I. PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS 

Disclosure and discovery activity in this action are likely to involve production of 

confidential, proprietary or private information for which special protection from public disclosure 

and from use for any purpose other than prosecuting this litigation would be warranted. This 

[Proposed] Protective Order (“Protective Order” or “Order”) does not confer blanket protections on 

all disclosures or responses to discovery and the protection it affords extends only to the limited 

information or items that are entitled under the applicable legal principles to treatment as 

confidential. This Protective Order creates no entitlement to file confidential information under seal; 

Civil L.R. 79-5 sets forth the procedures that must be followed and reflects the standards that will be 

applied when a party seeks permission from the Court to file material under seal. 

II. DEFINITIONS 

1. Party: Any party to this action, including all of its officers, directors, employees, 

consultants, retained experts and outside counsel (and their support staff). 

2. Disclosure or Discovery Material: All items or information, regardless of the medium 

or manner generated, stored or maintained (including, among other things, testimony, transcripts or 

tangible things), that are produced or generated in disclosures or responses to discovery in this 

matter. 

3. “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items: Information (regardless of how generated, 

stored or maintained) or tangible things that qualify for protection under standards developed under 

Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(c). 

4. “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” Information or Items: 

Extremely sensitive “CONFIDENTIAL Information or Items” whose disclosure to another Party or 

non-party would create a substantial risk of serious injury that could not be avoided by less 

restrictive means. Only those items or information that derive independent economic value, actual 

or potential, from not being generally known to the public or to other persons who can obtain 

economic value from their disclosure or use shall be subject to “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – 

ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” protection.

Producing Party. 

6. Producing Party: A Party or non-party that produces Disclosure or Discovery Material 

in this action. 

7. Designating Party: A Party or non-party that designates information or items that it 

produces in disclosures or in responses to discovery as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY 

CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.” 

8. Protected Material: Any Disclosure or Discovery Material that is designated as 

“CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.” 

9. Outside Counsel: Attorneys who are not employees of a Party but who are retained to 

represent or advise a Party in this action. 

10. House Counsel: Attorneys who are employees of a Party. 

11. Competitor: With respect to defendants, “Competitor” means Motorola, Cisco 

Systems, C-Cor, Tandberg Television, Thomson Multimedia, Terayon, Big Band Networks, 

Seachange, Scopus, Aurora, Modulus, RGB, and EGT Inc. 

12. Counsel (without qualifier): Outside Counsel and House Counsel (as well as their 

support staffs). 

13. Expert: A person with specialized knowledge or experience in a matter pertinent to 

the litigation who has been retained by a Party or its counsel to serve as an expert witness or as a 

consultant in this action and who (a) is not a past or current employee of a Party or (b) a current 

employee of a Party’s Competitor and who (c) at the time of retention, is (i) not anticipated to 

become an employee of a Party or a Competitor of a Party and (ii) has not been an employee of a 

Party’s Competitor for at least 2.5 (two and one half) years. This definition includes a professional 

jury or trial consultant retained in connection with this litigation. 

14. Professional Vendors: Persons or entities that provide litigation support services (e.g., 

photocopying; videotaping; translating; preparing exhibits or demonstrations; organizing, storing, 

retrieving data in any form or medium; etc.) and their employees and subcontractors.

III. SCOPE 

The protections conferred by this Order cover not only Protected Material (as defined above) 

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

compilations thereof, plus testimony, conversations or presentations by parties or counsel to or in 

court or in other settings that might reveal Protected Material. 

Nothing herein shall impose any restrictions on a Designating Party from disclosing its own 

Protected Material as it deems appropriate. 

IV. DURATION 

Even after the termination of this litigation, the confidentiality obligations imposed by this 

Order shall remain in effect until a Designating Party agrees otherwise in writing or a court order 

otherwise directs. 

V. DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL 

1. Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection: Each Party or 

non-party that designates information or items for protection under this Order must do so in good 

faith and take care to limit any such designation to specific material that will cause the party 

prejudice or harm pursuant to Rule 26(c) and governing standards if not protected. 

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 expense or burden on 

other parties) expose the Designating Party to sanctions. 

If it comes to the attention of a Party or non-party that information or items it designated for 

protection do not qualify for protection at all or do not qualify for the level of protection initially 

asserted, that Party or non-party must promptly notify all other parties that it is withdrawing the 

mistaken designation. 

