Judge Richard G. Andrews recently rejected a defendant’s motion to redact certain portions of an oral argument transcript relating to alleged inequitable conduct. St. Jude Medical Cardiology Division Inc., et al. v. Volcano Corp., C.A. No. 12-441-RGA (D. Del. June 17, 2013). Judge Andrews noted that the defendant had not provided any argument as to why the information should be redacted, other than a bare claim that it was highly confidential, and in denying the motion explained: “[n]o harm is alleged, and, indeed, it is apparent to me that there could not be any harm from the disclosure of specific allegations of inequitable conduct years and years ago that would justify sealing the transcript.”
