FOR LITIGATION INVOLVING 

PATENTS, HIGHLY SENSITIVE 

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION 

AND/OR TRADE SECRETS 

1. 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 may be warranted. 

Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to and petition the court to enter the following Stipulated 

Protective Order. The parties acknowledge that this Order does not confer blanket protections on 

all disclosures or responses to discovery and that the protection it affords from public disclosure

and use extends only to the limited information or items that are entitled to confidential treatment 

under the applicable legal principles. The parties further acknowledge, as set forth in Section 10, 

below, that this Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle them to file confidential information

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER 

5:09-CV-03689-JF-PVT 

The protections conferred by this Stipulation and Order cover not only Protected 

Material (as defined above), but also (1) any information copied or extracted from Protected 

Material; (2) all copies, excerpts, summaries, or compilations of Protected Material; and (3) any 

testimony, conversations, or presentations by Parties or their Counsel that might reveal Protected 

Material. However, the protections conferred by this Stipulation and Order do not cover the 

following information: (a) any information that is in the public domain at the time of disclosure to 

a Receiving Party or becomes part of the public domain after its disclosure to a Receiving Party 

as a result of publication not involving a violation of this Order, including becoming part of the 

public record through trial or otherwise; and (b) any information known to the Receiving Party 

prior to the disclosure or obtained by the Receiving Party after the disclosure from a source who 

obtained the information lawfully and under no obligation of confidentiality to the Designating 

Party. Any use of Protected Material at trial shall be governed by a separate agreement or order. 

4. DURATION

Even after final disposition 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. Final disposition shall be deemed to be the later of (1) 

dismissal of all claims and defenses in this action, with or without prejudice; and (2) final 

judgment herein after the completion and exhaustion of all appeals, rehearings, remands, trials, or 

reviews of this action, including the time limits for filing any motions or applications for 

extension of time pursuant to applicable law. 

5. DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL

5.1 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 

take care to limit any such designation to specific material that qualifies under the appropriate 

standards. To the extent it is practical to do so, the Designating Party must designate for 

protection only those parts of material, documents, items, or oral or written communications that 

qualify – so that other portions of the material, documents, items, or communications for which 

protection is not warranted are not swept unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order.

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER 

5:09-CV-03689-JF-PVT 

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 

expenses and burdens on other parties) expose the Designating Party to sanctions. 

If it comes to a Designating Party’s attention that information or items that it 

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

protection initially asserted, that Designating Party must promptly notify all other parties that it is 

withdrawing the mistaken designation. 

5.2 Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in this 

Order (see, e.g., second paragraph of section 5.2(a) below), or as otherwise stipulated or ordered, 

Disclosure or Discovery 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 (e.g., paper or electronic documents, 

but excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial proceedings), that the Producing 

Party affix the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ 

EYES ONLY” to each page that contains protected material. If only a portion or portions of the 

material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the 

protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins) and must specify, for 

each portion, the level of protection being asserted. 

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” or

5:09-CV-03689-JF-PVT 

“HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY”) to each page that contains 

Protected Material. If only a portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies for protection, 

the Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making 

appropriate markings in the margins) and must specify, for each portion, the level of protection 

being asserted. 

(b) for testimony given in deposition or in other pretrial or trial proceedings, 

that the Designating Party identify on the record, before the close of the deposition, hearing, or 

other proceeding, all protected testimony and specify the level of protection being asserted. 

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

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

Designating Party may invoke on the record (before the deposition, hearing, or other proceeding 

is concluded) a right to have up to 21 days to identify the specific portions of the testimony as to 

which protection is sought and to specify the level of protection being asserted. Only those 

portions of the testimony that are appropriately designated for protection within the 21 days shall 

be covered by the provisions of this Stipulated Protective Order. Alternatively, a Designating 

Party may specify, at the deposition or up to 21 days afterwards if that period is properly invoked, 

that the entire transcript shall be treated as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL 

– ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.” 

Parties shall give the other parties notice if they reasonably expect a deposition, 

hearing or other proceeding to include Protected Material so that the other parties can ensure that 

only authorized individuals who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be 

Bound” (Exhibit A) are present at those proceedings. The use of a document as an exhibit at a 

deposition shall not in any way affect its designation as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY 

CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.” 

