 Case No. C 04-2927 JW (HRL)

Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(c), Teleshuttle Technologies, LLC, 

Teleshuttle Corporation, BTG International, Inc. (hereinafter collectively “Teleshuttle”) and 

Microsoft Corporation (hereinafter “Microsoft”) hereby stipulate to and petition the Court to enter 

the following Stipulated Protective Order (“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 extends only to the limited information or items that are entitled under the applicable legal 

principles to treatment as confidential. The parties further acknowledge that this Stipulated 

Protective Order creates no entitlement to file confidential information under seal; Civil Local Rule 

79-5 sets forth the procedures that must be followed and reflects the standards that will be applied 

when a party seeks permission from the court to file material under seal. 

1. A party or nonparty (hereinafter collectively “designating party”) may designate as 

confidential, in whole or in part, any document, thing, or information (collectively “material”) that is 

confidential or that contains confidential information, which is to be disclosed or produced to a party 

or pursuant to a subpoena in this action. 

2. Any designating party shall have the right to designate as “CONFIDENTIAL” any 

material that constitutes or contains proprietary information, trade secret information, confidential 

business information, or other information that is not publicly known. 

3. Any designating party shall have the right to designate as “CONFIDENTIALOUTSIDE ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” any material that constitutes or contains highly sensitive 

financial information, licensing information, non-public ongoing patent prosecution information, or 

recent product information, technical information or research and development information, that will 

harm a designating party's competitive position if it becomes known to a person or party other than 

the designating party. 

4. Any designating party shall have the right to designate as “CONFIDENTIAL – 

OUTSIDE ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY - SOURCE CODE” any material that constitutes or 

contains non-public source code of the designating party’s software or computer applications.

5. Designation shall be made, where practical, by marking each page of a document, 

each separate part or component of a thing, or each separate item of other material in a conspicuous 

manner. If not practical to so mark the material itself, a container for or a tag attached to the 

material shall be so marked. The marking shall state: 1) “CONFIDENTIAL” or other similar 

legend; 2) “CONFIDENTIAL – OUTSIDE ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” or other similar legend; 

or 3) “CONFIDENTIAL – OUTSIDE ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY - SOURCE CODE” or similar 

legend. 

6. If during the course of a deposition taken in this action, any questions are to be asked 

or any answers are to be given regarding confidential material, then only persons designated in 

paragraphs 10-12 below, as appropriate, the deponent (and the deponent’s counsel in the case of a 

separately represented nonparty), and the reporter and videographer are allowed to be present during 

such portion of the deposition. This paragraph shall not be deemed to authorize disclosure of any 

confidential material to any person to whom disclosure is prohibited under this Order. 

7. For confidential material presented in a deposition, a designating party may (1) ask 

the reporter to clearly identify material designated as confidential in the transcript, such as by 

inserting a header or footer on each page that includes such material; or (2) have until fourteen (14) 

calendar days after receipt of the deposition transcript within which to inform the other parties, in 

writing, that portions of the transcript are designated confidential. (If the designating party is a 

nonparty, such written notice shall be provided to all parties). 

8. No deposition transcript shall be disclosed to any person other than persons described 

in paragraphs 10-12 below, as appropriate, and the deponent (and the deponent’s counsel in the case 

of a separately represented nonparty) during the fourteen (14) calendar days after receipt of the 

transcript, and no person attending a deposition shall disclose the contents of the deposition to any 

person other than those described in paragraphs 10-12, as appropriate, during said fourteen (14) 

calendar days. Upon being informed that certain portions of a deposition are designated as 

confidential, each party shall cause each copy of the transcript in its possession, custody or control to 

be marked in accordance with paragraph 5 of this Order, to the extent not already marked by the 

reporter. Any deposition transcript, or portions of a deposition transcript, designated confidential

under this paragraph shall be subject to all other paragraphs in this Order affecting material so 

designated. 

9. Designated material shall not be used by any recipient or disclosed to anyone for any 

purpose other than in connection with the above-captioned action (except that materials produced 

and designated by Teleshuttle, Microsoft or third parties may also be used in connection with Case 

No. C04-2928-JW (HRL) and vice versa) and shall not be disclosed by the recipient to anyone other 

than those persons designated in paragraphs 10-12 below, as appropriate, unless and until the 

restrictions herein are removed by order of the Court or by written agreement of the parties. 

