United States District Court

For the Northern District of California

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SYNOPSYS, INC.,

Plaintiff,

 v.

MENTOR GRAPHICS CORPORATION,

Defendant.

 /

No. C 12-6467 MMC

ORDER ON ADMINISTRATIVE MOTION

TO SEAL DEFENDANT’S MOTION FOR

ATTORNEY FEES AND EXHIBITS

THERETO

Before the Court is defendant Mentor Graphics Corporation’s (“Mentor”)

“Administrative Motion to File Under Seal Motion for Attorney Fees,” filed May 4, 2015,

pursuant to Civil Local Rule 79-5, by which Mentor seeks to file under seal, inter alia,

certain exhibits submitted in support of its motion for attorney fees, which documents have

been designated confidential by plaintiff Synopsys Inc. (“Synopsys”). By order filed May

13, 2015, the Court deferred ruling on the administrative motion to the extent it sought to

seal the entirety of Exhibit F to the declaration of Salumeh Loesch, pending Synopsys’ filing

a supplemental response providing for such document a redacted version limiting the

amount of material sought to be sealed. On May 22, 2015, Synopsys filed its supplemental

response. Having read and considered the supplemental response, the Court finds good

cause for the relief requested therein. 

Accordingly, the Court hereby GRANTS the administrative motion to the extent it

seeks to seal portions of Exhibit F, and the requested portions of said exhibit may remain

under seal.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: May 26, 2015
