Case No. CV 05-01940 MHP

CONFIDENTIALITY STIPULATION 

AND [PROPOSED] PROTECTIVE 

ORDER

WHEREAS, the parties agree that protection of designated information produced 

during discovery in this action is warranted because plaintiff and counter-defendant Collaboration 

Properties, Inc. (“CPI”) and defendants and counter-plaintiffs Tandberg ASA and Tandberg, Inc. 

(collectively “Tandberg”) each possesses, controls, or has in its custody certain non-public 

information that it considers to be highly confidential, the public disclosure of which would 

present the prospect of competitive harm, and the volume of this non-public information is such 

that an advance review and designation by the Court would be impractical.

CONFIDENTIALITY STIPULATION 2

AND [PROPOSED] PROTECTIVE ORDER

Case No. CV 05-01940 MHP

Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(c) and Civil Local Rule 7-11, and 

upon stipulation of the parties, the Court hereby enters the following Protective Order to govern 

the discovery process:

1. Any information disclosed in the above-captioned litigation by a signatory 

to this agreement (the “Producing Party”) that the Producing Party believes in good faith to 

constitute a trade secret or other confidential research, development, or commercial information 

may be designated as “Confidential Information” or “Confidential Information – Attorneys’ Eyes 

Only” by the Producing Party in the manner set forth herein. “Confidential Information” is 

defined as information that has not been made public and that the Producing Party believes in 

good faith would more likely than not cause competitive harm to the Producing Party if publicly 

known. “Confidential Information – Attorneys’ Eyes Only” is defined as information that has not 

been made public and that the Producing Party believes in good faith would cause the Producing 

Party to suffer substantial competitive harm if publicly known or known by agents or employees 

of the Parties who would have access under this Order only to Confidential Information.

2. Confidential Information and Confidential Information – Attorneys’ Eyes 

Only disclosed to a party (the “Receiving Party”) in the course of this litigation: (a) may be used 

by the Receiving Party solely in connection with this litigation and for no other purpose; and (b) 

shall in any event not be disclosed by the Receiving Party to anyone, including officers, 

employees or agents of the Receiving Party, except in compliance with the terms hereof.

3. Subject to the other terms of this Stipulation and Protective Order, 

information designated “Confidential Information – Attorneys’ Eyes Only” may be made available 

by a Receiving Party only to the following persons, for use in connection with this litigation:

a. outside attorneys of record herein for the Receiving Party and other 

members or employees of their firm(s) who are working on this litigation 

(“Counsel of Record”);

b. clerical and administrative personnel, such as secretaries and paralegals, 

regularly employed by Counsel of Record and working under Counsel of Record’s

working under the supervision of such a Graphic Designer in connection with this 

litigation; and

k. any other person upon such terms and conditions as the parties may 

agree or as the Court hereafter by order direct;

is needed by the Receiving Party for engaging in this litigation or preparing this case for trial; 

provided that any person to whom Confidential Information is disclosed shall, prior to any such 

disclosure, execute a Certificate in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit A. Such Certificates shall 

be retained by Counsel of Record making such disclosure, and shall be made available to Counsel 

of Record for the Producing Party upon a showing of good cause.

5. Prior to providing access to Confidential Information – Attorneys’ Eyes

a. the Receiving Party seeking to disclose Confidential Information –

Attorneys’ Eyes Only or Confidential Information to an Independent Advisor shall 

transmit (via fax and overnight delivery) the following information to the

via fax and overnight delivery to the Receiving Party) to the Independent Advisor if 

facts available to the Producing Party or Parties give it or them a good faith basis to 

believe that the Independent Advisor would not abide by this Order or would have 

a conflict. Failure to object within five days to an Independent Advisor shall be 

deemed approval;

c. If the Producing Party or Parties objects to the disclosure of 

Confidential Information – Attorneys’ Eyes Only or Confidential Information to

or if the conference does not take place, then, within five business days following 

the meet and confer, or, if no meet and confer takes place, within ten business days 

from the date of the transmittal of the written notice of objection, the Producing 

Party may file a motion before the Court, requesting that it be heard on an 

expedited basis, for an order that the Independent Advisor not be allowed access to

proposed consultant until the Court resolves such a motion. These time periods are 

not to restrict any party from moving for a court order earlier if the circumstances 

so require.

