`
`
`On August 29, 2018, we requested the parties to meet and confer
`
`regarding Patent Owner’s proposed discovery request. Paper 9, 3−4.3 In the
`
`prior Order, we also indicated that, if an agreement is not reached as a result
`
`of the meet and confer, Patent Owner was authorized to file a motion for
`
`additional discovery, Petitioner was authorized to file an opposition, and
`
`Patent Owner was authorized to file a reply. Id.
`
`On September 12, 2018, the parties jointly emailed the Board to
`
`inform us that “the parties have reached a mutually acceptable agreement
`
`and compromise on the currently pending discovery dispute, avoiding the
`
`need for additional briefing or Board intervention.” Ex. 3001. We thank the
`
`parties for working together to resolve this discovery dispute.
`
`In view of the parties’ agreement, a motion for additional discovery is
`
`not necessary. As such, our prior authorization (Paper 9, 3−4) for filing a
`
`motion for additional discovery, an opposition, and a reply is hereby
`
`withdrawn.
`
`Should Patent Owner file a paper or evidence, under seal, that
`
`includes Petitioner’s confidential information, the parties are authorized to
`
`file a joint motion to seal, along with a jointly proposed protective order
`
`(such as the default protective order set forth in the Office Patent Trial
`
`Practice Guide, 77 Fed. Reg. 48,756, Appendix B (Aug. 14, 2012)), and a
`
`redacted version of the paper or evidence that is available to the public. For
`
`further guidance, the parties are directed to Argentum Pharm. LLC v. Alcon
`
`
`3 We cite to the record in IPR2018-01106, unless otherwise noted.
