(collec-\n     tively, \u201cUniloc\u201d) appeal from a decision of the United States\n     District Court for the Northern District of California refus-\n     ing to seal certain documents in several related cases be-\n     tween Uniloc and Apple Inc. (\u201cApple\u201d). See Uniloc USA,\n     Inc. v. Apple, Inc., 508 F. Supp. 3d 550 (N.D. Cal. 2020)\n     (\u201cDecision\u201d). For the reasons provided below, we vacate\n     and remand.\n                             BACKGROUND\n         This is Uniloc\u2019s second appeal regarding the sealing of\n     documents. In its first appeal, Uniloc attempted to defend\n     requests to seal matters of public record, such as quota-\n     tions of this court\u2019s opinions and a list of patent cases\n     Uniloc had filed. See Uniloc 2017 LLC v. Apple, Inc., 964\n     F.3d 1351 (Fed. Cir. 2020). The district court correctly ap-\n     plied its local rules to reject these requests in their entirety\n     and to reject Uniloc\u2019s request for reconsideration. This\n\fCase 3:18-cv-00358-WHA Document 201 Filed 02/09/22 Page 3 of 14\n\n\n\n\n     UNILOC USA, INC.   v. APPLE INC.                             3\n\n\n\n     court affirmed the district court\u2019s rulings in nearly all re-\n     spects.\n         We also held, however, that the district court must con-\n     duct a more detailed analysis on whether confidential li-\n     censing information of certain third-party licensees of\n     Uniloc\u2019s patents should be sealed. Id. at 1363\u201364. As for\n     this subset of information, we remanded for the district\n     court to \u201cmake particularized determinations as to whether\n     and, if so, to what extent, the materials of each of these\n     parties should be made public.\u201d Id. at 1364. The present\n     appeal is narrowly directed to this third-party licensing in-\n     formation.\n         One threshold issue raised by this court in its remand\n     order was whether Uniloc\u2019s financier, Fortress Credit Co.\n     LLC (\u201cFortress\u201d), should be considered a third party or a\n     Uniloc-related entity for purposes of sealing. Uniloc moved\n     to seal or redact third-party documents that revealed li-\n     censing terms, licensees\u2019 names, amounts paid, and dates.\n     One document at issue was a Fortress investment memo-\n     randum that contained Fortress\u2019s investment criteria and\n     other third-party licensing information. Apple did not op-\n     pose Uniloc\u2019s motion. The Electronic Frontier Foundation\n     (\u201cEFF\u201d) moved to intervene to argue in favor of unsealing,\n     and the district court granted its motion.\n          The district court denied Uniloc\u2019s motion. The court\n     explained that \u201c[t]he public has every right to account\n     for . . . anyone holding even a slice of the public grant.\u201d De-\n     cision at 554. It added that \u201cpatent licenses carry unique\n     considerations\u201d that bolster the public\u2019s right of access, in-\n     cluding the valuation of patent rights. Id. at 555. The\n     court further stated that \u201c[t]he public has an interest in in-\n     specting the valuation of the patent rights\u201d reflected in\n     Uniloc\u2019s licenses. Id. It then suggested that disclosure of\n     patent licensing terms would facilitate \u201cup-front cost eval-\n     uations of potentially infringing conduct,\u201d \u201cdriv[e] license\n     values to a more accurate representation of the\n\fCase 3:18-cv-00358-WHA Document 201 Filed 02/09/22 Page 4 of 14\n\n\n\n\n     4                                UNILOC USA, INC.   v. APPLE INC.\n\n\n\n     technological value of the patent,\u201d and help \u201cinform reason-\n     able royalties in other courts.\u201d Id.\n          The district court also determined that \u201cthe dates and\n     dollar amounts involved in Uniloc\u2019s patent licenses go to\n     the heart of the primary dispute, that of Uniloc\u2019s standing\n     (or lack of) to sue.\u201d Id. (internal quotation marks omitted).\n     The court then ordered that the licensing information, in-\n     cluding the identity of the licensees, be unsealed in full.\n         With respect to the Fortress investment memorandum,\n     the district court found that Fortress did not comply with\n     Local Rule 79-5(e)(1) of the Northern District of California\n     because Uniloc filed a declaration in support of sealing, in-\n     stead of Fortress, as required by the rules. Id. On this\n     basis alone, the court denied Uniloc\u2019s request to seal this\n     document.\n         Uniloc filed the present notice of appeal to this court.\n     We have jurisdiction pursuant to the collateral order doc-\n     trine. See Uniloc 2017, 964 F.3d at 1357\u201358.\n                              DISCUSSION\n          This appeal involves the standard for sealing court rec-\n     ords, not substantive issues of patent law. Thus, Ninth\n     Circuit law applies. Uniloc 2017, 964 F.3d at 1357. \u201cIn the\n     Ninth Circuit, a district court\u2019s decision to seal or unseal\n     court records is reviewed for abuse of discretion.