`
`Case IPR2017-00444
`Patent 6,915,560 B2
`____________
`
`
`Before NEIL T. POWELL, JAMES A. TARTAL, and
`STACY B. MARGOLIES, Administrative Patent Judges.
`
`TARTAL, Administrative Patent Judge.
`
`
`
`DECISION
`
`Granting Joint Motion for Entry of Stipulated Protective Order
`37 C.F.R. §§ 42.14 and 42.54
`
`
`
`
`
`As authorized by the Case Management and Scheduling Order
`
`(Paper 10, 2), Edwards Lifesciences Corporation (“Petitioner”) and Boston
`
`Scientific Scimed, Inc., (“Patent Owner”), (collectively, “the Parties”),
`
`jointly move for entry of a proposed Stipulated Protective Order. Paper 14
`
`(“Motion” or “Mot.”); see also Paper 14, attached Ex. 1 ([Proposed]
`
`
`
`IPR2017-00444
`Patent 6,915,560 B2
`
`Stipulated Protective Order).1
`
`Upon review of the Motion we determine that the Parties have
`
`identified sufficiently how the proposed Stipulated Protective Order departs
`
`from the Board’s default protective order set forth in the Office Patent Trial
`
`Practice Guide, 77 Fed. Reg. 48756, 48769–71 (Aug. 14, 2012). Paper 14,
`
`2–5, attached Ex. 2 (comparing the proposed Stipulated Protective Order to
`
`the Board’s default protective order). Upon further review of the proposed
`
`Stipulated Protective Order, we find that the parties have shown sufficiently
`
`good cause for the proposed modifications from the Board’s default
`
`protective order and that the proposed Stipulated Protective Order is
`
`warranted.
`
`Accordingly, it is
`
`ORDERED that the Joint Motion for Entry of Stipulated Protective
`
`Order (Paper 14) is granted;
`
`FURTHER ORDERED that the Stipulated Protective Order (Paper
`
`14, attached Ex. 1) submitted jointly by the parties is hereby entered; and
`
`FURTHER ORDERED that the Stipulated Protective Order (Paper
`
`14, attached Ex. 1) shall govern the conduct of the proceeding unless
`
`otherwise modified by the Board.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`1 The Parties are advised that any exhibit to any paper must be filed as a
`separate document as an exhibit with an independent exhibit number, not as
`an attachment to the paper being filed.
