5. Inadvertent Production 

(a) Inadvertent production of material subject to the attorney-client privilege, work 

product immunity or other applicable privilege or immunity shall not constitute a waiver of any 

privilege or immunity provided that the producing party notifies the receiving party in writing 

promptly after discovery of such inadvertent production. Such inadvertently produced material shall 

be returned to the producing party upon request. No use shall be made of such material during a 

deposition or at trial, nor shall such material be shown to anyone who has not already been given 

access to it subsequent to the request for its return. If the parties are unable to reach an agreement 

within ten (10) days of such notice as to the disposition of such material, the producing party may 

seek relief from the Court. The receiving party shall not disclose material for which a claim of 

privilege or immunity is made pursuant to this paragraph to any person, until the expiration of the 

ten-day period identified in this paragraph or, if application is made to this Court, until disposition of 

that application, including appeals. Further, the receiving party shall recall all but one copy of the 

requested materials from any person who received it prior the receipt of the request to return the 

materials. 

(b) In the event of any disclosure of CONFIDENTIAL or HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL - 

ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY material, other than in the manner authorized by this Order, counsel 

for the party responsible for the disclosure shall immediately notify counsel of the party who 

produced the material of all of the pertinent facts, and make every effort to prevent further 

unauthorized disclosure by, among other things, retrieving all such disclosed material and copies of 

such materials and making good faith efforts to have all unauthorized persons to whom disclosure 

was made sign the undertaking annexed at Exhibit A. This provision does not prevent the party 

whose materials were wrongly disclosed from seeking additional relief.

shown to him or her. Further, to qualify as a non-party expert or independent consultant who may

(d) The proposed non-party expert or independent consultant shall neither be nor have 

been previously engaged by the opposing party in the past five years and still be under an obligation 

to preserve that party’s confidential information. 

(e) The party whose information is sought to be disclosed shall have ten calendar (10) 

days from the receipt of this identification to object to such disclosure, stating the reasons for such 

objection. If an objection is timely made, there shall be no disclosure of such CONFIDENTIAL or 

HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL - ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY material until the issue is resolved 

either by the parties or by Court order. This 10-day time period shall not begin until complete 

disclosures are made pursuant to Paragraph 6(a). 

The persons receiving CONFIDENTIAL or HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL - ATTORNEYS’ 

EYES ONLY material are prohibited from disclosing it to any other person, except in conformance 

with this Order. The exchange of undertakings signed by the persons described in paragraphs 2(d) 

and 4(c) shall not constitute a waiver of the attorney-client, attorney work-product, or any other 

privilege and shall not subject those consultants who are not designated as testifying experts to 

discovery except to confirm compliance with this order. 

7. Inadvertent Failure To Designate 

No designation of documents, including the papers served and/or filed in this case, as 

“CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL - ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” information 

shall be effective unless there is placed or affixed on such material the following legend prior to its 

production: “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL - ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.” 

In the event that a producing party inadvertently fails to stamp or otherwise designate a document or 

other information as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL - ATTORNEYS’ EYES 

ONLY” at the time of its production, it may be corrected by written notification to opposing counsel

confidentiality designation. The receiving party shall make a reasonable effort to substitute the new 

copies for the previous copies, including but not limiting to recalling any copies from any consultant 

or expert and substituting correct copies. Opposing counsel and the opposing party shall not be 

responsible for any otherwise proper actions it took with respect to such information before 

receiving notice of the designation. Any document produced prior to the execution of this Order, 

and that was deemed confidential and produced pursuant to the interim agreement between the 

parties shall be treated as HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL - ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY unless a party 

otherwise indicates in writing before or after execution of this Order. 

8. Designation Of Testimony 

Portions of testimony given at a deposition or hearing (including exhibits) may be designated 

as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL - ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” by an 

appropriate statement on the record at the time of the giving of such testimony, or upon review of 

such transcript by counsel for the party whose CONFIDENTIAL material or HIGHLY 

CONFIDENTIAL - ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY material was given or otherwise produced at the 

deposition. Said review by counsel shall occur within thirty (30) days after counsel’s receipt of the 

transcript and shall occur as follows: counsel shall designate and list on a separate piece of paper the 

numbers of the pages and the numbers of the lines of the transcript containing CONFIDENTIAL or 

HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL - ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY material and shall mail copies of this 

list to counsel for all parties so that it may be affixed to the face of the transcript and also to each 

copy. During this thirty (30) day review period the entire deposition transcript, including exhibits, 

shall be deemed HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL - ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY material. If there is no 

statement on the record designating any portion of the transcript as “CONFIDENTIAL” or

including patent prosecution or product design and development. Counsel of record and the parties 

hereto shall take reasonable steps necessary to maintain such CONFIDENTIAL or HIGHLY 

CONFIDENTIAL - ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY information in confidence and prevent persons 

from using, disclosing, or recording the CONFIDENTIAL or HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL - 

ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY information for any other purpose. 

10. Storage Of Designated Materials 

All CONFIDENTIAL or HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL - ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY 

material shall be stored under the direct control of outside counsel of record or persons approved

secure and safe area and shall exercise the same standard of due and proper care with respect to the 

storage, custody, use and/or dissemination of such material as is exercised by the receiving party 

with respect to its own proprietary information, but no less than a reasonable standard of due and 

proper care, and (b) shall be responsible for preventing any disclosure of such material, except in 

accordance with the terms of this Order.

After a final, non-appealable termination of this case, receiving outside counsel may retain

and samples to the extent they include or reflect receiving attorney’s work product. All other 

CONFIDENTIAL or HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL - ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY material produced

provided to any consultant or expert. No expert, consultant, or vendor shall retain any 

CONFIDENTIAL or HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL - ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY materials, or 

copies or derivative materials thereof, of an opposing party or non-party after the termination of this 

case. The obligation on outside counsel to maintain the confidentiality of materials designated as 

“CONFIDENTIAL” and “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL - ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” pursuant to 

this order shall be deemed continuing.

order invalidating or modifying the designation to which the moving party objects. The motion 

should identify with particularity the specific document or information that the challenging party 

believes was improperly designated and state with particularity and detail the factual and legal 

grounds on which the challenging party disagrees with the designation. The restricted status of such 

information will remain unless and until the Court rules on the motion and determines that such 

information is not entitled to its designated status. In connection with the motion, the designating 

party bears the burden of proof to show by a preponderance of the evidence that there is good cause 

for the document to have the protection claimed by the designating party.
