This document is a confidentiality request submitted to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regarding the FCC ID: APIJBLRUN3WL. The request is made by Harman, a Samsung company, and pertains to the confidentiality of certain exhibits associated with the FCC/IC application for the specified device.
The document outlines the specific types of information for which confidentiality is sought, distinguishing between short-term and permanent confidentiality. Exhibits such as Block Diagrams, External Photo, Internal Photos, Operation Description/Theory of Operation, Schematics, Test Setup, Tune-Up Procedure, and User's Manual are listed, with the applicant indicating whether each should be permanently or temporarily withheld from public disclosure.
The rationale behind the confidentiality request is based on the proprietary nature of the information and the potential for competitive disadvantage if it were to become publicly available. The applicant asserts that releasing the information would negate the advantage they have achieved by developing this product and result in financial hardship.
The document also addresses the conditions under which short-term confidential information may be released, specifying a period not exceeding 180 days from the date of the Grant of Equipment Authorization and prior to marketing. The applicant acknowledges their responsibility to notify TUV Rheinland in the event the product information becomes publicly available, triggering the release of the listed documents.
