`Granting Petitioner’s Motion to Seal

`Patent 9,659,472 B2
`
`
`On April 17, 2019, we granted Patent Owner’s Motion to Seal and for
`entry of a Protective Order. See Papers 15, 16; Ex. 2038 (the protective
`order entered in this proceeding). Before us now is Petitioner’s Motion to
`Seal, which seeks to seal Exhibit 1038. Paper 18 (“Motion” or “Mot.”).
`Exhibit 1038 is a Supplemental Declaration of Christopher Remy. Petitioner
`submitted a proposed redacted version of the Declaration (Ex. 1040) and
`seeks to seal only the redacted information. Mot. 3.
`When determining whether good cause exists for sealing the evidence,
`we balance the parties’ needs in protecting confidential information and the
`public’s interest in maintaining a complete and understandable record. Here,
`Christoper Remy, Chief Executive Officer of Petitioner, was deposed in a
`related proceeding and during that deposition he provided information that
`Petitioner considers to be of a sensistive nature to its business. Mot. 2–3.
`We previously sealed the transcript of Mr. Remy’s deposition along with
`certain other exhibits. See Paper 14, 16. Now, Petitioner seeks to seal
`portions of a supplemental declaration from Mr. Remy that provides updated
`information with respect to his previous testimony. Mot. 1–2. We note that
`the parties conferred and this Motion is unopposed. Id. at 4. We find that
`the information redacted is confidential business information, and given that
`Petitioner redacted the confidential business information, rather than seeking
`to seal the documents in their entirety, we find good cause to seal the
`redacted information.
`
`ORDER
`In consideration of the foregoing, it is hereby:
`ORDERED that Petitioner’s Motion to Seal (Paper 18) is granted.