\u201d Id. \u201cA\n     district court abuses its discretion if it bases its decision on\n     an erroneous legal standard or clearly erroneous findings\n     of fact.\u201d Apple Inc. v. Samsung Elecs. Co., 727 F.3d 1214,\n     1221 (Fed. Cir. 2013) (internal quotation marks omitted).\n     A district court also abuses its discretion if the reviewing\n     court \u201chas a definite and firm conviction that the court be-\n     low committed a clear error of judgment in the conclusion\n     it reached upon a weighing of the relevant factors.\u201d Id.\n         Sealing may be appropriate to keep records from being\n     used \u201cas sources of business information that might harm\n     a litigant\u2019s competitive standing.\u201d    Nixon v. Warner\n\fCase 3:18-cv-00358-WHA Document 201 Filed 02/09/22 Page 5 of 14\n\n\n\n\n     UNILOC USA, INC.   v. APPLE INC.                            5\n\n\n\n     Commc\u2019ns, Inc., 435 U.S. 589, 598 (1978). In the Ninth Cir-\n     cuit, \u201ccompelling reasons\u201d are needed to seal judicial rec-\n     ords related to a dispositive motion. Kamakana v. City &\n     Cnty. of Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172, 1179 (9th Cir. 2006).\n     Such compelling reasons include preventing the release of\n     trade secrets. Id.\n         Uniloc and Apple both argue that the district court\n     erred in failing to follow this court\u2019s remand instructions to\n     make particularized determinations as to whether third-\n     party licensing information should be sealed. The parties\n     contend that the court erroneously applied heightened\n     scrutiny to requests to seal licensing information. Apple\n     adds that such information can rise to the level of a trade\n     secret, which is the type of information that the Ninth Cir-\n     cuit has deemed sealable. Uniloc cites various cases from\n     the district court and the Ninth Circuit sealing similar\n     types of information. See, e.g., Uniloc 2017 LLC v. Google\n     LLC, 508 F. Supp. 3d 556, 575 n.23 (N.D. Cal. 2020); In re\n     Elec. Arts, Inc., 298 F. App\u2019x 568, 569 (9th Cir. 2009).\n         Intervenor EFF counters that denying Uniloc\u2019s motion\n     was a sound use of the district court\u2019s discretion. EFF adds\n     that the court conscientiously weighed Uniloc\u2019s submis-\n     sions in support of sealing and concluded that they were\n     insufficient to overcome the public\u2019s strong interest in ac-\n     cess.\n         We conclude that the district court failed to follow our\n     remand instructions to make particularized determina-\n     tions as to whether the third-party licensing information\n     sought to be sealed should be made public. That failure\n     was an abuse of discretion. The first time this case ap-\n     peared before us, \u201cthe district court failed to make findings\n     sufficient to allow us to adequately assess whether it\n     properly balanced the public\u2019s right of access against the\n     interests of the third parties in shielding their financial\n     and licensing information from public view.\u201d Uniloc 2017,\n     964 F.3d at 1364. We explained that \u201cthere is no indication\n\fCase 3:18-cv-00358-WHA Document 201 Filed 02/09/22 Page 6 of 14\n\n\n\n\n     6                              UNILOC USA, INC.   v. APPLE INC.\n\n\n\n     in the record that the court assessed whether any of the\n     third-party information was protectable as a trade secret\n     or otherwise entitled to protection under the law.\u201d Id. (in-\n     ternal quotation marks omitted). We thus remanded and\n     instructed that the district court \u201cmake particularized de-\n     terminations as to whether and, if so, to what extent, the\n     materials of each of these parties should be made pub-\n     lic.\u201d Id. Yet, on remand, the district court again neglected\n     to make sufficient findings. Nowhere in the record does the\n     district court discuss whether any of the third-party mate-\n     rials constitute protectable trade secrets. See Deci-\n     sion. For that reason, and because it is relevant to the\n     protectability of the license information, we remand for the\n     district court to carry out the examination this court in-\n     structed it to do.\n         We also disagree with the district court\u2019s statements\n     purportedly supporting its decision concerning the public\u2019s\n     right of access to information relating to patent licenses.\n     The court stated that \u201c[t]he public has an interest in in-\n     specting the valuation of patent rights . . . particularly\n     given secrecy so often plays into the patentee\u2019s advantage\n     in forcing bloated royalties.\u201d Decision at 555. The court\n     thus made an error of law in making a blanket ruling that\n     the public has a broad right to licensing information relat-\n     ing to patents.\n          The public indeed does have an interest in patents, but\n     it is an interest in ensuring that patents are not procured\n     by fraud, or other improper means. See U.S. v. Glaxo Grp.