`
`INTRODUCTION
`
`Plaintiff Finjan, LLC (“Finjan”), having reviewed and complied with Civil Local Rule 79-
`
`5, hereby moves the Court for permission to file under seal the following documents:
`
`Designating
`Party
`
`Qualys
`
`Identification of
`Documents to be
`Sealed
`Plaintiff Finjan
`LLC’s Letter to the
`Honorable Yvonne
`Gonzales Rogers
`from Finjan LLC Re
`Qualys Inc.’s Letter
`Requesting a Pre-
`Filing Conference for
`its Summary
`Judgment Motions
`
`Portion of
`Document to be
`Sealed
`Highlighted
`portions at :
`pg. 1, lines 15-19,
`21-22, 27-28;
`pg. 2, lines 1-3, 8-
`12, 15-23;
`pg. 3, lines 1-2
`
`
`Reason(s) for Sealing
`
`This document reflects
`information that Qualys
`designated “HIGHLY
`CONFIDENTIAL –
`ATTORNEYS’ EYES
`ONLY” under the Protective
`Order (ECF 34), and from
`which confidential
`information regarding
`Qualys’s accused products
`could be potentially
`discerned. See Declaration of
`Jason W. Wolff (“Wolff
`Decl.”) ¶ 3.
`
`Filed concurrently herewith and pursuant to Civ. L.R. 79-5(c) are the confidential version of
`
`Plaintiff Finjan, Inc.’s Letter To The Honorable Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers From Finjan LLC
`
`Regarding Qualys Inc.’s Letter Requesting A Pre-Filing Conference For Its Summary Judgment
`
`Motion, as well as a public redacted version of the Motion.
`
`II.
`
`ARGUMENT
`
`A.
`
`Legal Standard
`
`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 or articulated
`
`reasoning” will not suffice. Beckman Indus., Inc. v. Int’l Ins. Co., 966 F.2d 470, 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).
`
`B.
`
`Finjan’s Administrative Motion to Seal Is Supported by Good Cause and is
`
`Narrowly Tailored
`
`Good cause exists to file the documents in question under seal, as described in the
`
`10
`
`Declaration of Jason W. Wolff In Support of Finjan Inc.’s Motion to File under Seal its Letter To
`
`11
`
`The Honorable Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers From Finjan LLC Regarding Qualys Inc.’s Letter
`
`12
`
`Requesting A Pre-Filing Conference For Its Summary Judgment Motion (“Wolff Decl.”)
`
`13
`
`accompanying this motion to seal.
`
`14
`
`Finjan’s request is narrowly tailored to seal only information that has been designated as
`
`15
`
`confidential pursuant to the protective order entered in this case. For the foregoing reasons, Finjan
`
`16
`
`respectfully requests that the Court grant its request that the documents described above remain
`
`17
`
`under seal.
