("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 2680022 [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. 8 9 Dated: The Honorable Lucy H. Koh United States District Judge 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 -12680022 [PROPOSED] ORDER
