NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

FINISAR CORPORATION,

Plaintiff,

v.

NISTICA, INC.,

Defendant.

Case No. 13-cv-03345-BLF (JSC)

UNSEALING ORDER

Re: Dkt. No. 206

On April 29, 2014, the Court granted Finisar’s motion to amend infringement contentions 

and granted in part Nistica’s motion to amend invalidity contentions. (Dkt. No. 204.) The Court 

filed the April 29 Order under seal because various matters referenced therein were filed under 

seal in this matter. (Id. at 24.) However, the Court noted that it was “not persuaded that the 

entirety of th[e] Order is confidential and properly sealable[,]” and required the parties to inform 

the Court by May 4 what information, if any, within the Order must remain sealed. (Id. at 25.) 

The Court advised the parties that “[f]ailure to file such a statement will result in the unsealing of 

th[e] Order in its entirety.” (Id.) Finisar has since filed such a statement, identifying 10 lines on 

Page 10 of the Order that should remained sealed. (Dkt. No. 206.) Finisar argues that these 10

lines cite to and describe the contents of declarations that the Court has already determined are 

sealable in their entirety as they disclose confidential, trade secret, and proprietary product 

information regarding the development of Finisar’s products. (See id. at 3.) The Court agrees. 

Accordingly, Finisar is ORDERED to file on the public docket a copy of the April 29 Order with 

its proposed redactions.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: May 11, 2015
