PROPOSED STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER AGAINST UNAUTHORIZED USE OR DISCLOSURE OF 

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION 

PROPOSED STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER AGAINST

UNAUTHORIZED USE OR DISCLOSURE OF

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

Upon motion of Plaintiffs, Honor Plastic Industrial Co., Ltd. (“Honor”) and P&P 

International, Inc. (“P&P”) (collectively “Plaintiffs”), and Defendant, Lollicup USA, Inc. 

(“Lollicup”), for a Protective Order pursuant to Rule 26(c) of the Federal Rules of Civil 

Procedure, 

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 

1. All “Confidential Information” (defined below) produced or exchanged by the 

parties or third parties in the course of this litigation shall be used solely for the purpose of 

preparation and trial of this litigation and for no other purpose whatsoever, and shall not be 

disclosed to any person except in accordance with the terms hereof. 

2. “Confidential Information,” as used herein, means any information of any type, 

kind or character that is designated as “Confidential” or “Attorney’s Eyes Only” (both defined 

below) by any designating party including third parties, whether it be a document, information 

contained in a document, information revealed during a deposition, information revealed in an 

interrogatory answer or otherwise. In designating information as “Confidential” or “Attorney’s 

Eyes Only,” a party will make such designation only as to that information that it in good faith 

believes contains information meeting the respective definitions. 

3. “Confidential” information shall not be disclosed or made available to anyone 

other than the receiving party and “Qualified Persons.” Information designated as “Attorney’s 

Eyes Only” may be disclosed only to those Qualified Persons described in Paragraphs 7(a), (b), 

(c), and (d) below. “Attorney’s Eyes Only” information shall not be disclosed or made available 

to the receiving party. 

4. Nothing shall be designated as “Confidential” information by a party except those 

materials believed in good faith to constitute, contain, embody, or reflect non-public, 

confidential, valuable information covered by a legitimate privacy right or interest.

PROPOSED STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER AGAINST UNAUTHORIZED USE OR DISCLOSURE OF 

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION 

5. Nothing shall be designated as “Attorney’s Eyes Only” information except 

commercial and financial information of the designating party, e.g., product sales, product 

volumes, pricing, revenues, profits, costs, margins, customer lists, and currently implemented or 

not yet implemented marketing plans and analyses; trade secrets; testing information (including 

testing of current commercial products); research and development information; and information 

of the most sensitive nature, which, if disclosed to persons of expertise in the area, would reveal 

significant technical or business advantages of the designating party. 

6. Nothing shall be regarded as “Confidential Information” if it is information that 

either: 

(a) is in the public domain at the time of disclosure, as evidenced by a written 

document; 

(b) becomes part of the public domain through no fault of the receiving party, as 

evidenced by a written document; 

(c) the receiving party can show by written document that the information was in its 

rightful and lawful possession at the time of disclosure; 

(d) the receiving party lawfully receives such information at a later date from a third 

party without restriction as to disclosure, provided such third party has the right to 

make the disclosure to the receiving party; or 

(e) the Court has determined that the designating party has waived its right to 

confidentiality of the information, regardless of any designation indicated on the 

information. 

7. “Qualified Persons,” as used herein, is specifically limited to: 

(a) Attorneys for the parties, and the respective partners, of counsel, associates, 

employees of such attorneys to whom it is necessary that the material be shown 

for purposes of this litigation, including outside vendors who specialize in the 

business of photocopying or similar clerical functions; 

(b) The Court, any court personnel involved with the case, and court reporters;

PROPOSED STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER AGAINST UNAUTHORIZED USE OR DISCLOSURE OF 

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION 

(c) Actual or potential experts or consultants for a party who have been designated in 

writing by notice to all counsel at least seven (7) business days prior to any 

disclosure of “Confidential Information” to such person, by providing a signed 

document in the form of Exhibit “A” attached hereto. During such seven (7) 

business day period, opposing party may object to disclosure of the “Confidential 

Information” to such person and such objection shall bar the disclosure of the 

designated material to that person until the parties agree otherwise or until the 

Court rules otherwise; 

(d) Any other person who has been designated as a Qualified Person by order of this 

Court, after written notice and hearing to all parties. 

