`
`
`Final Written Decisions were issued in each of the subject cases.
`Petitioner filed a Motion to Expunge certain materials filed under seal in
`each of the subject cases.
`We recognize Petitioner’s concern that its confidential information
`may be made public.1 The time for appeal in the subject cases, however, has
`not yet expired. Accordingly, we explicitly order the record to be preserved
`until after the resolution of any appeal or time for appeal. After such time, if
`either party believes any materials should be expunged from the record, the
`party should contact the Board.
`
`ORDER
`
`
`
`It is hereby:
`ORDERED that Petitioner’s Motion to Expunge Confidential
`Information (IPR2014-00935, Paper 66; IPR2014-00936, Paper 68;
`IPR2014-00938, Paper 70) is denied in each of the subject cases; and
`FURTHER ORDERED that the evidence and papers under seal in
`IPR2014-00935, IPR2014-00936, and IPR2014-00938 will remain under
`seal for sufficient time to allow appellate review of the entire record.
`
`
`1 The Office Patent Trial Practice Guide, 77 Fed. Reg. 48,756, 48,761 (Aug.
`14, 2012), states that confidential information subject to a protective order
`ordinarily would become public 45 days “after final judgment in a trial.”
