[PROPOSED] STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER RE DISCLOSURE AND USE OF DISCOVERY MATERIALS

CASE NO. 3:14-CV-01619-WHO 1

sf-3457344 

Plaintiffs Patricia Sue Adkins, Jennifer Galindo, and Fabrienne English (“Plaintiffs”), and 

Defendants Apple Inc., AppleCare Service Company, Inc., and Apple CSC Inc. (“Defendants”) 

anticipate that documents, testimony, or information containing or reflecting confidential, 

proprietary, trade secret, and/or commercially sensitive information are likely to be disclosed 

or produced during the course of discovery, initial disclosures, and supplemental disclosures 

in this case and request that the Court enter this Order setting forth the conditions for treating, 

obtaining, and using such information. 

Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(c), the Court finds good cause for the 

following Agreed Protective Order Regarding the Disclosure and Use of Discovery Materials 

(“Order” or “Protective Order”).

1. PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS 

(a) Protected Material designated under the terms of this Protective Order shall 

be used by a Receiving Party solely for this case, and shall not be used directly or indirectly for 

any other purpose whatsoever. 

(b) The Parties acknowledge that this Order does not confer blanket 

protections on all disclosures or responses to discovery and that the protection it affords from 

public disclosure and use extends only to the limited information or items that are entitled to 

confidential treatment under the applicable legal principles. The parties further acknowledge, as 

set forth in Section 13, below, that this Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle them to file 

confidential information under seal; Civil Local Rule 79-5 sets forth the procedures that must be 

followed and the standards that will be applied when a party seeks permission from the court to 

file material under seal. If it comes to a Designating Party’s attention that designated material 

does not qualify for protection at all, or does not qualify for the level of protection initially 

asserted, the Designating Party must promptly notify all other Parties that it is withdrawing or 

changing the designation. 

(c) 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. To the extent it is practical to do so, the Designating Party must 

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. 

2. DEFINITIONS 

(a) “Discovery Material” means all items or information, including from any 

non-party, regardless of the medium or manner generated, stored, or maintained (including, 

among other things, testimony, transcripts, or tangible things) that are produced, disclosed, or 

generated in connection with discovery or Rule 26(a) disclosures in this case, as well as any 

information copied or extracted therefrom, and any copies, excerpts, summaries, or compilations 

thereof. 

(b) “Outside Counsel” means (i) outside counsel who appear on the pleadings 

as counsel for a Party and (ii) partners, associates, and staff of such counsel to whom it is 

necessary to disclose the information for this litigation. 

(c) “Party” means any party to this case, including all of its officers, directors, 

employees, consultants, retained experts, and outside counsel and their support staffs. 

(d) “Producing Party” means any Party or non-party that discloses or produces 

any Discovery Material in this case. 

(e) “Protected Material” means any Discovery Material that is designated as 

“CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL - ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,” as 

provided for in this Order, as well as any information copied or extracted therefrom, and any 

copies, excerpts, summaries, or compilations thereof. Protected Material shall not include:

(i) advertising materials that have been actually published or publicly disseminated; and 

(ii) materials that show on their face they have been disseminated to the public. 

(f) “Designating Party” means any Party or non-party that designates any 

Discovery Material as Protected Material. 

(g) “Receiving Party” means any Party who receives Discovery Material from 

a Producing Party. 

3. COMPUTATION OF TIME 

The computation of any period of time prescribed or allowed by this Order shall be 

governed by the provisions for computing time set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 6.

4. SCOPE 

(a) The protections conferred by this Order cover not only Discovery Material 

governed by this Order as addressed herein, 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 their counsel in court or in other settings that might 

reveal Protected Material. 

(b) Nothing in this Protective Order shall prevent or restrict a Producing 

Party’s own disclosure or use of its own Protected Material for any purpose, and nothing in this 

Order shall preclude any Producing Party from showing its Protected Material to an individual 

who prepared the Protected Material.

