MAGMA’S ADMIN. MOT. TO FILE UNDER SEAL 

DOCUMENTS RE: MOTION FOR LEAVE TO AMEND

C-04-03923 MMC

Magma Design Automation, Inc. (“Magma”) hereby moves pursuant to Civil Local Rule 

79-5 for leave to file under seal the entirety of Exhibits 13 and 14 to the Declaration of Michael

Sapoznikow In Support Of Magma’s Motion For Leave To Amend Answer And Counterclaims 

To Plaintiff Synopsys, Inc.’s Third Amended Complaint (“Magma’s Motion For Leave To 

Amend”).

Magma’s Motion For Leave To Amend relies in part on testimony and documents that

contain highly confidential business, trade secret or personal identifying information or have been 

designated as confidential under a Stipulated Protective Order. Pursuant to the request of 

Synopsys, Inc. and resulting agreement and pursuant to a Stipulated Protective Order with third

party International Business Machines Corporation (“IBM”), Magma seeks to file the following 

documents and testimony under seal:

1. Exhibit 13 to the Declaration of Michael Sapoznikow consists of a letter from 

Esther La to Christopher Catalano dated October 20, 2005. That letter discloses the identity of 

the third party to whom Synopsys offered to sell the inventions embodied in the ‘446 and ‘438 

Patents more than a year prior to the filing of the patent application. Although Synopsys did not 

designate this letter under the proposed protective order, Synopsys has argued that the identity of 

that third party is confidential business information.

2. Exhibit 14 to the Declaration of Michael Sapoznikow includes excerpts from the

deposition transcript of Robert Damiano taken on October 18, 2005. That deposition was 

designated by Synopsys “Highly Confidential” pursuant to the Stipulated Protective Order..

Accordingly, this motion is made on the grounds that the entirety of Exhibits 13 and 14 to 

the Declaration of Michael Sapoznikow contain highly confidential business, trade secret or 

personal identifying information or have been designated confidential and are properly sealable.
