`
`
`NOTICE OF FINAL WRITTEN DECISION
`I.
`Today, we issued a non-public version of a Final Written Decision
`(“Decision”) determining that MMODAL LLC has demonstrated, by a
`preponderance of the evidence, that claims 9–11 of U.S. Patent No.
`6,999,933 B2 are unpatentable. In the Decision, we also: 1) grant Patent
`Owner’s Motion to Seal and Entry of a Protective Order (Paper 20, “Motion
`to Seal”) and Petitioner’s Supplemental Motion to Seal (Paper 34,
`“Supplemental Motion to Seal”), and 2) order entry of a protective order—
`namely, the Board’s default protective order— in this proceeding. A public
`version of the Decision will issue in due course.
`II. ORDER CONCERNING THE PUBLIC AVAILABILITY OF
`THE FINAL WRITTEN DECISION
` The Final Written Decision has been entered as a non-public version
`because it may refer to information that is the subject of the Motion to Seal
`and Supplemental Motion to Seal. No later than ten (10) business days after
`entry of the Final Written Decision, the parties may identify which portions
`of the Final Written Decision, if any, should be redacted from a public
`version. To that end, the parties may make such an identification by jointly
`submitting via email a single PDF document containing all proposed
`redactions. The parties shall not file their proposed redactions in the dockets
`of these proceedings.
`If the parties agree that the Final Written Decision may be made
`publicly available without any redactions, the parties may notify the Board
`via email stating such within the same time frame. In the absence of a
`communication from the parties about any alleged confidentiality of the
`Final Written Decision during the ten-day period set forth above, the Board
`
`
`
`2
`
`
`
`IPR2018-01435
`Patent 6,999,933 B2
`
`will issue a public version of the Final Written Decision as originally
`entered.
`It is so ORDERED.
