`
`ORDER
`Expunging Confidential Information
`37 C.F.R. § 42.56
`
`
`
`
`
`
`1 Case CBM2016-00040 has been joined with this proceeding.
`

`CBM2015-00172
`Patent No. 7,783,556 B1
`
`
`
`
`A Final Written Decision issued on March 31, 2017. Paper 86. On April 30,
`
`2019, the Federal Circuit affirmed the Final Written Decision, and the mandate
`
`issued on August 7, 2019. See Paper 90, 3. No writ of certiorari was timely filed
`
`with the Supreme Court. Id.
`
`
`
`On October 2, 2019, Patent Owner filed an unopposed Motion to Expunge
`
`Paper 34 and Exhibits 2143–2151, 2154, and 2156–2158 from the record pursuant
`
`to 37 C.F.R. § 42.56. Paper 90. Paper 34 and Exhibits 2143–2151, 2154, and
`
`2156–2158 contain Patent Owner’s confidential information and are sealed. See
`
`Papers 33, 84.
`
`Rule 42.56 provides “after final judgement in a trial, a party may file a
`
`motion to expunge confidential information from the record.” Paper 34 is a
`
`Motion for Additional Discovery, and a version of the Motion for Additional
`
`Discovery with the confidential information redacted appears in the public record
`
`as Paper 32. Our Final Written Decision did not rely upon Exhibits 2143–2151,
`
`2154, and 2156–2158. Under these circumstances, Patent Owner’s Motion to
`
`Expunge is granted.
`
`
`
`
`
`Accordingly, it is:
`
`ORDER
`
`
`
`ORDERED that Patent Owner’s Motion to Expunge (Paper 90) is
`
`granted; and
`
`FURTHER ORDERED that Paper 34 and Exhibits 2143–2151, 2154,
`
`and 2156–2158 shall be expunged from the record.
