1. PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS

 Disclosure and discovery activity in this action are likely to involve production of 

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. Accordingly, 

the parties hereby stipulate to and petition the court to enter the following Stipulated Protective 

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, as set forth in Section 10, below, 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. 

 2. DEFINITIONS

 2.1 Party: any party to this action, including all of its officers, directors, 

employees, consultants, retained experts, and outside counsel (and their support staff). 

 2.2 Disclosure or Discovery Material: all items or information, regardless of the 

medium or manner generated, stored, or maintained (including, among other things, testimony, 

transcripts, or tangible things) that are produced or generated in disclosures or responses to discovery 

in this matter including, but not limited to, any document (whether in hard copy or computer readable 

form), thing, deposition testimony, interrogatory answers, responses to requests for admissions and/or 

production, or other information provided in discovery in this action. 

 2.3 “Confidential” Information or Items: any Disclosure or Discovery Material that 

contains non-public, confidential, or proprietary information, whether personal or business-related. 

Certain limited types of “Confidential” Information or Items may be further designated, as defined 

and detailed below, as “Highly Confidential” Information or Items.

 2.4 “Highly Confidential – Attorneys’ Eyes Only” Information or Items: any 

Disclosure or Discovery Material identified in Section 2.3 that satisfies one or more of the following 

categories: (a) the content of any unpublished pending patent applications; (b) trade secrets (as 

defined in Cal. Civil Code § 3426.1) such as customer lists and proprietary product designs, knowhow or proprietary data, confidential research, development, business, financial or commercial 

information (such as non-public sales information), the disclosure of which may cause harm to the 

competitive position of the Designating Party; or (c) information relating to unreleased products or 

products in development. 

 2.5 Receiving Party: a Party that receives Disclosure or Discovery Material from a 

Producing Party. 

 2.6 Producing Party: a Party or non-party that produces Disclosure or Discovery 

Material in this action. 

 2.7. Designating Party: a Party or non-party that designates information or items 

that it produces in disclosures or in responses to discovery as “Confidential” or “Highly Confidential 

— Attorneys’ Eyes Only.” 

 2.8 Protected Material: any Disclosure or Discovery Material that is designated as 

“Confidential” or as “Highly Confidential – Attorneys’ Eyes Only.” 

 2.9. Outside Counsel: attorneys who are not employees of a Party but who are 

retained to represent or advise a Party in this action. 

 2.10 House Counsel: attorneys who are employees of a Party. 

 2.11 Counsel (without qualifier): Outside Counsel and House Counsel (as well as 

their support staffs).

 2.12 Expert: a person with specialized knowledge or experience in a matter 

pertinent to the litigation who has been retained by a Party or its counsel to serve as an expert witness 

or as a consultant in this action and who is not a past or a current employee of a Party or of a 

competitor of a Party’s and who, at the time of retention, is not anticipated to become an employee of 

a Party or a competitor of a Party’s. This definition includes a professional jury or trial consultant 

retained in connection with this litigation.

 2.13 Professional Vendors: persons or entities that provide litigation support 

services (e.g., photocopying; videotaping; translating; preparing exhibits or demonstrations; 

organizing, storing, retrieving data in any form or medium; etc.) and their employees and 

subcontractors. 

 3. SCOPE

 The protections conferred by this Stipulation and Order cover not only Protected Material (as 

defined above), but also any information copied or extracted therefrom, as well as all copies, 

excerpts, summaries, or compilations thereof, plus testimony, conversations, or presentations by 

parties or counsel to or in court or in other settings that might reveal Protected Material. 

 4. DURATION

 Even after the termination of this litigation, the confidentiality obligations imposed by this 

Order shall remain in effect until a Designating Party agrees otherwise in writing or a court order 

otherwise directs. 

 5. DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL

 5.1 Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection. 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, documents, 

items, or oral or written communications that qualify – so that other portions of the material, 

documents, items, or communications for which protection is not warranted are not swept 

unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order. 

 Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations that are 

shown to be clearly unjustified, or that have been made for an improper purpose (e.g., to 

unnecessarily encumber or retard the case development process, or to impose unnecessary expenses 

and burdens on other parties), expose the Designating Party to sanctions.

 If it comes to a Party’s or a non-party’s attention that information or items that it 

designated for protection do not qualify for protection at all, or do not qualify for the level of 

protection initially asserted, that Party or non-party must promptly notify all other parties that it is 

withdrawing the mistaken designation. 

