Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 7-11 and 79-5, DVD Copy Control Association, Inc. ("DVD CCA") respectfully applies for an order sealing the following documents: (1) Highly Confidential Version of Response Memorandum in Support of Motion of DVD Copy Control Association for Preliminary Injunction; (2) Exhibits 1 to 9 to the Declaration of Maria Ellinikos in Support of the Response Brief; (3) Declaration of John P.J. Kelly, Ph. D in Support of the Response Brief; and (4) Paragraph 4 to the Declaration of Jacob Pak in Support of the Response Brief. A "compelling reason" exists to seal these documents. See Kamakana v. City and County of Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172, 1178 (9th Cir. 2006) (holding that "[a] party seeking to seal a judicial record . . . bears the burden of overcoming the `compelling reasons' standard"); Foltz v. State Farm Mut. Auto. Ins. Co., 331 F.3d 1122, 1135-36 (9th Cir. 2003). The confidential material at issue divulges aspects of DVD CCA's proprietary business, technical, and trade secret information regarding its Content Scramble System ("CSS") technology. Additionally, the confidential material also divulges aspects of Real's proprietary business, technical and trade secret information regarding RealDVD and its new platform. This material has been designated by Real as "confidential" or "highly confidential" pursuant to the protective order governing this litigation, and is thus being manually filed under seal. This Application to Seal is narrowly tailored to protect the public's interest in access to judicial records and the public policies favoring disclosure. Kamakana, 447 F.3d at 1178. DVD CCA has filed with the Court identical public redacted versions of the Response Memorandum in Support of its Motion for Preliminary Injunction, the Declaration of Maria Ellinikos in Support of the Response Brief and the Declaration of Jacob Pak in Support of the Response Brief.
