`KASTENS DECL. IN SUPPORT OF ADMIN.
` CASE NO.: 18-cv-07229-YGR
`MOTION TO FILE DOCUMENTS UNDER SEAL
`
`I, Kristopher Kastens, declare as follows:
`1.
`I am an attorney with the law firm of Kramer Levin Naftalis & Frankel LLP (“Kramer
`Levin”), counsel of record for Plaintiff Finjan, Inc. (“Finjan”). I have personal knowledge of the facts
`set forth in this declaration and can testify competently to those facts. I make this declaration in
`support of the parties’ Administrative Motion to File Documents Under Seal pursuant to Civil Local
`Rules 79-5(d) and 79-5(e).
`2.
`I have reviewed the following documents and confirmed that they contain information
`that Finjan designated as confidential pursuant to the stipulated protective order in this litigation.

`3.
`Finjan seeks to seal portions of the above documents because they reveal Finjan’s
`confidential financial information, and confidential licensing terms between Finjan and third party
`licensees or third parties whom Finjan has communicated with regarding its confidential licensing
`negotiations. The Ninth Circuit has established that this type of confidential business information
`“plainly falls within the definition of ‘trade secrets.’” In re Electronic Arts, Inc., 298 Fed. Appx. 568,
`569-70 (9th Cir. 2008) (district court erred by denying to seal confidential licensing terms); see also
`Apple, Inc. v. Samsung Elecs. Co., No. 11-cv-01846-LHK, 2012 WL 3283478 at *7 (N.D. Cal. Aug. 9,
`2012) (granting the sealing of licensing agreements because disclosure would cause “significant
`competitive harm to the licensing parties as it would provide insight into the structure of their licensing
`deals, forcing them into an uneven bargaining position in future negotiations”); Open Text S.A. v. Box,
`Inc., No. 13-cv-04910-JD, 2014 WL 7368594, at *3 (N.D. Cal. Dec. 26, 2014) (granting motion to seal
`pricing terms of license agreement). Finjan takes substantial measures within the company to maintain
`the confidentiality of terms discussed in license agreements or during its licensing negotiations, and
`prevent this type of confidential business information from being made public. If the general public
`including competitors gain access to Finjan’s confidential licensing information, Finjan will be placed
`at an unfair disadvantage in future business and licensing negotiations. Finjan requests leave to file the
`documents set forth above under seal because Finjan designated certain financial and business
`information in it as “Highly Confidential – Attorneys’ Eyes Only.”
`
` I
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
` declare under the penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States of America that each
`of the above statements is true and correct. Executed on September 4, 2020, in Menlo Park, CA.
