`
`ORDER
`Expunging Confidential Information
`37 C.F.R. § 42.56
`
`
`
`
`
`
`CBM2015-00182
`Patent No. 6,772,132
`
`A Final Written Decision issued on February 28, 2017. Paper 129. On
`February 13, 2019, the Federal Circuit vacated1 the Final Written Decision, and the
`mandate issued on May 7, 2019. See Paper 142, 2. The Supreme Court denied a
`petition for writ of certiorari on October 7, 2019. Id.
`
`On October 10, 2019, Patent Owner filed an unopposed Motion to Expunge
`Papers 53, 61, and 66 and Exhibits 2169, 2172, 2224, 2225, 2232, 2247, 2270
`2286, 2294, and 2295 from the record pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.56. Paper 142.
`Papers 53, 61, and 66 and Exhibits 2169, 2172, 2224, 2225, 2232, 2247, 2270
`2286, 2294, and 2295 contain confidential information and are sealed. See Papers
`93, 130.
`Rule 42.56 provides “after final judgement in a trial, a party may file a
`motion to expunge confidential information from the record.” Paper 53 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 51. Papers 61 and 66 are the Patent Owner’s Response and Corrected
`Patent Owner’s Response, respectively, and versions with the confidential
`information redacted appear in the public record as Papers 62 and 67. The public
`record also contains redacted versions of Exhibit 2169, a Declaration of
`Christopher Thomas, and Exhibit 2172, a Declaration of Jay Knobloch. Our Final
`Written Decision did not rely upon the redacted information from these Papers or
`Exhibits 2169 and 2172. It also does not rely upon Exhibits 2224, 2225, 2232,
`2247, 2270, 2286, 2294, and 2295. Under these circumstances, Patent Owner’s
`Motion to Expunge is granted.
`
`
`1 The Motion to Expunge mistakenly states that the Federal Circuit affirmed the
`Final Written Decision.
