I/P ENGINE, INC.,
Civ. Action No. 2:11-cv-512
MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT I/P ENGINE’S MOTION TO SEAL EXHIBIT 1 TO
PLAINTIFF I/P ENGINE, INC.’S MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF ITS DAUBERT
MOTION, AND FOURTH MOTION IN LIMINE, TO EXCLUDE LYLE UNGAR’S NEW
THEORY OF INVALIDITY AND OPINIONS REGARDING CLAIM CONSTRUCTION
In support of its Motion to Seal pursuant to Local Rule 5, Plaintiff I/P Engine, Inc. (“I/P
Engine”) states the following:
1.
I/P Engine moves the Court for leave to file under seal Exhibit 1 to its
Memorandum in Support of Plaintiff I/P Engine’s Daubert Motion, and Fourth Motion in
Limine, to Exclude Lyle Ungar’s New Theory of Invalidity and Opinions Regarding Claim
Construction. The afore-mentioned contain information that is marked as confidential by
Defendants under the Protective Order entered in this matter on January 23, 2012 (D.I. No. 85)
(“Protective Order”).
2.
There are three requirements for sealing court findings: (1) public notice with an
opportunity to object; (2) consideration of less drastic alternatives; and (3) a statement of specific
findings in support of a decision to seal and rejecting alternatives to sealing. See, e.g., Flexible
DSMDB-3100688
Benefits Council v. Feldman, No. 1:08-CV-371, 2008 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 93039 (E.D. Va. Nov
13, 2008) (citing Ashcroft v. Conoco, Inc., 218 F.3d 282, 288 (4th Cir. 2000)). I/P Engine’s
Exhibit 1 to its Memorandum in Support of Plaintiff I/P Engine’s Daubert Motion, and Fourth
Motion in Limine, to Exclude Lyle Ungar’s New Theory of Invalidity and Opinions Regarding
Claim Construction contains information that is marked by Defendants as confidential. An in
camera copy of the afore-mentioned is being provided to the Court. In light of Defendant’s
representation that this is confidential material under the Protective Order, there appears to be no
alternative that appropriately serves Defendants’ confidentiality concerns.
3.
The information contained in the exhibit contains Google’s proprietary and
confidential information.
4.
For the sake of consistency with practices governing the case as a whole, I/P
Engine believes Exhibit 1 should remain sealed and be treated in accordance with the terms and
conditions of the Protective Order.
5.
Accordingly, and in satisfaction of the requirements of Local Rule 5, I/P Engine
respectfully asks the Court to enter the Proposed Agreed Order sealing Exhibit 1 to its
Memorandum in Support of Plaintiff I/P Engine’s Daubert Motion, and Fourth Motion in
Limine, to Exclude Lyle Ungar’s New Theory of Invalidity and Opinions Regarding Claim
Construction.
