ADMINISTRATIVE MOTION FOR FILING UNDER SEAL Pursuant to Civil Local Rules 7-11 and 79-5 (b), RealNetworks, Inc. and RealNetworks Home Entertainment, Inc. (collectively "RealNetworks") respectfully request an order to file under seal the following document: Exhibit A to RealNetworks, Inc. and RealNetworks Home Entertainment, Inc.'s Deposition Designations for Andrew Parsons for the Preliminary Injunction Proceeding. A "compelling reason" exists to seal the exhibit. Kamakana v. City and County of Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172, 1178 (9th Cir. 2006) (holding that aside from grand jury transcripts and warrant materials, "[a] party seeking to seal a judicial record. . .bears the burden of overcoming the `compelling reasons' standard"). Trade secrets and other confidential research, development, or commercial information may properly be protected by the court. See Fed.R.Civ.P. 26(c). Here, the exhibit filed under seal contains RealNetworks' propriety business, technical and trade secret information relating to RealDVD and the New Platform. Further, they contain propriety business, technical and trade secret information of the defendants and third parties. Additionally, much of the material has been designated "confidential" or "highly confidential" under the stipulated protective order governing this action. RealNetworks has made conscientious efforts to seal only the confidential or highly confidential material necessary to protect its sensitive business, technical or personal information, as well as the sensitive information of the other parties. Thus, this Administrative Motion to Seal is narrowly tailored to preserve the public's interest in accessing judicial records. Kamakana, 447 F.3d at 1178. Therefore, the Court should grant this administrative motion.
