`
`
`
`
`
`JOINT AGREEMENT REGARDING PROCEDURE FOR OBJECTING TO
`SEALED EXHIBITS FILED PRE-INSTITUTION
`
`
`
`
`Case No. IPR2022-01299
`Attorney Docket No: 50095-0046IP1
`
`The Board instituted trial in the present proceeding on February 1, 2023. See
`
`Paper 21. 37 C.F.R. § 42.64(b)(1) provides that “[a]ny objection to evidence
`
`submitted during a preliminary proceeding must be filed within ten business days of
`
`the institution of the trial” and “[o]nce a trial has been instituted, any objection must
`
`be filed within five business days of service of evidence to which the objection is
`
`directed.”
`
`Patent Owner (Masimo Corp.) filed a number of confidential exhibits with its
`
`Preliminary Response. The confidential exhibits were filed under seal and have
`
`remained under seal pending resolution of Patent Owner’s Renewed Motion to Seal
`
`and for Entry of a Protective Order, which was filed on November 22, 2022.
`
`Petitioner (Apple Inc.) has not yet been served the confidential exhibits, nor has
`
`Petitioner been provided access to the sealed exhibits.
`
`In view of the present circumstances, the parties conferred by email on
`
`February 7-8 and agreed to a proposal by Masimo as follows:
`
`(1) Masimo will waive the requirement to file objections to the sealed
`
`exhibits within 10 business days of institution and to allow Apple to file,
`
`within five business days of service of Masimo’s Patent Owner Response,
`
`objections to any sealed exhibits Masimo relies on in its POR, and
`
`(2) any sealed exhibits that Masimo does not rely on in its Patent Owner’s
`
`Response will be deemed to be withdrawn from the record.

`
`Petitioner emailed the Board on February 8, 2023 to request clarification
`
`regarding Petitioner’s ability to offer timely objections to the confidential exhibits
`
`that remain inaccessible to Petitioner. See EX3002. Petitioner’s email referenced
`
`agreement to the above proposal, and the Board on February 9, 2023 authorized the
`
`parties to jointly file a copy of the agreement. Id. The parties jointly file this paper
`
`pursuant to the Board’s authorization.
