`Patent 9,856,287
`
`______________________
`
`JOINT REQUEST TO TREAT SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT AS
`BUSINESS CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION PURSUANT TO
`35 U.S.C. § 317 AND TO KEEP SEPARATE
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 317(b) and 37 C.F.R. § 42.74(c), the parties jointly
`
`request that a true copy of their settlement agreement, filed concurrently as Exhibit
`
`1048, be treated as business confidential information, and be kept separate from
`
`the file of IPR2020-00314 involving U.S. Patent No. 9,856,287. Concurrently with
`
`this Request, the parties are filing a joint motion to terminate this inter partes
`
`review.
`
`Specifically, as the parties consider the settlement agreement to contain
`
`highly sensitive business confidential information that would substantially harm
`
`their business interests if publicly disclosed, the parties hereby jointly request that
`
`the settlement agreement be kept as a separate paper to be made available only as
`
`provided in 35 U.S.C. § 317(b) and 37 C.F.R. § 42.74(c). The settlement
`
`agreement has been filed for access by the "Board and Parties Only" and should
`
`not be made accessible to others.
`
`The parties further jointly request that the Board order that any written
`
`request by a person or entity, as stated in 37 C.F.R. § 42.74(c)(1)-(2), for access to
`
`the settlement agreement, must simultaneously be served upon Petitioners and
`
`Patent Owner on the day the written request is provided to the Board. To the
`
`extent this request is not granted, the parties respectfully request, in the alternative,
`
`that they be provided timely notice that the Board has received a request for access
`
`to the settlement agreement and, if requested pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.74(c)(2),
`
`
`
`
`
`of the nature of the requester's attempt to demonstrate "good cause," so that they
`
`may, as appropriate, seek to take further steps for continued confidentiality.
`
`Respectfully submitted by:
