In NCR Voyix v. Embarcadero, Judge Koeltl granted Embarcadero’s application to seal or redact confidential discovery, settlement terms, and sensitive technology information.
Embarcadero Technologies Europe Limited and NCR Voyix Corporation, regarding confidential discovery and filings connected to NCR’s summary-judgment motion.
What happened
NCR Voyix Corporation v. Embarcadero Technologies Europe Limited concerned Embarcadero’s request to seal or redact materials filed in connection with NCR’s motion for summary judgment. Embarcadero asked to seal confidential emails produced by NCR and redact sensitive information from its opposition papers.
The requested redactions covered commercially sensitive technology information, quotations and terms from a confidential settlement and release agreement, the settlement amount, negotiated license pricing, and quotations from a supporting declaration. Embarcadero said the parties’ protective order allowed the confidential discovery documents to be filed under seal initially so NCR could decide whether to seek sealing, and stated that NCR consented to the application.
The court granted the application. The order, entered by Judge John G. Koeltl, allowed the requested sealing and redactions; it did not decide the parties’ underlying summary-judgment dispute.

Background
The opinion text is a June 11, 2025 letter from counsel for Embarcadero Technologies Europe Limited, the defendant and counterclaim plaintiff, to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The letter requested permission to seal or redact materials submitted in connection with NCR Voyix Corporation’s motion for summary judgment.
Embarcadero sought to file under seal emails that NCR produced in discovery and marked confidential under an agreed protective order. It also requested limited redactions to a declaration by Stephen Ball and to Embarcadero’s opposition memorandum and responses to NCR’s statement of uncontested material facts.
Requested Sealing and Redactions
The requested redactions concerned quotations from the parties’ March 31, 2023 Settlement and Release Agreement, references to the confidential settlement amount, quotations from the Ball declaration, and commercially sensitive information about Embarcadero’s technology. The letter stated that the settlement agreement contained a confidentiality provision and commercially sensitive settlement and license-pricing terms. It also stated that the court had previously permitted the settlement agreement to be filed under seal.
Under the agreed protective order, Embarcadero sought to file the confidential discovery documents under seal initially so NCR would have an opportunity to move to seal them. The letter stated that counsel had conferred and that opposing counsel consented to the application.
Ruling
The court marked the application “GRANTED” and “SO ORDERED.” Judge John G. Koeltl therefore granted Embarcadero’s request to seal or redact the specified materials. The ruling addressed confidentiality and filing treatment; the text does not state how the court would resolve NCR’s underlying motion for summary judgment.