(c) Nothing in this Order shall be construed to prejudice any Party’s right to 

use any Protected Material in court or in any court filing with the consent of the Producing Party 

and the Designating Party or by order of the Court. 

(d) This Order is without prejudice to the right of any Party to seek further or 

additional protection of any Discovery Material or seek to modify this Order in any way, 

including, without limitation, an order that certain matter not be produced at all. 

(e) The Parties agree that this Protective Order does not address the production 

of source code (including computer code, scripts, assembly, object code, source code listings and

descriptions of source code, object code listings and descriptions of object code, and Hardware 

Description Language (HDL) or Register Transfer Level (RTL) files that describe the hardware 

design of any ASIC or other chip). The Parties further agree that, at this time, Plaintiffs do not 

anticipate propounding any discovery specifically requesting the production of Apple’s source 

code, and Apple agrees that none of its responses to Plaintiffs’ discovery served as of the date of 

this Order requires the production of source code. To the extent Apple determines that its 

responses to any discovery subsequently served by Plaintiffs would reveal or require the 

production of source code, Apple shall promptly provide notice of same to Plaintiffs. To the 

extent Plaintiffs specifically request in discovery for Apple to reveal or produce Apple’s source 

code, Plaintiffs shall promptly provide notice of same to Apple. Within fourteen (14) days of 

either such notice, the Parties shall meet and confer regarding the negotiation of a protective order 

governing the production of source code. If the Parties are unable to reach agreement as to an 

acceptable protective order, Apple shall move the Court for protective order addressing the 

potential production of its source code and materials related to its source code. 

5. DURATION 

Even after final disposition 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. Final disposition shall be deemed to be the later of (1) dismissal of all 

claims and defenses in this action, with or without prejudice; and (2) final judgment herein after 

the completion and exhaustion of all appeals, rehearings, remands, trials, or reviews of this action, 

including the time limits for filing any motions or applications for extension of time pursuant to 

applicable law. 

6. ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL 

(a) Basic Principles. All Protected Material shall be used solely for this case 

or any related appellate proceeding, and not for any other purpose whatsoever, including without 

limitation any other litigation, patent prosecution or acquisition, patent reexamination or reissue

proceedings, or any business or competitive purpose or function. Protected Material shall not be 

distributed, disclosed, or made available to anyone except as expressly provided in this Order. 

(b) Secure Storage. 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. 

(c) Legal Advice Based on Protected Material. Nothing in this Protective 

Order shall be construed to prevent counsel from advising their clients with respect to this case 

based in whole or in part upon Protected Materials, provided counsel does not disclose the 

Protected Material itself except as provided in this Order. 

(d) Limitations. Nothing in this Order shall restrict in any way a Producing 

Party’s use or disclosure of its own Protected Material. Nothing in this Order shall restrict in any 

way the use or disclosure of Discovery Material by a Receiving Party: (i) that is or has become 

publicly known through no fault of the Receiving Party; (ii) that is lawfully acquired by or 

lawfully known to the Receiving Party independent of the Producing Party; (iii) previously 

produced, disclosed and/or provided by the Producing Party to the Receiving Party or a nonparty without an obligation of confidentiality and not by inadvertence or mistake; (iv) with the 

consent of the Producing Party; or (v) pursuant to order of the Court.

7. DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL 

(a) Available Designations. Any Party may designate Discovery Material with 

any of the following designations, provided that it meets the requirements for such designations 

as provided for herein: “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ 

EYES ONLY.” 

(b) Written Discovery and Documents and Tangible Things. Written 

discovery, documents (which include “electronically stored information,” as that phrase is used in 

Federal Rule of Procedure 34), and tangible things that meet the requirements for the 

confidentiality designations listed in Paragraph 7(a) may be so designated by placing the 

appropriate designation on every page of the written material prior to production. For digital files

being produced, the Designating Party may mark each viewable page or image with the 

appropriate designation, and mark the medium, container, and/or communication in which the 

digital files were contained. In the event that original documents are produced for inspection, the 

original documents shall be presumed “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES 

ONLY” during the inspection and re-designated, as appropriate during the copying process. 

