`
`
`
`ORDER
`Expunging Confidential Information
`37 C.F.R. § 42.56
`
`
`
`
`
`
`CBM2016-00031
`Patent No. 7,813,996
`
`A Final Written Decision issued on February 17, 2017. Paper 47. On
`
`February 13, 2019, the Federal Circuit vacated1 the Final Written Decision, and the
`mandate issued on May 7, 2019. See Paper 54, 1. The Supreme Court denied a
`petition for writ of certiorari on October 7, 2019. Id. at 1–2.
`
`On October 10, 2019, Patent Owner filed an unopposed Motion to Expunge
`Exhibits 2294 and 2295 from the record pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.56. Paper 54.
`Exhibits 2294 and 2295 contain confidential information and are sealed. See
`Paper 52.
`Rule 42.56 provides “after final judgement in a trial, a party may file a
`motion to expunge confidential information from the record. Our Final Written
`Decision did not rely upon Exhibits 2294 and 2295. Under these circumstances,
`Patent Owner’s Motion to Expunge is granted.
`
`
`
`ORDER
`
`Accordingly, it is:
`
`ORDERED that Patent Owner’s Motion to Expunge (Paper 54) is
`granted; and
`FURTHER ORDERED that Exhibits 2294 and 2295 shall be expunged
`from the record.
`
`
`
`
`
`1 The Motion to Expunge mistakenly states that the Federal Circuit affirmed the
`Final Written Decision.
