Case No. 11-CV-01846-LHK
[PROPOSED] ORDER GRANTING
NONPARTIES RESEARCH IN MOTION
CORPORATION AND RESEARCH IN
MOTION LTD.'S ADMINISTRATIVE
MOTION TO SEAL THIRD PARTY
CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
19
Nonparties Research In Motion Corporation and Research in Motion Ltd. ("RIM") have
20
21 filed an administrative motion to seal their confidential information contained in Trial Exhibit 630
22 and have submitted the declarations of Michael J. Crowley and Jonathan Lange in support thereof.
23 Based on RIM's motion and the declarations of Michael J. Crowley and Jonathan Lange, the Court
24 finds that the information relating to the terms of RIM's patent license agreement with Samsung
25 that RIM requests be sealed is the type of highly sensitive business confidential information and
26 trade secrets information that derives value from their secrecy and that would be valuable to RIM's
27 competitors in patent licensing negotiations. Additionally, the Court finds that such information is
28 only tangentially related to the substance of the underlying case, and that therefore the public's

[PROPOSED] ORDER
1 understanding of the judicial process would not be significantly aided thereby. Therefore, RIM
2 has demonstrated compelling reasons why its confidential information should be sealed.
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT RIM's motion to seal portions of Trial Exhibit 630 is
3
4 GRANTED. Only the redacted version of that portion of Trial Exhibit 630 (as shown in
5 Attachment A to the motion) may be presented in open court.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED THAT the courtroom shall be closed during testimony
6
7 relating to the sealed portions of Trial Exhibit 630 insofar as it may pertain to RIM.