2. Manner and Timing of Designations: Except as otherwise provided in this Order (see, 

e.g., second paragraph of §V.2(a), below) or as otherwise stipulated or ordered, material that 

qualifies for protection under this Order must be clearly so designated before the material is 

disclosed or produced.

Designation in conformity with this Order requires: 

(a) For Information in Documentary Form (apart from transcripts of depositions 

or other pretrial or trial proceedings): That the Producing Party affix the legend “CONFIDENTIAL,” 

“CONFIDENTIAL – SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – 

ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” on each page that contains Protected Material. Within 30 days of 

receipt of Disclosure or Discovery Material, any Receiving Party may designate the material as 

“CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.” 

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. Then, before producing the specified documents, the 

Producing Party must affix the appropriate legend (“CONFIDENTIAL,” “CONFIDENTIAL – 

SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES 

ONLY”) on each page that contains Protected Material. In addition, within 30 days of receipt of 

Disclosure or Discovery Material, any Receiving Party may designate the material as 

“CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.” 

(b) For Testimony Given in Deposition or in Other Pretrial or Trial Proceedings: 

That any Party or non-party may identify on the record, before the close of the deposition, hearing or 

other proceeding, all protected testimony and further specify any portions of the testimony that 

qualify as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.” 

When it is impractical to identify separately each portion of testimony that is entitled to protection, 

and when it appears that substantial portions of the testimony may qualify for protection, any Party 

may invoke on the record (before the deposition or proceeding is concluded) a right to have up to 30 

days after receipt of the certified transcript to identify the specific portions of the testimony as to 

which protection is sought and to specify the level of protection being asserted (“CONFIDENTIAL”

or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY”). Only those portions of the 

testimony that are appropriately designated for protection within the 30 days shall be covered by the 

provisions of this Protective Order. 

Transcript pages containing Protected Material must be separately bound by the court 

reporter, who must affix to the top of each such page the legend “CONFIDENTIAL,” 

“CONFIDENTIAL – SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – 

ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.” 

(c) For Information Produced in Some Form Other than Documentary, and for 

Any Other Tangible Items: That the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on the exterior of the 

container or containers in which the information or item is stored the legend “CONFIDENTIAL,” 

“CONFIDENTIAL – SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – 

ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.” Within 30 days after receipt, any Receiving Party may designate the 

information or item as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ 

EYES ONLY.” 

3. Inadvertent Failures to Designate: If timely corrected, an inadvertent failure to 

designate qualified information or items as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – 

ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” does not, standing alone, waive any Party’s right to secure protection 

under this Order for such material. If material is appropriately designated as “CONFIDENTIAL” or 

“HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” after the material was initially 

produced, the Receiving Party, on timely notification of the designation, must make reasonable 

efforts to assure that the material is treated in accordance with the provisions of this Order. 

VI. CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS 

1. 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.

2. Meet and Confer: A Party that elects to initiate a challenge to a Designating Party’s 

confidentiality designation must do so in good faith and must begin the process by conferring 

directly (in voice-to-voice dialogue; other forms of communication are not sufficient) with counsel 

for the Designating Party. In conferring, the challenging Party must explain the basis for its belief 

that the confidentiality designation was not proper and must give the Designating Party an 

opportunity to review the designated material, reconsider the circumstances and, if no change in 

designation is offered, explain the basis for the chosen designation. A challenging Party may 

proceed to the next stage of the challenge process only if it has first engaged in this meet-and-confer 

process. 

3. Judicial Intervention: A Party that elects to press a challenge to a confidentiality 

designation after considering the justification offered by any Designating Party or non-party may file 

and serve a motion under Civil L.R. 7 (and in compliance with Civil L.R. 79-5, if applicable) that 

identifies the challenged material and sets forth in detail the basis for the challenge. Each such 

motion must be accompanied by a competent declaration affirming that the movant has complied 

with the meet-and-confer requirements imposed in the preceding paragraph and setting forth with 

specificity the justification for the confidentiality designation that was given by the Designating 

Party in the meet-and-confer dialogue. 

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 

protection to which it is entitled under the Designating Party’s designation. 

VII. ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL 

1. Basic Principles: A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is disclosed or 

produced by another Party or by a non-party in connection with this case only for prosecuting, 

defending or attempting to settle this litigation. Such Protected Material may be disclosed only to 

the categories of persons and under the conditions described in this Order. When the litigation has 

been terminated, a Receiving Party must comply with the provisions of §XI below (FINAL 

DISPOSITION).