(c) Native Files. Where electronic files and documents are produced in native 

electronic format, such electronic files and documents shall be designated for protection under 

this Order by appending to the file names or designators information indicating whether the file 

contains “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” 

material, or shall use any other reasonable method for so designating Protected Materials 

produced in electronic format. When electronic files or documents are printed for use at 

deposition, in a court proceeding, or for provision in printed form to an expert or consultant preapproved pursuant to Paragraph 10, the party printing the electronic files or documents shall affix 

a legend to the printed document corresponding to the designation of the Designating Party and 

including the production number and designation associated with the native file. No one shall 

seek to use in this litigation a .tiff, .pdf, or other image format version of a document produced in 

native file format without first (1) providing a copy of the image format version to the Producing 

Party so that the Producing Party can review the image to ensure that no information has been 

altered, and (2) obtaining the consent of the Producing Party, which consent shall not be 

unreasonably withheld. 

(d) Depositions and Testimony. Parties or testifying persons or entities may 

designate depositions and other testimony with the appropriate designation by indicating on the 

record at the time the testimony is given or by sending written notice of how portions of the 

transcript of the testimony is designated within thirty (30) days of receipt of the transcript of the 

testimony. If no indication on the record is made, all information disclosed during a deposition 

shall be deemed “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” until the time 

within which it may be appropriately designated as provided for herein has passed. Any Party

that wishes to disclose the transcript, or information contained therein, may provide written notice 

of its intent to treat the transcript as non-confidential, after which time, any Party that wants to 

maintain any portion of the transcript as confidential must designate the confidential portions 

within fourteen (14) days, or else the transcript may be treated as non-confidential. Any 

Protected Material that is used in the taking of a deposition shall remain subject to the provisions 

of this Protective Order, along with the transcript pages of the deposition testimony dealing with 

such Protected Material. In such cases the court reporter shall be informed of this Protective 

Order and shall be required to operate in a manner consistent with this Protective Order. In the 

event the deposition is videotaped, the original and all copies of the videotape shall be marked by 

the video technician to indicate that the contents of the videotape are subject to this Protective 

Order, substantially along the lines of “This videotape contains confidential testimony used in 

this case and is not to be viewed or the contents thereof to be displayed or revealed except 

pursuant to the terms of the operative Protective Order in this matter or pursuant to written 

stipulation of the parties.” Counsel for any Producing Party or Designating Party shall have 

the right to exclude from oral depositions, other than the deponent, deponent’s counsel, the 

reporter and videographer (if any), any person who is not authorized by this Protective Order 

to receive or access Protected Material based on the designation of such Protected Material. 

Such right of exclusion shall be applicable only during periods of examination or testimony 

regarding such Protected Material. 

8. DISCOVERY MATERIAL DESIGNATED AS “CONFIDENTIAL”

(a) A Party may designate Discovery Material as “CONFIDENTIAL” if it 

contains or reflects confidential, proprietary, and/or commercially sensitive information. 

(b) Unless otherwise ordered by the Court, Discovery Material designated as 

“CONFIDENTIAL” may be disclosed only to the following: 

(i) The Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel, such counsel’s immediate 

paralegals and staff, and any copying or clerical litigation support services working at the

(ii) Not more than three (3) representatives of the Receiving Party who 

are officers or employees of the Receiving Party, who may be, but need not be, in-house counsel 

for the Receiving Party, as well as their immediate paralegals and staff, to whom disclosure is 

necessary for this case, provided that each such person has agreed to be bound by the provisions 

of the Protective Order by signing a copy of Exhibit A-1; 

(iii) Any outside expert or consultant retained by the Receiving Party to 

assist in this action, provided that disclosure is only to the extent necessary to perform such 

work; and provided that: (a) such expert or consultant has agreed to be bound by the provisions 

of the Protective Order by signing a copy of Exhibit A-2; (b) such expert or consultant is not a 

current officer, director, or employee of a Party or of a competitor of a Party, nor anticipated at 

the time of retention to become an officer, director or employee of a Party or of a competitor of a 

Party; and (c) such expert or consultant otherwise complies with the requirements set forth in 

Paragraph 10. 