6. Confidential Information and Confidential Information – Attorneys’ Eyes 

Only shall be designated as follows:

a. In the case of documents, designation shall be made by placing the 

legend “CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION” or “CONFIDENTIAL 

INFORMATION – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” on each page of any such 

document at the time of production or, in the alternative, by written notice within a 

reasonable time after production, the Producing Party may identify by Bates 

numbers or otherwise the documents previously produced which the Producing 

Party wishes to designate as “Confidential Information” or “Confidential 

Information – Attorneys’ Eyes Only.”

b. In the case of information produced on electronic media, such as disks, 

CDs, tapes, etc., designation shall be made by placing the legend 

“CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION” or “CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION –

ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” on the exterior of the disk, CD, tape, or other 

media, and such designation shall apply to all contents of the disk, CD, tape or

c. In the case of interrogatory answers or responses to requests to admit, 

designation shall be made in the case of confidential answers by placing the legend 

“CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION” or “CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION –

ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” on each page of any answer containing this

propounding party a redacted version of the entire set of interrogatory answers or 

responses to requests to admit.

d. If any party desires to submit applications, motions or other papers to 

the Court which include Confidential Information and/or Confidential Information

nature of the contents of the sealed envelope or other 

container, and the words “DOCUMENT FILED UNDER 

SEAL.” If only portions of the document are sealable, those 

portions must be identified by notations or highlighting 

within the text. A second copy of the lodged document, or 

portion thereof, in an identical labeled envelope must be 

delivered to the Judge’s chambers. If only a portion of the 

document is sealable, a redacted version of the document 

must be lodged with the Clerk. 

(2) For applications, motions or other papers submitted to the 

Court which include information designated “Confidential 

Information” or “Confidential Information – Attorneys’ Eyes 

Only” by any of the non-submitting parties, the submitting 

party must file and serve an Administrative Motion to File 

Under Seal, in conformance with Civil Local Rule 7-11. All 

documents containing Confidential Information – Attorneys’ 

Eyes Only or Confidential Information that are submitted to 

the Court shall be lodged (not filed) with the Court in sealed 

envelopes or other appropriate sealed containers on which 

shall be endorsed the title of the action to which it pertains, 

an indication of the nature of the contents of the sealed 

envelope or other container, and the words “DOCUMENT 

FILED UNDER SEAL.” If only portions of the document 

are sealable, those portions must be identified by notations or 

highlighting within the text. A second copy of the lodged 

document, or portion thereof, in an identical labeled 

envelope must be delivered to the Judge’s chambers. If only 

a portion of the document is sealable, a redacted version of 

the document must be lodged with the Clerk. The 

designating party must, within five (5) business days of the 

submission to the Court by the submitting party, file a 

declaration establishing that the designated information is 

sealable, and lodge and serve a narrowly tailored proposed 

sealing order, or must withdraw the designation of 

confidentiality. If the designating party does not file its 

responsive declaration as required, the document or proposed 

filing will be made part of the public record. 

Until the Court rules on the proposed order, the materials submitted under seal shall 

be segregated by the Court and not publicly available. Within five (5) business 

days of a written request to produce a redacted version of a document under seal, 

counsel for the filing party shall deliver to counsel for the non-filing party written 

notice of the specific page and lines numbers and/or exhibit numbers that contain 

information designated as “Confidential Information” or “Confidential Information 

– Attorneys’ Eyes Only” so that counsel for the non-filing party may provide 

appropriately redacted copies of the filed document to individuals not approved for 

access to this information.

e. In the case of deposition testimony, counsel may invoke the provisions 

of this Protective Order by stating on the record during a deposition, that testimony 

given at the deposition is designated “Confidential Information” or “Confidential 

