`
`PATENT OWNER’S MOTION TO SEAL
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Case IPR2016-01901
`U.S. Patent No. 8,450,249 B2
`
`Patent Owner LiquidPower Specialty Products, Inc. (“LSPI”) hereby moves
`
`to seal a sentence, and its accompanying citation, in its Opposition to Petitioner’s
`
`Motion for Additional Discovery.
`
`Counsel for LSPI provided the aforementioned sentence and citation to
`
`counsel for Baker prior to the filing of the instant motion and inquired whether
`
`Baker contends that the sentence contains confidential information under the
`
`Protective Order. Counsel for Baker responded that the sentence and citation
`
`“contain confidential information that warrants filing under and seal and redaction
`
`in a publicly-filed version, for at least the reason that the citation is to 32 pages of a
`
`document (the Patent Owner Response) that LSPI itself designated as containing
`
`confidential information subject to the protective order.” In addition, the sentence
`
`refers to documents produced by non-party Flowchem LLC (“Flowchem”), which
`
`have been designated by Flowchem as confidential or highly confidential under the
`
`Protective Order. Accordingly, LSPI moves to seal the sentence and citation.
`
`LSPI is filing an unredacted copy of LSPI’s Opposition to Petitioner’s
`
`Motion for Additional Discovery, for the Board and Parties only, concurrently
`
`herewith. LSPI also is filing a redacted copy of LSPI’s Opposition to Petitioner’s
`
`Motion for Additional Discovery, with the aforementioned sentence and citation
`
`redacted, for access by the public concurrently herewith.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Case IPR2016-01901
`U.S. Patent No. 8,450,249 B2
`
`On behalf of LSPI, the undersigned counsel certifies that the
`
`information sought to be sealed by this motion has not, to their knowledge, been
`
`published or otherwise made public.
