`
`
`Introduction
`Pursuant to the default protective order and 37 C.F.R. §§ 42.14, 42.54, and
`
`I.
`
`42.55, Patent Owner Novo Nordisk A/S (“Novo”) hereby moves to seal its Patent
`
`Owner Preliminary Response as described herein. Petitioner Apotex Inc.
`
`(“Apotex”) has advised Novo that Apotex does not oppose this motion to seal the
`
`Patent Owner Preliminary Response.
`
`II. Good Cause Exists to Seal the Patent Owner Preliminary Response
`Pursuant to the default protective order (filed by Apotex at Appendix A of
`
`Paper 3) and 37 C.F.R. §§ 42.14, 42.54 and 42.55, Novo moves to seal ityyyys
`
`Patent Owner Preliminary Response submitted concurrently with this motion.
`
`Based on Apotex’s representations, “good cause” exists to seal Novo’s
`
`Patent Owner Preliminary Response because it includes material that Apotex has
`
`represented is non-public business information. See Celltrion, Inc. v. Genentech,
`
`Inc., IPR2016-01667, Pap.31, 4 (July 23, 2018); Greene’s Energy Grp., LLC v. Oil
`
`States Energy Servs., LLC, IPR2014-00216, Pap.27, 5 (Sept. 23, 2014); 37 C.F.R.
`
`§ 42.54. Specifically, portions of Novo’s Patent Owner Preliminary Response
`
`contain information that Apotex has designated confidential in Apotex’s Motion to
`
`Seal and for Entry of a Protective Order Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.54. Petitioner
`
`has stated that this information, if “publicly disclosed[,] would likely cause
`
`competitive business harm to Apotex.” Paper 3 at 2.
