WESTERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS
FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS
AUSTIN DIVISION AD
BY: ________________________________
DEPUTY
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 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 be labeled “PUBLIC VERSION.” Cooperating to file 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 (
[email protected]).
SIGNED this 13th day of February, 2025.
ALAN D ALBRIGHT
UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