(iv) Court reporters, stenographers and videographers retained to record 

testimony taken in this action; 

(v) The Court, jury, and court personnel; 

(vi) Graphics, translation, design, litigation and discovery support, 

and/or trial consulting personnel, having first agreed to be bound by the provisions of the 

Protective Order by signing a copy of Exhibit A-1;

not to publicly disclose Protected Material and to keep any information concerning Protected 

Material confidential, and having first agreed to be bound by the provisions of the Protective

staff, subject to their agreement to maintain confidentiality to the same degree as required by this 

Protective Order; and 

(ix) Any other person with the prior written consent of the Producing 

Party and the Designating Party. 

9. DISCOVERY MATERIAL DESIGNATED AS “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL 

–ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY”

(a) A Party may designate Discovery Material as “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL 

– ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” if it contains or reflects information that is extremely 

confidential and/or sensitive in nature and the Party reasonably believes that the disclosure of 

such Discovery Material is likely to cause economic harm or significant competitive disadvantage 

to the Party. The Parties agree that the following information, if non-public, shall be presumed to 

merit the “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” designation: trade 

secrets, pricing information, financial data, sales information, sales or marketing forecasts or 

plans, business plans, sales or marketing strategy, product development information, engineering 

documents, testing documents, employee information, and other non-public information of 

similar competitive and business sensitivity. 

(b) Unless otherwise ordered by the Court, Discovery Material designated as 

“HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” may be disclosed only to: 

(i) The Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel, provided that such Outside 

Counsel is not involved in competitive decision-making, as defined by U.S. Steel v. United States, 

730 F.2d 1465, 1468 n.3 (Fed. Cir. 1984) (“a counsel’s activities, association, and relationship 

with a client that are such as to involve counsel’s advice and participation in any or all of the 

client’s decisions (pricing, product design, etc.) made in light of similar or corresponding 

information about a competitor”), on behalf of a Party or a competitor of a Party, and such 

Outside Counsel’s immediate paralegals and staff, and any copying or clerical litigation support 

services working at the direction of such counsel, paralegals, and staff;

Bound by Protective Order,” attached hereto as Exhibit A-1, or, if the person to whom the 

“HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL - ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” information or item is to be 

disclosed is an expert, that person shall sign and abide by the terms of the “Expert/Consultant 

Acknowledgment of Confidentiality and Agreement to Be Bound by Protective Order,” attached 

hereto as Exhibit A-2, and shall otherwise comply with the requirements of Paragraph 10(c). The 

person to whom the “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL - ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” information 

or item is disclosed shall not give, show, or otherwise divulge any of the “HIGHLY 

CONFIDENTIAL - ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” information to any entity or person except as 

specifically provided for by this Stipulation and Protective Order. 

(b) Procedure for Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items to 

Mock Jurors: 

(i) A Receiving Party may disclose to mock jurors materials prepared 

by its outside counsel that are derived from information or items designated “CONFIDENTIAL” 

(but not materials that are derived from information or items designated “HIGHLY 

CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY”), so long as the derivative materials do not 

include the as produced information itself. Before providing such material to a mock juror, the 

Receiving Party must, in compliance with Paragraph 8(b)(vii) above, tender a copy of this 

Stipulation and Protective Order to each mock juror in order that each person to whom such 

disclosure is made shall be on notice and fully informed that the existence and substance of the 

Stipulation and Protective Order is, and is intended to be, equally binding upon it, him or her, as 

well as upon the Parties and their counsel. Before any materials prepared by outside counsel that 

are derived from information or items designated “CONFIDENTIAL” are disclosed to a mock 

juror, each such person shall sign and abide by the terms of the “Acknowledgment of 

Confidentiality and Agreement to Be Bound by Protective Order,” attached hereto as Exhibit A-1. 

