`
`Pursuant to Civil Local Rules 7-11 and 79-5(d), Amazon.com, Inc., and Amazon Web
`Services, Inc. (collectively, “Amazon”), and Twitch Interactive, Inc. (“Twitch”) hereby move for
`administrative relief to file the following items under seal in connection with Amazon’s Motion for
`Summary Judgment of Noninfringement and Twitch’s Motion for Summary Judgment of
`Noninfringement and to Exclude the Testimony of Erik de la Iglesia (“Motions”).
` Amazon’s Motion for Summary Judgment of Noninfringement at page:line nos.:
`14:2-3, 14:4-5.
` Exhibit 1 to the Declaration of Saina S. Shamilov in Support of Amazon and
`Twitch’s Motions (“Shamilov Declaration”) is the technical report of PersonalWeb
`Technologies, LLC’s (“PersonalWeb”) expert Erik de la Iglesia on infringement.
` Exhibit 2 to the Shamilov Declaration is the responsive report of Amazon and
`Twitch’s expert, Dr. Jon B. Weissman, on non-infringement.
` Exhibit 4 to the Shamilov Declaration is an excerpt from the deposition of James
`Richard (“Richard”).
` Exhibit 7 to the Shamilov Declaration is an excerpt from the deposition of Ronald
`Lachman (“Lachman”).
`Amazon and Twitch request leave to file Exhibits 1-2, 4, and 7 under seal.
`Exhibit 1 is the technical expert report of PersonalWeb’s expert, Erik de la Iglesia, on
`infringement. PersonalWeb Technologies, LLC (“PersonalWeb”) has designated this report as
`“HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” under the Stipulated Protective
`Order entered by the Court in the pending actions, Case Nos. 5:18-md-02834-BLF (Dkt. No. 290)
`and 5:18-cv-00767-BLF (“Current Actions).” Specifically, the expert report attached as Exhibit 1
`includes references to and characterizations of Twitch’s proprietary source code and excerpts of the
`deposition testimony of Twitch’s technical witnesses. The Court previously granted Amazon and
`Twitch’s Administrative Motion to Seal Exhibit 1 for substantially the same reasons. (Dkt. 535.)
`As to information other than the Amazon and Twitch confidential information discussed above,
`Amazon and Twitch file this administrative motion to abide by the terms of the Stipulated Protective
`
`ADMINISTRATIVE MOTION TO FILE UNDER
`SEAL

`Order and to facilitate the filing of their Motions.
`Exhibit 2 is the responsive expert report of Amazon and Twitch’s expert, Dr. Jon B.
`Weissman, on non-infringement. Amazon and Twitch designated this report as “HIGHLY
`CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” under the Stipulated Protective Order entered
`by the Court in the Current Actions. Exhibit 2 similarly includes references to and characterizations
`of Amazon and Twitch’s proprietary source code and excerpts of the deposition testimony of
`Amazon and Twitch’s technical witnesses. Both this highly confidential source code and the
`deposition transcript have been designated under the Stipulated Protective Order, and consist of
`sensitive information that Amazon and Twitch maintain as confidential and do not reveal to the
`general public.
`In the Ninth Circuit, a district court may override the presumption of public access to judicial
`documents where “good cause” is shown. See Phillips ex rel. Estates of Byrd v. General Motors
`Corp., 307 F.3d 1206, 1210 (9th Cir. 2002). “For good cause to exist, the party seeking protection
`bears the burden of showing specific prejudice or harm will result if no protective order is granted.”
`Id. at 1211 (internal citations omitted). A party seeking to file documents under seal in connection
`with a dispositive motion must establish compelling reasons for doing so to rebut the presumption
`against public access. See Foltz v. State Farm Mut. Auto. Ins. Co., 331 F.3d 1122, 1136 (9th Cir.
`2003). As explained in the accompanying Declaration of Ravi R. Ranganath in Support of
`Administrative Motion to File Under Seal Exhibits 1-2, 4, 7 (“Ranganath MFUS Declaration”), the
`confidential and proprietary source code and the excerpted deposition testimony meets this standard.
`See, e.g., Opperman v. Path, Inc., No. 3-cv-00453-JST, 2017 WL 1036652, at *2 (N.D. Cal. Mar.
`17, 2017) (sealing excerpts of developers’ proprietary source code in summary judgment pleadings).
`Amazon and Twitch have designated the Weissman report as “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL
`– ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” in its entirety. Disclosure of confidential and proprietary source
`code and excerpts of depositions of Amazon and Twitch’s technical witnesses would put these
`entities at a competitive disadvantage with respect to competitors and competing services.
`Amazon and Twitch also request leave to file Exhibit 4 under seal. Exhibit 4 contains an
`
`ADMINISTRATIVE. MOTION TO FILE UNDER

`
`excerpt of deposition testimony regarding non-public aspects of the internal operation of Twitch’s
`web servers. Amazon and Twitch designated this item as “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL –
`ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” in the Current Actions.
`As further explained in the Ranganath MFUS Declaration, the confidential deposition
`testimony Amazon and Twitch seek to file under seal meets the Foltz standard. See Phoenix
`Technologies Ltd. v. VMware, Inc., No. 15-cv-01414-HSG, 2018 WL 1169188, at *2 (N.D. Cal. Feb.
`14, 2018) (good cause exists to protect business information that might harm a litigant’s competitive
`standing if disclosed, and where the redaction is “sufficiently narrowly tailored” to only seal portions
`of the exhibit that might put sensitive business information at risk). Disclosure of non-public details
`regarding the operation of Twitch’s services would put it at a competitive disadvantage with respect
`to competitors and competing services.
`Amazon and Twitch also request leave to file Exhibit 7 under seal. The deposition transcript
`was designated “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” (“AEO”) in its
`entirety by PersonalWeb. With respect to this exhibit, Amazon and Twitch seek leave to file under
`seal only to abide by the terms of the Stipulated Protective Order in the Current Actions and to
`facilitate the filing of their Motions. By filing this administrative motion, Amazon and Twitch do
`not waive their right to contest PersonalWeb’s designations and expressly reserve their rights to
`contest the propriety of the designations, in whole or in part. Because PersonalWeb has designated
`this exhibit as highly confidential, Amazon and Twitch also seek leave to file the corresponding
`excerpt in Amazon’s Motion under seal for the same reason outlined above.
