STANDING ORDER REGARDING FILING DOCUMENTS UNDER SEAL
AND REDACTED PUBLIC VERSIONS

This Order applies to all patent cases pending before the undersigned. As a public forum,
the Court has a policy of providing to the public full access to documents filed with the Court.
Because parties in patent cases routinely file confidential information, this Order grants leave for
any party in a patent case to file materials containing confidential information under seal. Parties
need not file a separate motion for leave.

The filing party shall file a publicly available, redacted version of any motion or pleading
filed under seal within seven days. The parties need not file redacted versions of exhibits to such
documents. Exhibits that are nonconfidential in their entirety should not be filed under seal at all.
The parties shall coordinate to make sure that the publicly available version redacts information
that any party deems confidential. Redactions should be targeted to redact only that information.
The publicly available version shall not be deemed as agreeing that the redacted information is
confidential.

The Court will enter a sealed order to resolve a motion if either party filed its briefing
under seal. The movant shall email a redacted version of the Court’s sealed order for publication
within seven days after the Court enters the sealed Order. The movant shall email the redacted,
public version to the Court’s law clerk (txwdml_nojudge_chambers_md_judgecounts@txwd.uscourts.gov).

It is so ORDERED.

SIGNED this2Te day of August, 2026.
