[PROPOSED] STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER -2- 

Case No. 05-4063 CW 

WHEREAS the parties desire to enter into an interim protective order governing 

the production and use of documents in this action until such time as the parties negotiate and/or 

the Court enters a final protective order; 

WHEREAS the parties enter into this interim protective order without waiving any 

rights with respect to their positions as to the ultimate form and content of any final protective 

order to be entered into the future; 

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED THAT: 

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. 

2.3 “Confidential” or “Highly Confidential—Attorneys’ Eyes Only”

Information or Items: information (regardless of how generated, stored or maintained) or tangible

things that qualify for protection under standards developed under Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(c). The 

following is not Confidential or Highly Confidential—Attorneys’ Eyes Only Information or 

Items, regardless of any designation to the contrary: (a) any information that at the time of 

disclosure to the receiving party is in the public domain; (b) any information that after disclosure 

to a receiving party becomes part of the public domain as a result of publication not involving a 

violation of this Order; (c) any information that a receiving party can show was received by it, 

whether before or after the disclosure, from a source who obtained the information lawfully and 

under no obligation of confidentiality to the producing party; or (d) any information that a 

receiving party can show was independently developed by it after the time of disclosure by 

personnel who have not had access to the producing party’s Confidential Information. If a Party 

believes any designated Confidential or Highly Confidential—Attorneys’ Eyes Only Information 

or Items contain information that said Party will treat as not confidential for the reasons listed in 

this paragraph, that Party shall notify all other parties to this action in writing, identifying the 

documents in question by production number (where applicable) and indicating the reason the 

designation is inapplicable to the information in question. 

2.4 “Highly Confidential Financial—Attorneys’ Eyes Only” Information or 

Items: extremely sensitive confidential business and financial information of a defendant, such as 

pricing, costs, profit margins, and business and/or financial plans, whose disclosure to another 

defendant or non-party would create a substantial risk of competitive injury that could not be 

avoided by less restrictive means. 

2.5 “Confidential—Export Controlled” Information or Items: 

“Confidential Information or Items” which the producing party in good faith reasonably believes 

contain Confidential Information or Items (a) pertaining to technology developed or work done 

for the U.S. Government pursuant to contract, and (b) which pursuant to contract or law may not 

be transported outside of the United States and/or disclosed to certain foreign persons. 

2.6 Receiving Party: a Party that receives Disclosure or Discovery Material 

from a Producing Party.

2.7 Producing Party: a Party or non-party that produces Disclosure or 

Discovery Material in this action. 

2.8 Designating Party: a Party or non-party that designates information or 

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

Confidential—Attorneys Eyes' Only," “Highly Confidential Financial—Attorneys’ Eyes Only,” 

or “Confidential—Export Controlled.” 

2.9 Protected Material: any Disclosure or Discovery Material that is 

designated as “Confidential,” "Highly Confidential—Attorneys Eyes' Only," “Highly 

Confidential Financial—Attorneys’ Eyes Only,” or “Confidential—Export Controlled.” 

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

retained to represent or advise a Party in this action and who agree not to substantively participate 

in patent prosecution in technologies relating to semiconductor packaging until one year after the 

termination of their involvement in this action, including appeals. Outside Counsel who are not 

of record in this action must sign the Acknowledgement and Agreement to Be Bound (Exhibit A) 

before being granted access to Confidential Information or Items. 

2.11 House Counsel: attorneys who are employees of a Party, who are not 

involved in patent prosecution and do not actively manage patent prosecution relating to 

semiconductor packaging, and who have been designated to receive Protected Material in 

accordance with the terms of this Protective Order. 

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

as their support staffs). 

2.13 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. 

2.14 Professional Vendors: persons or entities that provide litigation support 

services (e.g., photocopying; videotaping; translating; organizing, storing, retrieving data in any 

form or medium; etc.) and their employees and subcontractors.

2.15 Graphics/Trial Consultants: graphics or design consultants retained by a 

Party or its Counsel for purposes of preparing demonstrative or other exhibits for deposition, trial, 

or other court proceedings in this action; or non-technical jury or trial consultants, including for 

mock juries, retained by a Party or its Counsel. 

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 their Counsel to or in court or in other settings that might reveal 

Protected Material. Nothing herein shall prevent Counsel from giving legal advice to their clients 

based on Protected Material, provided that the substance of such Protected Material is not 

disclosed to persons not authorized under this Order to receive 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.

[PROPOSED] STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER -6- 

Case No. 05-4063 CW 

If a Party or non-party determines 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,” "HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL—ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY," “HIGHLY 

CONFIDENTIAL FINANCIAL—ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,” or “CONFIDENTIAL—

EXPORT CONTROLLED” on each page that contains Protected Material. 

