UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

TVIIM, LLC,

Plaintiff,

v.

MCAFEE, INC.,

Defendant.

Case No. 13-cv-04545-HSG 

ORDER SEALING CERTAIN 

DOCUMENTS AND DIRECTING 

DEFENDANT TO SUBMIT 

HIGHLIGHTED UNREDACTED 

DOCUMENTS

On June 10, 2015, the Court issued an Order denying certain administrative motions to file 

documents under seal. Dkt. No. 171. On June 15, 2015, Defendant filed supplemental 

declarations in support of the motions to seal. Dkt. Nos. 173-76. 

Defendant’s amended declaration of Laurie Charrington in support of Plaintiff’s motion to 

file documents under seal, and the accompanying exhibits lodged with the Court, identify those 

specific portions of the documents at issue that should be sealed. Dkt. No. 173. Those portions of 

the documents contain confidential “financial information,” “business and marketing strategies,” 

“product development and design choices,” “technical product information,” “sales information,” 

“quality assurance timelines and strategies,” and product testing information. Id. ¶¶ 6-15. The 

Court finds that Defendant’s proposed redactions of exhibits 1-4, 6, 8-9, 11, and 18-19 to the 

declaration of John Shaeffer in support of Plaintiff’s motion to exclude certain expert testimony of 

Lance Gunderson, as well as the motion to exclude itself, are “narrowly tailored” to seal only 

sealable material, as required by Civil Local Rule 79-5. Defendant shall publicly file redacted 

versions of those documents by June 19, 2015.

The other amended declarations filed by Defendant do not identify those specific portions 

of the documents at issue that should be sealed. See Dkt. Nos. 174-76. While the declarations 

indicate that Defendant “will lodge with the Court and serve on Plaintiff . . . an unredacted copy of
