STIPULATED [PROPOSED] PROTECTIVE ORDER REGARDING CONFIDENTIALITY

In order to protect confidential information obtained from or disclosed by the respective 

parties or nonparties in connection with this litigation and pursuant to the Court’s authority under 

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(c) and Federal Rule of Evidence 502, the parties submit as 

follows:

PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS

1. Disclosure and discovery activity in these actions are likely to involve production 

of trade secrets, confidential, proprietary, or private information for which special protection from 

public disclosure and from use for any purpose other than prosecuting this litigation would be 

warranted. The unrestricted disclosure of such information would cause undue damage to the 

parties and their businesses or to third parties. The disclosure of trade secrets, proprietary 

information, and confidential business and financial information would harm the disclosing party 

if it was made known to the disclosing party’s competitors, and in some cases, could violate the 

confidentiality agreements between the disclosing party and third parties or parties to those 

agreements. Disclosure of private information and educational information is also governed by 

statute and other laws such that disclosure of that information may be inconsistent with those 

statutes and other laws. Accordingly, the parties in these actions hereby stipulate to and petition 

the Court to enter the following Protective Order. The parties acknowledge that this Order does 

not confer blanket protections on all disclosures or responses to discovery, and that the protections 

outlined herein extend only to the limited information or items that are entitled to treatment as 

confidential under applicable legal principles. This Protective Order is, therefore, entered into 

pursuant to Rule 26(c) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure to protect information entitled to be 

kept confidential.

2. The parties further acknowledge, as set forth in Paragraph 17, below, that this 

Protective Order creates no entitlement to file confidential information under seal; the relevant 

court rules (e.g., Civil Local Rule 79-5) set forth the procedures that must be followed, and reflect 

the standards that will be applied, when a party seeks permission from the Court to file material 

under seal.

3. Documents and other information produced by the parties or nonparties in

connection with these actions shall be used solely for purposes of prosecuting, defending or 

attempting to settle these actions, whether such information is designated “Confidential” or 

“Highly Confidential – Counsel Only” or not.

4. The protections outlined in this Order apply only to information appropriately 

designated as “Confidential” or “Highly Confidential – Counsel Only” pursuant to the terms of 

this Order (collectively, the “Protected Information”).

5. The parties have reviewed the Case Management Order (Dkt. 132), which includes 

Judge Wilken’s Civil Pretrial Order, and Magistrate Judge Nathanael M. Cousins’ Civil Standing 

Order. The parties represent that nothing contained in this Protective Order conflicts with any of 

the provisions in those orders. 

NONDISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED INFORMATION

6. Except with the prior written consent of the party or non-party originally 

designating a document, discovery response, or deposition transcript (the “Disclosing Party”), 

Protected Information may not be disclosed to any person except as specifically authorized herein.

7. Any Disclosing Party may designate as Confidential (by stamping the relevant page 

or portion “Confidential”) any document, response to discovery, or deposition transcript which 

that Disclosing Party considers in good faith to contain information involving trade secrets, 

proprietary information, confidential business, educational or financial information, private 

information or other information subject to protection under California or federal law, or another 

applicable legal standard (“Confidential Information”). Where a document or response consists of

more than one page, the first page and each page on which Confidential Information appears shall 

be so designated. Confidential Information may only be disclosed to those persons set forth in 

Paragraph 12 below.

8. Any Disclosing Party may designate as Highly Confidential (by stamping the 

relevant page or portion “Highly Confidential – Counsel Only”) any document, response to 

discovery, or deposition transcript which that Disclosing Party considers in good faith to contain 

Confidential Information, the disclosure of which to another party or non-party would create a 

substantial risk of serious harm that could not be avoided by less restrictive means (“Highly

Confidential – Counsel Only Information”). Where a document or response consists of more than 

one page, the first page and each page on which Highly Confidential Information appears shall be 

so designated. Highly Confidential – Counsel Only Information may only be disclosed to those 

persons set forth in Paragraph 13 below.

