`
`The highlighted portions of Finjan LLC’s Opposition to SonicWall’s Motion to
`
`Strike reflect information SonicWall has designated “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’
`
`EYES ONLY” and/or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY – SOURCE
`
`CODE” under the Protective Order, and from which confidential information regarding SonicWall’s
`
`accused products could be potentially discerned.
`
`4.
`
`Exhibits A–L, N, P–T to the Declaration of Jason W. Wolff in support of Finjan
`
`LLC’s Opposition to SonicWall’s Motion for Partial Summary Judgment (“Wolff Decl.”) reflect
`
`information SonicWall has designated “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES
`
`ONLY” and/or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY – SOURCE CODE”
`
`under the Protective Order, and from which confidential information regarding SonicWall’s accused
`
`products could be potentially discerned.
`
`5.
`
`Exhibit T to the Wolff Decl. reflects “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’
`
`EYES ONLY” information of Finjan, including information relating to Finjan’s business practices
`
`and licensing negotiations. Finjan treats this confidential business and licensing information as
`
`highly confidential within its business and makes substantial efforts not to disclose such information
`
`to the public. Such information could be used by Finjan’s competitors, as it reveals information
`
`related to Finjan’s business practices and dealings, including confidential licensing negotiations.
`
`Accordingly, good cause and compelling reasons exist to seal Exhibit T to the Wolff Declaration.
`
`6.
`
`Plaintiff Finjan has carefully balanced the need to protect highly confidential and
`
`proprietary information along with information that is reasonable for the public to know. Finjan has
`
`demonstrated “compelling reasons” for filing this information under seal.