10. Access to material designated CONFIDENTIAL shall be limited to: 

a) the parties’ outside counsel; 

b) the parties’ in-house counsel, as differentiated from designated employees described 

in Paragraph 10(e); 

c) the clerical employees of such counsel listed in subparagraphs (a) and (b) (including 

secretaries, paralegals, and clerks) actually assisting such counsel in preparation of 

this case, as well as copying and graphics support contractors unaffiliated with the 

parties retained by outside counsel for a receiving party who execute Exhibit A to the 

protective order; 

d) nonparty experts or consultants, including their secretarial and clerical personnel, 

retained to assist counsel in this case and who become qualified to receive material 

designated under this Order in accordance with the procedure identified in paragraph 

14 below; 

e) three designated employees of each party, as differentiated from in-house counsel 

described in paragraph 10(b), who, prior to disclosure of any designated material, 

shall sign an undertaking as set forth in Exhibit B below; 

f) court reporters involved in transcribing depositions or other proceedings in this 

litigation, and videographers involved in recording depositions, provided that they 

agree to be subject to the terms of this Order and provided that they are provided 

designated material only to the extent necessary to perform their duties;

g) the Court; 

h) Court personnel involved with this case; and 

i) members of the jury in this case. 

11. Access to material designated CONFIDENTIAL – OUTSIDE ATTORNEYS’ EYES 

ONLY will be treated with at least the same level of confidentiality as material designated 

CONFIDENTIAL, and will be subject to the following additional restrictions: 

a) parties and employees of the parties, including their in house counsel, shall not be 

provided access to such material . 

12. Access to material designated CONFIDENTIAL – OUTSIDE ATTORNEYS’ EYES 

ONLY - SOURCE CODE shall be subject to additional protections given the particularly sensitive 

nature of the information. A producing party may provide for on-site inspection of source code by 

the inspecting party’s outside counsel (who is not involved in patent prosecution as defined in 

paragraph 13 below) and their expert(s) and/or consultant(s) (who are approved through the 

procedures below) on the respective producing parties’ premises. If a producing party provides for 

on-site inspections of source code, the producing party shall allow such inspections upon reasonable 

notice of the requested date(s) of inspection. Pursuant to such inspection, the inspecting party’s 

outside counsel and expert(s) and/or consultant(s) may identify portions of source code it has 

selected for production. If the producing party objects to production of the selected portions, for 

example on the basis that the inspecting party has designated portions unrelated to the issues in this 

case, the parties will resolve the matter through a motion under the local rules. Portions of source 

code produced by a producing party shall be subject to additional restrictions set forth in this 

paragraph. Nothing in this protective order shall obligate the parties to produce any source code nor 

act as an admission that any particular source code is discoverable. 

a) In the case of production of source code portions in electronic form, counsel shall 

comply with the following: 

i) Outside counsel of record shall maintain and store such material at their 

offices in a manner that prevents unauthorized access, including without 

limitation the following minimum safeguards:

 A) Any external media (e.g., hard drives, DVDs) containing source code 

must be kept in a locked safe or storage cabinet when not connected to or

and stored in such locked safe or cabinet when it is not actually being used to 

view the source code contained therein; 

 B) The non-networked computer and the safe or storage cabinet must be kept

all external media, print-outs, and copies containing source code have been 

destroyed, with the exception of exhibits that were attached to filed pleadings 

or admitted into evidence; (b) the hard drives of the non-networked computer 

and any other storage or memory media which may contain source code have

bates range), and the date that the access was made; and 

vii) If counsel desires to store and access such source code at a secure facility at a 

location other than the offices of outside counsel of record, counsel shall 

propose in writing to outside counsel of record for the designating party the 

precise location of the proposed secure facility. Source code shall not be taken 

to such new facility unless approved by the designating party. 

b) In the case of production of source code portions in non-electronic form, counsel shall 

comply with the following:

13. Any individual who actually receives or accesses material of another party or third 

party designated CONFIDENTIAL – OUTSIDE ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY or CONFIDENTIAL 

