What tribbles are to the Starship Enterprise, Captain Kirk, and Mr. Spock, the parties' ever-multiplying sealing and redaction requests are to this case, Judge Koh, and the undersigned. In this order, the court addresses over two dozen sealing requests covering thousands of pages of documents brought by both Apple, Inc. ("Apple") and Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., Samsung Electronics America, Inc., and Samsung Telecommunications America, LLC (collectively "Samsung"). The parties move to seal various nondispositive motions and supporting exhibits, and, unless otherwise noted, they have filed declarations with each motion to support their claims that the documents should remain sealed. Because of the large number of documents designated for sealing, the court first reiterates the legal standards for sealing and then summarizes, in table format, the motions, the parties' requests, and the result of each request.
I. LEGAL STANDARD
"Historically, courts have recognized a 'general right to inspect and copy public records and documents, including judicial records and documents.'" Accordingly, when considering a sealing request, "a strong presumption in favor of access is the starting point." Parties seeking to seal judicial records relating to dispositive motions bear the burden of overcoming the presumption with "compelling reasons" that outweigh the general history of access and the public policies favoring disclosure.
Kamakana v. City and Cnty. of Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172, 1178 (9th Cir. 2006).
Id.
Id. at 1178-79.
Records attached to nondispositive motions, however, are not subject to the strong presumption of access. Because the documents attached to nondispositive motions "are often unrelated, or only tangentially related, to the underlying cause of action," parties moving to seal must meet the lower "good cause" standard of Rule 26(c). As with dispositive motions, the standard applicable to nondispositive motions requires a "particularized showing" that "specific prejudice or harm will result" if the information is disclosed. "[B]road allegations of harm, unsubstantiated by specific examples or articulated reasoning" will not suffice. A protective order sealing the documents during discovery may reflect the court's previous determination that good cause exists to keep the documents sealed, but a blanket protective order that allows the parties to designate confidential documents does not provide sufficient judicial scrutiny to determine whether each particular document should remain sealed.

See Civil L.R. 79-5(a).
In addition to making particularized showings of good cause, parties moving to seal documents must comply with the procedures established by Civil Local Rule 79-5. The rule allows sealing orders only where the parties have "establishe[d] that the document or portions thereof is privileged or protectable as a trade secret or otherwise entitled to protection under the law." As this court has previously pointedly noted, the rule requires parties to "narrowly tailor" their requests only to sealable material.

II. DISCUSSION
The court once again reiterates as it did in its last sealing order that much of the information the parties want sealed has become publicly available, either through presentation at trial or through the parties' commercial activities. In consideration of the burden from sealing imposed on the court and, more importantly, the public, the court reminds the parties that they should keep in mind their obligation to inform the court if the information in previously sealed materials becomes publicly available.
See Docket No. 1978.
All of the motions to seal at issue here relate to discovery motions that were nondispositive. For all of the motions, the lower "good cause" standard therefore applies. The court has considered each of the documents the parties have designated for sealing and, as articulated in the table below, determined which documents may remain under seal or redacted and which documents must be unsealed.

The court notes that Judge Koh rejected a bid by Apple to seal similar financial information, albeit at the higher "compelling reason" standard. See Docket No. 1649. Samsung here has not provided substantive reasons that the information should not be disclosed, and so the court finds no good cause exists to seal the information.
The court again points to Judge Koh's earlier decision regarding financial information for further explanation of why this type of information is not appropriate for sealing. See Docket No. 1649.

Most of the ¦ ¦¦ ¦responses and objections are boilerplate and Samsung¦ ¦¦ ¦has not provided any reason why they should remain ¦ ¦¦ ¦sealed.
