`
`
`
`Pursuant to Civil Local Rules 79-5 and 7-11, Plaintiff Applied Materials, Inc. (“Applied”)
`hereby requests the Court to seal portions of Applied’s Answer, Affirmative Defenses and
`Counterclaims (“Answer”) to Counterclaims of Demaray LLC (“Demaray”) and exhibits attached
`thereto, as they contains highly confidential business information relating to Applied’s product
`details and configurations.
`In compliance with the applicable rules, Applied requests to file under seal the following
`portions of its Answer and exhibits attached thereto:
`• Body of Answer: highlighted portions and images on pages 22-25 and 27-31.
`• Exhibit 1 (Applied Materials Electra IMP Ta/TaN Chamber Manual)
`In support of this Motion, Applied states:
`1.
`A protective order issued in this action on July 14, 2022. Dkt. 157.
`2.
`The above exhibit and supporting text contain highly confidential business
`information including details of proprietary reactor technology. Applied has invested significant
`financial and technical resources in developing its proprietary reactor technology and public
`dissemination of the information could cause Applied and its customers competitive and financial
`harm by revealing proprietary and confidential information specific to Applied’s trade secrets and
`intellectual property.
`3.
`Applied is filing herewith the Declaration of Akshay S. Deoras in Support of
`Applied’s Administrative Motion to File Under Seal and a Proposed Order.
