`
`Petitioner Meta Platforms, Inc. (“Meta”) and patent owner Thales Visionix,
`
`Inc. (collectively, “the Parties”) jointly request to file and treat the Patent License
`
`And Settlement Agreement between Petitioner and real party-in-interest Gentex
`
`Corporation (the “Meta-Gentex Agreement,” Exhibit 1042) as business confidential
`
`information. The Parties further jointly request that the confidential Meta-Gentex
`
`Agreement be kept separate from the file of the subject patent in the above-captioned
`
`proceeding and be made available only to federal government agencies on written
`
`request or to persons showing good cause. The Board authorized the filing of this
`
`request on January 16, 2024.
`
`Petitioner considers the Meta-Gentex Agreement as highly sensitive business
`
`confidential information that could substantially harm its business interests if
`
`publicly disclosed.
