District courts apply regional circuit law with respect to motions to seal in patent cases.
“In the Third Circuit, the right is particularly robust.” In re Application of Storag Etzel GmbH for an Ord., Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1782, to Obtain Discovery for Use in a Foreign Proceeding, No. 19-cv-209, 2020 WL 2949742, at *7 (D. Del.
To overcome the strong presumption of access that attaches to judicial records, a movant must show that an interest in secrecy outweighs the presumption by demonstrating that the material is the kind of information that courts will protect and that disclosure will work a clearly defined and serious injury to the party seeking closure.
A party's sensitive strategic plans are a type of information that courts may protect from public disclosure.
Finally, both Caterpillar and Wirtgen seek to seal their non-public finances including sales, costs, revenues, and profit.
