Before the Court is defendant Mentor Graphics Corporation’s (“Mentor”)
“Administrative Motion to File Under Seal Motion for Attorney Fees,” filed May 4, 2015,
pursuant to Civil Local Rule 79-5, by which Mentor seeks to file under seal, inter alia,
certain exhibits submitted in support of its motion for attorney fees, which documents have
been designated confidential by plaintiff Synopsys Inc. (“Synopsys”). By order filed May
13, 2015, the Court deferred ruling on the administrative motion to the extent it sought to
seal the entirety of Exhibit F to the declaration of Salumeh Loesch, pending Synopsys’ filing
a supplemental response providing for such document a redacted version limiting the
amount of material sought to be sealed. On May 22, 2015, Synopsys filed its supplemental
response. Having read and considered the supplemental response, the Court finds good
cause for the relief requested therein.
Accordingly, the Court hereby GRANTS the administrative motion to the extent it
seeks to seal portions of Exhibit F, and the requested portions of said exhibit may remain
under seal.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
