I have reviewed Google’s Reply Brief regarding its Daubert Motion (“Reply”) (Dkt. No.

S C H I L L E R
I make this declaration based on my own personal knowledge. If called as a witness, I
could and would testify competently as to the matters set forth herein.
6
B O I E S ,
I am in-house counsel for Oracle America, Inc. (“Oracle”). My title is Senior Patent
papers.

4.
The redacted material on page 8:12 through 8:14 of the Reply refers to a document that
10
Google attached to its Daubert motion as Exhibit H to the Weingaertner Declaration In Support Of
11
Google, Inc.’s Daubert Motion (hereinafter “Weingaertner Decl.”): Oracle’s Form CO to the European
12
Commission discussing its acquisition of Sun. As I described in my previous Declaration, (see
13
Declaration of Matthew Sarboraria In Response To Google’s Administrative Motion To Seal
14
(hereinafter “First Sarboraria Decl.”) ¶ 8 (Dkt. No. 184)), the European Commission employs special
15
confidentiality procedures to protect the information of the companies seeking merger review, and the
16
version that Google attached to its Daubert motion has not been made public. I understand that this
17
Court has already held that this document should remain under seal. (Dkt. Nos. 186, 203.) However,
18
the sentences that Google has redacted contain only very general information derived from this
19
document, and making those sentences public would not jeopardize Oracle’s confidential information.
20
Therefore, Oracle does not request that redacted material on page 8:12 through 8:14 remain redacted
21
from its Reply, although Oracle does not waive its claim to the confidentiality of the underlying
22
document. Oracle would not object to an order requiring Google to unredact these two sentences from
23
its Reply.
24
5.
The redacted material on page 8:14 through 8:17 of the Reply refers to a document that
25
Google attached to its Daubert motion as Exhibit I to the Weingaertner Declaration. As I previously
26
described, Exhibit I is a proprietary Oracle spreadsheet setting forth the contract terms with
27
manufacturers licensing Java as well as related financial forecasts and business strategies. (First
28
Sarboraria Decl. ¶ 6 (Dkt. No. 184).) Oracle does not make these kinds of documents public in the
1
SARBORARIA DECL. ISO GOOGLE’S ADMIN MOTION TO SEAL PORTIONS OF DAUBERT REPLY
CASE NO. CV 10-03561 WHA
documents, and therefore requests that the redacted material on page 8:14 through 8:17 of the Reply
6
remain under seal.

The redacted material on page 8:18 through 8:20 of the Reply refers to the Report of

Professor Iain Cockburn, and discusses proposed terms of a license that Oracle and Google negotiated
9
in 2006. While Oracle continues to believe that Professor Cockburn’s report should be sealed, (see
10
First Sarboraria Decl. ¶ 10 (describing reasons to seal report); Dkt. No. 186 (sealing report)), the first of
11
the two redacted sentences is too general to jeopardize any Oracle confidential information. Moreover,
12
it is public knowledge that Oracle and Google negotiated for a license for Android. (See First
13
Sarboraria Decl. ¶ 10 (“the fact that Google engaged in licensing negotiations with Oracle [has] almost
14
always been public information.”).) However, the last sentence in the paragraph refers to the proposed
15
terms of the license that the parties negotiated, which reflects the parties’ demands and positioning in
16
the negotiations. Oracle does not disclose this kind of information in the ordinary course of business,
17
and Oracle believes that disclosure of that information would give an unfair advantage to Oracle’s
18
negotiating counterparties. Oracle therefore requests that only the last sentence, reflected on page 8:19
19
through 8:20, remain under seal. Oracle would not object to an order requiring Google to unredact the
20
sentence found at page 8:18 through 8:19 from its Reply.
21
7.
Google’s citations for the redacted material on page 8:26 through 8:28 make no sense.
22
Although Google claims that the redacted information is derived from Oracle’s July 1, 2010 10-K form,
23
which is obviously public, the figures it describes do not exist in that document. Instead, Google has
24
cited to Exhibit J to the Weingaertner Declaration, which contains not Oracle’s 10-K filing but a sealed
25
third-party accounting document. Paragraph 19 of the Weingaertner Declaration, which Google also
26
cites, refers to an unrelated public website. To the best of Oracle’s ability to discern, the information
27
that Google has redacted was contained in Weingaertner Declaration Exhibit J, a third-party accounting
28
document from Duff & Phelps that Oracle commissioned in connection with its acquisition of Sun

Microsystems, Inc. As I previously described, Oracle has promised to keep this material confidential,
2
and the material contained therein is competitively sensitive. (First Sarboraria Decl. ¶ 9.) I understand
3
that this Court has already held that this document should remain under seal. (Dkt. No. 186.) Oracle
4
therefore requests that the redacted material on page 8:26 through 8:28 remain under seal.

The redacted material contained on page 9:2 through 9:9 refer to two different

6
Sarboraria In Support Of Oracle America, Inc.’s Administrative Motion to File Under Seal Portions Of
9
Opposition To Google’s Daubert Motion at ¶ 5, 6.) I have explained why those third-party valuation
10
documents are competitively sensitive. (Id.; see also First Sarboraria Decl. at ¶ 8, 9.) I understand that
11
this Court has previously held those documents should remain under seal. (Dkt. Nos. 186, 203.) Once
12
again, although Google characterizes the statements in Oracle’s public 10-K filing, it is mistaken. The
13
information it refers to cannot be found in that public document. Oracle therefore requests that the
14
redacted material on page 9:2 through 9:9 remain under seal.
15
9.
Finally, Google has redacted a single clause from page 13:3 through 13:4. That
16
information obliquely refers to the licensing terms on which Oracle has licensed Java in the past, and
17
thus should remain under seal for the reasons described above in paragraph 5.
