`v.
`COTTRELL, INC.
`Patent Owner
`
`CASE IPR2017-00962
`Patent No. 7,585,140
`
`
`JOINT MOTION BY BOYDSTUN EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURING, LLC
`AND COTTRELL, INC. TO
`
`TREAT THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT AS BUSINESS
`CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION UNDER 35 U.S.C. § 317(b)
`
`
`
`Pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 317(b) and 37 C.F.R. § 42.74(c), Petitioner
`
`Boydstun Equipment Manufacturing, LLC (“Boydstun”) and Patent Owner
`
`Cottrell, Inc. (“Cottrell”) jointly request that the written settlement agreement
`
`being filed concurrently herewith as Confidential Exhibit EX20081 be treated as
`
`Business Confidential Information, which shall be kept separate from the file of the
`
`subject patent and be made available only as authorized by § 317(b). There is good
`
`cause to treat the settlement as Business Confidential Information because it
`
`contains competitively sensitive business information including the terms of
`
`settlement, the disclosure of which would harm the businesses of Boydstun and
`
`Cottrell. That is why the Agreement includes a strict confidentiality requirement in
`
`paragraph 7.
