| Nov 26, 2025 | 111 | MINUTE ORDER IN CHAMBERS of the Honorable Magistrate Judge Daniel J. Albregts on 11/26/2025. Re: 108 Motion to Seal. Defendant Medicreations, LLC moves to redact and seal certain portions of its response to Plaintiff Hydrafacial LLC's opening claim construction brief. Defendant argues that the Court should seal these materials because they are excerpts from depositions of the asserted patents' inventors during an International Trade Commission investigation, which transcripts are marked confidential under an International Trade Commission protective order. However, the fact that a document is designated confidential under a protective order does not, standing alone, establish sufficient grounds to seal that filed document. See Foltz v. State Farm Mut. Auto. Ins. Co., 331 F.3d 1122, 1133 (9th Cir. 2003); see also Beckman Indus., Inc. v. Intl Ins. Co., 966 F.2d 470, 476 (9th Cir. 1992). So, Defendant must provide some additional reasoning in order for the Court to "articulate the factual basis for its ruling without relying on hypothesis or conjecture." See Kamakana v. City and County of Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172, 1179 (9th Cir. 2006). The Court will therefore DENY the motion to seal without prejudice. (ECF No. 108 ). The Court will keep the material at issue under seal until December 29, 2025, so that Defendant may file a renewed motion to seal. If Defendant does not file a renewed motion to seal before this date, the Court will order the materials unsealed. IT IS SO ORDERED.

| Oct 2, 2025 | 100 | ORDER. The Court notes that the parties made several arguments and cited to several cases not discussed above. The Court has reviewed these arguments and cases and determines that they do not warrant discussion as they do not affect the outcome of the Motion before the Court. It is therefore ordered that Plaintiff's Motion (ECF No. 54 ) is denied. Signed by Judge Miranda M. Du on 10/2/2025.

| Sep 30, 2025 | 95 | RESPONSE to 94 Notice (Other) by Defendant Medicreations LLC. (Tepera, Steven) (Entered: 09/30/2025) (6) |
| Sep 30, 2025 | 96 | MINUTE ORDER IN CHAMBERS of the Honorable Judge Miranda M. Du on 9/30/2025. The Court heard oral argument on Plaintiff's motion for preliminary injunction (ECF Nos. 54 (unsealed), 60 (sealed) ("Motion")) on September 26, 2025 ("Hearing"). On September 29, 2025, Plaintiff filed a document titled "Notice of Supplemental Authority" in which Plaintiff provided a list of "additional intellectual property cases against third parties." (ECF No. 94 ("Notice").) As Defendant points out in its response (ECF No. 95 ), the Notice does not offer any new authorities that arose after completion of the briefing on the Motion but merely provides additional information to support the point Plaintiff made in its Motion and at the Hearing that the delay in filing this action was due in part to the resources needed to pursue litigation against other infringers. Because Plaintiff did not seek leave of course to file its Notice under LR 7-2(g) and because briefing and argument on the Motion have concluded, the Court declines to consider the Notice (ECF No. 94 ). At the Hearing, the Court indicated it plans to issue an order on the Motion by today. The Court will deny the Motion (ECF No. 54 ) because Plaintiff fails to demonstrate likelihood of irreparable harm. A written order will follow.

| Sep 25, 2025 | 92 | MINUTE ORDER IN CHAMBERS of the Honorable Judge Miranda M. Du on 9/25/2025. Defendant filed a motion for leave to file supplemental authorities to inform the Court of two events that occurred after Defendant filed its response to Plaintiff's motion for preliminary injunction on June 3, 2025: (1) an order from the Patent Trial and Appeal Board granting institution of inter partes review of the '287 Patent on June 2, 2025; and (2) testimony from Plaintiff's expert in a hearing held on July 25, 2025. (ECF No. 91 ("Motion").) The latter of these two events occurred almost two months ago. The Court denies the Motion (ECF No. 91 ) because Defendant did not file the Motion until days before the scheduled hearing, preventing sufficient time for briefing and for the Court to consider the supplemental authorities.
