1

Third Party Toshiba Corporation (“Toshiba”) has filed an administrative motion to

2

remove docket #1378-3 from the public court file. Toshiba relies on the Supplemental

3

Declaration of Yuji Uchigasaki as support for its motion.

4

Docket #1378-3 discloses the duration of a patent license between Toshiba and Samsung.

5

At the pretrial conference for this action, the Court indicated that the duration of a license is

6

sealable. Consistent with that statement, and based on the Supplemental Declaration of

7

Mr. Uchigasaki, the Court finds that the duration the Toshiba/Samsung license is the type of

8

highly sensitive business confidential information that is not available to Toshiba’s competitors

9

and that provides Toshiba with an opportunity to obtain an advantage over competitors who do

10

not know or use it. Accordingly, the Court finds compelling reasons to seal information

11

regarding the license duration and remove #1378-3 from the public court file.

12
13

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT docket #1378-3 be removed from the public court
file.
