ParkerVision, Inc. v. QUALCOMM Incorporated

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT MIDDLE DISTRICT OF FLORIDA ORLANDO DIVISION

PARKERVISION, INC., Plaintiff, v. Case No: 6:14-cv-687-PGB-LHP QUALCOMM INCORPORATED and QUALCOMM ATHEROS, INC., Defendants

ORDER Before the Court is Defendants’ Unopposed Motion for Leave to File Under Seal Certain Portions of and Exhibits to Qualcomm’s Response to ParkerVision’s Motion for Reconsideration of the Court’s December 9, 2024 Order. Doc. No. 772.

Defendants, without opposition from Plaintiff, seek to file under seal their unredacted response to Plaintiff’s motion for reconsideration and related exhibits, which address the medical information and health of an expert witness and include portions of a sealed Order. Id.; see also Doc. No. 726.

Based on the representations in the motion, having considered Local Rule 1.11 and the Eleventh Circuit’s standard for sealing, and for reasons similar to those previously set forth in prior Orders, see Doc. Nos. 466, 771, the Court finds good cause to allow Defendants to file these materials under seal. See Clark v. FDS Bank, No. 6:17-cv-692-Orl-41TBS, 2018 WL 6503583, at *2 (M.D. Fla. Dec. 11, 2018) (“The law recognizes a person’s privacy interest in their personal medical information.”).

Accordingly, it is ORDERED as follows: 1. Defendants’ Unopposed Motion for Leave to File Under Seal Certain Portions of and Exhibits to Qualcomm’s Response to ParkerVision’s Motion for Reconsideration of the Court’s December 9, 2024 Order (Doc. No. 772) is GRANTED.

2. On or before March 3, 2025, Defendants shall separately file the documents described in the motion under seal.

3. Upon review, the Court may require that some or all of the information filed under seal be filed in the public record, if it determines that the information is not properly subject to sealing. Otherwise, this seal shall not extend beyond ninety (90) days after the case is closed and all appeals exhausted. See Local Rule 1.11(e).

DONE and ORDERED in Orlando, Florida on February 25, 2025.
