`
`I. ANALYSIS
`Petitioner previously filed motions to seal Exhibit 1065 and portions
`of its Reply in each of the captioned cases. See, e.g., IPR2017-01186, Paper
`37. We denied that motion without prejudice because 1) Petitioner did not
`explain sufficiently why the information in Exhibit 1065 and its Replies is
`confidential; and 2) certain information in Exhibit 1065 appeared to be
`public information. See, e.g., IPR2017-01186, Paper 45, 3. Rather than file
`a revised motion to seal, Petitioner filed entirely public versions of Exhibit
`1065 and its Replies. See, e.g., IPR2017-01186, Paper 47. As a result, the
`original sealed versions of Exhibit 1065 and the original sealed and redacted
`versions of the Replies can be expunged from the record in the captioned
`cases.
`Also, we previously issued a sealed Decision Denying Institution of
`Inter Partes Review in each of the captioned cases. We requested that the
`parties jointly submit redacted public versions of the Decisions, and the
`parties did so via email. We find it appropriate to enter the redacted public
`versions of the Decisions in each of the captioned cases.
`II. ORDER
`
`It is hereby
`FURTHER ORDERED that the original sealed versions of the Replies
`(IPR2017-01186, Paper 38; IPR2017-01197, Paper 37; IPR2017-01200,
`Paper 39; IPR2017-01213, Paper 37; IPR2017-01214, Paper 37; IPR2017-
`01219, Paper 38) are expunged;

`

`FURTHER ORDERED that the original public versions of the Replies
`(IPR2017-01186, Paper 39; IPR2017-01197, Paper 38; IPR2017-01200,
`Paper 40; IPR2017-01213, Paper 38; IPR2017-01214, Paper 38; IPR2017-
`01219, Paper 39) are expunged;
`FURTHER ORDERED that the original sealed versions of Exhibit
`1065 are expunged; and
`FURTHERED ORDERED that a redacted public version of the
`Decision Denying Institution of Inter Partes Review is entered in the record.
