPX Corp. who is not a party, and Judges Jameson Lee, Karl
`Easthom, Aaron Moore, and Brian McNamara.
`The matter discussed was the parties having filed a redacted copy of
`their Escrow Agreement in these proceedings, i.e., Exhibit 1034 in IPR2022-
`00385, Exhibit 1019 in IPR2022-00241, and Exhibit 1029 in IPR2022-
`00284. The parties previously represented to the Board that RPX Corp. is
`the only entity who possesses an unredacted copy of the Escrow Agreement.
`IPR2022-00385, Paper 21, 2.
`II. DISCUSSION
`During the conference call, Mr. Chiang informed the judges that RPX
`Corp. has agreed to send an unredacted copy of the Escrow Agreement to
`counsel for Patent Owner, for counsel for Patent Owner to file the
`unredacted copy with the Board and designate its access status as “Board
`only.” Counsel for the parties confirmed and agreed with that proposal. We
`also approved that proposed course of action
`The parties had previously requested to have their Escrow Agreement
`treated as confidential business information under 35 U.S.C. § 317(b) and 37
`C.F.R. § 42.74(c). We regard the request as extending to the unredacted
