`
`Civil Action No. 1:19-cv-11586-FDS
`
`
`UNOPPOSED MOTION TO IMPOUND/SEAL DESIGNATED
`MATERIAL
`
`Pursuant to Local Rule 7.2 and the Order Adopting Discovery Stipulation and Modified
`
`Protective Order in this case (ECF No. 59, the “Protective Order”), Plaintiff Philips North America
`
`LLC (“Philips”) respectfully requests the Court to impound (seal) Plaintiff’s Opposition to Fitbit’s
`
`Motion to Strike Portions of the Expert Report and Exclude Certain Opinions and Testimony of
`
`Dr. Michael P. Akemann (“Philips’s Opposition”) as well as Exhibits 1 and 3 filed in support
`
`thereof.
`
`The Protective Order allows parties to designate discovery material that contains or
`
`constitutes confidential business information as “CONFIDENTIAL.” As grounds for this Motion,
`
`Philips states that Philips’s Opposition, Exhibits 1 and 3 contains discussion of Fitbit and Philips’s
`
`confidential business information. Specifically, Philips’s Opposition discusses details of certain of
`
`Philips’s licenses with third-parties that are designated confidential under the protective order.
`
`Exhibit 1 is Fitbit’s damages rebuttal expert report and contains confidential information regarding
`
`confidential negotiations between Fitbit and Philips as well as confidential financial information
`
`of both Fitbit and Philips. Exhibit 3 is excerpts from the deposition of Philips’s damages expert,
`

`
`
`Case 1:19-cv-11586-FDS Document 322 Filed 02/23/22 Page 2 of 4
`
`
`
`Michael P. Akemann that contains Philips’s confidential licensing information and has been
`
`designated as confidential under the protective order.
`
`Additionally, Philips has filed a redacted version of Philips’s Opposition (ECF No. 320)
`
`with redactions of the portions of Philips’s Opposition that contain details of Philips’s confidential
`
`third-party licenses.
`
`For the foregoing reasons, Philips respectfully requests that the Court permit Philips to file
`
`under seal Philips’s Opposition, Exhibits 1 and 3 in support thereof. Philips further requests that
`
`these documents remain impounded until further Order by the Court, and that upon expiration of
`
`the impoundment, this document be returned to Philips’s counsel.
