The court denied defendant's motion to compel settlement documents from another case involving plaintiffs and one of the patents-in-suit. "The Court concludes that plaintiffs’ confidentiality interests in the [other] settlement agreement, as well as the federal policy of encouraging settlements by safeguarding the confidentiality of those agreements, outweighs defendant’s asserted need to discover documents evidencing the [other] settlement."
