Pending before the Court are the parties’ administrative motions to file under seal portions

17
filed by Plaintiffs Koninklijke Philips N.V. and U.S. Philips Corporation (collectively, “Philips”)
18
and Defendants ASUS Computer International and ASUSTeK Computer Inc. (collectively,
19
“ASUS”). For the reasons detailed below, the Court GRANTS IN PART and DENIES IN
20
PART the motions to file under seal.
21
I. LEGAL STANDARD
22
Courts generally apply a “compelling reasons” standard when considering motions to seal
23
documents. Pintos v. Pac. Creditors Ass’n, 605 F.3d 665, 678 (9th Cir. 2010) (quoting Kamakana
24
v. City & Cty. of Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172, 1178 (9th Cir. 2006)). “This standard derives from the
25
common law right ‘to inspect and copy public records and documents, including judicial records
26
and documents.’” Id. (quoting Kamakana, 447 F.3d at 1178). “[A] strong presumption in favor of
27
access is the starting point.” Kamakana, 447 F.3d at 1178 (quotations omitted). To overcome this
1 strong presumption, the party seeking to seal a judicial record attached to a dispositive motion
2 must “articulate compelling reasons supported by specific factual findings that outweigh the
3 general history of access and the public policies favoring disclosure, such as the public interest in
4 understanding the judicial process” and “significant public events.” Id. at 1178–79 (quotations
5 omitted). “In general, ‘compelling reasons’ sufficient to outweigh the public’s interest in
6 disclosure and justify sealing court records exist when such ‘court files might have become a
7 vehicle for improper purposes,’ such as the use of records to gratify private spite, promote public
8 scandal, circulate libelous statements, or release trade secrets.” Id. at 1179 (quoting Nixon v.
9 Warner Commc’ns, Inc., 435 U.S. 589, 598 (1978)). “The mere fact that the production of records
10 may lead to a litigant’s embarrassment, incrimination, or exposure to further litigation will not,
11 without more, compel the court to seal its records.” Id.
12 Civil Local Rule 79-5 supplements the “compelling reasons” standard. The party seeking
13 to file under seal must submit “a request that establishes that the document, or portions thereof, are
14 privileged, protectable as a trade secret or otherwise entitled to protection under the law . . . . The
15 request must be narrowly tailored to seek sealing only of sealable material . . . .” Civil L.R. 79-
16 5(b). Courts have found that “confidential business information” in the form of “license
17 agreements, financial terms, details of confidential licensing negotiations, and business strategies”
18 satisfies the “compelling reasons” standard. See In re Qualcomm Litig., No. 3:17-cv-0108-GPC-
19 MDD, 2017 WL 5176922, at *2 (S.D. Cal. Nov. 8, 2017) (observing that sealing such information
20 “prevent[ed] competitors from gaining insight into the parties’ business model and strategy”);
21 Finisar Corp. v. Nistica, Inc., No. 13-cv-03345-BLF (JSC), 2015 WL 3988132, at *5 (N.D. Cal.
22 June 30, 2015).
23 Records attached to nondispositive motions must meet the lower “good cause” standard of
24 Rule 26(c) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, as such records “are often unrelated, or only
25 tangentially related, to the underlying cause of action.” Id. at 1179–80 (quotations omitted). This
26 requires a “particularized showing” that “specific prejudice or harm will result” if the information
27 is disclosed. Phillips ex rel. Estates of Byrd v. Gen. Motors Corp., 307 F.3d 1206, 1210–11 (9th
1 examples of articulated reasoning” will not suffice. Beckman Indus., Inc. v. Int’l Ins. Co., 966
2 F.2d 470, 476 (9th Cir. 1992) (quotation omitted).
3 II. DISCUSSION
4 Because the parties seek to seal portions and documents which pertain to summary
5 judgment motions, the Court applies the compelling reasons standard. The Court applies the
6 lower good cause standard for documents related to the Daubert motions.
7 The parties’ motions demonstrate the burden imposed by overdesignation of
8 confidentiality under a protective order. In many cases, the party seeking to seal does so only
9 because another party or a third party designated entire documents as confidential. E.g., Dkt. No.
10 827-4. The party imposing the designation then files a declaration seeking to seal only a small
11 portion of the document. See, e.g., Dkt. No. 857. Because a designation of confidentiality is not
12 sufficient to establish that a document is sealable, the Court finds sealing unwarranted for the
13 overdesignated portions of the documents unsupported by any declaration. See Civ. L. R. 79-
14 5(d)(1)(A); Bain v. AstraZeneca LP, No. 09-cv-4147, 2011 WL 482767, at *1 (N.D. Cal. Feb. 7,
15 2011) (finding that good cause “cannot be established simply by showing that the document is
16 subject to a protective order or by stating in general terms that the material is considered to be
17 confidential”); see also Civ. L. R. 79-5(e)(1).
