24/7 CUSTOMER, INC.,

Plaintiff,

v.

LIVEPERSON, INC.,

Defendant.

Case No. 15-cv-02897-JST 

ORDER REGARDING PARTIES' 

PROPOSED STIPULATED 

PROTECTIVE ORDER

Re: ECF No. 49

On December 10, 2015, the parties submitted a stipulated protective order governing 

disclosure of confidential materials. The parties proposed a number of deviations from the Court’s 

Model Protective Order for Litigation Involving Patents, Highly Sensitive Confidential 

Information and/or Trade Secrets. The Court intends to adopt the proposed stipulated protective 

order after the following changes are made:

In Section 5.1 Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection, the 

parties shall reinsert the following paragraph: 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.

In Section 6.3 Judicial Intervention, the parties shall reinsert the following sentence: 

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.
