`Conduct of the Proceeding

`PGR2017-00012
`Patent 9,498,419 B2
`
`
`
`On June 27, 2018, we entered our original Final Written Decision in
`this proceeding. Paper 102. On October 30, 2020, following an appeal to
`the Federal Circuit and the remand of the proceeding to us, we entered a new
`Final Written Decision on Remand. Paper 116. We entered both of those
`decisions under seal because they referenced information that the parties
`filed under seal in this proceeding. The parties have now moved jointly to
`unseal both the original Final Written Decision and the Final Written
`Decision on Remand, arguing that any material that once was confidential
`has since been made public. Paper 117. Given the parties’ agreement that
`there is no longer any non-public information in either decision, we grant the
`motion to unseal the decisions.
`
`In consideration of the foregoing, it is hereby:
`ORDERED that a copy of the original Final Written Decision (Paper
`102) shall be made publicly available; and
`FURTHER ORDERED that a copy of the Final Written Decision on
`Remand (Paper 116) shall be made publicly available.