 5.2 Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in this 

Order (see, e.g., second paragraph of section 5.2(a), below), or as otherwise stipulated or ordered, 

material that qualifies for protection under this Order must be clearly so designated before the 

material is disclosed or produced. 

 Designation in conformity with this Order requires: 

 (a) for information in documentary form (apart from transcripts of depositions 

or other pretrial or trial proceedings), that the Producing Party affix the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” 

or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” at the top of each page that 

contains protected material. If only a portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies for 

protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making 

appropriate markings in the margins) and must specify, for each portion, the level of protection being 

asserted (either “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES 

ONLY”). 

 A Party or non-party that makes original documents or materials available for 

inspection need not designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has indicated which 

material it would like copied and produced. During the inspection and before the designation, all of 

the material made available for inspection shall be deemed “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – 

ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.” After the inspecting Party has identified the documents it wants 

copied and produced, the Producing Party must determine which documents, or portions thereof, 

qualify for protection under this Order, then, before producing the specified documents, the 

Producing Party must affix the appropriate legend (“CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY 

CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY”) at the top of each page that contains Protected 

Material. If only a portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the 

Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate

markings in the margins) and must specify, for each portion, the level of protection being asserted 

(either “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY”). 

 (b) for testimony given in deposition or in other pretrial or trial proceedings, 

that the Party or non-party offering or sponsoring the testimony identify on the record, before the 

close of the deposition, hearing, or other proceeding, all protected testimony, and further specify any 

portions of the testimony that qualify as “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES 

ONLY.” When it is impractical to identify separately each portion of testimony that is entitled to 

protection, and when it appears that substantial portions of the testimony may qualify for protection, 

the Party or non-party that sponsors, offers, or gives the testimony may invoke on the record (before 

the deposition or proceeding is concluded) a right to have up to 20 days to identify the specific 

portions of the testimony as to which protection is sought and to specify the level of protection being 

asserted (“CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY”). 

Only those portions of the testimony that are appropriately designated for protection within the 20 

days shall be covered by the provisions of this Stipulated Protective Order. 

 Transcript pages containing Protected Material must be separately bound by 

the court reporter, who must affix to the top of each such page the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” or 

“HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,” as instructed by the Party or 

nonparty offering or sponsoring the witness or presenting the testimony. 

 (c) for information produced in some form other than documentary, and for 

any other tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on the exterior of the 

container or containers in which the information or item is stored the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” or 

“HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.” If only portions of the information 

or item warrant protection, the Producing Party, to the extent practicable, shall identify the protected 

portions, specifying whether they qualify as “Confidential” or as “Highly Confidential – Attorneys’ 

Eyes Only.”

 5.3 Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent failure to 

designate qualified information or items as “Confidential” or “Highly Confidential – Attorneys’ Eyes 

Only” does not, standing alone, waive the Designating Party’s right to secure protection under this 

Order for such material. If material is appropriately designated as “Confidential” or “Highly 

Confidential – Attorneys’ Eyes Only” after the material was initially produced, the Receiving Party, 

on timely notification of the designation, must make reasonable efforts to assure that the material is 

treated in accordance with the provisions of this Order. 

 6. CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS

 6.1 Timing of Challenges. Unless a prompt challenge to a Designating Party’s 

confidentiality designation is necessary to avoid foreseeable substantial unfairness, unnecessary 

economic burdens, or a later significant disruption or delay of the litigation, a Party does not waive its 

right to challenge a confidentiality designation by electing not to mount a challenge promptly after 

the original designation is disclosed. 

 6.2 Meet and Confer. A Party that elects to initiate a challenge to a Designating 

Party’s confidentiality designation must do so in good faith and must begin the process by conferring 

directly with counsel for the Designating Party. In conferring, the challenging Party must explain the 

basis for its belief that the confidentiality designation was not proper and must give the Designating 

Party an opportunity to review the designated material, to reconsider the circumstances, and, if no 

change in designation is offered, to explain the basis for the chosen designation. A challenging Party 

may proceed to the next stage of the challenge process only if it has engaged in this meet and confer 

process first. 

 6.3 Judicial Intervention. A Party that elects to press a challenge to a 

confidentiality designation after considering the justification offered by the Designating Party may 

file and serve a motion under Civil Local Rule 7 (and in compliance with Civil Local Rule 79-5, if 

applicable) that identifies the challenged material and sets forth in detail the basis for the challenge. 

