“Defendants”) (hereinafter the “Parties”), hereby stipulate and agree to enter into the 

following “Protective Order” that will apply to confidential information and documents 

produced in this litigation. 

 The Parties agree that the entry into this Protective Order regarding the disclosure

Information”) shall mean any confidential business or commercial information, including, 

but not limited to, trade secrets and other confidential and proprietary research, 

development, and commercial information, as well as non-public financial information 

and/or information protected by the right to privacy under any state or federal law, and 

shall include all discovery responses provided by any party to this action, including 

without limitation any document produced, any interrogatory answered, any response to 

a request for admission, or any deposition testimony given by a party or a third-party 

witness, whether or not such information is specifically marked, labeled, stamped or 

otherwise designated as “Confidential” by the producing party. Confidential Information 

shall also include any document attached as an exhibit to a pleading filed with or 

otherwise submitted to the Court which has been specifically marked, labeled, stamped or 

otherwise designated as “Confidential” by the submitting party. The parties anticipate 

that certain third party witnesses may be required to produce documents and provide 

testimony under subpoena in this case (“Producing Witnesses”). They may also be 

required to produce documents in this case which the Producing Witnesses, in good faith, 

regard as trade secret, confidential, sensitive, proprietary or private. 

 2. Confidential Documents: For documents, materials, and other tangible 

items , a party or Producing Witness shall designate such information as Confidential 

Information by stamping each page or item containing Confidential Information as 

“Confidential.” Where there are multiple-page documents, stamping the first page of the 

multiple-page document with the word “Confidential” will be sufficient to designate the 

entire document with the designation contained on the first page. 

 a. For deposition testimony (including transcripts and videotapes), a 

party or Producing Witness can either designate such Confidential Information as 

“Confidential” on the record, or within ten days after receipt of the deposition by 

providing written notification to the opposing counsel or other counsel of the 

designation of particular pages and line numbers of the deposition as “Confidential.” 

Such party or Producing Witness may require the reporter to label the portions of the

transcript containing the information as “Confidential.” 

 b. For information maintained in computer-readable or electronic 

media such as diskettes, a party or Producing Witness shall designate such information as 

“Confidential” by stamping the appropriate designation on the outside of the diskette or 

other information containing the computer-readable or other electronic information. 

 A party’s or Producing Witness’s inadvertent or unintentional failure to designate 

information as “Confidential” shall not be deemed a waiver in whole or in part of that 

party’s or Producing Witness’s claim of confidentiality of the disclosing party or 

Producing Witness provided the disclosing party or Producing Witness takes prompt 

action after discovery of such omission to notify all parties in writing that such 

information constitutes “Confidential” information. Nothing contained herein shall 

preclude a party from showing its information that the party has previously designated as 

“Confidential” information to any person or entity it chooses. 

 3. Except with prior written consent of the party who authored, created, 

produced or otherwise generated such information, information marked, labeled, 

stamped or otherwise designated as “Confidential” (including, but not limited to, 

summaries, copies, or extracts thereof) shall not be shown or disclosed to anyone except 

the following parties: 

 a. The parties and parties’ counsel of record and their co-counsel, Inhouse or outside attorneys for a party, and employees of such attorneys if any, as well as 

their respective support staff, clerical and/or administrative personnel, secretaries and 

paralegals; 

 b. Deponents in a deposition; 

 c. Any person who is expressly retained by a party, or such party’s 

counsel for the sole purpose of providing expert consultation of testimony in this action; 

 d. Any person or entity who is expressly retained by a party, or such 

party’s counsel to provide investigative services in connection with this action; 

 e. The Judge, Arbitrator or a court-appointed mediator in this action,

and other court personnel; and 

 f. Certified court reporters acting as such. 

