`
`
`Pursuant to Civil Local Rules 79-5 and 7-11 Governing Administrative Motions to Seal and
`
`to Consider Whether Another Party’s Material Should be Sealed, non-parties Samsung Electronics
`
`Co., Ltd., Samsung Electronics America, Inc., Samsung Semiconductor, Inc., and Samsung Austin
`
`Semiconductor, LLC (collectively “Samsung”), hereby bring this Statement in Response to
`
`Plaintiff Applied Materials, Inc.’s (“Applied” or “Plaintiff”) Administrative Motion to Seal
`
`Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. (A Korean Company), Samsung Electronics America, Inc.,
`
`Samsung Semiconductor, Inc., and Samsung Austin Semiconductor, LLC’s Confidential
`
`Information (Dkt. 206) in connection with Applied’s Motion for Summary Judgment of Non-
`
`Infringement (public version filed at Dkt. 204). In particular, certain portions of Exhibit 29 to
`
`Applied’s Motion for Summary Judgment of Non-Infringement contain information that is
`
`confidential to Samsung.
`
`As to information designated for redaction, Samsung’s requests are narrowly tailored to seal
`
`only information that would create a substantial risk of harm if publicly disclosed. For the foregoing
`
`reasons, Samsung respectfully requests that the Court grant Samsung’s request to file the document
`
`described below and designated by Samsung under seal.

`redacted at: Exhibit A,
`
`Local Civil Rules 79-5(c) and (f).
`The redacted information recited
`on Exhibit A, Pages 4–5, and
`Exhibit B, Page 4 contains
`confidential information relating
`to Samsung’s internal
`manufacturing processes,
`specifically the equipment used to
`manufacture Samsung’s
`semiconductor products. Samsung
`keeps this information about its
`semiconductor manufacturing
`equipment confidential because

`that information is valuable to
`Samsung. If this information
`becomes publicly filed,
`Samsung’s competitors would
`gain insight into Samsung’s
`business strategies and technical
`aspects of Samsung’s product
`development process, which
`would harm Samsung’s
`competitive standing in the
`market. This harm cannot be
`avoided through any less
`restrictive alternative to sealing.
`
`This statement complies with Civil Local Rule 79-5. Pursuant to Civil Local Rules 79-5(c)
`
`and (f), this statement is accompanied by the following documents: (1) Declaration of Akshay S.
`
`Deoras in support of this statement; and (2) A proposed order.
