Filed concurrently herewith and pursuant to Civ. L.R. 79-5(c) are the confidential versions

of Plaintiff Finjan Inc.’s Motion In Limine No. 4 to Preclude Reliance on Undisclosed NonInfringement Theories and Exhibits 7-15 to the Omnibus Declaration of Megan A. Chacon in 

Support of Plaintiff’s Motions In Limine Nos. 1-5 (“Omnibus Chacon Declaration”), as well as 

public redacted versions of the same.

II. ARGUMENT

A. Legal Standard

Under Fed. Rule Civ. P. 26(c)(1)(G), the Court may, in its discretion and for good cause, 

issue an order “requiring that a trade secret or other confidential research, development, or 

commercial information not be revealed or be revealed only in a specified way.” Similarly, in this 

Circuit, the Court may seal documents and information in the case of a dispositive motion if there 

are “compelling reasons” to do so, and where “good cause” exists in the case of non-dispositive 

motions. Ctr. For Auto Safety v. Chrysler Grp., LLC, 809 F.3d 1092, 1095-1100 (9th Cir. 2016). 

A motion is considered “non-dispositive” when the motion is no more than “tangentially related” to 

the underlying cause of action. Id. at 1099. The “good cause” standard requires a “particularized 

showing” that “specific prejudice or harm will result” if the information is disclosed. Phillips ex 

rel. Estates of Byrd v. Gen Motors Corp. ̧ 307 F.3d 1206, 1210-11 (9th Cir. 2002) (internal quotation 

marks omitted). “Broad allegations of harm, unsubstantiated by specific examples of articulated 

reasoning” will not suffice. Beckman Indus., Inc. v. Int’l Ins. Co., 966 F.2d 476 (9th Cir. 1992). A 

request to seal material “must be narrowly tailored to seek sealing only of sealable material.” L.R. 

79-5(b).

B. Finjan’s Administrative Motion to Seal Is Supported by Good Cause and is 

Narrowly Tailored

Good cause exists to file the documents in question under seal, as described in the 

Declaration of K. Nicole Williams In Support of Finjan Inc.’s Motion to File under Seal its Motion 

In Limine No. 4 to Preclude Reliance on Undisclosed Non-Infringement Theories and Exhibits 

accompanying this motion to seal (“Williams Decl.”) accompanying this motion to seal.

Finjan seeks to seal the portions of its Motion in Limine No. 4 at page 1, lines 8-9, 17-20, 

22, 24-25; page 3, lines 1, 9-13, 27; page 4, lines 2-4, 6, 13-14 because these portions reflect 

information Cisco has designated as Highly Confidential – Attorneys’ Eyes Only under the 

Protective Order. Williams Decl. at ¶ 3. 

Finjan seeks to seal Exhibit 7 to the Chacon Declaration in its entirety because it contains 

information Cisco has designated as Highly Confidential – Attorneys’ Eyes Only under the 

Protective Order. Williams Decl. at ¶ 4. 

Finjan seeks to seal Exhibit 8 to the Chacon Declaration in its entirety because it contains 

information Cisco has designated as Highly Confidential – Attorneys’ Eyes Only under the 

Protective Order. Williams Decl. at ¶ 5. 

Finjan seeks to seal Exhibit 9 to the Chacon Declaration in its entirety because it contains 

information Cisco has designated as Highly Confidential – Attorneys’ Eyes Only under the 

Protective Order. Williams Decl. at ¶ 6. 

Finjan seeks to seal Exhibit 10 to the Chacon Declaration in its entirety because it contains 

information Cisco has designated as Highly Confidential – Attorneys’ Eyes Only under the 

Protective Order. Williams Decl. at ¶ 7. 

Finjan seeks to seal Exhibit 11-15 to the Chacon Declaration in their entirety because they 

include excerpts and information from documents containing information Cisco has designated as 

Highly Confidential – Attorneys’ Eyes Only under the Protective Order. Williams Decl. at ¶ 8. 

Finjan’s request is narrowly tailored to seal only information that has been designated as 

confidential pursuant to the protective order entered in this case. 

III. CONCLUSION

For the foregoing reasons, Finjan respectfully requests that the Court grant its Administrative 

Case 5:17-cv-00072-BLF Document 540 Filed 04/16/20 Page 5 of 7