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. Unless otherwise stated by the Producing 

Party, during the inspection and before the designation, all of the material made available for 

inspection shall be deemed “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL FINANCIAL—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,” “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL—ATTORNEYS’ 

EYES ONLY,” “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL FINANCIAL—ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,” or 

“CONFIDENTIAL—EXPORT CONTROLLED”) on each page that contains Protected Material. 

(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

Case No. 05-4063 CW 

any portions of the testimony that qualify as “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL FINANCIAL—

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 from the date the transcript is received by that Party or non-party’s 

representative to identify the specific portions of the testimony as to which protection is sought 

and to specify the level of protection being asserted (“CONFIDENTIAL,” “HIGHLY 

CONFIDENTIAL—ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,” “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL 

FINANCIAL—ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,” or “CONFIDENTIAL—EXPORT 

CONTROLLED). 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,” 

“HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL—ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,” “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL 

FINANCIAL—ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,” or “CONFIDENTIAL—EXPORT 

CONTROLLED,” as instructed by the Party or non-party 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,” 

“HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL—ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,” “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL 

FINANCIAL—ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,” or “CONFIDENTIAL—EXPORT 

CONTROLLED.” 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,” “Highly Confidential—Attorneys’ Eyes Only,” Highly Confidential 

Financial—Attorneys’ Eyes Only,” or “Confidential—Export Controlled.”

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

failure to designate qualified information or items as “CONFIDENTIAL,” “HIGHLY 

CONFIDENTIAL—ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,” “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL 

FINANCIAL—ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” or “CONFIDENTIAL—EXPORT 

CONTROLLED” 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,” “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL—ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,” “HIGHLY 

CONFIDENTIAL FINANCIAL—ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” or “CONFIDENTIAL—

EXPORT CONTROLLED” 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 (in voice to voice dialogue; other forms of communication are not 

sufficient) with Outside 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. 

Nothing in this Order shall be construed as limiting a Designating Party’s use of its 

own Protected Material. 

7.2 Disclosure of “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL FINANCIAL—

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 FINANCIAL—ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” 

only to:

stipulated agreement in the prior action, must be treated in accordance with the confidentiality 

designations made by the party that originally produced or provided the materials. For example, 

if a document was produced by a subpoenaed party as “Outside Counsel’s Eyes Only” in a prior 

litigation, and that document is produced by a Party in this action that originally obtained the 

document pursuant to the subpoena in the prior action, it must be treated as “Outside Counsel’s 

Eyes Only” in this action. 

7.5 Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL—EXPORT CONTROLLED”

Information or Items. Subject to the other restrictions in this paragraph, and unless otherwise 

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

disclose any information or item designated as “Confidential—Export Controlled” only to 

persons authorized pursuant to Sections 7.2 and 7.3 of this Order to receive information or items 

designated as “Confidential,” “Highly Confidential—Attorneys’ Eyes Only,” or “Highly 

Confidential Financial—Attorneys’ Eyes Only.” Additionally, information designated as 

“CONFIDENTIAL—EXPORT CONTROLLED” may not be removed, accessed, taken or 

allowed to be taken outside the United States, via electronic means or otherwise, and may not be 

disclosed to: (i) any natural person who is not a lawful permanent resident of the United States, 

(ii) any entity that is not incorporated or organized to do business in the United States, (iii) any 

international organization, or (iv) any foreign government.

[PROPOSED] STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER -13- 

Case No. 05-4063 CW 

(a) Unless otherwise ordered by the court or agreed in writing by the 

Designating Party, a Party that seeks to disclose to an Expert (as defined in this Order) any 

information or item that has been designated “CONFIDENTIAL,” “HIGHLY 

CONFIDENTIAL—ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL 

FINANCIAL—ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” for the first time must first make a written request 

to the Designating Party that (1) sets forth the full name of the Expert and the city and state of his 

or her primary residence, (2) attaches a copy of the Expert’s current resume, (3) identifies the 

Expert’s current employer(s), (4) identifies each person or entity from whom the Expert has 

received compensation for work in his or her areas of expertise or to whom the Expert has 

provided professional services at any time during the preceding five years, and (5) identifies (by 

name and number of the case, filing date, and location of court) any litigation in connection with 

which the Expert has provided any professional services during the preceding five years. 

(b) A Party that makes a request and provides the information specified in the 

preceding paragraph may disclose Protected Material to the identified Expert unless, within seven 

court days of delivering the request, the Party receives a written objection from the Designating 

Party. Any such objection must set forth in detail the grounds on which it is based. 

(c) A Party that receives a timely written objection must meet and confer with 

the Designating Party (through direct voice to voice dialogue) to try to resolve the matter by 

agreement. If no agreement is reached, the Party seeking to make the disclosure to the Expert may 

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

applicable) seeking permission from the court to do so. Any such motion must describe the 

circumstances with specificity, set forth in detail the reasons for which the disclosure to the 

Expert is reasonably necessary, assess the risk of harm that the disclosure would entail and 

suggest any additional means that might be used to reduce that risk. In addition, any such motion 

must be accompanied by a competent declaration in which the movant describes the parties’ 

efforts to resolve the matter by agreement (i.e., the extent and the content of the meet and confer 

discussions) and sets forth the reasons advanced by the Designating Party for its refusal to 

approve the disclosure. Alternatively, the parties may raise with the appointed Magistrate Judge,

and the Magistrate Judge may approve and/or Order, an alternative or expedited procedure for 

resolving any disagreements regarding disclosure to Experts. 

