`

`Case IPR2017-01320
`Patent No. 6,786,418
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. §§ 42.14 and 42.54, Petitioner, CPI Card Group Inc.,
`
`respectfully submits this Motion to Seal all of its Exhibit 1013 and portions of its
`
`Exhibit 1006, which are being filed concurrently with this Motion. Good cause
`
`exists for sealing the identified documents in accordance with the Board’s Default
`
`Protective Order, to which Petitioner agrees to be bound.
`
`I. Good Cause Exists For Sealing The Identified Information
`
`Exhibit 1006 is Exhibit A to Gemalto S.A.’s Amended Infringement
`
`Contentions, dated October 13, 2016, served in co-pending litigation in the District
`
`of Colorado, Civil Action No. 1:16-cv-01006-RBJ, under a protective order.
`
`Exhibit 1013 is Transcript of Deposition Of François Maurel held April 20,
`
`2017, in the above identified co-pending litigation in the District of Colorado.
`
`Pursuant to the protective order in that litigation, counsel for the purported patent
`
`owner has requested that the entire deposition transcript be marked Confidential,
`
`Attorneys’ Eyes Only.
`
`Portion of Exhibit 1006 contain Petitioner’s confidential trade secret,
`
`business, and commercial information. More specifically, Exhibit 1006 contains
`
`confidential business and technical information about the composition and operation
`
`of Petitioner’s Card@Once® system. Public disclosure of this information would
`
`be commercially harmful to Petitioner. Moreover, the particular technical details of
`
`

`

`Case IPR2017-01320
`Patent No. 6,786,418
`
`this document are largely unimportant to the substantive merits of this proceeding,
`
`and the public’s interest in having access to the exhibit is minimal.
`
`The Petition references a few statements in Exhibit 1006 made by the
`
`purported Patent Owner, Gemalto, S.A. in regard to claim construction and in regard
`
`to the Goman reference (Exhibit 1001). None of the portions of Exhibit 1006 cited
`
`by Petitioner contain confidential information.
`
`Similarly, the Petition references a few statements in Exhibit 1013 made by
`
`Mr. François Maurel, the inventor identified on U.S. Patent 6,786,418. None of the
`
`portions of Exhibit 1013 cited by Petitioner contain confidential information.
`
`After counsel for the patent owner has been identified, Petitioner’s
`
`undersigned representative will contact said counsel to confer regarding the
`
`preparation and filing of redacted, non-confidential copies of Exhibits 1006 and
`
`1013, hopefully obviating the need for this motion and the sealing of Exhibits 1006
`
`and 1013.
`
`Accordingly, Petitioner requests an order sealing Exhibits 1006 and 1013.
`
`Dated: May 1, 2017