Transcripts containing Protected Material shall have an obvious legend on the title 

page that the transcript contains Protected Material, and the title page shall be followed by a list 

of all pages (including line numbers as appropriate) that have been designated as Protected 

Material and the level of protection being asserted by the Designating Party. The Designating

Party shall inform the court reporter of these requirements. Any transcript that is prepared before 

the expiration of a 21-day period for designation shall be treated during that period as if it had 

been designated “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” in its entirety 

unless otherwise agreed. After the expiration of that period, the transcript shall be treated only as 

actually designated. 

(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” 

or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY”. If only a portion or portions 

of the information or item warrant protection, the Producing Party, to the extent practicable, shall 

identify the protected portion(s) and specify the level of protection being asserted. 

5.3 Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent 

failure to designate qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive the Designating 

Party’s right to secure protection under this Order for such material. Upon timely correction of a 

designation, the Receiving Party must make reasonable efforts to assure that the material is 

treated in accordance with the provisions of this Order. 

6. CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS

6.1 Timing of Challenges. Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a 

designation of confidentiality at any time. Unless a prompt challenge to a Designating Party’s 

confidentiality designation is necessary to avoid foreseeable, substantial unfairness, unnecessary 

economic burdens, or a 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. 

6.2 Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute 

resolution process by providing written notice of each designation it is challenging and describing 

the basis for each challenge. To avoid ambiguity as to whether a challenge has been made, the 

written notice must recite that the challenge to confidentiality is being made in accordance with 

this specific paragraph of the Protective Order. The parties shall attempt to resolve each

challenge in good faith and must begin the process by conferring directly (in voice to voice 

dialogue; other forms of communication are not sufficient) within 14 days of the date of service 

of notice. 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, to reconsider the circumstances, and, if no change in designation 

is offered, to explain the basis for the chosen designation. A Challenging Party may proceed to 

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

or establishes that the Designating Party is unwilling to participate in the meet and confer process 

in a timely manner. 

6.3 Judicial Intervention. If the Parties cannot resolve a challenge without 

court intervention, the Designating Party shall file and serve a motion to retain confidentiality 

under Civil Local Rule 7 (and in compliance with Civil Local Rule 79-5, if applicable) within 21 

days of the initial notice of challenge or within 14 days of the parties agreeing that the meet and 

confer process will not resolve their dispute, whichever is earlier. 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. Failure by the Designating Party to 

make such a motion including the required declaration within 21 days (or 14 days, if applicable) 

shall automatically waive the confidentiality designation for each challenged designation. In 

addition, the Challenging Party may file a motion challenging a confidentiality designation at any 

time if there is good cause for doing so, including a challenge to the designation of a deposition 

transcript or any portions thereof. Any motion brought pursuant to this provision must be 

accompanied by a competent declaration affirming that the movant has complied with the meet 

and confer requirements imposed by the preceding paragraph. 

The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on the 

Designating Party. Frivolous challenges and those made for an improper purpose (e.g., to harass 

or impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the Challenging Party 

to sanctions. Unless the Designating Party has waived the confidentiality designation by failing 

to file a motion to retain confidentiality as described above, all parties shall continue to afford the

designation until the court rules on the challenge. 

7. ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL

7.1 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 

section 15 below (FINAL DISPOSITION).

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: 

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

employees of said Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably necessary to disclose the 

information for this litigation and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be 

Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit A; 

(b) the officers, directors, and employees (including House Counsel) of the 

Receiving Party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this litigation and who have

7.4 Procedures for Approving or Objecting to Disclosure of “HIGHLY 

CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” or Experts.