The mock juror to whom the material is disclosed shall not give, show, or otherwise divulge any

of the information contained therein to any entity or person except as specifically provided for by 

this Stipulation and Protective Order. 

(ii) The Parties agree that this Protective Order does not address the 

disclosure to mock jurors of materials prepared by the Receiving Party’s outside counsel that are 

derived from information or items designated “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ 

EYES ONLY.” To the extent the Receiving Party determines that disclosure to mock jurors of 

materials prepared by its outside counsel that are derived from information or items designated 

“HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” becomes necessary, such Party 

shall promptly provide notice to the opposing Party. Within fourteen (14) days of such notice, the 

Parties shall meet and confer regarding the negotiation of a protective order governing the 

disclosure of materials that are derived from information or items designated “HIGHLY 

CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” to mock jurors. If the Parties are unable to 

reach agreement as to an acceptable protective order, the Parties shall submit their dispute to the 

Court, in compliance with Court rules and standing orders. 

(c) Procedure for Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY 

CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” Information or Items to Experts: 

(i) Before any “CONFIDENTIAL” OR “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIALATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” information, or substance or summary thereof, shall be disclosed 

to an Expert, the Expert shall sign and abide by the terms of the “Expert/Consultant 

Acknowledgment of Confidentiality and Agreement to Be Bound by Protective Order,” attached 

as Exhibit A-2, confirming that he or she is not presently employed by, and within the one year 

prior to the date of retention as an Expert in these proceedings has not been employed by, has not 

provided any form of consulting services to, and has not been and does not anticipate becoming 

an officer or director or otherwise be involved with decision-making for, any companies or 

entities engaged in the manufacture, sale, or distribution of products that compete with Apple’s 

iPhone, iPad, iPod, and Mac products. During the pendency of and for a period of two (2) years 

after the final resolution of this action, including all appeals, the Party seeking to disclose

Protected Material shall immediately (upon learning of same) provide written notice of any 

change with respect to the Expert’s involvement in the areas at issue with respect to accepting 

employment or consulting work for a company manufacturing , selling, or distributing products 

that compete with Apple’s iPhone, iPad, iPod, and Mac products. 

(ii) Within fourteen (14) days of receipt of the written notice of the 

change with respect to the Expert’s involvement in the areas at issue (e.g., she or he is 

contemplating accepting employment or consulting for any companies or entities engaged in the 

manufacture, sale, or distribution of products that compete with Apple’s iPhone, iPad, iPod, and 

Mac products) referenced in subparagraph (i) of Paragraph 10(c), the Producing Party or Parties 

may object in writing to the Expert for good cause. In the absence of an objection at the end of 

the fourteen (14) day period, the Expert shall be deemed permitted to continue as expert and 

approved under this Protective Order. There shall be no further disclosure of Protected Material 

to the Expert prior to expiration of this fourteen (14) day period. If the Producing Party objects to 

disclosure to the Expert within such fourteen (14) day period, the Parties shall meet and confer 

via telephone or in person within seven (7) days following the objection and attempt in good faith 

to resolve the dispute on an informal basis. If the dispute is not resolved, the Party objecting to 

the continuation of the Expert in this case, will have seven (7) days from the date of the meet and 

confer to seek relief from the Court barring the Expert from further work and from access to the 

Highly Confidential documents. If relief is not sought from the Court within that time, the 

objection shall be deemed withdrawn. If relief is sought, designated materials shall not be 

disclosed to the Expert in question until the Court resolves the objection. 

