`within ten (10) business days of the entry of this Order, a notice identifying
`

`
`information. If any confidential information is identified, Petitioner and
`
`Patent Owner are to file jointly a proposed redacted version of the decision
`
`with their joint notice.
`
`We remind the parties that documents in a proceeding may be made
`
`available to the public. 37 C.F.R. § 42.14.
`
`In consideration of the foregoing, it is hereby:
`
`ORDERED that, within ten (10) business days of the entry of this

`Order, Petitioner and Patent Owner are to file jointly in IPR2018-00741,
`
`IPR2018-00742, IPR2018-00743, and IPR2018-00744 a notice that either
`
`(1) identifies any confidential information that is mentioned in the decision
`
`denying institution, or (2) states that the decision does not contain any
`
`confidential information; and
`
`FURTHER ORDERED that, if any confidential information is
`
`identified by the parties in the decision denying institution, Patent Owner
`
`and Petitioner are to file jointly a proposed redacted decision with their joint
`
`notice.
