CIVIL ACTION No.: 05-CV-12237WGY

Defendants' Motion for Leave to File Under Seal Defendants' Trade Secret Contained in Amgen Inc.'s Reply Memorandum of Law in Support of Amgen's Motion for Summary Judgment on Roche's Antitrust and State Law Counterclaims Defendants F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd, Roche Diagnostics GmbH, and Hoffmann-La Roche Inc. (collectively "Roche") respectfully move, pursuant to Local Rule 7.2 and the Protective Order, to file under seal Defendants' trade secret contained in Amgen Inc.'s Reply Memorandum of Law in Support of Amgen's Motion for Summary Judgment on Roche's Antitrust and State Law Counterclaims, filed on June 9, 2007 ("Amgen's Reply Brief"). Roche seeks to protect the highly confidential trade secret information relating to its preliminary launch price for MirceraŽ (the "Preliminary Launch Price"), the public disclosure of which would irreparably harm Roche's ability to compete in the erythropoiesis stimulating agent ("ESA") markets and its position in the highly competitive pharmaceutical industry. Accordingly, Roche requests that the Preliminary Launch Price contained in Amgen's Reply Brief be filed under seal. In support of this motion, Roche relies on the accompanying Memorandum of Law and the Declaration of Manvin S. Mayell and Exhibit 1 thereto.