Each such motion must be accompanied by a competent declaration that affirms that the movant has 

complied with the meet and confer requirements imposed in the preceding paragraph and that sets

forth with specificity the justification for the confidentiality designation that was given by the 

Designating Party in the meet and confer dialogue. 

 The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on the 

Designating Party. Until the court rules on the challenge, 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. 

 7. ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL

 7.1 Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is 

disclosed or produced by another Party or by a non-party in connection with this case only for 

prosecuting, defending, or attempting to settle this litigation. Such Protected Material may be 

disclosed only to the categories of persons and under the conditions described in this Order. When the 

litigation has been terminated, a Receiving Party must comply with the provisions of section 11, 

below (FINAL DISPOSITION). 

 Protected Material must be stored and maintained by a Receiving Party at a location 

and in a secure manner that ensures that access is limited to the persons authorized under this Order. 

 7.2 Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items. Unless otherwise 

ordered by the court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party, a Receiving Party may disclose 

any information or item designated CONFIDENTIAL only to: 

 (a) the Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of record in this action, as well as 

employees of said Counsel to whom it is reasonably necessary to disclose the information for this 

litigation and who have signed the “Agreement to Be Bound by Protective Order” that is attached 

hereto as Exhibit A; 

 (b) the officers, directors, and employees (including House Counsel) of the 

Receiving Party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this litigation and who have signed 

the “Agreement to Be Bound by Protective Order” (Exhibit A);

 (e) court reporters, their staffs, and professional vendors to whom disclosure is 

reasonably necessary for this litigation and who have signed the “Agreement to Be Bound by 

Protective Order” (Exhibit A); 

 (f) during their depositions, witnesses in the action to whom disclosure is 

reasonably necessary and who have signed the “Agreement to Be Bound by Protective Order” 

(Exhibit A). Pages of transcribed deposition testimony or exhibits to depositions that reveal 

Protected Material must be separately bound by the court reporter and may not be disclosed to 

anyone except as permitted under this Stipulated Protective Order; and 

 (g) the author of the document or the original source of the information. 

 7.3 Disclosure of “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY”

Information or Items. Unless otherwise ordered by the court or permitted in writing by the 

Designating Party, a Receiving Party may disclose any information or item designated “HIGHLY 

CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” only to: 

 (a) the Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of record in this action, as well as

Counsel to whom it is reasonably necessary to disclose the information for this litigation and who 

have signed the “Agreement to Be Bound by Protective Order” that is attached hereto as Exhibit A;

 (f) the author of the document or the original source of the information. 

 8. PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED IN 

OTHER LITIGATION. 

 If a Receiving Party is served with a subpoena or an order issued in other litigation that would 

compel disclosure of any information or items designated in this action as “CONFIDENTIAL” or 

“HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,” the Receiving Party must so notify 

the Designating Party, in writing (by fax or email, if possible) immediately and in no event more than 

three court 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 Protective Order. In addition, the Receiving Party must deliver a copy of 

this Stipulated Protective Order promptly to the Party in the other action that caused the subpoena or 

order to issue. 

 The purpose of imposing these duties is to alert the interested parties to the existence of this 

Protective 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.

 9. UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL

 If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has disclosed Protected 

Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized under this Stipulated Protective Order, 

the Receiving Party must immediately (a) notify in writing the Designating Party of the unauthorized 

disclosures, (b) use its best efforts to retrieve all copies of the Protected Material, (c) inform the 

person or persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the terms of this Order, and (d) 

request such person or persons to execute the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” that is 

attached hereto as Exhibit A. 

 10. FILING PROTECTED MATERIAL. 

 Without written permission from the Designating Party or a court order secured after 

appropriate notice to all interested persons, a Party may not file in the public record in this action any 

Protected Material. A Party that seeks to file under seal any Protected Material must comply with 

Civil Local Rule 79-5. 

 11. FINAL DISPOSITION. 

 Unless otherwise ordered or agreed in writing by the Producing Party, within ninety days after 

the final termination of this action, each Receiving Party must return all Protected Material to the 

Producing Party. As used in this subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes all copies, abstracts, 

compilations, summaries or any other form of reproducing or capturing any of the Protected Material. 

With permission in writing from the Designating Party, the Receiving Party may destroy some or all 

of the Protected Material instead of returning it. Whether the Protected Material is returned or 

destroyed, the Receiving Party must submit a written certification to the Producing Party (and, if not 

the same person or entity, to the Designating Party) by the ninety day deadline that identifies (by 

category, where appropriate) all the Protected Material that was returned or destroyed and that 

affirms that the Receiving Party has not retained any copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries or