Protected Material must be stored and maintained by a Receiving Party at a location and in a 

secure manner ensuring that access is limited to the persons authorized under this Order. 

2. Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items: Unless otherwise ordered by 

the Court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party, a Receiving Party may disclose any 

information or item designated “CONFIDENTIAL” only to:

support staff; 

(b) Any insurer or indemnitor of any defendant in this action;

reasonably necessary for this litigation; 

(f) During their depositions, witnesses in the action to whom disclosure is

(Exhibit A). Pages of transcribed deposition testimony or exhibits to depositions that reveal 

Protected Material must be separately bound by the court reporter and may not be disclosed to 

anyone except as permitted under this Protective Order; 

(g) Subject to all other terms of this Order, any person who authored or is listed as 

a recipient of the document, or the original source of the information;

CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” only to: 

(a) The Receiving Party’s Counsel of Record in this action, as well as employees 

of said Counsel to whom it is reasonably necessary to disclose the information for this litigation; 

(b) House Counsel of a Receiving Party to whom disclosure is reasonably 

necessary for this litigation and who has signed the “Agreement to Be Bound by Protective Order” 

(Exhibit A);

VIII. PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED 

IN OTHER LITIGATION 

If a Receiving Party is served with a subpoena or an order issued in other litigation that 

would compel disclosure of any information or items designated in this action as 

“CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,” the 

Receiving Party must so notify the Designating Party in writing (by fax or e-mail, if possible) 

immediately and in no event more than three Court days after receiving the subpoena or order. Such 

notification must include a copy of the subpoena or court order. 

The Receiving Party must also immediately inform in writing the party who caused the 

subpoena or order to issue in the other litigation that some or all of the material covered by the 

subpoena or order is the subject of this Protective Order. In addition, the Receiving Party must

deliver a copy of this Protective Order promptly to the party in the other action that caused the 

subpoena or order to issue. 

The purpose of imposing these duties is to alert the interested parties to the existence of this 

Protective Order and to afford the Designating Party in this case an opportunity to try to protect its 

confidentiality interests in the court from which the subpoena or order issued. The Designating 

Party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking protection in that court of its confidential 

material. Nothing in these provisions should be construed as authorizing or encouraging a Receiving 

Party in this action to disobey a lawful directive from another court. 

IX. UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL 

If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has disclosed Protected 

Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized under this Protective 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 Material; (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 “Agreement to Be Bound by Protective Order” 

(Exhibit A). 

X. FILING PROTECTED MATERIAL 

Without written permission from the Designating Party or a Court order secured after 

appropriate notice to all interested persons, a Party may not file any Protected Material in the public 

record in this action. A Party that seeks to file protected material must comply with Civil L.R. 79-5. 

XI. FINAL DISPOSITION 

Unless otherwise ordered or agreed in writing by the Producing Party, within 90 days after 

the final termination of this action, each Receiving Party must destroy all Protected Material or 

return it to the Producing Party. As used in this subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes all 

copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries or any other form of reproducing or capturing any of the 

Protected Material. Whether the Protected Material is returned or destroyed upon request by the 

Producing Party, the Receiving Party must submit a written certification to the Producing Party (and, 

if not the same person or entity, to the Designating Party) by the 90-day deadline that identifies (by

category, where appropriate) all Protected Material that was returned or destroyed and affirms that 

the Receiving Party has not retained any copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries or other forms of 

reproducing or capturing any of the Protected Material. 

Notwithstanding this provision, counsel are entitled to retain copies of all pleadings, motion 

papers, transcripts, legal memoranda, correspondence and attorney work product even if such 

materials contain Protected Material. Any such copies that contain or constitute Protected Material 

remain subject to this Protective Order as set forth in §IV (DURATION) above. 

XII. MISCELLANEOUS 

1. Right to Further Relief: Nothing in this Protective Order abridges the right of any 

person to seek its modification by the Court in the future. 

2. Right to Assert Other Objections: Nothing in this Protective Order abridges the right 

a Party would otherwise have to object to disclosing or producing any information or item on any 

ground not addressed in this Protective Order. Similarly, no Party waives any right to object on any 

ground to use in evidence of any of the material covered by this Protective Order.
