`
`MEMORANDUM OF POINTS AND AUTHORITIES
`
`Pursuant to Civil Local Rules 7-11 and 79-5 and in response to the Court’s May 29, 2019
`
`Order (Dkt. No. 492) regarding Dkt. No. 368, Juniper hereby brings this administrative motion to
`
`file under seal Finjan’s disclosure of Juniper’s confidential source code in the Mitzenmacher
`
`Declaration filed in support of Finjan, Inc.’s Second Motion for Early Summary Judgment Re Claim
`
`1 of the ’154 Patent.
`
`It is well established that the right to inspect and copy judicial records is not absolute but
`
`rather is subject to a number of exceptions to guard against harmful use of sensitive materials. See
`
`Kamakana v. City & Cty. of Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172, 1178–79 (9th Cir. 2006). Because the
`
`documents relate to a motion for summary judgment, the “compelling reasons” standard applies. Id.

`
`at 1179. “‘Compelling reasons’ sufficient to outweigh the public’s interest in disclosure exist when
`
`court records might become a vehicle for improper purposes such as the use of records to gratify
`
`private spite, promote public scandal, circulate libelous statements, or release trade secrets.”
`
`Demaree v. Pederson, 887 F.3d 870, 884 (9th Cir. 2018) (internal quotations and alterations omitted)
`
`(quoting Kamakana, 447 F.3d at 1179). Under Ninth Circuit law, trade secrets are “any formula,
`
`pattern, device or compilation of information which is used in one’s business, and which gives him
`
`an opportunity to obtain an advantage over competitors who do not know or use it.” In re Elec.
`
`Arts, Inc., 298 Fed. App’x 568, 569 (9th Cir. 2008) (quoting RESTATEMENT (FIRST) OF TORTS § 757
`
`cmt. b); see also Clark v. Bunker, 453 F.2d 1006, 1009 (9th Cir. 1972).
`
`10
`
`Civil Local Rule 79-5 supplements the “compelling reasons” standard. Under this rule, a
`
`11
`
`party seeking to file under seal must submit “a request that establishes that the document, or portions
`
`12
`
`thereof, are privileged, protectable as a trade secret or otherwise entitled to protection under the
`
`13
`
`law.” Id. Additionally, “[t]he request must be narrowly tailored to seek sealing only of sealable
`
`14
`
`material.” Id.
`
`15
`
`Courts within the Northern District of California have concluded that “[c]onfidential source
`
`16
`
`code clearly meets the definition of a trade secret . . . [and therefore] meets the ‘compelling reasons’
`
`17
`
`standard.” Fed. Trade Comm’n v. DIRECTV, Inc., No. 15-CV-01129-HSG, 2017 WL 840379, at
`
`18
`
`*2 (N.D. Cal. Mar. 3, 2017) (second alteration in original) (quoting Apple, Inc. v. Samsung Elecs.
`
`19
`
`Co., No. 11-CV-01846-LHK, 2012 WL 6115623, at *2 (N.D. Cal. Dec. 10, 2012), rev’d on other
`
`20
`
`grounds, Apple Inc. v. Samsung Elecs. Co., Ltd., 727 F.3d 1214 (Fed. Cir. 2013)); see also
`

`
`Opperman v. Path, Inc., No. 13-CV-00453-JST, 2017 WL 1036652, at *3 (N.D. Cal. Mar. 17, 2017).
`
`22
`
`There are “compelling reasons” for sealing the redacted portions of the Mitzenmacher
`
`23
`
`Declaration because it discloses Juniper’s confidential source code—the computerized instructions
`
`24
`
`describing exactly how Juniper’s products work.
`
`25
`
`For its source code, Juniper has accumulated significant research and development costs,
`
`26
`
`and this sensitive trade secret is the foundation of Juniper’s highly proprietary software. By
`
`27
`
`permitting competitors to receive this information without also spending development costs, public
`
`28
`
`disclosure of Juniper’s source code would materially impair Juniper’s intellectual property rights

`
`Because the disclosure of Juniper’s source code would cause serious competitive
`
`consequences, Juniper takes numerous measures to maintain the secrecy of this information. 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
`
`10
`
`recordable device.” Id. Juniper has also implemented strict screening procedures for visitors at its
`
`11
`
`engineering campus.
`
`12
`
`Perhaps most importantly, publicly exposing the source code presents a security risk.
`
`13
`
`Because the source code is at the center of Juniper’s network security products, permitting the
`
`14
`
`disclosure of the source code could significantly harm the users of Juniper’s products.
`
`15
`
`Accordingly, “compelling reasons” exist for sealing the disclosure of Juniper’s highly
`
`16
`
`confidential source code, and by seeking to seal only the portions that contain the source code,
`
`17
`
`Juniper’s request is narrowly tailored. In light of the foregoing reasons, Juniper respectfully requests
`
`18
`
`that the Court issue an order sealing the disclosure of Juniper’s source code in the documents
`
`19
`
`identified above.