18 Nevertheless, where the designating party provided a declaration, the Court finds that the
19 parties generally narrowly tailored their requested redactions to confidential and proprietary
20 technical, business, sales, or licensing information. In dispositive motions, the parties have
21 narrowly tailored their redactions to specific source code, which “clearly meets the definition a
22 trade secret.” See Apple, Inc. v. Samsung Elecs. Co., Ltd., No. 11-CV-01846-LHK, 2012 WL
23 6115623, at *2 (N.D. Cal. Dec. 10, 2012). Elsewhere, the parties seek to seal information related
24 to the technical product operation, the existence and terms of confidential licenses and settlement
25 agreements, and information related to business operations. The public release of these documents
26 could give non-party competitors an unfair advantage in developing rival products. See In re Elec.
27 Arts, Inc., 298 F. App’x 568, 569 (9th Cir. 2008) (ordering sealing where documents could be
1 (quoting Nixon v. Warner Commc’ns, Inc., 435 U.S. 589, 598 (1978)). Thus, the Court finds that
2 the parties have in these circumstances established compelling reasons or good cause to grant the
3 motions to file under seal. See, e.g., Finjan, Inc. v. Proofpoint, Inc., No. 13-cv-05808-HSG, 2016
4 WL 7911651, at *4 (N.D. Cal. Apr. 6, 2016); Digital Reg of Texas, LLC v. Adobe Sys., Inc., No.
5 C 12-1971 CW, 2014 WL 6986068 (N.D. Cal. Dec. 10, 2014).
6 Two exceptions exist and are worth noting. First, the parties seek to seal extensive
7 portions of Philips’s opposition to ASUS’s summary judgment motion and its supporting exhibits.
8 Dkt. No. 836. The Court directly relies on some of the currently-redacted portions and is strongly
9 inclined to make those portions public. See Kamakana, 447 F.3d at 1179 (“[T]he resolution of a
10 dispute on the merits, whether by trial or summary judgment, is at the heart of the interest in
11 ensuring the ‘public’s understanding of the judicial process and significant public events.’”
12 (quoting Valley Broadcasting Co.v . U.S. Dist. Court, 798 F.2d 1289, 1294 (9th Cir. 1986)).
13 Although information about technical product operation typically qualifies for protection, much of
14 the information here is already public. In seeking summary judgment, ASUS—correctly and
15 laudably—describes in general terms the operation of the accused products. See Dkt. No. 724 at
16 4:3-18; Dkt. No.895 at 2:25-3:10, 4:16-18. Portions of the materials the parties seek to redact
17 merely describe the same functionality with little, if any, added detail. Those portions are not
18 trade secrets and the parties fail to articulate compelling reasons to keep them sealed. See
19 RESTATEMENT (FIRST) OF TORTS § 757 cmt. b (Am. Law. Inst. 1939) (“The subject matter of a
20 trade secret must be secret.”); cf. Agency Solutions.Com, LLC v. TriZetto Grp., Inc., 819 F. Supp.
21 2d 1001, 1017 (E.D. Cal. 2011) (“While source code is undoubtedly a trade secret, the way the
22 source code works when compiled and run is not.”).1
23 Second, the parties seek to seal portions of briefing related to ASUS’s and Microsoft’s
24 motion to exclude opinions of Michael E. Tate (damages). Dkt. No. 741. In seeking to seal, the
25 parties go beyond confidential licensing and business information to try to seal the very nature and
26
27
1 For this reason, the Court also rejects sealing of information related to functionality that is
1 form of Mr. Tate’s analysis. The redactions go the heart of Defendants’ motions as they seek to
2 exclude from public view information about the analysis (or lack thereof) that Defendants claim
3 make Dr. Tate’s opinions unreliable. The parties do not cite—and the Court cannot imagine—any
4 case finding good cause to seal such purely litigation related information. Moreover, although the
5 underlying motion is not dispositive, Philips presumably intends to rely on Mr. Tate’s testimony to
6 prove its damages at trial. Thus, although the lower “good cause” standard applies, the Court
7 finds that the parties failed to meet that standard to the extent they seek to seal the form of Mr.
8 Tate’s case-specific analysis that does not implicate otherwise confidential information.