– OUTSIDE ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY - SOURCE CODE pursuant to this Protective Order 

shall refrain from prosecuting, supervising, or assisting in the preparation or prosecution of: 

a) any patent application(s) on behalf of Teleshuttle (which includes BTG, Teleshuttle's 

affiliates, or Richard Reisman) in the subject matter of "Software Products" as defined below, 

(including but not limited to the patents in suit, and any divisionals, counterparts, continuations, 

continuations in part, or parents) during the pendency of this action and for a period of twenty-four 

(24) months from the final disposition of this action, whether by judgment (including exhaustion of 

all appeals), settlement, or otherwise, and 

b) any patent application(s) on behalf of Microsoft in the subject matter of "Software 

Products" as defined below, during the pendency of this action and for a period of twenty-four (24) 

months from the final disposition of this action, whether by judgment (including exhaustion of all 

appeals), settlement, or otherwise, and 

c) any patent application(s) on behalf of any party or third party in the subject matter of 

software updating, active desktop, and/or offline browsing technologies, (including but not limited to 

the patents in suit, and any divisionals, counterparts, continuations, continuations in part, or parents) 

during the pendency of this action and for a period of twenty-four (24) months from the final 

disposition of this action, whether by judgment (including exhaustion of all appeals), settlement, or 

otherwise. 

“Software Products,” for the purposes of this Protective Order, shall refer to software

litigation between, on the one hand, outside counsel (if any) who are prosecuting, supervising or 

assisting in the preparation or prosecution of patents for Teleshuttle (which includes BTG, 

Teleshuttle's affiliates, or Richard Reisman) and Microsoft, and, on the other hand, persons who 

receive access to "CONFIDENTIAL-OUTSIDE ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY" or 

“CONFIDENTIAL-OUTSIDE ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY – SOURCE CODE” materials. 

14. Nonparty experts or consultants may become qualified to receive material designated 

under the Order in accordance with the following procedure: 

a) Counsel for any party proposing any such person shall submit to outside counsel of 

record for other parties (and also to third parties in the event the nonparty expert or 

consultant will have access to designated material produced by such third parties 

under this Order) a copy of an Undertaking in the form attached as Exhibit A signed 

by such person, a current resume or curriculum vitae for such person, a full 

description of all of his or her employment (including any independent contractor or 

other type of consulting) for the previous five (5) years, and a full description of all of 

his or her employment (including any independent contractor or other type of 

consulting) for or against any opposing party in this action at any time. The original 

of each such Undertaking shall be maintained by counsel proposing the expert; 

b) Unless any other counsel shall notify proposing counsel of its objection to any such 

proposed person, and the basis therefore, within seven (7) business days after the 

receipt of a copy of the Undertaking referred to in subparagraph (a) above, such 

person shall thereafter be deemed a qualified recipient and entitled to receive material 

pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Protective Order; 

c) Counsel for the receiving party may in good faith request additional information from 

the proposing counsel. If so, the seven (7) business day period for objection shall be 

tolled until the proposing party responds; and 

d) Should any counsel timely notify proposing counsel of its objection to any such 

proposed person and of the basis for its objection in accordance with subparagraph 

(b) above, or if any counsel requests additional information pursuant to subparagraph

(c) more than twice and the proposing counsel thereafter requests a meet and confer, 

the parties shall promptly meet and confer and attempt to resolve the issue. If the 

issue is not resolved through the meet and confer, then the proposing party may file a 

motion to propose such access. However, proposing counsel shall not disclose 

material designated under this Protective Order to such proposed person before the 

expiration of the time for objection or before the resolution of any such objection by 

the parties or the Court. There shall be a reasonable basis for such objection. 

15. Each recipient of designated materials shall maintain such material in a secure, safe 

area and shall exercise the same standard of care with respect to the storage, custody, use and 

dissemination of such material as is exercised by the recipient with respect to its own confidential 

and proprietary material. 

16. Except upon consent of the designating party or upon order of the Court, any and all 

designated materials produced, served or otherwise made available during the course of this action, 

together with all reproductions, copies, excerpts, abstracts, indices, compilations or summaries of 

those materials, and including testimony, conversations, or presentations that might reveal 

designated material, shall be used only for preparation and presentation of this action and for no 

other purpose whatsoever, except that materials produced and designated by Teleshuttle, Microsoft, 

or Third Parties may also be used in connection with Case No. C04-2928-JW (HRL), subject to the 

terms of this Order. 

