Plaintiffs,
ORDER GRANTING
ADMINISTRATIVE MOTION TO FILE
UNDER SEAL

v.
INTERDIGITAL, INC., et al.,

[Re: ECF 111]

Defendants.
Defendants move to file under seal portions of the Answer and Counterclaim. ECF 111,

13

Ex. A. Defendants seek to redact portions of the Answer and Counterclaim that reference the

14

parties’ Patent License Agreement, which the Court has previously found sealable under the

15

“compelling reasons” standard set forth in Ctr. for Auto Safety v. Chrysler Grp., LLC, 809 F.3d

16

1092, 1101-02 (9th Cir. 2016). See ECF 110.

17

The Court has reviewed Defendants’ proposed redactions at lines 21-24 on page 22 of

18

Exhibit A, and finds that they are narrowly tailored and seek only to seal confidential information,

19

consistent with Civil Local Rule 79-5(d)(1)(C). As such, Defendants’ motion to file this

20

document under seal is GRANTED.

21

IT IS SO ORDERED.