9. A Disclosing Party may designate information disclosed by it during a deposition 

or in response to written discovery as “Confidential” or “Highly Confidential – Counsel Only” by 

so indicating in said responses or on the record at the deposition. Additionally a party may 

designate in writing, within 21 days after receipt of said responses or of the deposition transcript 

for which the designation is proposed, the specific pages of the transcript and/or specific responses 

that are “Confidential” or “Highly Confidential – Counsel Only.” Any party may object to such 

proposal, in writing or on the record. Upon such objection, the parties shall follow the procedures 

described in Paragraph 14 below. Unless otherwise designated during the deposition, deposition 

transcripts shall be treated in their entirety as “Highly Confidential – Counsel Only” Information 

for 21 days after receipt. All parties shall affix the relevant legend required by paragraphs 7 

and/or 8 of this Order on each page of the deposition transcript designated “Confidential” or

“Highly Confidential – Counsel Only” at the deposition or by subsequent written notice.

10. The inadvertent failure to designate Protected Information that has been disclosed 

as Confidential or Highly Confidential – Counsel Only shall be without prejudice to any claim by 

the Disclosing Party that it is Confidential or Highly Confidential – Counsel Only and shall not 

waive the Disclosing Party’s right to secure protection under this Order for such material. In the 

event a Disclosing Party designates material as Confidential or Highly Confidential – Counsel 

Only after it has been inadvertently disclosed, the receiving party will treat such material pursuant 

to the relevant designation pursuant to this Order and shall make arrangements with the Disclosing 

Party to have the Protected Information, including copies, marked “Confidential” or “Highly 

Confidential – Counsel Only.” 

11. If it comes to a Disclosing Party’s attention that information or items that it 

designated for protection do not qualify for protection, the Disclosing Party must promptly notify 

all other parties that it is withdrawing the designation.

the part of the Disclosing Party to make a good faith determination of whether the disputed 

designation(s) is entitled to be treated as Confidential Information or Highly Confidential –

Counsel Only Information pursuant to the terms of this Protective Order. Within ten (10) court 

days the Disclosing Party shall respond in writing to the Designation Objection either agreeing to 

remove the disputed designation(s) or stating the Disclosing Party’s refusal to do so. During that 

period, the parties will meet and confer in good faith.

b. Court Determination: If the Disclosing Party refuses to agree to remove the 

Confidential or Highly Confidential – Counsel Only designation pursuant to subsection (a) above, 

the Objecting Party may make a written application to the Court to remove the protective 

treatment in compliance with applicable court rules and orders. The application will be made 

within ten (10) court days of receiving the Disclosing Party’s refusal to remove the disputed 

designation(s). In any judicial proceeding challenging a Confidential or Highly Confidential –

Counsel Only designation, the burden of persuasion with respect to the propriety of the 

designation shall remain upon the Disclosing Party. If the Objecting Party fails to make such 

timely application, the Disclosing Party’s designation will remain in effect.

c. Pending a ruling, all parties shall continue to treat the information subject to 

the Designation Objection pursuant to the disputed designation under the terms of this Protective 

Order.

PROTECTED INFORMATION AT TRIAL

15. The terms of this Protective Order do not preclude, limit, restrict or otherwise apply 

to the use of documents at trial. Subject to the Federal Rules of Evidence, Protected Information 

may be offered at any court hearing (including trial) provided that the offering party confers in 

good faith with the Disclosing Party (and, if the Disclosing Party is not a party to these actions, a 

representative of the offering party’s opposing parties (hereinafter together the “Affected 

Parties”)) over the proposed use of that information five days prior to the anticipated use. If it is 

not practicable for the offering party to provide the Affected Parties with five days’ notice, the 

offering party must provide the Affected Parties with as much notice as practicable. Regardless of 

the notice provided, the offering party must take all reasonable steps to ensure that the Affected

Parties are provided a meaningful opportunity to be heard by the Court regarding the proposed use 

of Protected Information at any court hearing or trial, and may not offer such information until the 

Affected Parties have been given an opportunity to provide an objection on the record.

16. Any party or interested non-party may move the Court for an order that the 

evidence be received in camera or under other conditions to prevent unnecessary disclosure. That 

court will then determine whether the proffered evidence should continue to be treated as either 

Confidential Information or Highly Confidential – Counsel Only Information and, if so, what 

protection, if any, may be afforded to such information at the trial.

