Case No. 13-cv-00453-JST STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SAN FRANCISCO DIVISION

MARC OPPERMAN, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

v.

PATH, INC., et al.

Defendants.

Case No. 13-cv-00453-JST

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

GOVERNING THE PRODUCTION AND

HANDLING OF SOURCE CODE

THIS DOCUMENT RELATES TO ALL

CASES:

Opperman v. Path, Inc., No. 13-cv-00453-JST

Hernandez v. Path, Inc., No. 12-cv-1515-JST

Pirozzi v. Apple, Inc., No. 12-cv-1529-JST

On January 29, 2014, the Court entered a stipulated Protective Order in this Action (Dkt. 444-1)

concerning the handling and use of documents and depositions in this case. That Stipulated Protective

Order expressly does not apply to the production and handling of source code. (Dkt. 444-1, Section 8.) The

parties were unable to reach agreement on a supplemental order regarding source code. On January 6, 2016,

having heard oral argument on the issue, the Court adopted the Northern District of California Model

Protective Order for Litigation Involving Patents, Highly Sensitive Confidential Information and/or Trade

Secrets as its order in this case with respect to the production and handling of source code. (Dkt. 602.) As

directed by the Court, the parties now submit that order conformed to this action and approved as to form by

all parties.

Case No. 13-cv-00453-JST -2- STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

1. PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS

Disclosure and discovery activity in this action are likely to involve production of confidential,

proprietary, or private information for which special protection from public disclosure and from use for any

purpose other than prosecuting this litigation may be warranted. Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to

and petition the court to enter the following Stipulated Protective Order. The parties acknowledge that this

Order does not confer blanket protections on all disclosures or responses to discovery and that the protection

it affords from public disclosure and use extends only to the limited information or items that are entitled to

confidential treatment under the applicable legal principles. The parties further acknowledge, as set forth in

Section 14.4, below, that this Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle them to file confidential

information under seal; Civil Local Rule 79-5 sets forth the procedures that must be followed and the

standards that will be applied when a party seeks permission from the court to file material under seal.

2. DEFINITIONS

2.1 Challenging Party: a Party or Non-Party that challenges the designation of information or

items under this Order.

2.2 “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items: information (regardless of how it is generated,

stored or maintained) or tangible things that qualify for protection under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure

26(c).

support staff).

2.4 Designated House Counsel: House Counsel who seek access to “HIGHLY

CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” information in this matter.

produces in disclosures or in responses to discovery as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL

– ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – SOURCE CODE.”

2.6 Disclosure or Discovery Material: all items or information, regardless of the medium or

manner in which it is generated, stored, or maintained (including, among other things, testimony, transcripts,

and tangible things), that are produced or generated in disclosures or responses to discovery in this matter.

party or are affiliated with a law firm which has appeared on behalf of that party.

2.13 Party: any party to this action, including all of its officers, directors, employees, consultants,

“CONFIDENTIAL,” or as “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,” or as “HIGHLY

CONFIDENTIAL – SOURCE CODE.”

2.17 Receiving Party: a Party that receives Disclosure or Discovery Material from a Producing

Party.

3. SCOPE

The protections conferred by this Stipulation and Order cover not only Protected Material (as

defined above), but also (1) any information copied or extracted from Protected Material; (2) all copies,

excerpts, summaries, or compilations of Protected Material; and (3) any testimony, conversations, or

presentations by Parties or their Counsel that might reveal Protected Material. However, the protections

conferred by this Stipulation and Order do not cover the following information: (a) any information that is in

the public domain at the time of disclosure to a Receiving Party or becomes part of the public domain after

its disclosure to a Receiving Party as a result of publication not involving a violation of this Order, including

becoming part of the public record through trial or otherwise; and (b) any information known to the

Receiving Party prior to the disclosure or obtained by the Receiving Party after the disclosure from a source

who obtained the information lawfully and under no obligation of confidentiality to the Designating Party.

Any use of Protected Material at trial shall be governed by a separate agreement or order.

4. DURATION

Even after final disposition of this litigation, the confidentiality obligations imposed by this Order

shall remain in effect until a Designating Party agrees otherwise in writing or a court order otherwise

directs. Final disposition shall be deemed to be the later of (1) dismissal of all claims and defenses in this

action, with or without prejudice; and (2) final judgment herein after the completion and exhaustion of all

appeals, rehearings, remands, trials, or reviews of this action, including the time limits for filing any motions

or applications for extension of time pursuant to applicable law.

5. DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL

5.1 Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection. Each Party or NonParty that designates information or items for protection under this Order must take care to limit any such

designation to specific material that qualifies under the appropriate standards. To the extent it is practical to

do so, the Designating Party must designate for protection only those parts of material, documents, items, or

oral or written communications that qualify – so that other portions of the material, documents, items, or

communications for which protection is not warranted are not swept unjustifiably within the ambit of this

Order.

Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations that are shown to be

clearly unjustified or that have been made for an improper purpose (e.g., to unnecessarily encumber or

retard the case development process or to impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties)

expose the Designating Party to sanctions.

If it comes to a Designating Party’s attention that information or items that it designated for

protection do not qualify for protection at all or do not qualify for the level of protection initially asserted,

that Designating Party must promptly notify all other parties that it is withdrawing the mistaken designation.

5.2 Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in this Order (see, e.g.,

second paragraph of section 5.2(a) below), or as otherwise stipulated or ordered, Disclosure or Discovery

Material that qualifies for protection under this Order must be clearly so designated before the

material is disclosed or produced.

Designation in conformity with this Order requires:

(a) for information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic documents, but excluding

transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial proceedings), that the Producing Party affix the legend

“CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” or “HIGHLY

CONFIDENTIAL – SOURCE CODE” to each page that contains protected material. If only a portion or

portions of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the

protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins) and must specify, for each

portion, the level of protection being asserted.

A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents or materials available for inspection need not

designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has indicated which material it would like

copied and produced. During the inspection and before the designation, all of the material made available

for inspection shall be deemed “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.” After the

inspecting Party has identified the documents it wants copied and produced, the Producing Party must

determine which documents, or portions thereof, qualify for protection under this Order. Then, before

producing the specified documents, the Producing Party must affix the appropriate legend

(“CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” or “HIGHLY

CONFIDENTIAL – SOURCE CODE) to each page that contains Protected Material. If only a portion or

portions of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the

protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins) and must specify, for each

portion, the level of protection being asserted.

(b) for testimony given in deposition or in other pretrial or trial proceedings, that the

Designating Party identify on the record, before the close of the deposition, hearing, or other proceeding, all

protected testimony and specify the level of protection being asserted. When it is impractical to identify

separately each portion of testimony that is entitled to protection and it appears that substantial portions of

the testimony may qualify for protection, the Designating Party may invoke on the record (before the

deposition, hearing, or other proceeding is concluded) a right to have up to 21 days to identify the specific

portions of the testimony as to which protection is sought and to specify the level of protection being

asserted. Only those portions of the testimony that are appropriately designated for protection within the 21

days shall be covered by the provisions of this Stipulated Protective Order. Alternatively, a Designating

Party may specify, at the deposition or up to 21 days afterwards if that period is properly invoked, that the

entire transcript shall be treated as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’

EYES ONLY.”

Parties shall give the other parties notice if they reasonably expect a deposition, hearing or other

proceeding to include Protected Material so that the other parties can ensure that only authorized individuals

who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A) are present at those

proceedings. The use of a document as an exhibit at a deposition shall not in any way affect its designation

as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.”

Transcripts containing Protected Material shall have an obvious legend on the title page that the

transcript contains Protected Material, and the title page shall be followed by a list of all pages (including

line numbers as appropriate) that have been designated as Protected Material and the level of protection

being asserted by the Designating Party. The Designating Party shall inform the court reporter of these

requirements. Any transcript that is prepared before the expiration of a 21-day period for designation shall

be treated during that period as if it had been designated “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’

EYES ONLY” in its entirety unless otherwise agreed. After the expiration of that period, the transcript shall

be treated only as actually designated.

(c) for information produced in some form other than documentary and for any other

tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on the exterior of the container or

containers in which the information or item is stored the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY

CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – SOURCE CODE.”

If only a portion or portions of the information or item warrant protection, the Producing Party, to the extent

practicable, shall identify the protected portion(s) and specify the level of protection being asserted.

5.3 Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent failure to designate

qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive the Designating Party’s right to secure

protection under this Order for such material. Upon timely correction of a designation, the Receiving Party

must make reasonable efforts to assure that the material is treated in accordance with the provisions of this

Order.

6. CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS

6.1 Timing of Challenges. Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a designation of

confidentiality at any time. Unless a prompt challenge to a Designating Party’s confidentiality designation is

necessary to avoid foreseeable, substantial unfairness, unnecessary economic burdens, or a significant

disruption or delay of the litigation, a Party does not waive its right to challenge a confidentiality

designation by electing not to mount a challenge promptly after the original designation is disclosed.

6.2 Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute resolution process by

providing written notice of each designation it is challenging and describing the basis for each challenge. To

avoid ambiguity as to whether a challenge has been made, the written notice must recite that the challenge to

confidentiality is being made in accordance with this specific paragraph of the Protective Order. The parties

shall attempt to resolve each challenge in good faith and must begin the process by conferring directly (in

voice to voice dialogue; other forms of communication are not sufficient) within 14 days of the date of

service of notice. In conferring, the Challenging Party must explain the basis for its belief that the

confidentiality designation was not proper and must give the Designating Party an opportunity to review the

designated material, to reconsider the circumstances, and, if no change in designation is offered, to explain

the basis for the chosen designation. A Challenging Party may proceed to the next stage of the challenge

process only if it has engaged in this meet and confer process first or establishes that the Designating Party

is unwilling to participate in the meet and confer process in a timely manner.

6.3 Judicial Intervention. If the Parties cannot resolve a challenge without court intervention,

the Designating Party shall file and serve a motion to retain confidentiality under Civil Local Rule 7 (and in

compliance with Civil Local Rule 79-5, if applicable) within 21 days of the initial notice of challenge or

within 14 days of the parties agreeing that the meet and confer process will not resolve their dispute,

whichever is earlier. Each such motion must be accompanied by a competent declaration affirming that the

movant has complied with the meet and confer requirements imposed in the preceding paragraph. Failure by

the Designating Party to make such a motion including the required declaration within 21 days (or 14 days,

if applicable) shall automatically waive the confidentiality designation for each challenged designation. In

addition, the Challenging Party may file a motion challenging a confidentiality designation at any time if

there is good cause for doing so, including a challenge to the designation of a deposition transcript or any

portions thereof. Any motion brought pursuant to this provision must be accompanied by a competent

declaration affirming that the movant has complied with the meet and confer requirements imposed by the

preceding paragraph.

The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on the Designating Party.

Frivolous challenges and those made for an improper purpose (e.g., to harass or impose unnecessary

expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the Challenging Party to sanctions. Unless the

Designating Party has waived the confidentiality designation by failing to file a motion to retain

confidentiality as described above, all parties shall continue to afford the material in question the level of

protection to which it is entitled under the Producing Party’s designation until the court rules on the

challenge.

7. ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL

7.1 Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is disclosed or

produced by another Party or by a Non-Party in connection with this case only for prosecuting, defending,

or attempting to settle this litigation. Such Protected Material may be disclosed only to the categories of

Designating Party (through direct voice to voice dialogue) to try to resolve the matter by agreement within

seven days of the written objection. If no agreement is reached, the Party seeking to make the disclosure to

Designated House Counsel or the Expert may file a motion as provided in Civil Local Rule 7 (and in

compliance with Civil Local Rule 79-5, if applicable) seeking permission from the court to do so. Any such

motion must describe the circumstances with specificity, set forth in detail the reasons why the disclosure to

Designated House Counsel or the Expert is reasonably necessary, assess the risk of harm that the disclosure

would entail, and suggest any additional means that could be used to reduce that risk. In addition, any such

motion must be accompanied by a competent declaration describing the parties’ efforts to resolve the matter

by agreement (i.e., the extent and the content of the meet and confer discussions) and setting forth the

reasons advanced by the Designating Party for its refusal to approve the disclosure.

In any such proceeding, the Party opposing disclosure to Designated House Counsel or the Expert

shall bear the burden of proving that the risk of harm that the disclosure would entail (under the safeguards

proposed) outweighs the Receiving Party’s need to disclose the Protected Material to its Designated House

Counsel or Expert.

