What happened

It asks the court for permission to file under seal Defendants’ Response to Innovatus’s Counter Statement of Material Facts.

Request and stated basis

The defendants said their response referred to, quoted, and included information Innovatus had designated as confidential under a protective order. They cited the presumption of public access to judicial documents and the standards for sealing judicial documents, and they referred to the protective order’s procedures for filing confidential material under seal.
