1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 9 SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 10 11 12 13 Case No.: 3:17-cv-0108-GPC-mdd IN RE: ORDER GRANTING IN PART AND DENYING IN PART MOTIONS TO SEAL QUALCOMM LITIGATION 14 15 [ECF Nos. 1101, 1113, 1073, 1076, 1116, 1090, 1110, 1087, 1085, 1099, 1095, 1102, 1118, 1091, 1083, 1105, 1093.] 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 Before the Court are numerous non-party requests to seal certain exhibits whose documents are among the “will call” exhibits and deposition designations that the parties may offer into evidence in Case No. 3:17-cv-00108-GPC-MDD. (ECF Nos. 1101, 1113, 1073, 1076, 1116, 1090, 1110, 1087, 1085, 1099, 1095, 1102, 1118, 1091, 1083, 1105, 1093.) Qualcomm Incorporated (“Qualcomm”) has filed a consolidated response to the motions to seal. ECF No. 1138. Apple Inc. (“Apple”) and Compal Electronics, Inc., Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., Ltd., FIH Mobile Ltd., Pegatron Corporation, and Wistron Corporation (collectively, the “Contract Manufacturers” or “CMs”) have submitted that 1 3:17-cv-0108-GPC-mdd 1 they do not oppose any sealing motions filed by any non-parties in this action. (ECF No. 2 1136.) Upon review of the moving papers, the Court GRANTS in part and DENIES in 3 part the motions. 4 LEGAL STANDARD 5 There is a presumptive right of public access to court records based upon the 6 common law and the first amendment. See Nixon v. Warner Commc’ns, Inc., 435 U.S. 7 589, 597 (1978); Phillips ex rel. Estates of Byrd v. General Motors Corp., 307 F.3d 1206, 8 1212-13 (9th Cir. 2002). Nonetheless, access may be denied to protect sensitive 9 confidential information. Courts are more likely to protect information covered by Rule 10 26(c) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, but are not limited by items listed in 11 protective orders. See KL Group v. Case, Kay, & Lynch, 829 F.2d 909, 917-19 (9th Cir. 12 1987) (letter to client from attorney); Kalinauskas v. Wong, 151 F.R.D. 363, 365-67 13 (D. Nev. 1993) (confidential settlement agreement). 14 “Unless a particular court record is one traditionally kept secret, a strong 15 presumption in favor of access is the starting point.” Kamakana v. City & Cty. of 16 Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172, 1178-80 (9th Cir. 2006) (citing Foltz v. State Farm Mut. Auto. 17 Ins. Co., 331 F.3d 1122, 1135 (9th Cir. 2003)). “In order to overcome this strong 18 presumption, a party seeking to seal a judicial record must articulate justifications for 19 sealing that outweigh the historical right of access and the public policies favoring 20 disclosure.” Id. at 1178-79. 21 The presumption of access is “based on the need for federal courts, although 22 independent—indeed, particularly because they are independent—to have a measure of 23 accountability and for the public to have confidence in the administration of justice.” 24 United States v. Amodeo (Amodeo II ), 71 F.3d 1044, 1048 (2d Cir.1995); see also Valley 25 Broad. Co. v. U.S. Dist. Court—D. Nev., 798 F.2d 1289, 1294 (9th Cir.1986) (explaining 26 27 28 2 3:17-cv-0108-GPC-mdd 1 that the presumption of public access “promot[es] the public's understanding of the 2 judicial process and of significant public events”). 3 Accordingly, “[a] party seeking to seal a judicial record then bears the burden of 4 overcoming this strong presumption by meeting the ‘compelling reasons' standard.” 5 Kamakana, 447 F.3d at 1178. Under this stringent standard, a court may seal records only 6 when it finds “a compelling reason and articulate[s] the factual basis for its ruling, 7 without relying on hypothesis or conjecture.” Id. at 1179. The court must then 8 “conscientiously balance[ ] the competing interests of the public and the party who seeks 9 to keep certain judicial records secret.” Id. (quoting Foltz, 331 F.3d at 1135) (alteration in 10 original) (internal quotation marks omitted). What constitutes a “compelling reason” is 11 “best left to the sound discretion of the trial court.” Nixon, 435 U.S. at 599. 12 Previously, some courts applied a “compelling reason” or “good cause” standard 13 for sealing depending on whether the pending motion was dispositive or non-dispositive. 14 E.g., Kamakana, 447 F.3d at 1180 (9th Cir. 2006) (parties seeking to seal documents in a 15 dispositive motion must provide “compelling reasons” to support a sealing whereas for 16 non-dispositive motions the parties must show a lesser “particularized showing” under 17 the “good cause” standard pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(c)); Phillips ex 18 rel. Estates of Byrd v. Gen. Motors Corp., 307 F.3d 1206, 1213 (9th Cir. 2002) (when a 19 party attaches a sealed discovery document to a nondispositive motion, the usual 20 presumption of the public's right of access is rebutted). 