`
`JOINT REQUEST TO TREAT SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT AS
`BUSINESS CONFIDENTIAL UNDER 35 U.S.C. § 317(B) AND
` 37 C.F.R. § 42.74(C)
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 317(b) and 37 C.F.R. § 42.74(c), Petitioner Par
`
`Pharmaceutical, Inc. (“Par” or “Petitioner”) and Patent Owner Horizon
`
`Therapeutics, LLC (“Horizon” or “Patent Owner”) hereby jointly request that a
`
`true copy of their settlement agreement, filed concurrently herewith as Exhibit
`
`2001, be treated as business confidential information and be kept separate from the
`
`file of IPR2018-01550 involving U.S. Patent 9,561,197. Concurrently with the
`
`filing of this Request, the Petitioner and Patent Owner are filing a Joint Motion to
`
`Terminate this inter partes review due to the settlement between the parties.
`
`Specifically, as the parties consider the settlement agreement to contain
`
`highly sensitive business confidential information that would substantially harm
`
`their business interests if publicly disclosed, the parties hereby jointly request that
`
`the settlement agreement be kept as a separate paper to be made available only
`
`under the provisions of 35 U.S.C § 317(b) and 37 C.F.R. § 42.74(c). The
`
`settlement agreement has been filed for access by the “Parties and Board Only.”
`
`The parties further jointly request that the Board order that in the event a person or
`
`entity makes a written request, as stated in 37 C.F.R. § 42.74(c)(1)-(2), for access
`
`to the settlement agreement, that any such written request be served upon the
`
`parties on the day the written request is provided to the Board.
