`Plaintiff,

`
`Case No. 2:22-cv-01599 JCC
`[PROPOSED] ORDER GRANTING
`APPLE INC.’S MOTION TO SEAL
`Noted for Hearing: April 14, 2023
`
`
`The Court, having received and reviewed Apple Inc.’s Motion to Seal (the “Motion”), any
`Response to the Motion, and Reply supporting the motion, all materials sought to be sealed,
`HEREBY FINDS, CONCLUDES, and ORDERS that:
`Apple Inc. has shown compelling reasons to seal the Global Tenets Agreement (“GTA”)
`attached as Exhibit A to its Motion to Dismiss and narrow portions of its Motion to Dismiss quot-
`ing the contents of the GTA. These materials contain confidential business information that, if
`made public, could harm Apple Inc.’s competitive standing by providing Apple Inc.’s competi-
`tors and potential future business partners with information about the terms to which Apple Inc.
`agreed in the GTA.
`
`[PROPOSED] ORDER GRANTING
`MOTION TO SEAL - 2:22-cv-01599 JCC

`
`
`
`No means other than the sealing and redaction proposed by Apple Inc. will protect the
`confidential business information in the GTA, the protection of which outweighs the public right
`of access to court records.
`Apple Inc.’s Motion to Seal is therefore GRANTED. Exhibit A and the portion of its Mo-
`tion to Dismiss quoting the contents of that exhibit previously filed under seal shall be maintained
`
`under seal.
