`
`
`INTRODUCTION
`I.
`TeleSign Corporation (“Petitioner”) and Twilio Inc. (“Patent Owner”)
`filed a Joint Motion for Modification of Default Protective Order. Paper 232
`(“Motion” or “Mot.”). The parties request entry of a proposed Protective
`Order that differs from the Board’s default Protective Order. Id. at 2. The
`parties submit a clean version of the proposed Protective Order as Appendix
`A to the Motion and a redline version of the proposed Protective Order as
`Appendix B to the Motion. Id. at Appx. A, Appx. B. For the reasons
`discussed below, the Motion is granted.
`II. ANALYSIS
`The parties previously filed a joint motion for entry of a protective
`order. Paper 19, 2. We denied that motion without prejudice because of
`certain proposed modifications to Sections 4(A)(i), (ii) of the Board’s default
`Protective Order. Id. at 2–5. We explained that the parties may submit
`another joint motion for entry of a protective order with a proposed
`Protective Order that omits those specific proposed modifications to
`Sections 4(A)(i), (ii) of the default Protective Order, and also clarifies
`Section 3 of the proposed Protective Order (which adds a designation for
`Highly Confidential information) to indicate that the individuals identified in
`Sections 2(F), 2(G) shall have access to such information without the
`requirement to sign an Acknowledgement. Id. at 5–6. The parties’ current
`Motion includes a proposed Protective Order that is consistent with our
`previous instructions. Mot. 1–2, Appx. B. Therefore, after considering the
`
`
`2 We cite to the record of IPR2017-01976, unless otherwise noted.

`ORDERED that the Motion (IPR2017-01976, Paper 23; IPR2017-
`01977, Paper 24) is granted; and

`Appendix A to the Motion (IPR2017-01976, Paper 23; IPR2017-01977,
`Paper 24) is entered in the above-identified proceedings.
