1

Pursuant to the Protective Order in the above-captioned case (Dkt. 17), Defendants Lupin

2

Limited and Lupin Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (collectively, “Lupin”) seek leave to file under seal

3

certain confidential exhibits accompanying the Supplemental Declaration of Kate M. Lesciotto in

4

Support of Lupin’s Motion for Summary Judgment That The Claims Of The U.S. Reissue Patent

5

Are Invalid As Obvious (Dkt. 88-2) (“Supplemental Lesciotto Declaration”). In support of this

6

Motion, Lupin states as follows:

7

1.

The Protective Order in this case permits each party to designate certain

8

information produced during discovery as "CONFIDENTIAL" if the designating party

9

reasonably believes that the information should be protected from public disclosure. (Dkt. 17 at

10

2-3.) The Protective Order further specifies that the parties may file documents under seal under

11

an order of this Court for cause shown. (Id. at 13).

12

2.

Certain exhibits attached to the Supplemental Lesciotto Declaration consist of

13

documents or contain citations to documents, that the parties have designated as

14

“CONFIDENTIAL” in this case.

15
16
17

3.

Lupin therefore seeks leave of the Court to file certain exhibits accompanying the

Supplemental Lesciotto Declaration under seal.
4.

In addition, Lupin has concurrently filed a public version of the exhibits to the

18

Supplemental Lesciotto Declaration which redacts only those exhibits that need to remain

19

confidential under the protective order. Specifically, Lupin seeks leave to file under seal Reply

20

Exhibits 2 and 4.