(iii) For purposes of this section, “good cause” shall include an 

objectively reasonable concern that the Expert will, advertently or inadvertently, use or disclose 

Discovery Materials in a way or ways that are inconsistent with the provisions contained in this 

Order. 

(iv) An initial failure to object to an Expert under this Paragraph 10 

shall not preclude the non-objecting Party from later objecting to continued access by that Expert

for good cause. If an objection is made, the Parties shall meet and confer via telephone or in 

person within seven (7) days following the objection and attempt in good faith to resolve the 

dispute informally. If the dispute is not resolved, the Party objecting to the disclosure will have 

seven (7) days from the date of the meet and confer to seek relief from the Court. The designated 

Expert may continue to have access to information that was provided to such Expert prior to the 

date of the objection. If a later objection is made, no further Protected Material shall be disclosed 

to the Expert until the Court resolves the matter or the Producing Party withdraws its objection. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Producing Party fails to move for a protective order within 

seven (7) business days after the meet and confer, further Protected Material may thereafter be 

provided to the Expert. 

(d) The Party’s Counsel who discloses “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY 

CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” Material shall be responsible for assuring 

compliance with the terms of this Stipulation and Protective Order with respect to persons to 

whom such Protected Material is disclosed and shall obtain and retain the originals of the 

“Acknowledgment of Confidentiality and Agreement to Be Bound by Protective Order” and 

“Expert/Consultant Acknowledgment of Confidentiality and Agreement to Be Bound by 

Protective Order” (if such execution was required by terms of this Stipulation and Protective 

Order). 

11. CHALLENGING DESIGNATIONS OF PROTECTED MATERIAL 

(a) Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a designation of confidentiality at 

any time. Unless a prompt challenge to a Designating Party’s confidentiality designation is 

necessary to avoid foreseeable, substantial unfairness, unnecessary economic burdens, or a 

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. 

(b) The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute resolution process by 

providing written notice of each designation it is challenging and describing the basis for each

challenge. To avoid ambiguity as to whether a challenge has been made, the written notice must 

recite that the challenge to confidentiality is being made in accordance with this specific 

paragraph of the Protective Order. The parties shall attempt to resolve each challenge in good 

faith and must begin the process by conferring directly (in voice to voice dialogue; other forms of 

communication are not sufficient) within 14 days of the date of service of notice. 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 or establishes that the 

Designating Party is unwilling to participate in the meet and confer process in a timely manner. 

(c) If the Parties cannot resolve a challenge without court intervention, the 

Designating Party shall file and serve a motion to retain confidentiality under Civil Local Rule 7 

(and in compliance with Civil Local Rule 79-5, if applicable) within 21 days of the initial notice 

of challenge or within 14 days of the parties agreeing that the meet and confer process will not 

resolve their dispute, whichever is later. Each party reserves the right, in the event that the other 

party makes multiple challenges, to seek relief from the Court to shift the burden to file a motion 

challenging the designation to the Challenging Party. The parties agree to meet and confer before 

seeking such relief. If the burden to file a motion shifts, the burden of persuasion will remain on 

the Designating Party. 

Each such motion must be accompanied by a competent declaration affirming that the 

movant has complied with the meet and confer requirements imposed in the preceding paragraph. 

Failure by the Designating Party to make such a motion including the required declaration within 

21 days (or 14 days, if applicable) shall automatically waive the confidentiality designation for 

each challenged designation. In addition, the Challenging Party may file a motion challenging a 

confidentiality designation at any time if there is good cause for doing so, including a challenge to 

the designation of a deposition transcript or any portions thereof. Any motion brought pursuant

to this provision must be accompanied by a competent declaration affirming that the movant has 

complied with the meet and confer requirements imposed by the preceding paragraph. 