 4. The Designating Party has the burden upon receiving an objection by any 

other Party, of showing that the designated Discovery Material is entitled to protection 

under Federal and/or California law. Any Party may object to any Party’s designation of 

the Discovery Material under this Protective Order in writing delivered to counsel for the 

Designating Party, and a Party does not waive his right to object to confidentiality 

designation by electing not to object promptly after the original designation is disclosed. 

 a. Within fourteen (14) business days of the service of a written 

objection, the Designating Party shall either meet and confer and obtain a stipulation 

from the objecting party that the objected material shall remain confidential, or falling 

that, move for a protective order. However, if the Designating Party fails to move for the 

Protective Order within 14 days of his receipt of an objection, the claim of confidentiality 

shall be deemed waived in its entirety as to the particular designated material that is 

objected to, this Stipulation shall have no effect as to such material, and the Objecting 

Party may ignore the marking of “Confidential...” on such material. Each Motion for a 

Protective Order must be accompanied by a competent declaration that attaches a copy 

of the written objection by the challenging Party and the written explanation by the 

designating Party. 

 b. At all times, the burden of persuasion in any motion proceeding shall 

remain on the Designating Party. Until the court rules on the Motion for a Protective 

Order, all parties shall continue to afford the material in question the level of protection 

to which it is entitled under the Producing Party’s designation. 

 5. The Parties counsel of record, for themselves and for their co-counsel, if 

any, agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Protective Order. Before 

providing “Confidential” information to any other person or entity as described in subparagraphs 3c and 3d, above, the parties of counsel providing such “Confidential” 

information, shall first advise the recipients that such information is being disclosed

pursuant to and subject to the terms of this Protective Order, and that the sanctions for 

any violation of the Protective Order include penalties which may be imposed by the 

Court for contempt. Such persons shall also be advised of the terms of this Protective 

Order, be provided with a copy of this Protective Order and execute a Non-Disclosure 

Agreement in the form attached hereto as “Exhibit A” prior to being provided such 

information. Furthermore, such information shall be provided subject to the limitations 

and restrictions of paragraph 10, below. 

 6. All persons having access to “Confidential” information authored, created, 

produced or otherwise generated by an adverse party, shall treat such information and/or 

document as strictly confidential and shall not permit access to such information except 

as specifically authorized by this Protective Order. Said information shall not be 

discussed with anyone other than the counsel seeking permission to disclose the 

information pursuant to paragraph 6, and such information shall be used solely for the 

prosecution or defense of this action and not for any business or any other purpose 

whatsoever, including without limitation, the prosecution or defense of any other 

arbitration, litigation or other proceeding or the investigation or assertion, in any form or 

forum whatsoever, of any claim, counterclaim or other cause of action not asserted in the 

present action. Nor shall such information be used by the parties’ counsel, directly, or 

indirectly, to solicit new litigation business or to enter into new client relationships. 

 7. A party who intends to file a pleading, brief, transcript or other document 

with the Court that contains, refers to or attaches Confidential Information shall comply 

with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and/or the Local Rules of the Eastern District of 

California, as applicable, regarding the filing of documents under seal. 

 8. Nothing in the Protective Order shall prevent any party from: 

 a. seeking a modification of this Protective Order for good cause 

shown, provided, however, that any modification which permits broader disclosure of 

“Confidential” information than that contemplated herein shall require the approval of 

the Court and shall be formulated in such a way as to minimize the disclosure of such

information and to provide adequate safeguards against the improper use of such 

material; 

 b. requesting such supplemental orders as may be necessary to 

implement the intention of this Protective Order; or 

 c. objecting to discovery which it believes to be otherwise improper. 

 9. Nothing in this Protective Order shall be construed to require the disclosure 

of information, documents or other tangible things that are protected from disclosure by 

the attorney-client privilege, the attorney-work product doctrine or any other applicable 

privilege or immunity. A producing party may produce a redacted version of information, 

documents or things that it contends is protected from disclosure by the attorney-client 

privilege, the attorney-work product doctrine or any other identified, applicable privilege 

or immunity, identifying where the privileged or immune material was redacted with the 

designation “Redacted-Privileged.” In the event that a Party inadvertently or mistakenly 

produces information, documents or tangible things that are protected from disclosure 

under the attorney-client privilege, the attorney-work product doctrine or any other 

identified, applicable privilege or immunity, such production shall not prejudice such 

claim or otherwise constitute a waiver of any claim of attorney-client privilege, attorneywork product doctrine or other indentified, applicable privilege or immunity. A producing 