8. PROSECUTION BAR

Absent written consent from the Producing Party, any individual who receives access to “HIGHLY

CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – SOURCE CODE”

information shall not be involved in the prosecution of patents or patent applications relating to the subject

matter of this litigation, including without limitation the patents asserted in this action and any patent or

application claiming priority to or otherwise related to the patents asserted in this action, before any foreign

or domestic agency, including the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“the Patent Office”). For

purposes of this paragraph, “prosecution” includes directly or indirectly drafting, amending, advising, or

otherwise affecting the scope or maintenance of patent claims.2To avoid any doubt, “prosecution” as used

in this paragraph does not include representing a party challenging a patent before a domestic or foreign

agency (including, but not limited to, a reissue protest, ex parte reexamination or inter partes

2

Prosecution includes, for example, original prosecution, reissue and reexamination proceedings.

reexamination). This Prosecution Bar shall begin when access to “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL –

ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – SOURCE CODE” information is first

received by the affected individual and shall end two (2) years after final termination of this action.

9. SOURCE CODE

(a) To the extent production of source code becomes necessary in this case, a

Producing Party may designate source code as “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – SOURCE CODE” if it

comprises or includes confidential, proprietary or trade secret source code.

(b) Protected Material designated as “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – SOURCE CODE”

shall be subject to all of the protections afforded to “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES

ONLY” information including the Prosecution Bar set forth in Paragraph 8, and may be disclosed only to

the individuals to whom “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” information may be

disclosed, as set forth in Paragraphs 7.3 and 7.4.

(c) Any source code produced in discovery shall be made available for inspection, in a

format allowing it to be reasonably reviewed and searched, during normal business hours or at other

mutually agreeable times, at an office of the Producing Party’s counsel or another mutually agreed upon

location. The source code shall be made available for inspection on a secured computer in a secured room

without Internet access or network access to other computers, and the Receiving Party shall not copy,

remove, or otherwise transfer any portion of the source code onto any recordable media or recordable

device. The Producing Party may visually monitor the activities of the Receiving Party’s representatives

during any source code review, but only to ensure that there is no unauthorized recording, copying, or

transmission of the source code. The Receiving Party must keep a paper log indicating the names of any

individuals inspecting the source code and dates and times of inspection, and the names of any individuals

to whom paper copies of portions of source code are provided.

Case No. 13-cv-00453-JST -14- STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

(d) The Receiving Party may request paper copies of limited portions of source code that are

reasonably necessary for the preparation of court filings, pleadings, expert reports, or other papers, or for

deposition or trial, but shall not request paper copies for the purposes of reviewing the source code other

than electronically as set forth in paragraph (c) in the first instance. The Producing Party shall provide all

such source code in paper form including bates numbers and the label “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL –

SOURCE CODE.” The Producing Party may challenge the amount of source code requested in hard copy

form pursuant to the dispute resolution procedure and timeframes set forth in Paragraph 6 whereby the

Producing Party is the “Challenging Party” and the Receiving Party is the “Designating Party” for purposes

of dispute resolution.

(e) The Receiving Party shall maintain a record of any individual who has inspected

any portion of the source code in electronic or paper form. The Receiving Party shall maintain all paper

copies of any printed portions of the source code in a secured, locked area. The Receiving Party shall not

create any electronic or other images of the paper copies and shall not convert any of the information

contained in the paper copies into any electronic format. The Receiving Party shall only make additional

paper copies if such additional copies are (1) necessary to prepare court filings, pleadings, or other papers

(including a testifying expert’s expert report), (2) necessary for deposition, or (3) otherwise necessary for

the preparation of its case. Any paper copies used during a deposition shall be retrieved by the Producing

Party at the end of each day and must not be given to or left with a court reporter or any other unauthorized

individual.

10. PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED IN OTHER

LITIGATION

If a Party is served with a subpoena or a court order issued in other litigation that compels

disclosure of any information or items designated in this action as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY

CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – SOURCE CODE”

that Party must:

(a) promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification shall include a copy

of the subpoena or court order;

(b) promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or order to issue in the

other litigation that some or all of the material covered by the subpoena or order is subject to this Protective

Order. Such notification shall include a copy of this Stipulated Protective Order; and

(c) cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be pursued by the

Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected.

If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served with the subpoena

or court order shall not produce any information designated in this action as “CONFIDENTIAL” or

“HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – SOURCE

CODE” before a determination by the court from which the subpoena or order issued, unless the Party has

obtained the Designating Party’s permission. The Designating Party shall bear the burden and expense of

seeking protection in that court of its confidential material – and nothing in these provisions should be

construed as authorizing or encouraging a Receiving Party in this action to disobey a lawful directive from

another court.

11. A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE PRODUCED IN THIS

LITIGATION

(a) The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by a Non-Party in

this action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES

ONLY” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – SOURCE CODE.” Such information produced by Non-Parties in

connection with this litigation is protected by the remedies and relief provided by this Order. Nothing in

these provisions should be construed as prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking additional protections.