8. Any party designating any person as a Qualified Person shall have the duty to 

reasonably ensure that such person observes the terms of this Order and shall be responsible, 

upon breach of such duty, for the failure of any such person to observe the terms of this Order. 

9. Documents produced in this action may be designated by any party or third party 

as “Confidential” or “Attorney’s Eyes Only” information by marking each page of the 

document(s) so designated with a stamp stating “Confidential” or “Attorney’s Eyes Only.” In 

lieu of marking the original of a document, if the original is not produced, the designating party 

may mark the copies that are produced or exchanged. 

10. Information disclosed at (a) the deposition of a party or one of its present or 

former officers, directors, employees, agents or independent experts retained by counsel for the 

purpose of this litigation, or (b) the deposition of a third party (which information pertains to a 

party or is confidential or trade secret information belonging to the third party) may be 

designated by any party or the third party temporarily as “Confidential” or “Attorney’s Eyes 

Only” information by indicating on the record at the deposition that certain testimony is 

“Confidential” or “Attorney’s Eyes Only” and is subject to the provisions of this Order. 

Any party or third party may permanently designate information disclosed at such 

deposition as “Confidential” or “Attorney’s Eyes Only” by notifying all of the parties in writing 

within seven (7) business days of receipt of the transcript, of the specific pages and lines of the

transcript which should be treated as “Confidential” or “Attorney’s Eyes Only” thereafter. Each 

party shall attach a copy of such written notice or notices to the face of the transcript and each 

copy thereof in his possession, custody or control. All deposition transcripts shall be treated 

temporarily as “Attorney’s Eyes Only” for a period of seven (7) business days after the receipt of 

the transcript. If no permanent, written confidentiality designation is made as described above, 

the deposition transcript will not be subject to the terms of this Order. 

To the extent possible, the court reporter shall segregate into separate transcripts 

information designated as “Confidential” or “Attorney’s Eyes Only,” with blank, consecutively 

numbered pages being provided in a non-designated main transcript. The separate transcript 

containing “Confidential” and/or “Attorney’s Eyes Only” information shall have page numbers 

that correspond to the blank pages in the main transcript. 

11. Documents to be inspected shall be treated as “Attorney’s Eyes Only” during 

inspection. At the time of copying for the receiving parties, such appropriate documents shall be 

stamped prominently “Confidential” or “Attorney’s Eyes Only” by the producing party. Nothing 

herein shall prevent disclosure beyond the terms of this Order if the party or third party 

designating the information as “Confidential Information” consents to such disclosure or, if the 

Court, after notice to all affected parties, orders such disclosures. Nor shall anything herein 

prevent any counsel of a party from utilizing “Confidential Information” in the examination or 

cross-examination of any person who is indicated on the document as being an author, source or 

recipient of the “Confidential Information” irrespective of which party or third party produced 

such information. 

“Confidential Information” contained in responses to interrogatories, other discovery 

requests or responses, affidavits, briefs, memoranda, or other papers, may be designated as 

Confidential Information by prominently marking each page containing Confidential Information as 

“Confidential” or “Attorney’s Eyes Only.” 

12. A party shall not be obligated to challenge the propriety of a designation as 

“Confidential” or “Attorney’s Eyes Only” at the time made, and a failure to do so shall not 

preclude a subsequent challenge thereto. In the event that any party to this litigation disagrees at

any stage of these proceedings with the designation by the designating party of any information 

as “Confidential” or “Attorney’s Eyes Only,” the parties shall first try to resolve such dispute in 

good faith on an informal basis, such as by production of redacted copies. If the dispute cannot 

be resolved, the objecting party may move the Court for an order reclassifying the designated 

status of such information. The designating party shall have the burden of establishing the 

propriety of the designation as “Confidential” or “Attorney’s Eyes Only” for such information. 

The parties may, by stipulation, provide for exceptions to this Order and any party may 

seek an order of this Court modifying this Order. 

13. In the event a party wishes to include any “Confidential Information” in any 

affidavits, briefs, memoranda of law, or other papers filed in Court in this litigation, the party 

shall comply with the procedures set forth in Local Rules 39-140 and 39-141. Specifically, 

pursuant to Local Rule 39-140(d) a party seeking to submit an unredacted document containing 

protected information for review by the Court must file a motion pursuant to Local Rule 39-141 

to file the document under seal. If the motion is granted, the party shall submit the unredacted 

paper document to the Clerk’s office for review by the Court. 