\n     Ltd., 410 U.S. 52, 57\u201358 (1973) (discussing the public in-\n     terest in free competition and ensuring that patents are not\n     obtained by fraudulent means). This is because patents are\n     to be granted only if they are valid, i.e., they describe and\n     claim inventions meeting the requirements of the law, in-\n     ventions that are novel, not obvious, and described in an\n     enabling manner.\n\fCase 3:18-cv-00358-WHA Document 201 Filed 02/09/22 Page 7 of 14\n\n\n\n\n     UNILOC USA, INC.   v. APPLE INC.                             7\n\n\n\n          The enforcement of patents is also imbued with the\n     public interest. Litigants and their counsel are subject to\n     Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, requiring\n     that parties presenting a case perform an \u201cinquiry reason-\n     able under the circumstances\u201d as to the legal and factual\n     merits of the claim, and they are subject to sanctions for an\n     exceptional case and for a frivolous appeal. Fed. R. Civ.\n     P. 11. Moreover, a patent can be held to be unenforceable\n     for inequitable conduct in its procurement. But no rule of\n     law or binding precedent says that the public is generally\n     entitled to know what consideration a patentee receives for\n     licensing its patent.\n         The district court stated that patents are granted in\n     derogation of the usual free flow of goods and ideas. It\n     stated colorfully that \u201ca patent owner is a tenant on a plot\n     within the public realm of public knowledge, and a licensee\n     a subtenant.\u201d Decision at 554. Those statements are in-\n     correct, as patents are granted for inventions that, until\n     their disclosure, did not constitute any flow of goods. Goods\n     claimed in a patent, if the patent is valid, did not previously\n     flow. Patents are granted for new inventions, those which\n     did not flow in commerce before the invention. A properly-\n     issued patent creates new land, keeping within the court\u2019s\n     metaphor. It expands public knowledge.\n         The district court stated that the public has a strong\n     interest in knowing the full extent of the terms and condi-\n     tions involved in the exercise of its patent rights and in see-\n     ing the extent to which the patentee\u2019s exercise of the\n     government grant affects commerce. But this is not an an-\n     titrust case or an FTC investigation involving unlawful re-\n     straint of trade or monopolization. It is a suit for patent\n     infringement. Absent an issue raised by the parties con-\n     cerning license rights and provisions, there is no public in-\n     terest or entitlement to information concerning\n     consideration for the grant of licenses. The parties are in\n     agreement that license information here should be sealed\n     and protected. The only differing voice has come from an\n\fCase 3:18-cv-00358-WHA Document 201 Filed 02/09/22 Page 8 of 14\n\n\n\n\n     8                              UNILOC USA, INC.   v. APPLE INC.\n\n\n\n     independent nonparty, appointed by the district court to\n     advocate unsealing the information that neither party\n     wished to unseal. But we have seen no citation of a rule of\n     law providing a presumption of access in a patent infringe-\n     ment suit to information concerning consideration for the\n     licensing of a patent.\n         An earlier issue in this case was a question of alleged\n     indiscriminate oversealing in patent and commercial cases\n     nationwide. For that reason, in the earlier appearance of\n     this case in our court, we affirmed-in-part the district\n     court\u2019s refusal to seal all the requested information and re-\n     manded for the limited purpose of assessing whether third-\n     party licensing information should be sealed. But overseal-\n     ing was no longer the issue on remand.\n         The district court did note that a key issue in this case\n     was whether Uniloc had received at least $20 million in\n     royalties needed under licensing agreements to provide it\n     with standing to sue. But that fact can be proved without\n     opening up all the licenses that the court granted access to.\n          Lastly, for the Fortress investment memorandum, any\n     procedural failings of Uniloc and Fortress cannot justify\n     unsealing the information of third parties. The district\n     court should have considered whether the interests of the\n     implicated third parties outweigh the public\u2019s interest in\n     seeing individual licensing details that are not necessary\n     for resolving this case.\n         We therefore vacate and remand for the district court\n     to comply with this court\u2019s previous remand instructions.\n                            CONCLUSION\n          We have considered EFF\u2019s remaining arguments, but\n     we find them unpersuasive. Because the district court\n     failed to follow our previous remand instructions to make\n     particularized determinations as to whether third-party li-\n     censing information should be sealed, we vacate the court\u2019s\n     denial and remand for the court to perform that analysis.\n\fCase 3:18-cv-00358-WHA Document 201 Filed 02/09/22 Page 9 of 14\n\n\n\n\n     UNILOC USA, INC.   v.

