`II.
`
`ARGUMENT
`A.
`Legal Standard
`There is a presumption of public access to judicial records and documents. Nixon v. Warner
`Commc'ns, Inc., 435 U.S. 589, 597 (1978). However, records attached to non-dispositive motions,
`such is the case here, are not subject to the strong presumption of access. Finjan, Inc. v. Proofpoint,
`Inc, No. 13-CV-05808-HSG, 2015 WL 9023164, at *1 (N.D. Cal. Dec. 16, 2015) (internal citation

`
`omitted). Because the documents attached to non-dispositive motions “are often unrelated, or only
`tangentially related, to the underlying cause of action,” parties moving to seal must meet the lower
`“good cause” standard of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure Rule 26(c). Id. (internal quotation
`marks omitted). 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); see Fed.
`R. Civ. P. 26(c). “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 470, 476 (9th Cir. 1992).
`Sealing is appropriate where the requesting party “establishes that the document, or portions
`thereof is privileged or protectable as a trade secret or otherwise entitled to protection under the
`law.” N.D. Cal. Civ. L.R. 79–5(a). A party must “narrowly tailor” its request to sealable material
`only. Id.
`
`B.
`
`SonicWall’s Administrative Motion to Seal Is Supported By Good Cause and Is
`Narrowly Tailored
`
`SonicWall seeks to seal select portions of SonicWall’s Motion to Compel Further
`Supplemental Infringement Contentions, and Exhibits 3-15 to the Declaration of Robin McGrath in
`support. These documents consist of appendices to Finjan’s Supplemental Infringement
`Contentions, each of which is designated by Finjan as “Highly Confidential – Attorneys’ Eyes Only”
`pursuant to the terms of the Stipulated Protective Order. See Declaration of Patrick S. Salceda in
`Support of Administrative Motion to File Documents Under Seal (“Salceda Declaration”), ¶¶ 3-15.
`Moreover, each of these appendices cite to and quote from various internal SonicWall documents,
`such as functional specifications and design materials that SonicWall considers confidential and
`proprietary and are not to be disclosed without the consent of SonicWall. Salceda Decl., ¶ 16. Public
`disclosure of the information contained in Exhibits 3-15 to the McGrath Declaration would cause
`irreparable harm to SonicWall. Id.; see also Andrx Pharms., LLC v. GlaxoSmithKline, 236 F.R.D.
`583, 586 (S.D. Fla. 2006) (“Courts dress technical information with a heavy cloak of judicial
`protection because of the threat of serious economic injury to the disclosure of scientific
`information.”); Network Appliance, Inc. v. Sun Microsys. Inc., 2010 WL 841274, at *5 (N.D. Cal.

`
`Mar. 10, 2010) (granting application to seal “information regarding NetApp’s internal usability
`testing of its software”).
`Further, SonicWall’s administrative motion is narrowly tailored and only seeks to seal those
`exhibits designated Highly-Confidential Attorneys’ Eyes Only and the select portions of
`SonicWall’s Motion to Compel that quote from these designated exhibits. See Kowalsky v. Hewlett-
`Packard Co., 2012 WL 892427, at *2 (N.D. Cal. Mar. 14, 2012) (finding sealing appropriate where
`“[t]he proposed redactions contain[ed] . . . confidential product development information, the
`disclosure of which could harm [the defendant's] competitive advantage in the marketplace.”).
`III. CONCLUSION
`For these reasons, SonicWall respectfully requests that the Court grant its Administrative
`Motion to Seal.
