Those materials have been designated confidential by Overture, and under the terms of the protective order entered in this case on December 18, 2002, Google cannot file these materials publicly. See Protective Order ¶ 6. The non-confidential exhibits to which Google cites in its Responsive Brief are attached to the Declaration of Michael S. Kwun, which is being publicly filed. A redacted Responsive Brief, omitting reference to the exhibits to the Sun Declaration, is also being publicly filed. In light of the foregoing, Google respectfully submits that this Request to File Documents Under Seal is narrowly tailored within the meaning of Civil Local Rule 79-5. Google therefore requests that the Court permit the sealing of the documents set forth above, and order that the Clerk of the Court maintain them in accordance with the provisions of Local Civil Rule 79-5(e).
