OHS West:260391894.1 STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER

PROTECTING DOCUMENTS OR INFORMATION

FROM DISCLOSURE 

Plaintiff and Defendant (collectively “Stipulating Parties”), through their 

respective counsel of record, stipulate as follows: 

1. That the preparation and trial of this action may require the discovery or 

disclosure of documents, information or other material claimed by one or more of the parties to 

this action or others to be confidential. 

2. In order to expedite the flow of discovery materials, facilitate the prompt 

resolution of disputes over confidentiality, adequately protect material entitled to be kept 

confidential, and serve the ends of justice, a protective order for such information is prudent and 

necessary. 

3. Any Stipulating Party may designate as “Confidential” any documents or 

other information that contains “Confidential Information,” as that term is defined in Paragraph 4 

below, that a Stipulating Party has kept secret or confidential and which, if disclosed, could place 

a Stipulating Party at a competitive disadvantage in the marketplace or cause disclosure of 

information protected by the right to privacy. Documents, depositions, and interrogatory 

responses or other papers shall be designated confidential by stamping the word “Confidential” 

on each page of the document containing confidential information or by a Stipulating Party 

advising the other Stipulating Party in writing that such documents are deemed to be confidential. 

4. “Confidential Information” includes documents or other information 

constituting trade secrets, proprietary or other confidential commercial information that belongs 

to Business Objects Americas (“Business Objects”) and which if disclosed could place Business 

Objects at a competitive disadvantage in the marketplace or cause disclosure of information 

protected by the right to privacy, including the following specific categories of documents: 

(1) documents that reveal confidential employee information such as name, address, telephone 

number, salary, or demographic or other personal information; (2) documents that reveal financial 

or personal information regarding Business Objects’ clients; (3) and documents that reveal 

confidential financial or commercial information regarding Business Objects’ business that is not 

available to the public or Business Objects’ competitors and which if disclosed could place 

Business Objects at a competitive disadvantage in the marketplace or cause disclosure of

information protected by the right to privacy. “Confidential Information” also includes 

documents or information protected by the right to privacy relating to Clement Kichuk or past and 

present employees of Business Objects, including private personnel or medical information. 

Execution of this protective order shall not waive any right otherwise available to the Stipulating 

Parties to object to the production of any such requested information on privacy, attorney-client 

privilege, attorney work product, relevancy or other grounds when the parties deem such an 

objection to be necessary or appropriate. 

5. Neither the provisions of this Stipulated Protective Order, nor any 

designation or failure to designate any particular information, document or material by a party as 

Confidential Information shall, in this litigation or any other litigation, constitute a waiver of the 

rights of a party to assert confidentiality with respect to any document, material or information 

meeting the definition of Confidential Information in Paragraph 1 above. Upon discovery of an 

inadvertent or otherwise non-designation, the discovering party will immediately notify the 

opposing party and the information, document or material identified will be henceforth treated as 

if it had been originally designated as Confidential Information and will be subject to the terms of 

this Stipulated Protective Order. 

6. All Confidential Information provided by the parties pursuant to discovery 

or otherwise obtained in the course of this litigation shall be treated as confidential and shall not 

be disseminated to any person not directly connected with this specific litigation. Specifically, all 

Confidential Information listed in Paragraph 4 that is obtained through discovery or otherwise 

from the parties in this case shall not be disclosed to anyone other than: 

 (a) retained and corporate attorneys for any Stipulating Party who are 

engaged in litigating this action and the employees of such attorneys; 

 (b) persons not employees of any Stipulating Party who serve as 

experts or consultants (“outside experts”) to assist such Stipulating Party’s counsel in the 

preparation of this action for trial, including, but not limited to auditors, accountants, statisticians, 

economists, medical and mental health experts, attorneys and other experts, and the employees of 

such persons;

 (c) a Stipulating Party, or principals, officers, employees, agents or 

representatives of any Stipulating Party whose assistance or consultation is required by counsel in 

connection with the prosecution or defense of this action; 

 (d) potential witnesses in connection with this litigation; 

 (e) any mediator hired by the parties to assist in resolving this case. 

7. No person shall make any disclosure of Confidential Information to any 

person falling within categories (b), (c) or (d) in Paragraph 6 without first obtaining from any 

such person a signed statement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “A.” Either party may 

request of the other a copy (if any) of said signed statement(s) to counsel. The other party must 

promptly comply with such a request by providing copies of the signed statement(s) by telecopier 

or other appropriate means, and in no event beyond five (5) business days of such a request. If a 

party objects to the disclosure of information to a particular person, the Stipulating Party 

objecting to such disclosure shall have five days to seek a protective order from the Court barring 

such disclosure and no such disclosure shall be made until further order of the Court. 

8. No disclosure of Confidential Information shall be made except in 

accordance with this Stipulation and Protective Order, and no use shall be made of any 

Confidential Information except in accordance with this Stipulation and Protective Order. 

9. This order shall in no way impair the right of any party to raise or assert a 

defense or objection, including but not limited to defenses or objections to the production of 

documents or information and to the use, relevancy or admissibility at the trial of this litigation of 

any evidence, whether or not comprised of documents or information governed by this order. 

 10. The parties agree to enter into this Stipulation pending an Order hereon by 

the Court and to abide by all terms of this Stipulation as to any Confidential Information 

produced prior to the Court entering its Order hereon, irrespective of whether the Court has 

issued, or ever issues, a signed Order 

 11. All attempts to use any Confidential Material in connection with any 

pleading, motion or as evidence shall be governed by the procedures set forth in Local Civil Rule 

79-5. The Court’s refusal to order certain documents sealed does not impact or abrogate any

party’s designation of those documents as Confidential Information. 

12. Nothing in this order shall preclude any party from using Confidential 

Information at the trial of this litigation; provided, however, that prior to using such material the 

party offering it advises the Court and all other parties so that steps can be taken to ensure the 

preservation of the confidential nature of the information to be used, if deemed necessary and 

appropriate by the Court. 

13. Should any Stipulating Party object to the Confidential treatment of any 

information designated Confidential under the terms hereof, such Stipulating Party shall, after 

meeting and conferring in good faith with the designating party, move the Court for an order 

releasing the material from the designation as Confidential. 

14. Nothing contained herein shall restrict in any way the rights of any 

Stipulating Party producing Confidential Information to release that information or otherwise 

make it non-Confidential. 

15. At the conclusion of the litigation, all Confidential Information designated 

in accordance with this Order shall be placed by counsel for the discovering party in a sealed 

envelope with the words to the effect “Confidential Pursuant to Protective Order” on the envelope 

and shall be kept safe, secure and confidential in accordance with the terms of this Order. Notes, 

summaries and other documents protected by the work product doctrine shall remain subject to 

this Stipulation and Protective Order. 

16. This Stipulation and Protective Order shall not limit the right of any party 

to apply for further protective orders as modifications or extensions of this order, and shall not 

restrict the use by any party of its own information.