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

Party. Frivolous challenges and those made for an improper purpose (e.g., to harass or impose 

unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the Challenging Party to 

sanctions. Unless the Designating Party has waived the confidentiality designation by failing to 

file a motion to retain confidentiality as described above, all parties shall continue to afford the 

material in question the level of protection to which it is entitled under the Designating Party’s 

designation until the court rules on the challenge 

12. SUBPOENAS OR COURT ORDERS 

(a) If at any time Protected Material is subpoenaed by any court, arbitral, 

administrative, or legislative body, the Party to whom the subpoena or other request is directed 

shall immediately give prompt written notice thereof to every Party who has produced such 

Discovery Material and to its counsel and shall provide each such Party with an opportunity to 

move for a protective order regarding the production of Protected Materials implicated by the 

subpoena.

13. FILING PROTECTED MATERIAL 

(a) Without written permission from the Designating Party or a court order 

secured after appropriate notice to all interested persons, a Receiving Party may not file or 

disclose 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. Protected Material may 

only be filed under seal pursuant to a court order authorizing the sealing of the specific Protected 

Material at issue. Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 79-5, a sealing order will issue only upon a 

request establishing that the Protected Material at issue is privileged, protectable as a trade secret, 

or otherwise entitled to protection under the law. If a Receiving Party’s request to file Protected 

Material under seal pursuant to Civil Local Rule 79-5(e) is denied by the court, then the

Receiving Party may file the Protected Material in the public record pursuant to Civil Local Rule 

79-5(e)(2) unless otherwise instructed by the court. 

14. INADVERTENT DISCLOSURE OF PRIVILEGED MATERIAL 

(a) The inadvertent production by a Party of Discovery Material subject to the 

attorney-client privilege, work-product protection, or any other applicable privilege or protection, 

despite the Producing Party’s reasonable efforts to prescreen such Discovery Material prior to 

production, will not waive the applicable privilege and/or protection if a request for return of such 

inadvertently produced Discovery Material is made promptly after the Producing Party learns of 

its inadvertent production. 

(b) Upon a request from any Producing Party who has inadvertently produced 

Discovery Material that it believes is privileged and/or protected, each Receiving Party shall 

immediately return such Protected Material or Discovery Material and all copies to the Producing 

Party, except for any pages containing privileged markings by the Receiving Party which shall 

instead be destroyed and certified as such by the Receiving Party to the Producing Party. 

(c) Nothing herein shall prevent the Receiving Party from preparing a record 

for its own use containing the date, author, addresses, and topic of the inadvertently produced 

Discovery Material and such other information as is reasonably necessary to identify the 

Discovery Material and describe its nature to the Court in any motion to compel production of the 

Discovery Material. 

15. INADVERTENT FAILURE TO DESIGNATE PROPERLY 

(a) The inadvertent failure by a Producing Party to designate Discovery 

Material as Protected Material with one of the designations provided for under this Order shall 

not waive any such designation provided that the Producing Party notifies all Receiving Parties 

that such Discovery Material is protected under one of the categories of this Order within fourteen 

(14) days of the Producing Party learning of the inadvertent failure to designate. The Producing 

Party shall reproduce the Protected Material with the correct confidentiality designation within 

seven (7) days upon its notification to the Receiving Parties. Upon receiving the Protected

Material with the correct confidentiality designation, the Receiving Parties shall return or securely 

destroy, at the Producing Party’s option, all Discovery Material that was not designated properly. 

(b) A Receiving Party shall not be in breach of this Order for any use of such 

Discovery Material before the Receiving Party receives such notice that such Discovery Material 

is protected under one of the categories of this Order, unless an objectively reasonable person 

would have realized that the Discovery Material should have been appropriately designated with a 

confidentiality designation under this Order. Once a Receiving Party has received notification of 

the correct confidentiality designation for the Protected Material with the correct confidentiality 

designation, the Receiving Party shall treat such Discovery Material (subject to the exception in 

Paragraph 15(c)) at the appropriately designated level pursuant to the terms of this Order. 

(c) Notwithstanding the above, a subsequent designation of 

“CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” shall 

apply on a going forward basis and shall not disqualify anyone who reviewed 

“CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” materials 

while the materials were not marked “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES 

ONLY” from engaging in the activities set forth in this Order. 

