`
`and select supporting exhibits opposing Patent Owner’s Motion to Disqualify

`In support of this motion, Petitioner states as follows:

`
`Patent Owner’s Motion to Disqualify Alan James, Ph.D. discuss,
`
`contain, or otherwise refer to information that has been designated by
`
`the Patent Owner as Protective Order Material. Good cause exists for
`
`sealing each of these exhibits until the Board determines that the
`
`documents or information do not qualify for confidential treatment:
`
`a. Paper 18 – Petitioner’s Opposition to Patent Owner’s Motion to
`
`Disqualify Alan James, Ph.D. Paper 18 substantively discusses
`
`the content of exhibits that have been designated by Patent
`
`Owner as Protective Order Material in their entirety (BEI
`
`Exhibits 2009, 2010, and 2012); and
`
`b. Exhibit 1040 – A Supplemental Declaration of Dr. Alan James
`
`Responsive the Declaration of William F. O’Leary (BEI Ex.
`1
`
`

`

`Case No. IPR2017-01241
`U.S. Patent No. 7,503,724
`
`2010). Petitioner’s Exhibit 1040 substantively discusses the
`
`content of exhibits that have been designated by Patent Owner
`
`as Protective Order Material in their entirety (BEI Exhibits
`
`2009, 2010, and 2012).
`
`2. Non-confidential versions of Paper 18 and Exhibit 1040, in which
`
`confidential information as described above has been redacted, are
`
`being filed together with this motion to seal. See Protective Order at
`
`5(a)(ii).
