UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ARTIFEX SOFTWARE, INC.,

Plaintiff,

v.

SIEMENS PRODUCT LIFECYCLE 

MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE INC.,

Defendant.

Case No. 19-cv-05764-PJH 

ORDER DIRECTING THE PARTIES 

TO REFILE AN AMENDED

PROTECTIVE ORDER

Re: Dkt. No. 26

The court is in receipt of the parties’ “Stipulated [Proposed] Interim Protective 

Order.” Dkt. 26. Sections 9(b)-(c) of the Northern District of California’s Model Protective 

Order for Standard Litigation (“Model Order”) allow a non-party certain protections

concerning its confidential and contractually-protected information that is in the 

possession of a party and subject to production in an action. The proposed order deletes 

those sections and, based on the court’s review, provides no substitute in their place.

The court DENIES the parties’ proposed order (Dkt. 26) and ORDERS that the 

parties refile a materially identical proposed order that reinserts materially similar 

language to Sections 9(b)-(c) of the Model Order. Except that addition, the parties shall 

not make any other changes to the proposed order. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
