This matter is before the Court on Defendants’ Motion for Leave to File Under Seal (ECF
No. 167), filed on August 24, 2016.
Defendants request leave to file Exhibit H to their Opening Claim Construction Brief (ECF

21

No. 166) under seal pursuant to the stipulated Protective Order entered into by the parties on August

22

31, 2015. See (ECF No. 62). Defendants represent that Exhibit H “contains information about

23

IGT’s S3000 gaming cabinet, including excerpts from product documentation that IGT has

24

designated as confidential.” Motion (ECF No. 167), pg. 2, lns. 10–11. Defendant further argues

25

that good cause exists to file Exhibit H under seal because “disclosure of the information contained

26

in Exhibit H could expose IGT’s trade secrets or other proprietary business information, and may

27

put IGT at a competitive disadvantage in its dealings with third parties.” Id. at pg. 2, lns. 12–15.

28

Upon review, the Court finds good cause to allow Defendants to file Exhibit H under seal.
