restrictions for “Outside Counsel of Record” in the Northern District of 

California’s Patent Local Rule 2-2 Interim Model Protective Order 

(“Operative Protective Order,” found at 

https://www.cand.uscourts.gov/model-protective-orders) which governs this 

case, upon his signing and providing to Asetek’s counsel his signed 

Agreement and Acknowledgement to Be Bound (Exhibit A to the Operative 

Protective Order). 

2. Jennifer Tan and Melody Foo (supporting staff of Zoomlaw to Mr. Chen), 

upon signing and providing to Asetek’s counsel with their signed Agreement 

and Acknowledgement to Be Bound, may similarly have access to Asetek’s
