1Opinion of the Court
SELYA, Circuit Judge.
In this appeal, petitioner-appellant Microsoft Corporation (Microsoft) invites us to reverse the district court’s denial of its motion to compel production of research materials compiled by two academic investigators. Microsoft wants to use the subpoenaed materials in defending a civil antitrust case, United States v. Microsoft Corp., presently being tried in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. Mindful that important First Amendment values are at stake, we decline Microsoft’s invitation.
