This document represents a formal confidentiality request submitted to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on behalf of Nitto Denko Asia Technical Centre Pte Ltd. The request pertains to the device seeking certification, and it outlines the need for both permanent and short-term confidential treatment of specific information submitted as part of the application process.
The permanent confidentiality request covers documents such as schematic diagrams, the bill of materials/parts list, block diagrams, and the operational description. Nitto Denko argues that these materials contain trade secrets and proprietary information that, if disclosed, could harm the company's competitive position.
In addition to the permanent request, Nitto Denko also seeks short-term confidentiality for a period of 180 days for internal photos, external photos, the user manual, and test setup photographs. This temporary confidentiality is intended to protect the company's interests during the initial market launch phase.
The document affirms that Nitto Denko understands that no accompanying materials will be made public before the grant date of the application.
