SABRI DECL. ISO APPLE’S CORRECTED RENEWED MOTION TO SEAL

CASE NO. 11-CV-01846 LHK
sf-3174757

11-cv-01846-LHK

DECLARATION OF
NATHAN SABRI IN SUPPORT OF
APPLE’S CORRECTED
RENEWED MOTION TO SEAL

1

I, NATHAN SABRI, declare as follows:

2

1.

I am an attorney with the law firm of Morrison & Foerster LLP, counsel for Apple

3

Inc. (“Apple”). I am licensed to practice law in the State of California. I have personal

4

knowledge of the matters stated herein or understand them to be true. I make this declaration in

5

support of Apple’s Corrected Renewed Motion to Seal.

6

2.

Through its Corrected Renewed Motion to Seal, Apple seeks to seal data created

7

by third-party market research companies where such data is extensive and risks supplanting the

8

third party’s market for its report. Apple does not seek to seal passing references or data that

9

focuses on Apple and Samsung.

10

3.

I understand that Apple is contractually obligated to defend the interests of third

11

parties who sell Apple their proprietary consumer and market studies, and disclosure of this

12

material would severely harm such third parties competitively and damage Apple’s relationship

13

with them. The market research companies with which Apple does business operate by selling

14

their reports, which typically cost many thousands of dollars each.

15

4.

Public disclosure of a substantial portion or the entirety one of these reports would

16

completely supplant the market for that report. If Apple is forced to disclose this information,

17

which Apple acquired under an agreement to keep the information private and confidential, the

18

affected third party companies could be reluctant to do business with Apple again in the future,

19

potentially permanently harming Apple’s relationships and preventing Apple from obtaining this

20

critical consumer data.

21
22

I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct. Executed this
27th day of July, 2012 at San Jose, California.
