Pursuant to Civil Local Rules 7-11 and 79-5, Plaintiffs Google Inc., AOL LLC, IAC

2 Search & Media, Inc., and Lycos, Inc. hereby request that the following papers filed on July 24, 3 2009 be placed under seal: (i) Plaintiffs Google Inc., AOL LLC, IAC Search & Media, Inc., and 4 Lycos, Inc.'s Opposition to Defendants' Motion to Dismiss, Transfer, or Stay Under the First-To5 File Rule, Under Rule 12(b)(2) For Lack of Personal Jurisdiction, and Under Rule 12(b)(1) For 6 Lack of Subject Matter Jurisdiction ("Opposition to Motion to Dismiss"); (ii) Exhibits B, D, K, O, 7 R, S, T, U, V, BB, CC, DD, EE, FF, HH, KK, LL and PP to the First Declaration of Thomas B. 8 Walsh, IV; and (iii) Exhibits C, E, F, I, J, K, L and M to the Second Declaration of Thomas B. 9 Walsh, IV. 10 A party may be permitted to file court documents under seal to protect confidential and

11 trade secret information. See, e.g., Johnson Controls, Inc. v. Phoenix Control Sys., Inc., 886 F.2d 12 1173, 1176 (9th Cir. 1988) (discussing proper procedure to submit trade secrets under seal); Henry 13 Hope X-Ray Prods., Inc. v. Marron Carrel, Inc., 674 F.2d 1336, 1343 (9th Cir. 1982). The brief 14 and exhibits identified above: (i) relate to or contain information considered to be confidential by 15 at least one of the parties to this action and/or by a third party from whom discovery was sought; 16 (ii) relate to or contain information exchanged during the course of discovery in this matter and/or 17 the related action pending in the Eastern District of Texas, Software Rights Archive, LLC v. 18 Google Inc., et al., Case No. 07-CV-511 (the "Texas Action"), and were designated by the 19 producing party as "Confidential" or "Confidential Attorneys' Eyes Only" pursuant to the 20 Protective Order filed in the Texas Action (Dkt. No. 99-2, November 4, 2008) and agreed to by 21 the parties;1 and/or (iii) were filed under seal by a party in the Texas Action. (See Declaration of 22 Thomas B. Walsh, IV in Support of Plaintiff Google, Inc., AOL LLC, IAC Search & Media, Inc., 23 and Lycos, Inc.'s Administrative Motion to File Under Seal). 24
1 The Agreed Protective Order (Dkt. No. 99-2) filed by all parties in the Texas Action on 25 November 4, 2008 has not yet been entered by the Court because there is one dispute among the parties that the Court has been asked to resolve, but this one dispute does not concern the authority 26 to file documents containing protected information under seal or to designate documents as "Confidential" or "Confidential Attorneys' Eyes Only" pursuant to that Protective Order. 27