Information – Attorneys’ Eyes Only.” Only people authorized under the terms of 

this Protective Order to receive “Confidential Information” or “Confidential

of the deposition so designated. After the completion of a deposition, or session of 

a deposition, any party may also, in good faith within ten (10) business days of 

receipt of the final deposition transcript, designate any portion of the deposition as 

“Confidential Information” or “Confidential Information – Attorneys’ Eyes Only” 

if not so designated previously, by giving written notice to all counsel present at the 

deposition and Counsel of Record. Any party may make a written request to 

produce a redacted version of a deposition transcript, in which case, within ten 

business days of the later of (a) the receipt of such request and (b) receipt of a final 

version of such transcript, counsel for the designating party shall deliver to counsel 

for the other parties (and, where applicable, the deponent) written notice of the 

specific page and lines numbers and/or exhibit numbers that contain information 

designated “Confidential Information” or “Confidential Information – Attorneys’ 

Eyes Only” so that counsel for the non-filing party may provide appropriately 

redacted copies of the transcript and exhibits to individuals not approved for access 

to such information. If any portion of a deposition is designated as “Confidential 

Information” or “Confidential Information – Attorneys’ Eyes Only,” that portion of 

the deposition record, including any referenced exhibits if they are also 

“Confidential Information” or “Confidential Information – Attorneys’ Eyes Only,” 

shall be sealed and stamped with the designated degree of confidentiality, and 

treated pursuant to the terms of this Stipulation and Protective Order. Any 

deposition or portion thereof and any deposition exhibits designated as 

“Confidential Information” or “Confidential Information – Attorneys’ Eyes Only” 

shall be treated as such until the designating party withdraws the designation (or a 

portion of the designation) in writing. 

7. All documents and pleadings of any nature containing Confidential 

Information and/or Confidential Information – Attorneys’ Eyes Only, and all copies thereof, shall 

be maintained by any person qualified to receive and to retain them under the terms of this Order, 

in secure facilities and in a manner intended to minimize any risk of the inadvertent disclosure 

thereof.

8. Any person to whom Confidential Information and/or Confidential 

Information – Attorneys’ Eyes Only is disclosed (subject to the other terms hereof) shall treat that 

information in a manner reasonably calculated to preserve the confidentiality of such information.

9. In addition to the other provisions and protections provided in this 

Stipulation and Protective Order, the provisions of this Section 9 will govern the production and 

protection of source code. The parties have not yet reached agreement on the protections for 

source code and, thus, this section will be amended by stipulation of the parties or by order of the 

Court at a later date.

10. Within sixty (60) days of the conclusion of this litigation, all written 

materials, other than work product, containing Confidential Information and/or Confidential 

Information – Attorneys’ Eyes Only received by the Receiving Party subject to this Stipulation 

and Protective Order that are in the possession, custody or control of the Receiving Party or its 

agents shall be destroyed or turned over to Counsel of Record for the Producing Party. Counsel of 

Record for the Receiving Party shall be entitled to retain a single archival copy of court papers, 

deposition and trial transcripts and attorney work-product (including court papers, transcripts and 

exhibits, and attorney work-product that contain information or material designated as 

“Confidential Information” or “Confidential Information – Attorneys’ Eyes Only”) provided that 

such counsel, and employees of such counsel, shall not disclose any such information except 

pursuant to a separate written agreement with the Producing Party of the information or material. 

The provisions of this Stipulation and Protective Order restricting the communication and use of 

Confidential Information and Confidential Information – Attorneys’ Eyes Only continue to be 

binding after the conclusion of this litigation.

11. If Counsel of Record for the Receiving Party at any time objects to the 

designation or continued treatment of certain information as Confidential Information and/or 

Confidential Information – Attorneys’ Eyes Only by the Producing Party, it shall so notify 

Counsel of Record for the Producing Party in writing, and the parties shall then meet-and-confer 

within ten (10) business days from Counsel of Record for the Producing Party’s receipt of the 

writing, in a good faith to attempt to resolve the dispute. If Counsel of Record shall be unable to 

agree or meet-and-confer within that time period, it shall be the responsibility of the Receiving 

Party to move for an Order requiring redesignation of the information in dispute. On any such 

motion, the Producing Party shall have the burden of proving that the information is properly 

designated “Confidential Information” or “Confidential Information – Attorneys’ Eyes Only.” 

