`
`
`
`The Parties jointly request that the Board treat the Agreement (Exhibit 2018)
`
`as business confidential information and keep them separate from the file of the
`
`involved patent. The Parties further request that the Board not make the
`
`Agreement available to any third-party, except as provided for in 35 U.S.C. §
`
`327(b) and 37 C.F.R. § 42.74.
`
`

`
`
`The Parties have executed the Agreement regarding their dispute relating to