17. A party or non-party that seeks to file under seal any designated materials must 

comply with Civil L.R. 79-5. Each party or non-party 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. A designating party must take care to designate for 

protection only those parts of material that qualify so that other portions of the material for which 

protection is not warranted are not swept unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order. To the extent 

any briefs, interrogatory responses or expert reports in this action are designated "CONFIDENTIALOUTSIDE ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY" pursuant to this protective order, the designating party 

shall serve with the designated version (or within the next forty-eight hours), redacted versions such

that non-outside attorneys' eyes only information may be promptly reviewed by appropriate party 

personnel. To the extent a receiving party is dissatisfied with the extent of the redactions, a 

receiving party may propose a revised redacted version to the designating party's counsel, and the 

designating party must respond with two days with either an acceptance of the revised redacted 

version or an explanation as to why the revised redaction version is not accepted (the explanation 

may include an acceptance of some but not all proposed revisions to the redactions). If the resulting 

redacted materials are not believed sufficient, the receiving party may apply for relief from the 

Court, and the designating party shall bear the burden of persuasion with respect to the justification 

for maintaining redactions that are challenged. 

18. A party's production of confidential material without any designation or with an 

inaccurate or less restrictive designation shall not be deemed a waiver of confidentiality with regard 

to the information disclosed or inaccurately designated. The designating party must provide written 

notice of same and send newly designated replacement copies of such materials to the parties who 

previously received them. All recipients of such replacement materials must cooperate in order to 

return and/or destroy the materials previously produced and such cooperation will not be argued or 

deemed to be a concession that any designation by the designating party was appropriate. 

19. Should any designated material be disclosed, through inadvertence or otherwise, to a 

person or party not authorized under this Order, then the disclosing party shall use its best efforts to 

bind such person or party to the terms of this Order within seven (7) calendar days; and the 

disclosing party shall (a) identify such person immediately to the party that designated the document 

as confidential; (b) promptly inform such person of the provisions of this Order; (c) request such 

person to sign the agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A; (d) promptly provide that 

signed agreement to the designating party; and (e) use its best efforts to retrieve the designated 

information within seven (7) calendar days and prevent any unauthorized use. The actions provided 

by this paragraph of the Order are without prejudice to any rights and remedies of the designating 

party, and any actions taken by the disclosing party to comply with this paragraph shall not be 

argued as a concession of liability or admission by the disclosing party.

 Case No. C 04-2927 JW (HRL)

20. Nothing in this Order shall be construed to prevent a party from opposing the 

designation or production of materials at any time during the course of this litigation. A party 

opposing a designation shall serve a written objection, including a statement of the grounds for the 

objection, on the designating party. The designating party will have ten (10) business days 

following the receipt of the objection to meet and confer with the objecting party and modify or 

withdraw its designation. If the designation is not modified or withdrawn, the objecting party may 

promptly move the Court for an order modifying or removing the designation. On such a motion, 

the designating party shall bear the burden of proof to justify the disputed designation. Failure to so 

object or move shall not constitute an admission that the material was properly designated. 

21. Nothing in this Order shall be construed as requiring disclosure of privileged 

materials, materials subject to protection under the work product doctrine, or materials that are 

otherwise beyond the scope of permissible discovery. 

22. If information subject to a claim of attorney-client privilege, work-product immunity, 

or any other applicable claim of privilege or immunity is inadvertently produced, such production 

shall in no way prejudice or otherwise constitute a waiver of, or estoppel as to, any claim of privilege 

or immunity for such information. If a party has inadvertently produced material subject to a claim 

of immunity or privilege, then within seven (7) calendar days following that party’s written request 

identifying the material for which a claim of inadvertent production is made, that material shall be 

returned and all copies or reproductions of that material that may have been made shall be destroyed. 

The party returning such information may move the Court for an Order compelling production of 

such information, but the motion shall not assert as a ground for production the fact or circumstances 

of the inadvertent production. 

23. Nothing in this Order or any productions or designations of materials under this Order 

shall be construed to prevent a designating party from seeking further protections for confidential 

material, or modifying this Order, as may be appropriate. 

