`I. INTRODUCTION
`Qualcomm respectfully submits this further application to seal two lines from the Motion
`for Summary Judgment as well as narrowed and targeted portions of two reports submitted by
`Plaintiffs’ expert Einer Elhauge and filed with Qualcomm’s Motion for Summary Judgment,
`consistent and co-existent with its pending application to seal the same materials (Dkt. 929),
`which is currently before the Court and incorporated herein.
`Qualcomm does not seek to seal anything additional to or different from its pending
`application to seal but files this further application solely to avoid any question of waiver. Third-
`parties previously filed requests to seal portions of these same expert reports (Dkts. 903 and 904)
`and third-party Apple, Inc. has indicated that it also may seek to seal certain portions of the
`reports (Dkt. 934). Qualcomm’s Motion for Summary Judgment also references one or more
`portions of these reports that are the subject of the pending requests to seal.
`Upon the Court’s resolution of the pending requests to seal, Qualcomm will publicly file
`redacted versions of the two Elhauge reports and its Motion for Summary Judgment consistent
`with any Orders that the Court issues.
`
`
`II. QUALCOMM SEEKS TO SEAL ONLY THE SAME PORTIONS OF THE REPORTS
`THAT ARE THE SUBJECT OF ITS PENDING REQUEST TO SEAL
`
`With their opposition to Qualcomm’s Motion to Dismiss, Plaintiffs submitted under seal
`the Expert Report of Einer R. Elhauge and the Reply Expert Report of Einer R. Elhauge
`(“Elhauge Reports”) (Dkts. 900-1, 900-2). Qualcomm and certain third-parties requested that
`certain portions of the Elhauge Reports be sealed (Dkts. 903, 904, 905). The Court issued an
`Order (Dkt. 922) on Qualcomm’s initial request. Qualcomm submitted a more targeted request to
`seal limited portions of the Elhauge Reports (Dkt. 929), and the Court issued a requested order
`extending the deadline to file public versions of the reports while it considered the renewed
`request (Dkt. 930). Cf. Ovonic Battery Co. v. Sanyo Electric Co., No. 14-cv-01637-JD, 2014 WL
`2758756, at *2 (N.D. Cal. June 17, 2014) (permitting party to file “renewed” sealing application);
`Ovonic Battery Co. v. Sanyo Electric Co., No. 14-cv-01637-JD, 2014 WL 3749152, at *2-3 (N.D.
`Cal. July 24, 2014) (granting party’s “renewed” sealing application). Qualcomm’s renewed

`
`request to seal and its Proposed Order (Dkt. 929-5) remain pending as of this date. Apple also
`indicated that it may seek to seal certain portions of the same reports. (Dkt. 934).
`Qualcomm submits the same Elhauge Reports, attached under seal as Exhibits 1 and 2 to
`the Declaration of Cody S. Harris, with its Motion for Summary Judgment. With Qualcomm’s
`pending request to seal limited portions of the Elhauge Reports (Dkt. 929), it submitted a
`supporting declaration (Dkt. 929-1). In that pending request, Qualcomm provided compelling
`reasons why the targeted portions of the Elhauge Reports should be sealed. See Kamakana v.
`City & Cty. of Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172, 1179 (9th Cir. 2006) (sealing trade secrets); FTC v.
`Qualcomm Inc., No. 17-CV-00220-LHK, 2019 WL 95922, at *3 (N.D. Cal. Jan. 3, 2019) (sealing
`“confidential contracts” and “contract negotiations”); Krieger v. Atheros Commc’ns, Inc., No. 11-
`CV-00640-LHK, 2011 WL 2550831, at *1 (N.D. Cal. June 25, 2011) (sealing financial
`projections and “discussions of business strategy”); Ctr. For Auto Safety v. Chrysler Grp., LLC,
`809 F.3d 1092, 1097 (9th Cir. 2016) (sealing “business information that might harm a litigant’s
`competitive standing”).
`Because a request to seal portions of the same documents is currently pending before the
`Court, Qualcomm does not burden the Court with a duplicative request but incorporates by
`reference its pending request and supporting declaration (Dkts. 929 and 929-1). When the Court
`issues an Order on the pending request and the requests from any third-parties, Qualcomm will
`file public, redacted versions of the Elhauge Reports and of Qualcomm’s Motion for Summary
`Judgment that are the subject of the pending requests to seal on the docket for its Motion for
`Summary Judgment.
`
`III. CONCLUSION
`For the foregoing reasons, Qualcomm respectfully requests that the Court grant the
`pending renewed application to seal the narrow portions of the Elhauge Reports, as reflected in
`the Proposed Order submitted therewith (Dkt. 929-5). Upon the Court’s Order on the pending
`requests, Qualcomm will file public, redacted versions of the Elhauge Reports and its Motion for
`Summary Judgment. If the Court prefers a different procedure to address the sealing of the
`Elhauge Reports as part of Qualcomm’s Motion for Summary Judgment, Qualcomm will comply
