Samsung’s Response to Third Parties’ Objections

Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., Samsung Electronics America, Inc., and Samsung

4 Telecommunications America, LLC (collectively, “Samsung”) file this Response to nonparties
5 Research In Motion Corporation’s, Research In Motion Ltd.’s (“RIM’s”), and Motorola’s
6 objections to the Stipulation and [Proposed] Order Regarding a Procedure for Reducing the
7 Number of Sealing Requests. (Dkt. Nos. 1613 and 1625.) The Stipulation provides the Court
8 and the parties a framework to avoid requesting that the Court seal trial exhibits.

The third

9 parties’ limited objections to one paragraph should not preclude the Court from adopting the
10 remainder of the Stipulation.
11

The third parties object only to the procedure outlined in paragraph 5 of the Stipulation.

12 (Dkt. No. 1613 at 1; Dkt. No. 1625 at 1.) Specifically, the third parties argue that any public
13 disclosure of the terms of the licensing agreements will cause competitive harm.

(Dkt. No. 1613

14 at 1-2; Dkt. No. 1625 at 1-2.) Other third parties have raised similar concerns regarding the
15 public disclosure of the terms of licensing agreements.

Samsung does not oppose any efforts by

16 RIM, Motorola or other third parties to impose greater restrictions on the disclosure of licensing
17 information or their efforts to seal the information entirely. The procedure outlined in paragraph
18 5, including substituting the names of third parties with neutral identifiers, represents an effort by
19 the parties to address concerns about confidentiality and will only be necessary if the Court denies
20 pending motions to seal the terms of licensing agreements with third parties.
21

Since the third parties’ objections are limited to the procedure in paragraph 5, Samsung

22 respectfully requests that the Court adopt the Stipulation.
