`
`
`
`UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
`FOR THE DISTRICT OF MASSACHUSETTS
`
`
`PHILIPS NORTH AMERICA LLC,
`
`v.
`
`FITBIT, INC.,
`
`Plaintiff,
`
`Defendant.
`
`Civil Action No. 1:19-cv-11586-FDS
`
`
`UNOPPOSED MOTION TO IMPOUND/SEAL PRESENTATION
`
`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) Philips’s Presentation for
`
`Summary Judgment Motions (“Presentation”).
`
`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 Presentation contain discussion of Fitbit’s confidential business
`
`information. Specifically, these slides discuss confidential business information relating to certain
`
`features of Fitbit’s accused smart watch and fitness trackers and describe confidential business
`
`information relating to Fitbit’s marketing strategies.
`
`Additionally, in response to a subpoena, Icon Health & Fitness (“Icon”), a third party to
`
`this matter, produced documents related to the design and operation of several of their fitness
`
`products and services and marked these documents as confidential under the Protective Order
`
`because Icon believed them to include confidential business information. Icon likewise designated
`
`the transcript of the deposition of one of their employees, Ms. Logan, as confidential under the
`
`Protective Order. Several of the slides in Philips’s Presentation include excerpts from Ms. Logan’s
`
`
`
`

`
`deposition transcript and/or from Fitbit’s technical expert’s invalidity report (designated by Fitbit
`
`as confidential under the Protective Order) that discuss the documents and testimony of Ms. Logan
`
`that was marked by Icon as confidential.
`
`Further, Philips has filed a redacted version of Philip’s Presentation for Summary Judgment
`
`Motions with redactions of only the slides that discuss Fitbit or Icon confidential business
`
`information.
`
`For the foregoing reasons, Philips respectfully requests that the Court permit Philips to file
`
`under seal Philips’s Summary Judgment Hearing Slides. Philips further requests that these
`
`documents remain impounded until further Order by the Court, and that upon expiration of the
`
`impoundment, these document be returned to Philips’s counsel.