Party may promptly (from the time when the producing party discovers that is has 

inadvertently or mistakenly produced such information) notify all receiving Parties of the 

inadvertent production in writing and request that the inadvertently produced 

information, documents or tangible things be returned to the Producing Party. Within 

three (3) business days of receiving such notice and request, all receiving Parties shall 

return or destroy the inadvertently or mistakenly produced information, documents or 

tangible things identified by the producing Party. The receiving Party may retain one 

copy of such material for the sole purpose of submitting the material to the Court under 

seal in connection with the receiving Party’s challenge to the producing Party’s claim that 

such information, documents or tangible things are protected from disclosure by the

applicable privilege or immunity. 

 10. With the exceptions of waiver as provided for in Paragraph 4(a), and at the 

time of trial, the obligation to maintain the confidentiality of “Confidential” information 

shall continue indefinitely following the final disposition of this action, unless and until 

the party who authored, created or otherwise generated such “Confidential” information 

consents in writing to its disclosure or such information is published or disseminated to 

the general public by said party. 

 11. This Protective Order shall not apply to the disclosure of Confidential 

Documents or the information contained therein at the time of trial, through the receipt 

of Confidential Documents into evidence or through the testimony of witnesses. The 

closure of trial proceedings and sealing of the record of a trial involve considerations not 

presently before the Court. These issues may be taken up as a separate matter upon the 

motion of any of the parties. 

 12. All “Confidential Documents” produced or disclosed in this action shall be 

used solely for the purposes of preparation for and the trial of this action. Under no 

circumstances shall information or materials covered by this Order be disclosed to 

anyone other than those persons set forth in paragraphs 3, above. All Confidential 

Documents shall be maintained under the control of and accounted for by the attorney, 

party or other entity or person receiving them. Upon entry of judgment or dismissal of 

this action, any attorney, party or other entity or person receiving any Confidential 

Document shall promptly: (1) return to counsel for the producing party all Confidential 

Document produced in this action or provide certification of destruction of all 

Confidential Documents and all documents incorporating information from Confidential 

Documents, and all copies made thereof, including all documents or copies of documents 

provided by the party to any other person, other than attorney work product; (2) return or 

provide certification of destruction of all DVDs, CDs or other media containing or 

incorporating Confidential Documents; (3) return or provide certification of destruction of

provide certification of deletion of Confidential Documents and all documents containing 

information from Confidential Documents, and all copies made thereof, including all 

documents or copies of documents provided by the party to any other person from all 

systems, applications, hard drives, servers, web-based or other storage repositories of any 

type; and (5) provide assurance that no steps will be taken at any time in the future to 

restore deleted Confidential Documents and all documents containing information from 

Confidential Documents, and that any inadvertent violation of this assurance and steps 

taken to remedy it will be promptly reported to the other party. Independent experts and 

consultants retained by a party for the preparation or trial of this case that have received 

Confidential Documents shall return to the producing party or provide certification of 

destruction of all Confidential Documents and all documents incorporating information 

from Confidential Documents, and all copies made thereof, including all documents or 

copies of documents provided by the party to any other person, other than attorney work 

product. Notwithstanding the foregoing, outside counsel of record may retain copies of 

briefs and other papers filed with the Court as well as attorney work-product that 

contains or constitutes “Confidential” Information so long as such briefs and other papers 

are maintained in confidence in accordance with the provisions of this Protective Order. 

Furthermore, each outside counsel of record may retain a litigation set of all materials 

produced during discovery in this action, including documents and tangible items 

containing Confidential Information, so long as that counsel maintains the confidence of 

those archived discovery materials in accordance with the requirements of this Protective 

Order. 

 13. This Protective Order and any modification hereof may be enforced by the 

Court and any violation may be remedied by payment of such sums as the Court deems
