`4.
`I am informed and believe that the right of the public to inspect and copy public
`records “is not absolute” and that a court may seal confidential information disclosed during the
`course of a legal proceeding. Nixon v. Warner Commc’ns, Inc., 435 U.S. 589, 598 (1978).
`5.
`Because Juniper’s opposition concerns a dispositive motion, I understand that
`Juniper needs to show a “compelling reason” for sealing a court record. See Kamakana v. City &
`Cty. of Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172, 1179 (9th Cir. 2006). “Compelling reasons” exist to seal a record
`when it might “become a vehicle for improper purposes,” such as the “release of trade secrets.” Id.
`(quoting Nixon, 435 U.S. at 1179).
`6.
`It is my understanding that the above documents disclose Juniper’s confidential
`source code—the computerized instructions describing exactly how Juniper’s products work.
`7.
`Additionally, I believe that Juniper has accumulated significant research and
`development costs, and this sensitive trade secret is the foundation of Juniper’s highly proprietary
`software. By permitting competitors to receive this information without also spending development
`costs, public disclosure of Juniper’s source code would materially impair Juniper’s intellectual
`property rights and business positioning.
`8.
`I am informed and believe that the disclosure of Juniper’s source code would cause
`serious competitive consequences and that Juniper takes numerous measures to maintain the secrecy
`of this information. It is also my understanding that the protective order in this action, for instance,
`details the significant lengths Juniper has taken to protect its source code. As the protective order
`describes, “[t]he source code shall be made available for inspection on a PC which may be a laptop
`PC and which may be provided without USB ports.” Dkt. No. 149 at 13. Additionally, “[t]he
`secured computer may be placed in a secured room without Internet access or network access to
`other computers, and the Receiving Party shall not copy, remove, or otherwise transfer any portion
`of the source code onto any recordable media or recordable device.” Id. Juniper has also
`implemented strict screening procedures for visitors at its engineering campus.
`9.
`Also, I am informed and believe that publicly exposing the source code presents a
`security risk. Because the source code is at the center of Juniper’s network security products,
`permitting the disclosure of the source code could significantly harm the users of Juniper’s products.

`
`10.
`Additionally, I am informed and believe that several of the exhibits contain
`discussions between Finjan and Cyphort regarding patent licensing/settlement negotiations. It is my
`understanding that these discussions fall under the protection of Federal Rule of Evidence 408 and
`the Nondisclosure Agreement between Finjan and Cyphort.
`11.
`I, therefore, believe that “compelling reasons” exist for sealing the disclosure of the
`source code and the settlement discussions, and by seeking to seal only the portions that contain the
`source code and the settlement discussions, Juniper’s request is narrowly tailored.
`Executed on March 18, 2019, at Newport Beach, California.
`I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States of America that the
`foregoing is true and correct to the best of my knowledge.
