APPLE INC.’S ADMINISTRATIVE MOTION TO
FILE DOCUMENTS UNDER SEAL
Case No. 11-cv-01846 (LHK)

In accordance with Civil L.R. 7-11 and 79-5, and General Order No. 62, Apple Inc.

1
2

(“Apple”) moves for an order to seal the following documents:
1.

3

Confidential portions of Apple’s Notice of Motion and Motion for Partial

Summary Judgment, filed herewith.

4

2.

5

Exhibits 24 and 46 – 48 to the Declaration of Joseph J. Mueller in Support of

Apple’s Motion for Partial Summary Judgment, filed herewith.

6
7

3.

Confidential portions of the Declaration of Saku Hieta, filed herewith.

8

4.

Exhibits 1 – 41 to the Declaration of Saku Hieta, filed herewith.

9

Items 1 and 2 of the above documents contain information that Samsung has designated

10

as confidential under the interim protective order. Apple expects that pursuant to Civil Local

11

Rule 79-5(d), Samsung will file a declaration, and accompanying Proposed Order, attempting to

12

establish good cause to permit the sealing of these materials.

13

Items 1, 3 and 4 of the above documents contain information that is Apple-confidential as

14

set out in the Declaration of Erica Tierney in Support of Apple’s Administrative Motion to File

15

Documents Under Seal (“Tierney Declaration”), filed herewith. As described in the Tierney

16

Declaration, this motion requests relief that is necessary and narrowly tailored to protect only

17

that confidential information. It is Apple’s policy not to disclose or describe to third parties

18

information regarding the baseband processor chipsets used in Apple’s Products. (Tierney

19

Declaration ¶ 3.) This information is highly confidential to Apple. (Id.) The information

20

described above could be used by Apple’s competitors to Apple’s disadvantage if disclosed

21

publicly. (Id.) The relief requested in this motion is necessary and is narrowly tailored to protect

22

confidential information, focusing only on specific portions of the documents at issue. (Id. ¶ 4.)

23

Pursuant to the Court’s standing order regarding motions to file under seal, effective

24

December 1, 2011, attached are the proposed public redacted versions of the documents that

25

1

26

Because these exhibits are submitted only to show the identities of certain baseband
processor chipsets and the seller and purchaser of those chipsets, Apple has redacted other
irrelevant order information.
