Case No. C06-1711RSL
ORDER REGARDING BELKIN’S
MOTION TO SEAL (Dkt. # 664)

14

This matter comes before the Court on “Belkin, Inc. and Belkin International,
15

Inc.’s Motion to Seal Their Reply in Support of Their Motion for Partial Summary Judgment.”
16

Dkt. # 664. Belkin seeks permission to redact two portions of its reply memorandum because
17

Avocent designated the information as confidential during discovery.
18

Belkin filed a publicly-accessible version of its reply memorandum with
19

redactions. Dkt. # 665. Avocent agrees that the financial information contained in footnote 22
20

should remain sealed but waives any claim to confidentiality for the redaction at page 9, line 9 of
21

Dkt. # 665. Rather than have Belkin refile the reply memorandum, the Court will simply recount
22

the obscured statement here for the public record: “covered by a royalty-free license for all three
23

patents-in-suit.”
