STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

The parties by and through their counsel hereby stipulate to and petition the Court to enter 

the following Stipulated Protective Order (“Order”): 

1. This Order shall apply to all disclosures and discovery in this action, and to any 

information copied or extracted therefrom, as well as all copies, excerpts, summaries, 

compilations, testimony, conversations, or presentations by parties or counsel to or in court or in 

other settings that might reveal information protected under this Order. All information protected 

under this Order is termed “Protected Information.”

2. Any party or non-party may designate as “Confidential” or “Highly Confidential—

Attorneys’ Eyes Only” any Protected Information which the designating party or non-party 

considers in good faith to contain sensitive or confidential information according to the following 

definitions: 

(a) The term “CONFIDENTIAL” as used in this Order is to include all Protected 

Information that the designating party believes constitutes or discloses or relates to processes, 

operations, research, technical or developmental information, production, marketing, sales, 

financial, shipments or other proprietary data or information of commercial value.

(b) The term “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” as used in 

this Order is to include only Protected Information which the designating party believes 

constitutes or contains highly sensitive financial information, security measures, non-public 

technical information, ongoing research and development projects, or other information which 

will harm its competitive position if it becomes known to a party other than the disclosing party.

3. Any Protected Information in documentary form shall be designated by marking 

each relevant page with “Confidential” or “Highly Confidential—Attorneys’ Eyes Only” at the 

bottom of each designated page. 

4. Any party or non-party may designate information disclosed during a hearing or 

deposition or in other pretrial or trial proceedings as “Confidential” or “Highly Confidential --

Attorneys’ Eyes Only” by so indicating on the record at the hearing or deposition and requesting 

the preparation of a separate transcript of such material. Additionally, a party or non-party may 

designate in writing, within five (5) business days after receipt of the hearing or deposition

transcript for which the designation is proposed, that specific pages of the transcript and/or 

specific responses be treated as “Confidential” or “Highly Confidential -- Attorneys’ Eyes Only.” 

In the event of a post-deposition designation, the receiving party, upon receipt of the properly 

designated copy, shall make reasonable efforts to destroy all undesignated versions of the same 

documents and shall make reasonable efforts to assure that the material is treated in accordance 

with the provisions of this Order. No person or party shall incur any liability hereunder with 

respect to disclosure that occurred prior to the receipt of written post-deposition notice of 

designation.

Transcript pages containing material deemed Confidential or Highly Confidential –

Attorneys’ Eyes Only must be separately bound by the court reporter, who must affix to the top of 

each such page the appropriate marking, as instructed by the party or non-party offering or 

sponsoring the witness or presenting the testimony.

5. 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. During the inspection and before the 

designation, all of the material made available for inspection shall be deemed “Highly 

Confidential – 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. The producing party must then mark the 

documents with the appropriate confidentiality designations before producing them. 

6. Challenging Confidentiality Designations.

(a) 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.

(b) Judicial Intervention. A party that elects to press a challenge to a 

confidentiality designation may file and serve a motion under Civil Local Rule 7 (and in

sets forth in detail the basis for the challenge. 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. Any Protected Information and all information derived therefrom (excluding such 

information as is derived lawfully from an independent source or is publicly available) shall not 

be disclosed to anyone except as provided herein, shall be used only for the purposes of this 

litigation, and shall not be used for any business, financial or other purpose whatsoever. Nothing 

contained herein shall limit or prevent disclosure or use of any item of Protected Information by 

the party who designated the item protected.

8. Except with the prior consent of the designating party or non-party, or upon prior 

order of this Court obtained upon notice to the designating party or non-party, Protected 

Information designated as Confidential shall not be given, shown, made available or 

communicated in any way to any person or entity other than the following: 

(a) Counsel of record for the respective parties to this action;

(b) Members of the firm of counsel of record, partners, of counsel, associates, 

paralegals, clerks, secretaries, and other staff to whom it is reasonably necessary to disclose the 

information for this litigation;

(c) Individual parties, and officers or employees of a party, only to the extent 

necessary for the prosecution or defense of this litigation;

(d) Experts and consultants retained for the prosecution or defense of this 

litigation (“Consultant(s)”), provided that, prior to any disclosure of Protected Information, each 

such Consultant shall first execute a copy of the Undertaking appended to this Order as Exhibit A, 

that Undertaking shall be sent to the designating party along with a copy of the Consultant’s 

current curriculum vitae, and the designating party shall have five (5) business days from receipt

to object to disclosure pursuant to paragraph 16 herein;

staffs to whom it is reasonably necessary to disclose the information for this litigation.

Subject to the provisions of this paragraph, Protected Information 

designated as Highly Confidential - Attorney's Eyes Only shall not be disclosed to any party, 

officer, director or employee of any party, unless otherwise agreed in writing or ordered by the 

Court.

10. In the event that counsel for a party deems it necessary to disclose any Protected 

Information to any person not contemplated in the preceding paragraphs, said counsel shall notify 

counsel for the designating party in writing of the Protected Information sought to be disclosed, 

and shall attempt to reach agreement regarding such disclosure. If agreement cannot be reached, 

the party seeking to make the disclosure shall move the Court to rule as to whether such 

disclosure may be made and whether any restrictions or limitations should be placed on such 

disclosure. No disclosure shall be made until such motion is decided in favor of the movant.

11. Information may also be designated “Highly Confidential – Attorneys’ Eyes 

Only—Restricted.” Information so designated shall have all of the restrictions of information 

designated Highly Confidential – Attorneys’ Eyes Only, plus the additional restrictions set forth 

in this paragraph. Any members of the firm of counsel of record, as specified in 9(a) and (b), and 

any designated in-house legal representatives specified in paragraph 9(c), who actually receive or

application relating to any of the asserted patents, whether or not claiming priority from the 

asserted patents or any foreign counterpart thereof; or (ii) any potential application having claims 

materially related to the subject matter of the Protected Information designated as Highly 

Confidential – Attorneys’ Eyes Only--Restricted actually received or reviewed. 

