`
`PETITIONER’S MOTION TO FILE
`CONFIDENTIAL DOCUMENTS UNDER SEAL
`PURSUANT TO 37 C.F.R. §§ 42.14 AND 42.54
`
`164475315.1
`
`
`
`
`
` PTAB Case No. IPR2024-00150 for Patent No. 7,292,835B1
`
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. §§ 42.14 and 42.54, Petitioner MediaTek Inc.
`
`
`
`(“MediaTek”) respectfully submits this Motion to Seal Exhibit 1015 filed
`
`concurrently with this Motion and the Petition for Inter Partes Review. MediaTek
`
`understands that Patent Owner considers Exhibit 1015 highly confidential and
`
`therefore no public redacted version of this document is being filed.
`
`Pursuant to the Consolidated Trial Practice Guide (Nov. 2019), “[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, MediaTek understands that the protective order (Ex. 1022) proposed
`
`by MediaTek, and identical to the default protective order from Appendix B of
`
`Consolidated Trial Practice Guide (Nov. 2019), will take effect upon filing of this
`
`motion.
`
`I.
`
`
`Background
`MediaTek is concurrently submitting with its Petition for Inter Partes
`
`Review an Exhibit 1015. As explained below, this document belongs to Patent
`
`Owner, and Patent Owner apparently considers this document to be highly
`
`confidential.

`
`
`
`
`
` PTAB Case No. IPR2024-00150 for Patent No. 7,292,835B1
`
`
`II. Good Cause Regarding Sealing the Exhibit Containing Confidential
`Information
`Exhibit 1015 was served by Patent Owner on MediaTek in the parallel
`
`district court litigation. Patent Owner marked the document “Confidential” on all
`
`pages. Exhibit 1015 is an alleged infringement claim chart that constitutes part of
`
`Patent Owner’s preliminary infringement contentions in the parallel district court
`
`litigation. MediaTek understands, based on activities in a separate district court
`
`litigation against a third party, that Patent Owner considers the reverse engineering
`
`analysis in documents like Exhibit 1015 to be highly confidential and not
`
`appropriate for public disclosure. See Discovery Order, ParkerVision, Inc. v.
`
`Realtek Semiconductor Corp., No. 6:22-cv-01162 (W.D. Tex. July 27, 2023)
`
`(ECF 63).
`
`Thus, Exhibit 1015 belongs to Patent Owner, and Patent Owner apparently
`
`considers it to contain highly confidential information not appropriate for public
`
`disclosure. On that basis, MediaTek moves to seal Exhibit 1015.