PROTECTED INFORMATION SUBPOENAED OR

ORDERED PRODUCED IN OTHER LITIGATION

17. If at any time any Protected Information is subpoenaed by a court, administrative or 

legislative body, or by any other person or entity purporting to have authority to require the 

production of such information, the person to whom the subpoena is directed shall give written 

notice thereof to the Disclosing Party as soon as reasonably practicable but in no event more than 

five (5) days after receipt of the subpoena. After receipt of the notice specified under this 

paragraph, the Disclosing Party shall have the sole responsibility for obtaining any order it 

believes necessary to prevent disclosure of the Protected Information that has been subpoenaed. If 

the Disclosing Party does not move for or obtain a court order prohibiting such production or 

disclosure within the time allowed for production by the subpoena (or within such time as a court 

may direct or as may be agreed upon between the Disclosing Party and the subpoenaing party) and 

give written notice of such motion to the subpoenaing party and the person to whom the subpoena 

is directed, the person to whom the subpoena is directed may commence production in response 

thereto. The person to whom the subpoena is directed shall not produce any Protected Information 

while a motion for a protective order brought pursuant to this paragraph is pending or while any 

appeal from or request for appellate review of such motion is pending, unless ordered by a court to 

do so.

FILING DOCUMENTS UNDER SEAL

18. No Protected Information shall be filed in the public record without the written

permission of the Disclosing Party, or a court order. The parties shall comply with the relevant 

court rules (e.g., N.D. Cal. Civil L.R. 79-5) regarding filing of documents under seal. Copies of 

any pleading, brief, or other document containing Protected Information which is served on 

opposing counsel shall be stamped “CONFIDENTIAL PURSUANT TO PROTECTIVE 

ORDER” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – COUNSEL ONLY PURSUANT TO 

PROTECTIVE ORDER”, shall be transmitted via email or cover letter and envelope bearing 

similar designation, and shall be treated in accordance with the provisions of this Protective Order.

NON-TERMINATION

19. All provisions of this Protective Order restricting the communication or use of 

Protected Information shall continue to be binding after the conclusion of this action unless 

otherwise agreed or ordered. In addition, the court retains jurisdiction to resolve any dispute 

concerning the disclosure of Protected Information in violation of the terms of this Order, unless 

otherwise agreed or ordered.

20. Unless otherwise ordered or agreed to in writing by the Disclosing Party, within 

sixty (60) days after the final termination of this litigation by settlement or exhaustion of all 

appeals all parties in receipt of Protected Information shall use reasonable efforts to either return 

such materials and copies thereof to the Disclosing Party or destroy such Protected Information 

and certify that fact. The Receiving Party’s reasonable efforts shall not require the return or 

destruction of Protected Information that (i) is stored on backup storage media made in accordance 

with regular data backup procedures for disaster recovery purposes, (ii) is located in the email 

archive system or archived electronic files of departed employees, or (iii) is subject to legal hold 

obligations. Backup storage media will not be restored for purposes of returning or certifying 

destruction of Protected Information, but such retained information shall continue to be treated in 

accordance with the Order. Counsel for the parties shall be entitled to retain copies of court papers 

(and exhibits thereto), correspondence, pleadings, deposition and trial transcripts (and exhibits 

thereto), expert reports and attorney work product that contain or refer to Protected Information, 

provided that such counsel and employees of such counsel shall not disclose such Protected 

Information to any person, except pursuant to court order.

21. Nothing in this Order shall be interpreted in a manner that would violate any 

applicable canons of ethics or codes of professional responsibility.

MODIFICATION PERMITTED

22. Nothing in this Protective Order shall prevent any party or other person from 

seeking modification of this Protective Order or from objecting to discovery that it believes to be 

otherwise improper.

RESPONSIBILITY OF ATTORNEYS

23. The counsel for the parties are responsible for employing reasonable measures, 

consistent with this Protective Order, to control duplication of, access to, and distribution of copies 

of Protected Information.

24. The counsel for the parties are responsible for administering and keeping the 

executed original copy of Exhibit A pursuant to ¶¶ 12(d), 12(g), 12(h), 13(c), 13(f) and 13(g)

above.

NO WAIVER

25. Nothing herein shall be deemed to waive any applicable privilege or work product 

protection or to affect the ability of a party to seek relief for an inadvertent disclosure of material 

protected by privilege or work product protection. Pursuant to the Court’s authority under Federal 

Rule of Evidence 502 and any other applicable law, rule, or legal principal, the inadvertent 

production of documents or information subject to the attorney-client privilege or work-product 

immunity shall not waive the privilege or immunity if a request for the return of such documents 

or information is made promptly after the Disclosing Party learns of its inadvertent production.

26. Nothing contained in this Protective Order and no action taken pursuant to it shall 

prejudice the right of any party to contest the alleged relevancy, admissibility or discoverability of 

the confidential documents and information sought.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
