 1. Papers Submitted For Filing Under Seal in Their Entireties 

Pursuant to Civil Local Rules 7-11 and 79-5(b), Defendants Abbott Cardiovascular Systems 

Inc., Abbott Laboratories, And Abbott Vascular, Inc. (collectively “Abbott”) hereby request leave of 

Court to file under seal in their entireties the following documents being lodged with the Clerk: 

• Exhibits to Abbott’s Answering Claim Construction Brief 

Exhibits 1, 2, 3, 4, 29, 30, 31, and 32 to Defendants Abbott Cardiovascular Systems Inc., 

Abbott Laboratories, and Abbott Vascular, Inc.’s Answering Claim Construction Brief are 

documents that have been designated as Confidential or Highly Confidential by Plaintiffs. In 

addition, Exhibits 16 and 39 were designated as Confidential or Highly Confidential by the 

defendants in the Isostent, LLC v. LPL Sys, Inc., No. 1-02-CV-804863 (Cal. Super. Ct. Sept. 1, 

2004) matter. Abbott does not contend that these documents are confidential, but is submitting these 

documents for possible filing under seal pursuant to its obligations under the Protective Order and 

Civil L.R. 79-5(d) and (e). 

2. Papers Submitted for Partial Filing Under Seal 

Abbott is not asserting that any portion of Abbott’s Answering Claim Construction Brief is 

confidential. However, Abbott’s brief at page 26 cites to Ex. 29, which Plaintiffs have designated as 

Highly Confidential. 

Accordingly, and pursuant to its obligations under the Protective Order and Civil L.R. 79-

5(d), Abbott respectfully requests leave of Court to file under seal the portion of the 

HIGHLIGHTED, CONFIDENTIAL version of its brief that, at page 26, reveals information that has 

been designated confidential. 

As required by Civil Local Rule 79-5(c), Defendants are lodging with the Clerk highlighted 

and redacted copies of said brief, as follows: 

• HIGHLIGHTED, CONFIDENTIAL versions of Defendants Abbott Cardiovascular 

Systems Inc., Abbott Laboratories, and Abbott Vascular, Inc.’s Answering Claim 

Construction Brief in which the asserted confidential information at page 26 is 

highlighted for filing under seal and for Judge Hamilton’s chambers; and
