`

`
`
`IPR2017-00244 (Pat. 6,198,759)
`Joint Request to Treat Settlement Agreement as Business Confidential Information
`
`
`
`Pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 317(b), 37 C.F.R. § 42.74(c), and in full compliance
`
`with the Board’s authorization of March 28, 2017 (see Exhibit 1007), Petitioner
`
`Iradion Laser, Inc. (“Iradion”) and Patent Owner Novanta Corp. (“Novanta”)
`
`(collectively, the “Parties”) jointly request that the Parties’ confidential Settlement
`
`Agreement (Exhibit 1008) referenced in the concurrently-filed Joint Motion to
`
`Terminate Proceedings be treated as business confidential information. The Parties
`
`further jointly request that the confidential Settlement Agreement be kept separate
`
`from the file of the patent involved in this proceeding—U.S. Patent No.
`
`6,198,759—and be made available only to Federal Government agencies on
`
`written request or to persons showing good cause. See 35 U.S.C. § 317(b); 37
`
`C.F.R. § 42.74(c).
`
`A true copy of the Settlement Agreement entered into between the Parties on
`
`March 15, 2017, has been submitted as Exhibit 1008 with the Parties’ Joint Motion
`
`to Terminate.
`
` That Settlement Agreement contains business confidential
`
`information of both Parties, including highly confidential details of Iradion’s
`
`product designs and an unpublished patent application of Iradion. Additionally,
`
`the Parties have both agreed to not disclose the terms of the Settlement Agreement.
`
`See Exhibit 1008 at § 14.1.