21 Other courts rejected this binary approach. In re Midland National Life Insurance 22 Company Annuity Sales Practices Litigation, 686 F.3d 1115 (9th Cir.2012), is one such 23 case that rejected the literal dispositive/nondispositive label. In that case, an intervenor 24 moved to unseal documents attached to a Daubert motion. Id. at 1118. The district court, 25 like the district court here, concluded that the documents should remain under seal 26 because “the Daubert motion was non-dispositive,” as it “would not have been a 27 28 3 3:17-cv-0108-GPC-mdd 1 determination on the merits of any claim or defense.” Id. at 1119. The Ninth Circuit 2 rejected the district court's focus on whether the motion was literally “dispositive”: “That 3 the records are connected to a Daubert motion does not, on its own, conclusively resolve 4 the issue.” Id. As the motion, in effect, “pertain[ed] to central issues bearing on 5 defendant's summary judgment motion,” we treated that motion as dispositive. Id. 6 Similarly, the court in Ctr. for Auto Safety v. Chrysler Grp., LLC, 809 F.3d 1092, 1100 7 (9th Cir. 2016) observed that it would not allow the technically nondispositive nature of a 8 Daubert motion to cloud the reality that it was able to significantly affect the disposition 9 of the issues in the case. 10 Here, the motions to seal relate to numerous potential trial exhibits and deposition 11 designations that the parties may intend to call into evidence at trial. This Court will 12 apply the “compelling reasons” standard to these motions and related briefing as those 13 submissions pertain to central issues at trial and are “more than tangentially related to the 14 underlying cause of action.” Ctrs. for Auto Safety v. Chrysler Grp., 809 F.3d 1092, 1099 15 (9th Cir. 2016). 16 Compelling reasons for sealing information exist “when such ‘court files might 17 have become a vehicle for improper purposes,’ such as the use of records to gratify 18 private spite, promote public scandal, circulate libelous statements, or release trade 19 secrets.” Kamakana, 447 F.3d at 1179 (quoting Nixon, 435 U.S. at 598). Trade secrets 20 “may consist of any formula, pattern, device or compilation of information which is used 21 in one’s business, and which gives him an opportunity to obtain advantage over 22 competitions who do not know or use it.” Restatement (First) of Torts § 757 cmt. b. 23 Because trade secrets concern proprietary and sensitive business information not 24 available to the public, sealing may be warranted where disclosure would harm a 25 litigant’s competitive standing. Nixon, 425 U.S. at 598. 26 27 28 4 3:17-cv-0108-GPC-mdd 1 The Ninth Circuit has explicitly recognized that compelling reasons exist for the 2 sealing of “pricing terms, royalty rates, and guaranteed minimum payment terms” of 3 license agreements. See In re Elec. Arts, Inc., 298 F. App’x 568, 569 (9th Cir. 2008). 4 Courts in this circuit have also recognized that information subject to confidentiality 5 agreements may also meet the “compelling reasons” standard when accompanied by a 6 particularized factual showing. See Foltz, 331 F.3d at 1137-38. 7 DISCUSSION 8 The Court now turns to the substance of the instant sealing motions. The majority 9 of information that the movants seek to seal constitutes confidential business information 10 of the parties, including trade secrets, proprietary business records, discussions of internal 11 strategy, company dealings, and materials designated as “Highly Confidential.” To the 12 extent that the proposed redactions are narrowly tailored and relate to the rationale above, 13 the Court agrees that the movants have demonstrated that compelling reasons exist for 14 sealing the information subsumed by these categories. Analysis from this Court’s prior 15 orders granting the movants’ motions to seal is applicable here. (See ECF Nos. 1143 and 16 1155.) 17 However, the Court also finds that some of the information that the movants seek 18 to seal is stale, overbroad, or relate to key issues in the case. Even where the parties seek 19 to cover information that may properly be sealed, they should seek to seal only the 20 narrowly sealable information and not whole paragraphs, documents, sections, or 21 presentations that do not justify extensive redaction. In some documents, the information 22 at issue is too general to warrant sealing. Other suggested redactions would 23 inappropriately shield stale information that is too old to be presently confidential. And 24 yet other redacted exhibits in their current states would close from the public exhibits that 25 relate to issues at the heart of this case, including a variety of SULAs, testimony about 26 Qualcomm’s rates and Qualcomm’s leverage. In light of the public’s right to access, this 27 28 5 3:17-cv-0108-GPC-mdd 1 Court finds no colorable justification to seal those exhibits in their presently proposed 2 form. Repeated requests to close and clear the courtroom would be unduly cumbersome 3 to the Court’s interest in managing the trial. Sealing such information would hamstring 4 the parties and stymie them from litigating key issues effectively and efficiently. 5 Furthermore, over-sealing crucial exhibits would impede the jury and the public’s ability 6 to understand the nature of the proceedings and the factual basis for the parties’ claims. 7 As such, the Court finds that the movants have not articulated “compelling 8 reasons” to keep all the requested information from the public. Accordingly, the sealing 9 motions at ECF Nos. 1076, 1083, 1091, 1101, 1113, 1073, 1095, 1099, 1118, 1105 filed 10 by Asustek, AT&T, Ericsson, Kyocera, LGE, HTC, Lenovo/Motorola, ZTE, Nokia, 11 Ericsson, and Interdigital are GRANTED. The sealing motions at ECF Nos. 1116, 1110, 12 1085, 1090, 1087, 1102, and 1093 are GRANTED IN PART and DENIED IN PART. 13 The Court instructs the parties to introduce – if called at trial – redacted versions of their 14 documents consistent with the following tables. 15 16 IT IS SO ORDERED.
