`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 Strike New Theories in
`Finjan’s Expert Reports (“Motion to Strike”) and Exhibits A-C, E-M, O-P, R-V, and X-Z to the
`Declaration of David Dotson in support thereof. SonicWall’s Motion to Strike quotes from various
`appendices to Finjan’s Infringement Contentions or Expert Reports each of which has been
`designated as “Highly Confidential – Attorneys’ Eyes Only” or “Highly Confidential – Attorneys’
`Eyes Only – Source Code” pursuant to the terms of the Stipulated Protective Order. Moreover,
`each of the appendices and reports cite to and quote from various internal SonicWall documents,
`such as functional specifications and design materials that SonicWall considers confidential and
`proprietary. Grigg Decl., ¶ 3.
`Exhibits A-C, F-J, L-M, and X-Y to the Dotson Declaration are excerpts from the appendices
`to Finjan’s Infringement Contentions, which have been designated as “Highly Confidential –
`Attorneys’ Eyes Only – Source Code” under the Protective Order because they cite to and quote
`from various internal SonicWall documents and source code that SonicWall considers confidential
`and proprietary.
`Exhibits E, K, and Z to the Dotson Declaration are excerpts from Finjan’s Expert Reports,
`which have been designated as “Highly Confidential – Attorneys’ Eyes Only – Source Code” under
`the Protective Order because they cite to and quote from various internal SonicWall documents and
`source code that SonicWall considers confidential and proprietary.

`
`Lastly, Exhibits D, O-P, and R-V to the Declaration of David Dotson in Support of
`SonicWall’s Motion to Strike Second Supplemental Infringement Contentions quotes from Finjan’s
`First and Second Supplemental Contentions which have been designated as “Highly Confidential –
`Attorneys’ Eyes Only – Source Code” under the Protective Order because they because they cite to
`and quote from various internal SonicWall documents and source code that SonicWall considers
`confidential and proprietary.
`SonicWall contends that public disclosure of this information 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”).
`SonicWall’s administrative motion is narrowly tailored and only seeks to seal the select
`portions of SonicWall’s Motion to Strike that quote from the information designated as Highly-
`Confidential Attorneys’ Eyes Only. 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.