In any such proceeding the Party opposing disclosure to the Expert shall bear the 

burden of proving that the risk of harm that the disclosure would entail (under the safeguards 

proposed) outweighs the Receiving Party’s need to disclose the Protected Material to its Expert. 

7.7 Procedures for Approving Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY 

CONFIDENTIAL—ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” Information or Items to House Counsel

(a) The parties designate as House Counsel the persons listed in Exhibit B 

hereto. 

(b) Unless otherwise ordered by the Court or agreed in writing by the 

Designating Party, a Party that seeks to designate new House Counsel, or replace its existing 

House Counsel with a new designee, must first make a written request to the Designating Party 

that (1) sets forth the full name of the House Counsel and the city and state of his or her primary 

residence, and (2) identifies the House Counsel’s current employer(s) and job title. 

(c) A Party that makes a request and provides the information specified in the 

preceding paragraph may disclose Protected Material to the identified House Counsel unless, 

within seven court days of delivering the request, the Party receives a written objection from the 

Designating Party. Any such objection must set forth in detail the grounds on which it is based. 

(d) A Party that receives a timely written objection must meet and confer with 

the Designating Party (through direct voice to voice dialogue) to try to resolve the matter by 

agreement. If no agreement is reached, the Party seeking to make the disclosure to the House 

Counsel may file a motion as provided in Civil Local Rule 7 (and in compliance with Civil Local 

Rule 79-5, if applicable) seeking permission from the court to do so. Any such motion must 

describe the circumstances with specificity, set forth in detail the reasons for which the disclosure 

to the House Counsel is reasonably necessary, assess the risk of harm that the disclosure would 

entail and suggest any additional means that might be used to reduce that risk. In addition, any 

such motion must be accompanied by a competent declaration in which the movant describes the 

parties’ efforts to resolve the matter by agreement (i.e., the extent and the content of the meet and

confer discussions) and sets forth the reasons advanced by the Designating Party for its refusal to 

approve the disclosure. Alternatively, the parties may raise with the appointed Magistrate Judge, 

and the Magistrate Judge may approve and/or Order, an alternative or expedited procedure for 

resolving any disagreements regarding disclosure to House Counsel. 

In any such proceeding the Party opposing disclosure to the House Counsel shall 

bear the burden of proving that the risk of harm that the disclosure would entail (under the 

safeguards proposed) outweighs the Receiving Party’s need to disclose the Protected Material to 

the proposed House Counsel. 

7.8 Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL,” “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL—

ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL FINANCIAL—ATTORNEYS’ 

EYES ONLY” Information Outside the United States

Counsel will not take, remove, or access (via electronic means or otherwise) 

“Confidential,” “Highly Confidential—Attorneys’ Eyes Only,” or “Highly Confidential 

Financial—Attorneys’ Eyes Only” material outside the United States. Furthermore, a Receiving 

Party’s House Counsel who are U.S. admitted attorneys—or if there is no House Counsel that has 

been designated under Section 7.7, above, Outside Counsel--shall assume responsibility for 

compliance with this protective order by the Receiving Party’s foreign attorneys who had access 

to “Confidential” or “Highly Confidential—Attorneys’ Eyes Only” material (“Foreign 

Attorneys”). Such House or Outside Counsel may be subject to sanctions for violation of the 

terms of the protective order by Foreign Attorneys. 

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,” “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL—ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,” “HIGHLY 

CONFIDENTIAL FINANCIAL—ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,” or “CONFIDENTIAL—

EXPORT CONTROLLED,” the Receiving Party must so notify the Designating Party, in writing 

(by fax and/or electronic mail, 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. Procedures governing the use at trial of Protected 

Information may, if necessary, be established by further Order of the Court.

11. FINAL DISPOSITION

Unless otherwise ordered or agreed in writing by the Producing Party, within sixty 

days after the final termination of this action, each Receiving Party must return or destroy 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. 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 sixty 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 other forms of reproducing or capturing any of the Protected Material. Notwithstanding this 

provision, Outside Counsel are entitled to retain an archival copy of all pleadings, motion papers, 

transcripts, legal memoranda, correspondence or attorney work product, even if such materials 

contain Protected Material. 

Any such archival copies that contain or constitute Protected Material remain 

subject to this Protective Order as set forth in Section 4 (DURATION), above. 

12. MISCELLANEOUS

12.1 Right to Further Relief. Nothing in this Order abridges the right of any 

person to seek its modification by the Court in the future. 

12.2 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 on any ground not addressed in this Stipulated Protective 

Order. 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.
