`
`Manes in support of Finjan’s Administrative Motion (“Manes Decl.”).

`Kastens Decl.
`
`Entirety
`
`Finjan
`
`Identified exhibits contain
`Juniper’s confidential
`information. See Manes
`Decl. at ¶ 5; see also below.
`Identified exhibits contain
`(1) the parties’
`licensing/settlement
`negotiations that are within
`the ambit of Rule 408 of the
`Federal Rules of Evidence;
`(2) confidential terms in
`license/settlement
`agreements between Finjan
`and Finjan’s licensees. See
`Manes Decl. at ¶ 6; see also
`below.
`Identified exhibits contain
`Juniper’s and Finjan’s
`confidential information.
`See Manes Decl. at ¶ 7; see
`also below.
`As set forth in the accompanying Declaration of Austin Manes in support of Finjan’s
`
`Exs. 2, 4-11 to Kastens
`Decl.
`
`Entirety
`
`Juniper
`and/or
`Finjan
`
`Administrative Motion to File under Seal, the above identified documents contain confidential
`
`information of Juniper, Finjan and/or third parties and should be sealed. Such confidential information
`
`includes: (1) Juniper’s confidential information; (2) Finjan’s information concerning confidential
`
`settlement negotiation subject to the Rule 408; (3) terms in confidential settlement agreements with
`
`Finjan’s licensees.
`
`Portions of documents containing information that Juniper has designated as “Confidential,”
`
`“Highly Confidential – Attorneys’ Eyes Only,” or “Highly Confidential – Source Code” should be
`
`sealed because the prejudice to Juniper from the disclosure of this information to its competitors would
`
`likely outweigh any benefit of disclosing the information to the public. See Apple Inc. v. Samsung Elecs.
`
`Co., 727 F.3d 1214, 1225 (Fed. Cir. 2013) (“We conclude that Apple and Samsung have such an interest
`
`because they could suffer competitive harm if this information is made public, and the district court erred
`
`by concluding otherwise. In particular, it seems clear that if Apple's and Samsung's suppliers have access
`
`to their profit, cost, and margin data, it could give the suppliers an advantage in contract negotiations,
`
`which they could use to extract price increases for components.”).

`
`
`
`Similarly, highly confidential information related to the parties’ patent licensing/settlement
`
`negotiations as well as Finjan and its third party licensees’ confidential terms of license/settlement
`
`agreements should also be sealed because such information is within the ambit of Federal Rules of
`
`Evidence Rule 408. Such licensing/settlement negotiations and confidential terms of license/settlement
`
`agreements are specific to the unique financial and business circumstances of the negotiating parties at
`
`that specific timeframe. Thus, there will be substantial prejudice to the parties and third parties’
`
`respective business interests if the confidential license/settlement negotiations and/or confidential terms
`
`of license/settlement agreements are disclosed publicly. Third parties may wrongfully attempt to utilize
`
`the information disclosed in these negotiations or agreements for their advantage in other negotiations
`
`with these parties, which can have an inappropriate and disproportionate impact on discussions around
`
`future licensing matters for the parties. See Thomas v. Magnachip Semiconductor Corp., No. 14-CV-
`
`01160-JST, 2016 WL 3879193, at *7 (N.D. Cal. July 18, 2016) (finding compelling reason to seal
`
`settlement agreement to avoid third parties from leveraging the information to negotiate special treatment
`
`by the litigating parties).
`
`Finally, the portions sought to be sealed here are narrowly tailored to include only “sealable
`
`material,” as set forth in the accompanying Declaration of Austin Manes. To comply with Civil Local
`
`Rule 79-5, Finjan has filed publicly the non-confidential portions of above identified documents.
`
`Attached hereto are redacted and unredacted versions of the same documents.
`III. CONCLUSION
`For the foregoing reasons, Finjan respectfully requests that the Court grant its Administrative
`
`Motion to File Documents Under Seal.
