`Patent 6,992,667 B2
`
`
`The trial in IPR2015-01029 was terminated on August 3, 2016. Paper
`
`38. Patent Owner now moves to expunge from the record the unredacted,
`sealed versions of the paper and exhibits listed in Appendix A of its Motion,
`namely Patent Owner’s Preliminary Response, Exhibit 2001, Exhibit 2002,
`and Exhibit 2005. Paper 39. Patent Owner avers that Petitioner does not
`oppose this motion. Id. at 1. Patent Owner represents that these documents
`contain technical information about the design and operation of its products.
`Id. at 1–2. As noted by Patent Owner, we did not rely on any protected
`information in our Decision on Institution. Id. at 1.
`
`“A party seeking to maintain the confidentiality of information . . .
`may file a motion to expunge the information from the record prior to the
`information becoming public.” Office Patent Trial Practice Guide, 77 Fed.
`Reg. 48,756, 48,761 (Aug. 14, 2012) (citing 37 C.F.R. § 42.56). In the
`instant case, we did not rely upon the redacted portions of Patent Owner’s
`Preliminary Response, nor Exhibits 2001, 2002, and 2005, when instituting
`trial or in terminating these proceedings. See Paper 8; Paper 38.
`Accordingly, we determine that Patent Owner’s unopposed motion should
`be granted.
`
`
`
`In consideration of the foregoing, it is:
`ORDERED that Patent Owner’s unopposed motion to expunge Patent
`
`Owner’s Preliminary Response, Exhibit 2001, Exhibit 2002, and Exhibit
`2005 is granted;
`FURTHER ORDERED that Patent Owner’s Preliminary Response
`(Paper 7) shall be expunged from the record;
`

`
`
`
`
`IPR2015-01029
`Patent 6,992,667 B2
`
`
`FURTHER ORDERED that redacted Patent Owner’s Preliminary
`
`Response (Paper 17) shall remain in the record of this proceeding;
`FURTHER ORDERED that confidential Exhibit 2001, confidential
`Exhibit 2002, and confidential Exhibit 2005 shall be expunged from the
`record; and
`
`FURTHER ORDERED that redacted Exhibit 2001, redacted Exhibit
`2002 and redacted Exhibit 2005 shall remain in the record of this
`proceeding.
