1 I. ADMINISTRATIVE MOTION TO FILE UNDER SEAL
2 Pursuant to Civil Local Rules 7-11 and 79-5, Defendant Thomson Reuters Corporation
3 (“Thomson Reuters”) submits this administrative motion (“Sealing Motion”) for leave to file
4 under seal certain materials (hereinafter, the “Designated Materials”) related to its opposition to
5 Plaintiffs’ Motion for Class Certification (“Opposition”). Dkt. 124-03.
6 This Sealing Motion and its exhibits are supported by the following Memorandum of
7 Points and Authorities; the concurrently filed Declaration of Anna Mouw Thompson (“Thompson
8 Sealing Decl.”); the concurrently filed Declaration of Kevin Appold (“Appold Sealing Decl.”);
9 the Stipulated Protective Order (Dkt. 70) entered in this action; this Court’s Order regarding
10 Plaintiffs’ Administrative Motion to Consider Whether Another Party’s Material Should be
11 Sealed (Dkt. 147); and all pleadings and papers on file.
12 II. MEMORANDUM OF POINTS AND AUTHORITIES
13 A. Legal Standard
14 There is a “strong presumption in favor of access” to court records, but “access to judicial
15 records is not absolute.” Kamanaka v. City and County of Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172, 1178 (9th
16 Cir. 2006) (quoting Foltz v. State Farm Mut. Ins., 331 F.3d 1122, 1135 (9th Cir. 2003)). The legal
17 standard applicable to whether a document should be sealed depends on whether the document is
18 attached to a dispositive motion or a non-dispositive motion. See id. at 1179-80. Documents
19 attached to dispositive motions—like motions for summary judgment—may be sealed only when
20 the proponent establishes “compelling reasons” for doing so. Id. at 1179. But documents attached
21 to non-dispositive motions that relate to the merits only tangentially—like motions for class
22 certification—may be sealed upon a lesser showing of good cause. Id. at 1180; see also In re
23 High-Tech Emp. Antitrust Litig., No. 11-CV-02509-LHK, 2013 WL 163779, at *2 n.1 (N.D. Cal.
24 Jan. 15, 2013) (noting that the “vast majority” of the courts within this district generally treat
25 class certification motions as non-dispositive); see also Ehret v. Uber Techs., Inc., No. 14-cv-
26 00113-EMC, 2015 WL 12977024, at *1 (N.D. Cal. Dec. 2, 2015) (applying good cause standard

Case No. 3:21-cv-01418-EMC -2- THOMSON REUTERS’ ADMINISTRATIVE

Case 3:21-cv-01418-EMC Document 150 Filed 01/26/23 Page 3 of 51
1 to seal documents attached to class certification motion).1
2 The lesser, good cause standard applies here because the Designated Materials are
3 attached to Thomson Reuters’ Opposition to Plaintiffs’ Motion for Class Certification. But even if
4 the higher, compelling reasons, standard applied, that standard is also met for the same reasons
5 discussed below and in the exhibits and declarations supporting this Sealing Motion.
6 What reasons are sufficient to justify sealing documents is generally “left to the sound
7 discretion of the trial court.” Ctr. for Auto Safety v. Chrysler Grp., LLC, 809 F.3d 1092, 1097 (9th
8 Cir. 2016) (quoting Nixon v. Warner Commc’ns, Inc., 435 U.S. 589, 599 (1978)). Some
9 commonly accepted examples of sealable materials, however, are “trade secrets,” Kamakana, 447
10 F.3d at 1179, and “business information that might harm a litigant’s competitive standing,”
11 Nixon, 435 U.S. at 598. The Designated Materials that Thomson Reuters seeks to seal fall into
12 those categories, as well as others.
13 B. Good cause and compelling reasons exist to fully seal the documents in Exhibit 1.
14 As further explained on a document-by-document basis in Exhibit 1, and as verified in the
15 Thompson and Appold Sealing Declarations submitted concurrently with this Motion, good cause
16 and compelling reasons exist to seal in their entirety the documents listed in Exhibit 1.
17 There are compelling reasons to seal some of the documents listed in Exhibit 1 because
18 they contain trade secrets. The Ninth Circuit has held that “[a] trade secret may consist of any
19 formula, pattern, device or compilation of information which is used in one’s business, and which
20 gives him an opportunity to obtain an advantage over competitors who do not know or use it.”
21 Clark v. Bunker, 453 F.2d 1006, 1009 (9th Cir. 1972) (quoting Restatement (First) of Torts § 757
22 cmt. b (Am. L. Inst. 1939)). A trade secret may “relate to the sale of goods or to other operations
23
1
One possible exception to the majority approach of applying the lesser, good cause
24
standard to materials attached to a class certification motion is when “a denial of class status
25 means that the stakes are too low for the named plaintiffs to continue the matter.” In re High-Tech
Emp. Antitrust Litig., 2013 WL 163779, at *2 n.1 (noting exception but applying good cause
26 standard); see also Circle Click Media LLC v. Regus Mgmt. Grp. LLC, No. 12-cv-04000-EMC,
2016 WL 8253802, at *1 (N.D. Cal. Mar. 14, 2016) (applying “compelling reasons” standard
27 where “individual claims are expected to be less than $3,000 each” in this case). But that
exception does not apply here because Plaintiffs seek injunctive relief (even if class certification
28
is denied) and do not merely seek nominal damages. See, e.g., Am. Compl. ¶¶ 82, 92, 130.
Case No. 3:21-cv-01418-EMC -3- THOMSON REUTERS’ ADMINISTRATIVE
MOTION TO FILE UNDER SEAL
Case 3:21-cv-01418-EMC Document 150 Filed 01/26/23 Page 4 of 51
1 in the business.” Id. Some of the documents, if unsealed, would reveal lists of customers and
2 third-party business partners, which easily constitute trade secrets. See, e.g., Morlife, Inc. v.
3 Perry, 56 Cal. App. 4th 1514, 1522 (1997) (“[A] customer list can be found to have economic
4 value because its disclosure would allow a competitor to direct its sales efforts to those customers
5 who have already shown a willingness to use a unique type of service or product as opposed to a
6 list of people who only might be interested.”); Snapkeys, Ltd. v. Google LLC, No. 19-CV-02658-
7 LHK, 2021 WL 1951250, at *3 (N.D. Cal. May 14, 2021) (“[T]his Court has found compelling
8 reasons to seal confidential information regarding a party’s business partners where the disclosure
9 of that information would harm the party’s competitive standing.”).
10 Other materials listed in Exhibit 1 reveal either trade secrets or, at a minimum, “business
11 information that might harm [Thomson Reuters’] competitive standing.” Nixon, 435 U.S. at 598.
12 This includes, for example, training materials that address the confidential processes that
13 Thomson Reuters has put in place to prevent misuse and ensure security of CLEAR, as well as
14 informational flyers of limited distribution that compile information about CLEAR features or
15 how CLEAR is positioned in the marketplace or how CLEAR compares to competing products.
16 See, e.g., Yan Mei Zheng v. Toyota Motor Corp., No. 17-cv-06591-BLF, 2019 WL 6841324, at *2
17 (N.D. Cal. Dec. 16, 2019) (granting motion to seal “Defendants’ internal confidential training
18 materials”); In re Anthem, Inc. Data Breach Litig., No. 15-MD-02617-LHK, 2018 WL 3092256,
19 at *2 (N.D. Cal. Mar. 16, 2018) (sealing “descriptions of cybersecurity practices and protocols” as
20 well as “funding levels” for cybersecurity for security reasons and because disclosure “could
21 allow Anthem’s competitors to have an advantage over Anthem”); Opperman v. Path, Inc., No.
22 13-cv-00453-JST, 2017 WL 1036652, at *5 (N.D. Cal. Mar. 17, 2017) (sealing “training
23 guidelines for app reviewers” that could “compromise Apple’s review process if disclosed to the
24 public”); Adtrader, Inc. v. Google LLC, No. 17-cv-07082-BLF, 2020 WL 6389186, at *2 (N.D.
25 Cal. Feb. 24, 2020) (sealing “information reflecting strategic business decisions” because “this
26 information could cause competitive harm to Google by providing insight into Google’s strategic
27 business and financial decisions, and the capabilities of Google’s systems”).
28 For these reasons and those further stated in Exhibit 1 and the supporting declarations,
Case No. 3:21-cv-01418-EMC -4- THOMSON REUTERS’ ADMINISTRATIVE

Case 3:21-cv-01418-EMC Document 150 Filed 01/26/23 Page 5 of 51
1 good cause and compelling reasons exist to fully seal the documents in Exhibit 1.
2 C. Good cause and compelling reasons exist to partially seal (i.e., redact) the
information in Exhibits 2 through 7.
3
Unlike with the materials listed in Exhibit 1—where the entire document represents a
4
trade secret or a compilation of “business information that might harm a litigant’s competitive
5
standing,” Nixon, 435 U.S. at 598—it is possible and feasible to use redactions to address the
6
confidentiality concerns that arise with respect to the information identified in Exhibits 2
7
through 7. These proposed redactions target information such as the names of specific CLEAR
8
customers or their employees and/or search subjects; the number of CLEAR customers or the
9
proportions of certain types of CLEAR customers; detailed financial figures related to CLEAR’s
10
revenue, profits, and costs; and the identities of third-party data licensors of data accessible
11
through CLEAR. Good cause and compelling reasons exist to seal this redacted information due
12
to competitive sensitivity, as further explained on a document-by-document basis in Exhibits 2
13
through 7, and as verified in the Thompson and Appold Sealing Declarations submitted
14
concurrently with this motion.
15
D. Certain documents are also designated as highly confidential by Plaintiffs.
16
Pursuant to Local Rule 79-5(e), Thomson Reuters also requests that Exhibits A-9 through
17
A-12 to the Declaration of Susan Fahringer in Support of Defendant Thomson Reuters’
18
Opposition be sealed for the additional reason that they have been designated by Plaintiffs as
19
“HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL - ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” under the terms of the Parties’
20
Protective Order, and hereby notifies Plaintiffs of their burden to establish that the redacted
21
information is sealable if the Court does not otherwise seal these materials based on Thomson
22
Reuters’ sealing request here and in Exhibit 1.
23
III. CONCLUSION
24
Thomson Reuters respectfully requests that the Court permit the filing of the Designated
25
Materials in Exhibits 1-7 under seal.