Warner Commc\u2019ns, Inc., 435\n     U.S. 589, 599 (1978). Here, the district court did not abuse\n     its discretion in concluding that Uniloc\u2019s third-party licen-\n     sees failed to make out a compelling case for shielding their\n     licensing information from public view. Notably, not a sin-\n     gle licensee directly filed a request with the district court\n     seeking to seal its licensing information. See District Court\n     Decision, 508 F. Supp. 3d at 554. Instead, when this case\n     was initially pending before the district court, \u201cUniloc so-\n     licited the views of all one hundred nine licensees regard-\n     ing the sealing of their patent license details.\u201d Id. While\n     thirty-one licensees requested that all or part of their li-\n     censing information be kept confidential, only thirteen li-\n     censees submitted declarations in support of their\n     requests. See id.; J.A. 436\u201350, 805\u201337 (sealed third-party\n     declarations).\n         These declarations, by and large, are vague and conclu-\n     sory and fail to provide concrete evidence that the dissem-\n     ination of licensing information would cause the licensees\n     significant competitive injury in future licensing negotia-\n     tions or that the licensing information in question other-\n     wise qualifies as a trade secret. See J.A. 436\u201350, 805\u201337;\n     see also Total Recall Techs. v.

Nov. 18, 2021) (affirming a dis-\n     trict court\u2019s order denying seven motions to seal where the\n     party seeking sealing failed to provide \u201cspecific\u201d or \u201ccom-\n     pelling\u201d evidence for doing so); DePuy, 990 F.3d at 1373 (af-\n     firming a district court order unsealing purportedly\n     confidential business information where the declarations\n     filed by the party seeking to prevent disclosure failed to ad-\n     dress how making the information public \u201cwould harm its\n     proprietary and competitive business interests\u201d (citations\n     and internal quotation marks omitted)); Kamakana, 447\n     F.3d at 1182 (explaining that a party\u2019s \u201cconclusory\u201ddecla-\n     rations about the confidential nature of certain documents\n     did \u201cnot rise to the level of \u2018compelling reasons\u2019 sufficiently\n     specific to bar the public access to the documents\u201d). Indeed,\n     only one of the publicly available declarations even uses\n     the term \u201ctrade secret\u201d and that declaration broadly, and\n     without meaningful support, states that all the company\u2019s\n     \u201cfinancial records\u201d qualify as trade secrets. J.A. 438. Im-\n     portantly, moreover, none of the declarations adequately\n     explain why redacting the names of the third-party licen-\n     sees\u2014but fully disclosing the dates and dollar amounts of\n     their licenses with Uniloc\u2014would not serve to eradicate\n     any even arguable concern regarding the disclosure of\n     trade secret information. See N.D. Cal. Civ.

This case involves the unusual\n     situation in which Uniloc, the party seeking the sealing or-\n     der, forfeited its right to keep its licensing information con-\n     fidential because its \u201coriginal sealing request was grossly\n     excessive and its flouting of Local Rule 79-5 particularly\n     flagrant.\u201d Uniloc 2017 LLC v.

The public presumptively has a\n     broad right of access to all information filed with a court in\n     connection with a dispositive motion, and this includes pa-\n     tent licensing information. See, e.g., Kamakana, 447 F.3d\n     at 1180 (explaining that \u201cjudicial records are public docu-\n     ments almost by definition, and the public is entitled to ac-\n     cess by default\u201d).\n          \u201cThe political branches of government claim legitimacy\n     by election, judges by reason.
