UNITED STATES PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE
`
`____________
`
`BEFORE THE PATENT TRIAL AND APPEAL BOARD
`
`____________
`
`UNIVERSITY OF WATERLOO,
`
`Assignee of U.S. Patent Application No. 15/513,914
`
`Petitioner,
`
`v.
`
`SALIENT ENERGY INC.
`
`Assignee of U.S. Patent No. 9,780,412
`
`Respondent.
`
`____________
`
`Case No.:________
`
`____________
`
`PETITIONER’S OWNER’S MOTION TO SEAL
`
`UNDER 37 C.F.R. §§ 42.14 AND 42.54
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`

`

`
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. §§ 42.14 and 42.54, Petitioner University of Waterloo
`
`(“UW”), submits this Motion to Seal its concurrently filed Petition to Institute
`
`Derivation Proceeding Pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 135 and Exhibits 1005, 1006, 1009,
`
`1016, 1017, 1019, 1021, 1022, 1023.
`
`UW’s Petition to Institute and these exhibits were filed under seal because
`
`they discuss information designated as “Confidential” or “Highly Confidential” by
`
`Petitioner.
`
`I. Reasons for Sealing Certain Confidential Information
`As set forth below, good cause exists for maintaining UW’s Petition to
`
`Institute and Exhibits 1005, 1006, 1009, 1016, 1017, 1019, 1021, 1022, 1023 under
`
`seal.
`
`UW’s Derivation Petition references:
`
`Exhibits 1005 and 1006
`
`Exhibits 1016, 1017 and 1019
`
`Exhibits 1021, 1022 and 1023
`
`The foregoing references were not intended for public consumption and may
`
`contain information that is otherwise protected and/or deemed confidential by
`
`third-parties. Specifically, excerpts from lab notebooks (i.e., Exhibits 1021-23)
`
`may contain information relevant to ongoing or future projects for which UW or
`
`funding entities might require confidentiality. Additionally, information in the
`
`
`
`
`
`1
`
`

`

`
`
`presentations (i.e. Exhibits 1017 and 1019) may implicate confidentiality concerns
`
`of a public/private partnership, and thus information presented might implicate
`
`commercial interests in the research funded. These exhibits were referenced,
`
`quoted, and/or summarized in the text of the Petition and in its supporting
`
`declarations (i.e. Exhibits 1015 and 1016) such that they could disclose protected
`
`information; thus, these portions have been redacted accordingly.
`
`II. Certification of Non-Publication Status
`UW’s undersigned counsel certifies that the information sought to be sealed
`
`by this motion has not been published or otherwise made public to the best of his
`
`knowledge.
`
`III. Proposed Protective Order
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.55(a), UW concurrently herewith submits as
`
`Exhibit 1024 the Default Standing Protective Order.
`
`IV. Request For Relief
`UW requests that its Petition to Institute Derivation Proceeding Pursuant to
`
`35 U.S.C. § 135 and Exhibits 1005, 1006, 1009, 1016, 1017, 1019, 1021, 1022,
`
`1023 filed on July 20, 2018 remain under seal.