The restrictions provided in this paragraph shall be applicable during the pendency of this 

action and for two years after the review of the information designated Highly Confidential –

Attorneys’ Eyes Only--Restricted. The restrictions in the paragraph shall not apply to any 

documents that were exchanged between the parties prior to March 1, 2006, or to information that 

contains no technical information, information related to ongoing research and development 

projects, or other scientific data or information.

12. Nothing in this order shall bar or otherwise restrict any attorney herein from 

rendering advice to his or her client with respect to this litigation and in the course thereof, 

referring to or relying upon his or her examination of Protected Information; provided, however, 

that in rendering such advice and in otherwise communicating with his or her clients, the attorney 

shall not disclose the content or the source of any Protected Information.

13. Any non-party may obtain the protections of this Order for documents it produces 

by designating any discovery in accordance with the provisions of this Order. Such designation 

shall confer upon the non-party all of the rights and obligations of the designating party as set 

forth herein. 

14. Furthermore, discovery in this proceeding of a non-party may involve receipt of 

information, documents, things or testimony that include or contain Protected Information of a 

party. All discovery of non-parties, therefore, shall be treated by the parties as if it had been 

designated “Highly Confidential—Attorneys’ Eyes Only” for a period of five (5) business days 

from the production of such information, documents or things or the transcript of such testimony. 

During such five (5) business day period, or longer time period to which the parties may agree, 

each party may designate some or all of the information, documents, things or testimony provided 

by the non-party as Protected Information.

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

15. An inadvertent failure to designate Protected Information “Confidential” or 

“Highly Confidential – Attorneys’ Eyes Only” shall not, by itself, be deemed a waiver of the 

designating party’s right to secure protection under this Order for such material, if the designation 

is corrected within five (5) business days after discovered. The designating party shall produce a 

properly designated copy of such qualified information within five (5) business days after 

discovering the inadvertent failure to designate. The receiving party, upon receipt of the properly 

designated copy, shall make reasonable efforts to destroy all undesignated versions of the same 

documents and shall make reasonable efforts to assure that the material is treated in accordance 

with the provisions of this Order. No person or party shall incur any liability hereunder with 

respect to disclosure that occurred prior to the receipt of written notice of designation.

16. If an opposing designating party objects to the submission of Protected 

Information to consultants identified in paragraph 8(d) or 9(d), it shall notify the proposing party 

of its objection and the grounds therefore in writing within five (5) business days of its receipt of 

the Undertaking and curriculum vitae. If no such objection is made in such time and manner, the 

proposing party may disclose Protected Information to such person subject to the provisions in

this Order. If an objection is properly made, the parties shall thereafter meet and confer in good 

faith in an attempt to resolve the objection. Should the parties be unable to resolve the dispute on 

an informal basis, the objecting party shall submit the matter on motion to the Court for ruling

within ten (10) calendar days of notification. In the event of such an objection, the proposing 

party shall withhold disclosure of Protected Information to the Consultants from the time of the 

objection until a ruling by the Court or agreement between the parties allows production. If the 

matter is not timely submitted to the court, the proposing party may disclose the Protected 

Information to the Consultant. No party shall use its right to object to a proposed Consultant to 

interfere with the ability of the other party to reasonably prepare for trial, and consent to the 

disclosure of information to proposed Consultants shall not unreasonably be withheld. 

17. The protection afforded by this Order shall in no way affect a party’s or nonparty’s right to withhold documents as privileged under the attorney-client or other privilege or as 

otherwise exempted from discovery under Rule 26. An inadvertent production of any document

that a producing party believes is immune from discovery pursuant to any attorney-client

privilege, attorney work product immunity or any other privilege or immunity from production, 

shall not be deemed a waiver, and the producing party may give written notice to all receiving 

parties that the document or information inadvertently produced is privileged. Upon receipt of 

such written notice, all receiving parties shall immediately return the original and all such copies 

to the producing party or certify in writing the names of the persons to whom the inadvertently 

produced document or information was distributed and that all originals and copies thereof have 

been destroyed. Return or destruction of such documents or information to the producing party 

shall not preclude any receiving party from later moving to compel production of the returned 

documents or information. No person or party shall incur any liability hereunder for any 

subsequent disclosure of inadvertently disclosed documents when the subsequent disclosure 

occurs before receipt of notice of the inadvertent disclosure.

18. If a receiving party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has disclosed 

Protected Information to any person or in any circumstance not authorized under this 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 Information, (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 Undertaking that is attached hereto as 

Exhibit A.

19. 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.

20. All provisions of this order restricting the communication or use of Protected 

Information shall continue to be binding after the conclusion of this action, unless otherwise 

agreed in writing by the parties or ordered by the Court. At the conclusion of the litigation, upon 

request of the party or non-party who provided the Protected Information, the party that received 

the Protected Information shall, at the option of the disclosing party either (a) return such

such information; or (b) destroy such documents no later than sixty (60) days after the request and 

certify in writing upon request of the opposing party within sixty (60) days of the request that the 

documents have been destroyed. 

Notwithstanding this provision, 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 Information. Any such archival copies that 

contain or constitute Protected Information remain subject to this Order. 

21. Miscellaneous.

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

person to seek its modification, or relief from its provisions, by the Court in the future or of the 

parties to provide by stipulation exceptions to this Order.

(b) Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of this 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 Order. Similarly, no party waives any 

right to object on any ground to use in evidence of any of the material covered by this Order.
