PATENT LITIGATION

ORDER RE FILING OF

DOCUMENTS UNDER SEAL

_______________________________/

The parties have submitted for the court's approval, a stipulation and order for

protective order to protect confidential information that may be produced during discovery. 

Included in this proposed order is a provision permitting the parties to file under seal any

pleading, motion paper, deposition transcript or other filed document that includes material

designated by the filing party as confidential. The court approves the protective order insofar

as it sets forth how the parties shall treat confidential information.

However, the court will not approve a broad protective order that essentially gives each

party carte blanche to decide which portions of the record will be sealed and, therefore, not

made part of the public record. See Civil L. R. 79-5 and Citizens First Nat'l Bank v. Cincinnati

Ins. Co., 178 F.3d 943 (7th Cir. 1999). See also Standing Order re Sealed or Confidential

Documents. Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(c) requires the court to determine whether

good cause exists to seal any part of the record of a case. Accordingly, no document shall be

filed under seal, without a court order, narrowly tailored to cover only the document, the

particular portion of the document, or category of documents for which good cause exists for

filing under seal. To that end, if a party wishes to file a document under seal, that party shall

first file a written request for a sealing order setting forth the good cause and accompanied by

a proposed order that is narrowly tailored as specified above. Cf. Proposed Protective Order

It is the responsibility of the party requesting the sealing order to demonstrate good

cause. The court will not grant a request based solely on the ground that the opposing party

has designated the document as confidential. Pursuant to Civ. L. R. 79-5(d), after the

requesting party has lodged the document under seal, the party that originally designated the

document as confidential must file within five days a declaration showing good cause for the

designation, or the document will be made part of the public record.

The court also will not adopt paragraph 17 of the parties’ proposed protective order. 

The use at trial of documents designated as confidential is governed by this court’s Standing

Order re Sealed or Confidential Documents ¶ 5. 

The parties shall revise and resubmit the proposed order in accordance with this order.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
