 Plaintiff and Counterclaim-Defendant Monolithic Power Systems, Inc. (“MPS”) moves 

for leave to file under seal Exhibit 1 to the Declaration of Franklin D. Kang in Support of MPS’s 

Motion for Leave to File a Motion for Partial Reconsideration of Order Denying MPS and 

ASUSTeK’s Motion for Summary Judgment of Non-Infringement, which contains excerpts from 

the Initial Determination on Violation of Section 337 and Recommended Determination of 

Remedy and Bond from the International Trade Commission Proceeding, In the Matter of 

Certain Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp (“CCFL”) Inverter Circuits and Products Containing 

Same, Investigation No. 337-TA-666 (the “ITC Proceeding”), issued by Administrative Law 

Judge E. James Gildea on April 19, 2010. 

 MPS has established that Exhibit 1 to the Kang Declaration is excerpted from a document 

that has been marked by the ITC as Confidential Business Information, Subject to the Protective 

Order in the ITC proceeding. The Court recognizes that the public interest favors filing court 

documents in the public record and that requests for filings under seal be narrowly tailored. The 

Court is further informed that the ITC has ordered that the parties to the ITC Proceeding must 

submit by April 26, 2010 to the ITC their requests to redact confidential business information, 

and that the ITC will thereafter make available to the public a redacted version of its Initial 

Determination, and that MPS will thereafter file in open court a public version of Exhibit 1 after 

the ITC releases a public version of its Initial Determination. 

 Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Exhibit 1 to the Kang Declaration be filed 

under seal at this time, and that a supplemental/redacted public version of Exhibit 1 be filed in 

open court after the ITC issues a public version of its Initial Determination. 

 IT IS SO ORDERED. 

Dated: May 4, 2010