Until an Order on such motion is obtained, the original designation by the Producing Party shall 

stand.

12. Nothing herein shall be deemed to restrict in any way a Producing Party’s 

own use of Confidential Information and/or Confidential Information – Attorneys’ Eyes Only

apply to any Confidential Information or Confidential Information – Attorneys’ Eyes Only that: 

(1) is lawfully received free of restriction from a third-party who furnished the information other 

than through a breach of this Stipulation and Protective Order or other confidentiality obligation; 

or (2) is or becomes publicly available other than through a breach of this Stipulation and 

Protective Order or other confidentiality obligation. Further, nothing in this Stipulation and 

Protective Order shall affect the right of the Receiving Party to transmit to its officers, directors, 

in-house counsel, outside counsel other than Counsel of Record, and employees material disclosed 

in this litigation that has not been designated Confidential Information or Confidential Information 

– Attorneys' Eyes Only.

13. Entering into this stipulation, and agreeing to produce, producing, or 

receiving Confidential Information and/or Confidential Information – Attorneys’ Eyes Only or 

otherwise complying with the terms of this Stipulation and Protective Order shall not:

a. Operate as or constitute an admission by any Receiving Party that any 

particular Confidential Information or Confidential Information – Attorneys’ Eyes 

Only contains or reflects trade secrets, proprietary or commercially sensitive 

information or any other type of confidential matter;

b. Prevent the Parties to this Stipulation and Protective Order from 

agreeing to alter or waive the provisions or protections provided for herein with 

respect to particular discovery material; or

c. Oblige any party to produce documents, testimony, or other material it 

considers privileged or not subject to discovery.

14. Inadvertent disclosure of any document or other information covered by the 

attorney-client privilege, work-product doctrine or other applicable privileges during discovery in 

this litigation, or inadvertent disclosure of confidential information without appropriate 

designation, shall be without prejudice to any claim that such document or other information is 

privileged or confidential, and no party shall be held to have waived any rights by such inadvertent 

disclosure. The Receiving Party shall not use and agrees to return any inadvertently produced 

privileged material immediately upon request, unless such privilege has been waived by some 

means other than the inadvertent disclosure.

AND [PROPOSED] PROTECTIVE ORDER

Case No. CV 05-01940 MHP

15. This Stipulation and Protective Order and the procedures set forth herein 

shall not preclude any party from seeking further relief or protective orders from the Court as may 

be appropriate under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Federal Rules of Evidence or any other 

statute, rule or authority. Nothing herein shall preclude any party from applying to the Court for 

any modification of the terms provided herein, as it may deem appropriate under the 

circumstances; provided, however, that prior to such application, the parties involved shall make a 

good faith effort to resolve the matter by agreement.

16. Nothing herein shall be construed to affect in any way the evidentiary 

admissibility of any document, testimony, or other matter at any court proceeding related to this 

litigation. The designation of certain information as “Confidential Information” or “Confidential 

Information – Attorneys’ Eyes Only” pursuant to this Stipulation and Protective Order shall not, 

for that reason alone, bar its introduction or use at any court proceeding related to this litigation 

pursuant to such terms and conditions as the Court may deem appropriate, consistent with the need 

for a complete and accurate record of the proceedings; provided, however, that every effort shall 

be made, through the use of procedures agreed upon by the parties or otherwise, to preserve the 

confidentiality of confidential information.

17. If a Receiving Party in possession of confidential information receives a 

subpoena or other compulsory process from a non-party to this Stipulation and Protective Order 

seeking production or other disclosure of such confidential information during the pendency of 

this litigation or any time up to one year thereafter, that party shall give written and telephone 

notice to counsel for the Producing Party within ten (10) business days after receipt of the
