Case No.: 11-CV-01846-LHK
ORDER REGARDING THIRD PARTY’S
MOTION FOR CLARIFICATION

14

Third Party Research in Motion (“RIM”) has filed a motion for clarification regarding this

15

Court’s Order granting-in-part and denying-in-part motions to seal. See ECF Nos. 1649; 1686. In

16

its Order, the Court granted RIM’s motion to seal in part and allowed the compensation terms of

17

RIM’s licensing agreements to be sealed in DX630. See Order at 26. RIM asks the Court to

18

clarify whether any party or witness may disclose the sealed information in open court on the

19

public record. See ECF No. 1686.

20

The Court has already indicated that the trial is going to be open. Order at 22 (citing Order

21

Den. Sealing Mot. 3, ECF No. 1256 (citation omitted)). The Court will not seal the Courtroom.

22

RIM is advised to consult with the parties regarding efforts made by the parties to preserve the

23

confidentiality of the licensing compensation terms.

24

However, the Court’s understanding is that the parties are not going to introduce the

25

licenses as evidence at trial and will rely on their licensing summary charts in which the

26

compensation terms are redacted.
