Declaration”).

12

Defendants’ Motion discusses licensing meetings between Rockstar, MobileStar and other

13

parties. Rockstar and MobileStar executed non-disclosure agreements prior to entering into these

14

meetings, and the agreements cover the existence of licensing meeting between the parties. The

15

Dean Declaration also discusses licensing meetings between Rockstar, MobileStar and other parties

16

that are covered by non-disclosure agreements.

17

Details of Rockstar and MobileStar’s licensing negotiations with others, including identities

18

of parties currently negotiating with Defendants, is sensitive confidential and proprietary business

19

information relevant to Rockstar and MobileStar’s licensing and business strategies. As such,

20

Defendants will be harmed by disclosure of this information.

21

On these grounds, Defendants Rockstar and MobileStar requests the Court to seal these two

22

documents. This request is narrowly tailored to seal only that material for which good cause to seal

23

has been established. A Proposed Order granting this Administrative Motion has been filed and

24

served herewith.
