This document represents a formal request from VTech Telecommunications Ltd to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for long-term confidential treatment of certain materials submitted as part of a device certification application. The request is made in accordance with Sections 0.457 and 0.459 of the FCC's rules, which allow for the protection of proprietary and confidential information that, if disclosed, could provide unjustified benefits to competitors.
Specifically, VTech is seeking to protect the following materials from public release: block diagrams, schematics, and operation descriptions. These documents contain detailed technical information about the device's design and functionality, which VTech considers to be valuable intellectual property. The company argues that the public disclosure of these materials would not be in the public interest and would unfairly advantage competitors by revealing sensitive information about VTech's technology.
The request is signed by Lawrance Lo, Engineering Manager at VTech, indicating the company's commitment to protecting its proprietary information and ensuring a fair competitive landscape.