TThe Clerk of the Court is directed to maintain under seal and in camera all Confidential 

Information, documents, objects and other materials filed with the Court that have been designated 

as “CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION FILED UNDER SEAL PURSUANT TO PROTECTIVE 

ORDER.” To assist the Clerk, any document or object that a party wishes to have placed under seal 

pursuant to this Order shall be filed in the Clerk’s Office in a sealed envelope or other appropriate 

sealed container on which shall be endorsed the title and docket number of this action, an 

identification of the nature of the contents of the seal envelope or container, the words 

“CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION FILED UNDER SEAL PURSUANT TO PROTECTIVE 

ORDER” and a statement substantially in the following form: 

SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER ENTERED IN 

ACTION NO. 06-CV-707, and related cross actions, This 

envelope, containing documents that are filed in this case by 

[name of party], is not to be opened nor are the contents 

thereof to be displayed or revealed except by order or under 

the direction of the Court.

PROPOSED STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER AGAINST UNAUTHORIZED USE OR DISCLOSURE OF 

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION 

A second copy of any pleading or paper specifically intended for review by the Court may 

be delivered to the Court’s chambers appropriately marked, to assure that the same is brought 

promptly to the Court’s attention. The party shall also serve on the opposing party an identical 

unredacted version of the document. 

14. Pursuant to Local Rule 39-141(c), any document that has been authorized to be 

filed under seal should not be filed electronically. Instead, an electronically filed “Notice of 

Filing Sealed Document” shall be filed and designated as accompanying the motion, response or 

other related document. Within 24 hours, counsel must manually file and, if required or 

appropriate, serve the sealed document in paper format, paper copies of the Notice of Filing of 

Document Under Seal, and a paper copy of the Notice of Electronic Filing, along with a 

traditional certificate of service. 

15. No such sealed envelope shall be opened by anyone other than a Qualified Person 

without an order from the Court identifying by name the person or persons who may have access 

to the sealed material, and specifically designating which portions of the sealed file may be 

revealed to them. 

16. The inadvertent or unintentional disclosure of Confidential Information, regardless 

of whether the information was so designated at the time of disclosure, shall not be deemed a waiver 

in whole or in part of a party’s claim of confidentiality, either as to the specific information 

disclosed or as to any other information relating to the same or related subject matter. Such 

inadvertent or unintentional disclosure may be rectified by notifying in writing the counsel of record 

for all parties to whom the information was disclosed that the information is confidential. Such 

notification shall constitute a designation of the information as Confidential Information. 

17. In the event any request, subpoena, or other effort is made by a third party to obtain 

Confidential Information, other than those persons designated in paragraph 7 above, no such 

Confidential Information shall be provided absent an order of this Court and after due notice and an 

opportunity for all parties to be heard by the Court prior to release of any such Confidential 

Information.

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION 

18. Within one-hundred twenty (120) days after conclusion of this litigation and any 

appeal thereof, any document containing “Confidential Information” and all reproductions of 

such documents produced by a party, in the possession of any of the persons qualified under 

Paragraphs 7(a) through (d) shall either be returned to the producing party, or written 

confirmation of destruction shall be provided. 

19. Nothing in this Order shall be deemed to preclude any party from seeking and 

obtaining, on an appropriate showing, such additional protection with respect to the 

confidentiality of documents or other discovery material as that party may consider appropriate; 

nor shall any party be precluded from claiming that any matter designated hereunder is not 

entitled to protection or is entitled to a more limited form of protection than designated. 

GOOD CAUSE APPEARING, and based upon the Stipulation of counsel IT IS 

HEREBY ORDERED that the Court approves the above Stipulation for Protective Order 

subject to the following clarification, which supersedes any contradictory provision of the 

Stipulation. 

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that a party intending to file confidential information under seal 

with this Court shall comply with Local Rule 39-141 as to each such filing. 

In moving for leave to file documents under seal the filing party shall: 

 1) Request sealing only as to those documents or portions of the documents which 

are claimed to be confidential and entitled to protection; 

 2) Shall be required to show good cause exists for the sealing of the documents. A 

designation of Confidential pursuant to this Protective Order is insufficient to demonstrate good 

 cause to file under seal. 

SIGNED and ENTERED this 22nd day of May, 2007.
