Having considered the related pleadings and the arguments of counsel for Tandberg

[PROPOSED] ORDER GRANTING IN PART CPI’S MOTION

TO COMPEL PRODUCTION OF SOURCE CODE

CASE NO. C 05-01940 MHP 2

c. the source code shall be in a file format that is readable and searchable 

on a standard Windows PC, and any software other than standard off-the-shelf PC 

applications that may be necessary to view the source code will be provided to 

CPI’s attorneys or Mr. Román upon request;

d. the source code on the compact disks may not be copied, electronically 

or otherwise, or in any other way transferred in whole or in part onto other 

electronic storage devices or electronic storage media except that Mr. Román may 

create one (1) hard-drive on a non-networked computer containing, in 

uncompressed format, all of the source code produced, which will be subject to all 

of the other provisions herein. If Mr. Román has been designated as a testifying 

expert by CPI, then within sixty (60) days of the conclusion of the litigation, the 

hard-drive containing Tandberg’s source code will, at Tandberg’s election, either 

be delivered to Tandberg or erased by performing a multi-pass, multi-pattern wipe 

of the hard-drive in accordance with the United States Department of Defense 

regulations for erasure of sensitive files from hard-drives. If Mr. Román has not 

been designated as a testifying expert by CPI, then within sixty (60) days of the 

conclusion of the litigation, the hard-drive containing Tandberg’s source code will 

be erased by performing a multi-pass, multi-pattern wipe of the hard-drive in 

accordance with the United States Department of Defense regulations for erasure of 

sensitive files from hard-drives and, at Tandberg’s election, the blank hard-drive, 

along with a declaration by Mr. Román describing the process of erasing the harddrive, will be delivered to Tandberg;

e. CPI’s attorneys or Mr. Román may make three (3) hard-copies of the 

source code to be employed for the purposes of creating exhibits to Mr. Román’s 

report, deposition exhibits, or exhibits submitted to the Court, with all materials 

submitted to the Court being lodged under seal pursuant to Section 6(d). However, 

if additional hardcopies of portions of the source code are necessary for the 

purposes of creating exhibits to Mr. Román’s report, deposition exhibits, or 

exhibits submitted to the Court, the parties will cooperate to seek appropriate 

amendment of this Order.

f. any additional copies of source code will be subject to all of the other 

provisions herein, and, at the conclusion of this litigation, must be destroyed or 

returned to Tandberg pursuant to Section 10;

g. additionally, for each hardcopy printout, CPI’s attorneys or Mr. Román 

will maintain an accurate log of creation, possession, and destruction, which shows 

the date on which any hardcopy printouts were created, which compact disk(s) such 

hardcopy printouts were created from, who had access to such hardcopy printouts, 

and the date on which such hardcopy printouts were destroyed together with the 

name of the party who caused their destruction; 

h. the source code on the compact disks and hardcopy printouts may only 

be viewed by CPI’s outside attorneys and Mr. Román;

i. the source code on the compact disks may only be viewed in electronic 

format on a non-networked, stand-alone computer;

j. for each copy of each compact disk, and for each hardcopy printout 

created, CPI’s attorneys or Mr. Román shall maintain an accurate log of possession, 

which shows the date on which any disks or printouts were “checked out” or 

“checked in” by any of CPI’s attorneys or Mr. Román, together with their name(s); 

and

[PROPOSED] ORDER GRANTING IN PART CPI’S MOTION

TO COMPEL PRODUCTION OF SOURCE CODE

CASE NO. C 05-01940 MHP 3

k. all compact disks and existing printouts, except those lodged with the 

Court, together with a copy of each log created, will be returned by CPI’s attorneys 

or Mr. Román to Tandberg within sixty (60) days of the conclusion of this litigation 

pursuant to Section 10. 

 IT IS HEREBY FURTHER ORDERED THAT Tandberg produce to CPI by April 

18, 2006 all Tandberg source code necessary to operate each of the accused products in a 

videoconference and the identity of all third parties who own source code and license it to 

Tandberg for use in the accused products, a description of the functionality provided by such 

source code, and the identity of each accused product that utilizes such licensed source code. 

IT IS HEREBY FURTHER ORDERED THAT within two business days of the 

entry of this order Tandberg will provide notice to all third parties from which it licenses source 

code informing them that the Court has ordered Tandberg to produce all source code necessary to 

operate each of the accused products in a videoconference and, thus, Tandberg will have to 

produce, under the protections of the protective order in this case as amended hereby, their source 

code licensed to Tandberg if CPI determines that such production is necessary for its analysis of 

the operation of the accused Tandberg products. The notice shall also inform the third party 

licensors that, if CPI requests the production of their source code, Tandberg will notify the third 

party licensors within two business days of such request that Tandberg will produce such source 

code within three weeks of CPI’s request unless the third party seeks a protective order prohibiting 

such production. Tandberg shall provide CPI copies of all correspondence with third party 

licensors regarding this matter. 

IT IS HEREBY FURTHER ORDERED THAT Tandberg will produce such third 

party source code within three weeks of CPI’s request for the production of such third party source 

code unless the third party seeks a protective order prohibiting such production. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
