[proposed] ORDER GRANTING VERIGY'S ADMINISTRATIVE MOTION FOR LEAVE TO FILE DOCUMENTS UNDER SEAL

CASE NO. C07 01942 MHP

Now before the Court is Ricoh's Administrative Motion for Leave to File Documents Under Seal. Upon consideration of the Administrative Motion for Leave to File Documents Under Seal and the supporting declaration of Donald P. Gagliardi filed therewith, the Court finds good cause for granting Ricoh's request to file documents under seal. The Court finds that: a. The parties possess an overriding confidentiality interest that overcomes the

right of public access to the record in the following documents: Confidential Patent License Agreement between Ricoh Company, Ltd. and ASUSTeK Computer, Inc. dated September 9, 2008; and Confidential Settlement Agreement between Ricoh Company, Ltd. and ASUSTeK Computer, Inc. dated September 9, 2008 b. c. The parties' overriding confidentiality interests support sealing the record; A substantial probability exists that the parties' overriding confidentiality

interest will be prejudiced if the record is not sealed; d. e. The proposed sealing is narrowly tailored; and No less restrictive means exist to achieve this overriding interest.

IT IS ORDERED that Ricoh's Motion for Leave to File Documents Under Seal is GRANTED. SO ORDERED.
