NETWORK PROTECTION SCIENCES,

ORDER DENYING
MOTION TO SEAL
(DKT. NO. 291)

v.
FORTINET, INC.,
Defendant.
/

14
15

On September 17, defendant Fortinet filed a motion to seal documents in support of the

16

parties’ paired motions in liminie and oppositions (Dkt. No. 291). Fortinet filed a declaration

17

with the motion to seal stating that the information to be sealed pertained to Fortinet’s

18

confidential source code, confidential technical documents, and business information. Most of

19

the redactions in the 15 documents the parties seek to file under seal appear reasonable. Some of

20

the redactions, however, are overbroad and improper. For example, on page 46 of Dkt. No. 284-

21

18 Fortinet has redacted information relating to the purchase price of the ’601 patent before it

22

was owned by plaintiff Network Protection Sciences, LLC. The motion to seal is accordingly

23

DENIED. Fortinet may resubmit revised redactions by SEPTEMBER 26 AT NOON. Untimely

24

submissions or overbroad redactions will result in the subject documents being filed in full on

25

the public docket.

26

IT IS SO ORDERED.