24. The designation or non-designation of any material under this Order shall not be 

admissible as evidence in any litigation for any purpose.

12 [PROPOSED] PROTECTIVE ORDER

 Case No. C 04-2927 JW (HRL)

25. Nothing in this Order or any productions or designations of materials under this Order 

shall be construed as a waiver by any party of any objections that might be raised as to the 

admissibility of any material at trial. 

26. Nothing in this Order shall bar or otherwise restrict counsel to the parties from 

rendering advice to their clients with respect to this litigation and, in the course thereof, referring to 

or relying upon examination of information designated pursuant to this Order, so long as the content 

of the designated information is not disclosed. 

27. This Order shall remain in effect after the final determination of this action, unless 

otherwise ordered by the Court. 

28. If a party that received designated material is served with a subpoena or an order 

issued in other litigation that would compel disclosure of any material designated confidential by a 

designating party, the receiving party must so notify the designating party in writing (by fax, if 

possible) immediately, in no event more than three (3) business days after receiving the subpoena or 

order. Such notification must include a copy of the subpoena or court order. The receiving party 

also must immediately inform in writing the party who caused the subpoena or order to issue in the 

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

Order. In addition, the receiving party must deliver a copy of this Order promptly to the party in the 

other action that caused the subpoena or order to issue and present an objection to production of any 

materials designated for protection under this Order. The purpose of imposing these duties is to alert 

the interested parties to the existence of this Order and to afford the designating party in this case an 

opportunity to try to protect its confidentiality interests in the court from which the subpoena or 

order issued. The designating party shall bear the burdens and the expenses 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. 

29. Unless counsel agree otherwise in writing, upon final disposition of this action, 

receiving counsel (and all persons who have received designated materials, including consultants,

etc.) shall either destroy (or cause to be destroyed) or return promptly all (a) documents which are 

designated and (b) copies made thereof, including copies provided to other persons. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, counsel of record shall be permitted to retain attorney work product 

and one file copy of all court filings, including materials made part of the trial record or which have 

been filed under seal with the Clerk of the Court, and one copy of all depositions (and exhibits) and 

any notes or memoranda relating thereto. Such materials must continue to be maintained under the 

terms of this Protective Order. 

30. Nothing herein shall restrict a designating party with respect to its own treatment and 

handling of its own designated information. Thus, nothing herein shall restrict a designating party 

from having access to its own designated information that it designated or produced in discovery or 

from having access to portions of any derivatives, abstracts, briefs, memoranda, reports, or testimony 

that refer to the designating party’s own designated materials that it designated or produced in 

discovery. For example, a designating party shall be permitted to have access to portions of any 

expert reports, testimony or court filings that address the designating party’s own materials. The 

receiving party may prepare appropriate redacted versions of materials designated under this Order 

that refer to a designating party's own information to allow a designating party to have access to 

materials that refer to the designating party's own information. 

31. Nothing herein shall prohibit counsel for a party in this action from disclosing a 

document or information that constitutes designated information to a person identified as an author, 

addressee (including blind carbon copy addressee), or recipient of such document or information, or 

from disclosing information or testimony relating to a conversation or meeting to which the person is 

identified as a participant. Additionally, any document or information that constitutes designated 

information may be shown, by counsel for a party in this action, to any current employee, consultant, 

expert witness, or representative of the party that produced the document or information so 

designated, during the deposition of that current employee, consultant, expert witness, or 

representative. Also, any document or information that constitutes designated information may be 

shown to any former employee, consultant, expert witness, or representative of the party that 

produced the document or information so designated, during the deposition or other testimony of

so designated was in existence during the period of such individual’s relationship with the disclosing 

party. A document that constitutes designated information that contains handwriting may be shown 

to a deposition witness for the purpose of determining whether the deposition witness is the author of 

the document, provided that counsel establishes through the deposition testimony of the witness a 

reasonable and goof faith basis for believing that the handwriting was or could have been authored 

by the deposition witness, and provided that the counsel takes reasonable steps to ensure that no 

unnecessary disclosure of designated information takes place (e.g., by showing the deposition 

witness a limited sample of the handwriting at issue).
