`Conduct of the Proceedings

`
`
`1 This decision addresses an issue that is identical in each case. We, therefore,

`otherwise authorized, the parties, however, are not authorized to use this heading
`style for any subsequent papers. Record citations herein refer to IPR2014-00171.

`
`
`
`As discussed during a June 13, 2014 conference call, the decision denying
`
`institution of the inter partes review stated that parties may request jointly that a
`
`redacted version of the decision be issued as the public decision.2 The parties
`
`conferred regarding potential redactions and submitted a proposed redacted version
`
`of the decision. Paper 52.
`
`
`
`The Board has reviewed the proposed redacted decision and holds that it
`
`strikes the appropriate balance between the public’s interest in maintaining a
`
`complete and understandable file history and the parties’ interest in protecting
`
`sensitive information. Accordingly, the Board enters the redacted decision and
`
`orders that the redacted decision be made available to the public.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`2 This Order summarizes the conference call. A more complete record may be
`found in the transcript, which is Ex. 1079.
