CONFIDENTIAL DOCUMENTS AND INFORMATION 

 C-04-1787 

Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(c), it is hereby stipulated and 

agreed by and between the parties that the terms and conditions of this stipulated protective order 

shall govern the handling of documents, answers to interrogatories, depositions, pleadings, 

exhibits, and all other information exchanged between the parties in this action. The parties 

hereby submit the following stipulation and move the Court to approve the Stipulation as a 

Protective Order. 

STIPULATION

Subject to and without waiving any objections any party may have as to the 

discoverability of any information, and without waiving any objections or legal claims any party 

may have (including but not limited to any objections or legal claims arising out of the 

acquisition, retention, or other handling of documents containing confidential or proprietary 

information), and solely for the purpose of providing procedures for the handling and protection 

of "Confidential Information" or “Confidential Information – Attorneys’ Eyes Only” as defined 

herein, the parties to this action hereby agree on the following procedures for handling such 

Confidential Information. Certain documents, things and information disclosed may constitute or 

contain trade secrets, or other secret, proprietary, private, or confidential information. This 

information may include, but is not limited to, personnel data of persons not a named party to this 

action, Apple’s strategic planning and compensation information, Apple’s confidential and

herein, subject to the approval of the Court.

information for which the designation is proposed. In designating information as Confidential

which it believes contains secret, confidential, private, and/or proprietary information and must be 

protected against disclosure to non-parties. Each party shall exercise good faith in designating 

information as Confidential Information. 

2. “Confidential Information – Attorneys’ Eyes Only” as used herein, means

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

Eyes Only” by the supplying party, or (ii) which is designated by a receiving party as 

“Confidential – Attorneys’ Eyes Only” by stating in writing the specific pages of the information 

to be so designated, within twenty business days after receipt of the information for which the 

designation is proposed. In designating information as Confidential Information – Attorneys’ 

Eyes Only, the party so designating will make such designation only as to that information which 

it believes contains secret, confidential, private, and/or proprietary information of the most 

sensitive nature and must be protected against disclosure to anyone other those person designated 

in Section C(2), below. Each party shall exercise good faith in designating information as 

Confidential Information – Attorneys’ Eyes Only.

when an answer to an interrogatory or an answer to a request for admission is served, when a 

copy of a document is provided to the other party, and when an inspection of premises or tangible 

things is made. 

3. The identification of information as Confidential Information or 

Confidential Information – Attorneys’ Eyes Only by a receiving party shall be made in writing 

within twenty business days of such receipt by stating in writing which specific pages are to be 

marked Confidential Information or Confidential Information – Attorneys’ Eyes Only. No

Every party shall in such cases mark every page so identified in his or her possession, custody or 

control with an appropriate marking identifying the information as Confidential Information or

Confidential Information – Attorneys’ Eyes Only. No Confidential Information or Confidential 

Information – Attorneys’ Eyes Only may be read by anyone other than attorneys for the named 

parties, experts and consultants, and the deponent during said twenty business day period. Upon 

being informed that certain portions of a deposition disclose Confidential Information or 

Confidential Information – Attorneys’ Eyes Only, each party must cause each copy in their 

possession, custody or control to be so marked immediately. 

5. If any party believes that a document or other information, which has been 

designated as Confidential Information or Confidential Information – Attorneys’ Eyes Only, 

should not properly be treated so designated within this protective order, that party will notify the 

disclosing party of its disagreement with the confidential designation. Counsel for the parties will
