Case No.: 12-CV-00630-LHK
ORDER GRANTING ADMINISTRATIVE
MOTIONS TO SEAL
Before the Court are the parties’ administrative motions to seal briefing in connection with
20
Samsung’s motion seeking approval of its supersedeas bond (ECF No. 2080). See ECF Nos. 2093,
21
2094.
22
In the instant motions, the parties narrowly tailor their requests to seal only numbers that
23
reflect at a minimum confidential sales numbers. The Federal Circuit has held that confidential
24
sales numbers are sealable. Accordingly, the Court grants the parties’ sealing motions under either
25
the “good cause” or “compelling reasons” standards set forth in Kamakana v. City & County of
26
Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172, 1178 (9th Cir. 2006), In re Electronic Arts, Inc., 298 F. App’x 568, 569
27
(9th Cir. 2008), and Apple, Inc. v. Samsung Elecs. Co., 727 F.3d 1214, 1228-29 (Fed. Cir. 2013).
