`
`Oral argument was held on November 13, 2018. Because the parties
`
`may have addressed information the parties consider confidential during oral
`argument, a transcript recording the arguments the parties presented has
`been filed as a sealed document.
`
`Our Rules for Trial Practice “aim to strike a balance between the
`public’s interest in maintaining a complete and understandable file history
`and the parties’ interest in protecting truly sensitive information.” See
`Office Patent Trial Practice Guide, 77 Fed. Reg. 48,756, 48,760 (Aug. 14,
`2012). Accordingly, “[t]he record of a proceeding, including documents and
`things, shall be made available to the public, except as otherwise ordered.”
`37 C.F.R. § 42.14.
`
`This Order is entered concurrently with a confidential transcript of the
`hearing for these proceedings. If either party identifies any material in the
`confidential transcript that should be redacted from a public version, the
`parties are hereby ordered to file jointly file a proposed redacted version of
`the oral hearing transcript to be made public by January 18, 2019. Absent a
`joint filing of a proposed redacted version of the oral hearing transcript by
`the deadline, the confidential transcript will be made public.
`
`ORDER
`In consideration of the foregoing, it is: ORDERED that the parties are
`
`ordered to jointly file a proposed redacted version of the oral hearing
`transcript by January 18, 2019.