(b) In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, to produce a NonParty’s confidential information in its possession, and the Party is subject to an agreement with the NonParty not to produce the Non-Party’s confidential information, then the Party shall:

1. promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non-Party that some or all

of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality agreement with a Non-Party;

2. promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the Stipulated Protective Order in

this litigation, the relevant discovery request(s), and a reasonably specific description of the information

requested; and

3. make the information requested available for inspection by the Non-Party.

(c) If the Non-Party fails to object or seek a protective order from this court within 14

days of receiving the notice and accompanying information, the Receiving Party may produce the NonParty’s confidential information responsive to the discovery request. If the Non-Party timely seeks a

protective order, the Receiving Party shall not produce any information in its possession or control that is

subject to the confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party before a determination by the court. Absent a

court order to the contrary, the Non-Party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking protection in this

court of its Protected Material.

12. UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL

If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has disclosed Protected

Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized under this Stipulated Protective Order, the

Receiving Party must immediately (a) notify in writing the Designating Party of the unauthorized

disclosures, (b) use its best efforts to retrieve all unauthorized copies of the Protected Material, (c) inform

the person or persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the terms of this Order, and (d)

request such person or persons to execute the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” that is

attached hereto as Exhibit A.

13. INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE PROTECTED

MATERIAL

When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain inadvertently

produced material is subject to a claim of privilege or other protection, the obligations of the Receiving

Parties are those set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(b)(5)(B). This provision is not intended to

modify whatever procedure may be established in an e-discovery order that provides for production without

prior privilege review. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 502(d) and (e), insofar as the parties reach an

agreement on the effect of disclosure of a communication or information covered by the attorney-client

privilege or work product protection, the parties may incorporate their agreement in the stipulated protective

order submitted to the court.

14. MISCELLANEOUS

14.1 Right to Further Relief. Nothing in this Order abridges the right of any person to seek its

modification by the court in the future.

Case No. 13-cv-00453-JST -17- STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

14.2 Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of this Protective Order no

Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to disclosing or producing any information or item

on any ground not addressed in this Stipulated Protective Order. Similarly, no Party waives any right to

object on any ground to use in evidence of any of the material covered by this Protective Order.

14.3 Export Control. Disclosure of Protected Material shall be subject to all applicable laws and

regulations relating to the export of technical data contained in such Protected Material, including the

release of such technical data to foreign persons or nationals in the United States or elsewhere. The

Producing Party shall be responsible for identifying any such controlled technical data, and the Receiving

Party shall take measures necessary to ensure compliance.

14.4 Filing Protected Material. Without written permission from the Designating Party or a court

order secured after appropriate notice to all interested persons, a Party may not file in the public record in

this action any Protected Material. A Party that seeks to file under seal any Protected Material must comply

with Civil Local Rule 79-5. Protected Material may only be filed under seal pursuant to a court order

authorizing the sealing of the specific Protected Material at issue. Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 79-5, a

sealing order will issue only upon a request establishing that the Protected Material at issue is privileged,

protectable as a trade secret, or otherwise entitled to protection under the law. If a Receiving Party's request

to file Protected Material under seal pursuant to Civil Local Rule 79-5(e) is denied by the court, then the

Receiving Party may file the Protected Material in the public record pursuant to Civil Local Rule 79-5(e)(2)

unless otherwise instructed by the court.

15. FINAL DISPOSITION

Within 60 days after the final disposition of this action, as defined in paragraph 4, each

Receiving Party must return all Protected Material to the Producing Party or destroy such material. As used

in this subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes all copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries, and any

other format reproducing or capturing any of the Protected Material. Whether the Protected Material is

returned or destroyed, the Receiving Party must submit a written certification to the Producing Party (and, if

not the same person or entity, to the Designating Party) by the 60-day deadline that (1) identifies (by

category, where appropriate) all the Protected Material that was returned or destroyed and (2) affirms that

the Receiving Party has not retained any copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries or any other format

to retain an archival copy of all pleadings, motion papers, trial, deposition, and hearing transcripts, legal

memoranda, correspondence, deposition and trial exhibits, expert reports, attorney work product, and

copies that contain or constitute Protected Material remain subject to this Protective Order as set forth in

Section 4 (DURATION).
