Reconsideration regarding access to protected material is denied
LG Display Co., Ltd. v. AU Optronics Corporation, et al., Civil Action No. 06-726-JJF-LPS, February 14, 2011.
Stark J. Motion of third party Anvik for reconsideration of its Memorandum Opinion and Order granting Anvik’s motion to intervene, but denying Anvik’s request to modify the protective order to allow access to certain sealed materials is denied.
Anvik contends that the court erroneously concluded that it waived its public right of access argument and denied it access to sealed transcripts referenced in an opinion dated February 16, 2010. Anvik contends these transcripts are pertinent to a lawsuit pending in S.D.N.Y. regarding an inducement of infringement claim. The court concluded that reconsideration is not warranted. The court did not misapprehend the facts, noting that it understood the transcripts to be part of the material Anvik sought, as evidenced by its opinion. The court is not persuaded that the New York Court has found the materials to be relevant, and noted Anvik did not explain why the materials it seeks here could not have been obtained through the New York action. The court further concludes that Anvik waived its public right to access argument. Therefore the motion for reconsideration is denied.