16. INADVERTENT DISCLOSURE NOT AUTHORIZED BY ORDER 

(a) In the event of a disclosure of any Discovery Material pursuant to this 

Order to any person or persons not authorized to receive such disclosure under this Protective 

Order, the Party responsible for having made such disclosure, and each Party with knowledge 

thereof, shall immediately notify counsel for the Producing Party and the Designating Party 

whose Discovery Material has been disclosed and provide to such counsel all known relevant 

information concerning the nature and circumstances of the disclosure. The responsible 

disclosing Party shall also promptly take all reasonable measures to retrieve the improperly 

disclosed Discovery Material and to ensure that no further or greater unauthorized disclosure 

and/or use thereof is made

(b) Unauthorized or inadvertent disclosure does not change the status of 

Discovery Material or waive the right to hold the disclosed document or information as Protected. 

17. FINAL DISPOSITION 

(a) Not later than ninety (90) days after the final disposition of this case, as 

defined in Paragraph 5 above, each Party shall return all Discovery Material of a Producing Party 

to the respective outside counsel of the Producing Party or destroy such Material, at the option of 

the Producing Party. 

(b) All Parties that have received any such Discovery Material shall certify in 

writing that all such materials have been returned to the respective outside counsel of the 

Producing Party or destroyed. Notwithstanding the provisions for return of Discovery Material, 

outside counsel may retain one set of pleadings, correspondence, and attorney and consultant 

work product (but not document productions) for archival purposes. 

18. MISCELLANEOUS 

(a) Right to Further Relief. Nothing in this Order abridges the right of any 

person to seek its modification by the Court in the future. By stipulating to this Order, the Parties 

do not waive the right to argue that certain material may require additional or different 

confidentiality protections than those set forth herein. 

(b) Termination of Matter and Retention of Jurisdiction. The Parties agree that 

the terms of this Protective Order shall survive and remain in effect after the Final Disposition of 

the above-captioned matter. The Court shall retain jurisdiction after Final Disposition of this 

matter to hear and resolve any disputes arising out of this Protective Order. 

(c) Successors. This Order shall be binding upon the Parties hereto, their 

attorneys, and their successors, executors, personal representatives, administrators, heirs, legal 

representatives, assigns, subsidiaries, divisions, employees, agents, retained consultants and 

experts, and any persons or organizations over which they have direct control. 

(d) Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of this 

Protective Order, no Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to disclosing or

producing any information or item. Similarly, no Party waives any right to object on any ground 

to use in evidence of any of the material covered by this Protective Order. This Order shall not 

constitute a waiver of the right of any Party to claim in this action or otherwise that any 

Discovery Material, or any portion thereof, is privileged or otherwise non-discoverable, or is not 

admissible in evidence in this action or any other proceeding. 

(e) Burdens of Proof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, 

nothing in this Protective Order shall be construed to change the burdens of proof or legal 

standards applicable in disputes regarding whether particular Discovery Material is confidential, 

which level of confidentiality is appropriate, whether disclosure should be restricted, and if so, 

what restrictions should apply. 

(f) Modification by Court. This Order is subject to further court order based 

upon public policy or other considerations, and the Court may modify this Order sua sponte in the 

interests of justice. The United States District Court for the Northern District of California is 

responsible for the interpretation and enforcement of this Order. All disputes concerning 

Protected Material, however designated, produced under the protection of this Order shall be 

resolved by the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. 

(g) Discovery Rules Remain Unchanged. Nothing herein shall alter or change 

in any way the discovery provisions of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the Local Rules for 

the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, or the Court’s own orders. 

Identification of any individual pursuant to this Protective Order does not make that individual 

available for deposition or any other form of discovery outside of the restrictions and procedures 

of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the Local Rules for the United States District Court for 

the Northern District of California, or the Court’s own orders.
