`I.
`
`INTRODUCTION
`Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(c), Civil Local Rules 7-11 and 79-5, and
`the Stipulated Protective Order, Defendant Qualys Inc. (“Qualys”) respectfully brings this Second
`Administrative Motion to File Documents Under Seal. Specifically, there are compelling reasons
`to file the following portions of the document under seal as identified below:
`
`Identification of Documents to be
`Sealed
`
`Motion to Strike
`Exhibit 8 to Defendant Qualys Inc.’s
`Motion to Strike Portions of Plaintiff
`Finjan LLC’s Infringement and
`Damages Expert Reports (Finjan’s
`Damages Contentions, served October
`30, 2019)
`
`Portion to be
`Sealed
`Selected Portions
`Entire Excerpted
`Document
`
`Entity That Designated
`the Information As
`Confidential
`Qualys
`Finjan designated the
`document “HIGHLY
`CONFIDENTIAL –
`ATTORNEYS EYES’
`ONLY”
`
`II.
`
`ARGUMENT
`Under Fed. Rule Civ. P. 26(c)(1)(G), the Court may, in its discretion and for good cause,
`issue an order “requiring that a trade secret or other confidential research, development, or
`commercial information not be revealed or be revealed only in a specified way.” Similarly, in this
`Circuit, the Court may seal documents and information in the case of a dispositive motion if there
`are “compelling reasons” to do so, and where “good cause” exists in the case of non-dispositive
`motions. Ctr. For Auto Safety v. Chrysler Grp., LLC, 809 F.3d 1092, 1095-1100 (9th Cir. 2016). A
`motion is considered “non-dispositive” when the motion is no more than “tangentially related” to
`the underlying cause of action. Id. at 1099. The “good cause” standard requires a “particularized
`showing” that “specific prejudice or harm will result” if the information is disclosed. Phillips ex
`rel. Estates of Byrd v. Gen Motors Corp.¸ 307 F.3d 1206, 1210-11 (9th Cir. 2002) (internal
`quotation marks omitted). “Broad allegations of harm, unsubstantiated by specific examples of
`articulated reasoning” will not suffice. Beckman Indus., Inc. v. Int’l Ins. Co., 966 F.2d 476 (9th
`Cir. 1992). A request to seal material “must be narrowly tailored to seek sealing only of sealable
`material.” L.R. 79-5(b).

`
`Qualys seeks to seal the attached exhibit, which contain Qualys confidential information as
`detailed in the Declaration of Christopher D. Mays accompanying this second motion to seal.
`Qualys has narrowly tailored its request with this Administrative Motion seeking to file under seal
`only the documents containing confidential information pursuant to the Stipulated Protective
`Order governing treatment of confidential information exchanged during discovery.
`III.
`CONCLUSION
`Qualys has shown good cause and compelling reasons for this request to file the above-
`referenced portions of the documents under seal. This request is narrowly tailored to seal only
`information that is regarded as confidential. For these reasons, Qualys respectfully requests that
`the Court grant its Administrative Motion to File Documents Under Seal.
