`PATENT OWNER’S REPLY TO PETITIONER’S OPPOSITION TO

`

`

`IPR2023-00050
`Reply to Opposition to Motion to Seal and for Entry of Default Protective Order
`
`
`Introduction
`Patent Owner satisfied its burden to establish that the contents of Exhibits
`
`I.
`
`2048-2050 are “truly confidential.” Moreover, good cause exists to protect and
`
`seal that material. The Motion to Seal should be granted.
`
`II. There is Good Cause to Seal the JRA (Exhibit 2048), Briefing Document
`(Exhibit 2049), and Internal Business Notes (Exhibit 2050)
`Good cause to seal material is determined on the balance of four factors.
`
`Paper 26 (Patent Owner’s Motion to Seal) at 3-4. Petitioner’s opposition
`
`challenges only one: whether the sealed material is “truly confidential.” But Patent
`
`Owner satisfied this factor by explaining that these documents contain confidential
`
`technical, financial, and commercial information. See id. at 4-10.
`
`The documents Petitioner seeks to unseal relate to its challenge under
`
`§102(e) and help to establish the disclosure set out in the Bodor reference on which
`
`Petitioner relies is not “by another.” These materials are not publicly available and
`
`contain sensitive business, licensing, commercial, and research and development
`
`information of Patent Owner, Patent Owner’s predecessor, and third parties. See
`
`Paper 26 at 3-8. These types of documents are routinely considered confidential
`
`and sealed. See, e.g., Mylan Lab’ys Ltd. v. Aventis Pharm. S.A., IPR2016-00712,
`
`Paper 35 at 3 (granting motions to seal exhibits containing market analyses and
`
`meeting minutes related to regulatory plans and clinical trials); Associated British
`
`Foods PLC et al. v. Cornell Rsch. Found., IPR2019-00577, Paper 129 at 3-4

`

`

`IPR2023-00050
`Reply to Opposition to Motion to Seal and for Entry of Default Protective Order
`
`
`(granting motion to seal “grant applications, a record of invention, and license
`
`agreements”); Celltrion, Inc. v. Genentech, Inc., IPR2016-01667, Paper 20 at 3
`
`(granting motion to seal exhibits including “‘non-public research and development
`
`information in the form of proprietary clinical and scientific data concerning [the
`
`drug product], and confidential information about drug development and
`
`regulatory approval strategies.’”).
`
`Turning first to the confidential Joint Research Agreement (“JRA”) in
`
`Exhibit 2048, that document establishes the relationship between Patent Owner’s
`
`predecessor and third parties that led to the disclosure upon which Petitioner relies.
`
`On its face, the JRA establishes why it is appropriately sealed in this proceeding:
`
`It explicitly states that the parties can neither disclose the JRA nor its performance
`
`without permission. See Exhibit 2048 at 29. It further demands that the
`
`involvement of certain entities may not be disclosed. Id. The JRA further includes
`
`confidential information related to commercial business information (e.g., research
`
`and development information, financial data, and licensing terms and practices)
`
`that could have significant value to competitors of both Patent Owner and third
`
`parties to the agreement. Good cause therefore exists to seal this material. The
`
`Board has granted motions to seal similar agreements on similar grounds. See,
`
`e.g., Westinghouse Air Brake Techs. Corp. v. Siemens Mobility, Inc., IPR2017-
`
`01669, Paper 60.

`IPR2023-00050
`Reply to Opposition to Motion to Seal and for Entry of Default Protective Order
`
`
`Next, turning to Exhibits 2049 and 2050, these documents were created
`
`pursuant to the performance outlined in the confidential JRA. Contrary to
`
`Petitioner’s argument, the JRA expressly contemplates treating documents like
`
`Exhibits 2049 and 2050, which trigger the contractual obligation, as confidential
`
`information. See Exhibit 2048 at 3 (stating that one of two categories of
`
`confidential material include “any information that, by the nature of the
`
`information or the circumstances surrounding its disclosure, ought, in good faith,
`
`to be treated as confidential.”). Because these documents concern research and
`
`development efforts, marketing plans, regulatory plans, and licensing practices of
`
`third parties and of Patent Owner’s predecessor, they satisfy the JRA’s confidential
`
`information definition. Specifically, Exhibit 2049 is a draft of a document for
`
`confidential submission before the Swedish Medical Products Authority. The
`
`contents include confidential business information and research and development
`
`information of both Patent Owner’s predecessor and third parties. These
`
`categories of confidential information should be sealed. See Activision Blizzard,
`
`Inc. et al. v. Acceleration Bay, LLC, IPR2015-01951, Paper 108 at 3-4 (granting
`
`motion to seal “confidential information regarding internal research and
`
`development efforts of a third party” and “licensing practices of a third party”).
`
`Exhibit 2050 is a copy of internal meeting notes that discuss business-
`
`sensitive marketing plans, research and development plans, and regulatory
`
`
`
`- 3 -
`
`

`

`IPR2023-00050
`Reply to Opposition to Motion to Seal and for Entry of Default Protective Order
`
`strategy. Such information is generally understood to be confidential and known to
`
`potentially cause harm by its disclosure. The Board has withheld similar
`
`confidential information from public disclosure before. See, e.g., Mylan, IPR2016-
`
`00712, Paper 35 at 3 (granting motion to seal business notes related to confidential
`
`FDA submissions, marketing plans, and regulatory strategy); British Foods,
`
`IPR2019-00577, Paper 129 at 3-4 (same). Accordingly, good cause exists to seal
`
`the confidential information in all three documents.
`
`III. Reference in Patent Owner Response Does Not Extinguish the
`Documents’ Entire Confidentiality
`Beyond pointing to the material cited in the Patent Owner Response
`
`(“POR”), Petitioner does not point to any specific material that is public. That is
`
`because there is none. Patent Owner acknowledges that its POR quotes and
`
`references a handful of sentences out of numerous pages of the challenged
`
`Exhibits. But such quotes and references do not extinguish the documents’
`
`confidentiality—and certainly should not result in public disclosure of the
`
`confidential documents’ entire contents. Exhibit 2048-2050 are referenced in the
`
`POR in conjunction with other unsealed and public exhibits. See Paper 27 (POR)
`
`at 12-15. The POR introduces the existence of these confidential documents and
`
`points to precise instances where they help establish Patent Owner’s predecessor’s
`
`involvement in the disclosure found in Petitioner’s Bodor reference. See id. The
`
`
`
`- 4 -
`
`

`

`IPR2023-00050
`Reply to Opposition to Motion to Seal and for Entry of Default Protective Order
`
`
`POR does not disclose the totality of the confidential material discussed above.
`
`Nevertheless, to address any concerns, Patent Owner has filed redacted Exhibits, as
`
`Exhibits 2077-2079, redacting only non-public information which has not been
`
`quoted or referenced in any papers in these proceedings, and which is clearly
`
`confidential and should be shielded from the public.1
`
`IV. Patent Owner Has Filed Public-Facing Versions
`Petitioner’s opposition noted that Patent Owner had not yet filed a public
`
`version of the challenged Exhibits. But as of this Reply, Patent Owner has filed
`
`public versions of these Exhibits, as Exhibits 2077-2079, with the redactions
`
`discussed above. That filing should cure any concerns Petitioner has regarding
`
`proper public disclosure of non-confidential information.
`
`For the above reasons, the Motion to Seal should be granted.
`
`Dated: May 15, 2024
`
`Respectfully Submitted,
