`
`Exhibits A–F to the Declaration of Robert Courtney in support of Motion to Preclude

`
`Exhibit E to the Courtney Becker Decl. (ECF No. 350-6) additionally contains
`
`information regarding Finjan’s business practices and licensing negotiations, which Finjan
`
`designated as “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” subject to the
`
`Protective Order. 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 to gain an advantage in negotiations
`
`with Finjan as well as to harm it in the market place, as it reveals information related to Finjan’s
`
`internal business practices and dealings. Thus, Finjan’s interests in confidentiality would be