(a)(1) [Removed] 

(a)(2) Unless otherwise ordered by the court or agreed to in writing by the 

Designating Party, a Party that seeks to disclose to an Expert (as defined in this Order) any 

information or item that has been designated “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ 

EYES ONLY” pursuant to paragraph 7.3(c) first must make a written request to the Designating 

Party that (1) identifies the general categories of “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ 

EYES ONLY” information that the Receiving Party seeks permission to disclose to the Expert, (2) 

sets forth the full name of the Expert and the city and state of his or her primary residence, (3) 

attaches a copy of the Expert’s current resume, (4) identifies the Expert’s current employer(s), (5) 

identifies each person or entity from whom the Expert has received compensation or funding for 

work in his or her areas of expertise or to whom the expert has provided professional services, 

including in connection with a litigation, at any time during the preceding five years,1

 and (6) 

identifies (by name and number of the case, filing date, and location of court) any litigation in 

connection with which the Expert has offered expert testimony, including through a declaration, 

report, or testimony at a deposition or trial, during the preceding five years. 

(b) A Party that makes a request and provides the information specified in the 

preceding respective paragraphs may disclose the subject Protected Material to the identified 

Expert unless, within 5 days of delivering the request, the Party receives a written objection from 

the Designating Party. Any such objection must set forth in detail the grounds on which it is 

based.

1

 If the Expert believes any of this information is subject to a confidentiality obligation to a thirdparty, then the Expert should provide whatever information the Expert believes can be disclosed 

without violating any confidentiality agreements, and the Party seeking to disclose to the Expert 

shall be available to meet and confer with the Designating Party regarding any such engagement.

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER 

5:09-CV-03689-JF-PVT 

(c) A Party that receives a timely written objection must meet and confer with 

the Designating Party (through direct voice to voice dialogue) to try to resolve the matter by 

agreement within seven days of the written objection. If no agreement is reached, the Party 

seeking to make the disclosure to the Expert may file a motion as provided in Civil Local Rule 7 

(and in compliance with Civil Local Rule 79-5, if applicable) seeking permission from the court 

to do so. Any such motion must describe the circumstances with specificity, set forth in detail the 

reasons why the disclosure to Designated House Counsel or the Expert is reasonably necessary, 

assess the risk of harm that the disclosure would entail, and suggest any additional means that 

could be used to reduce that risk. In addition, any such motion must be accompanied by a 

competent declaration describing the parties’ efforts to resolve the matter by agreement (i.e., the 

extent and the content of the meet and confer discussions) and setting forth the reasons advanced 

by the Designating Party for its refusal to approve the disclosure. 

In any such proceeding, the Party opposing disclosure to the Expert shall bear the 

burden of proving that the risk of harm that the disclosure would entail (under the safeguards 

proposed) outweighs the Receiving Party’s need to disclose the Protected Material to its Expert.

10. PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED IN 

OTHER LITIGATION

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

compels disclosure of any information or items designated in this action as “CONFIDENTIAL” 

or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” that Party must: 

(a) promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification shall 

include a copy of the subpoena or court order; 

(b) promptly notify 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 

subject to this Protective Order. Such notification shall include a copy of this Stipulated 

Protective Order; and

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER 

5:09-CV-03689-JF-PVT 

(c) cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be pursued by 

the Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected. 

If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served with the 

subpoena or court order shall not produce any information designated in this action as 

“CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” before a 

determination by the court from which the subpoena or order issued, unless the Party has obtained 

the Designating Party’s permission. The Designating Party shall bear the burden and expense of 

seeking protection in that court of its confidential material – and 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. 

11. A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE PRODUCED 

IN THIS LITIGATION

(a) The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by a NonParty in this action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – 

ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY”. Such information produced by Non-Parties in connection with 

this litigation is protected by the remedies and relief provided by this Order. Nothing in these 

provisions should be construed as prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking additional protections. 

(b) In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, to 

produce a Non-Party’s confidential information in its possession, and the Party is subject to an 

agreement with the Non-Party not to produce the Non-Party’s confidential information, then the 

Party shall: 

1. promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non-Party 

that some or all of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality agreement with a NonParty;

2. promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the Stipulated 

Protective Order in this litigation, the relevant discovery request(s), and a reasonably specific 

description of the information requested; and

3. make the information requested available for inspection by the 

Non-Party.

(c) If the Non-Party fails to object or seek a protective order from this court 

within 14 days of receiving the notice and accompanying information, the Receiving Party may 

produce the Non-Party’s confidential information responsive to the discovery request. If the 

Non-Party timely seeks a protective order, the Receiving Party shall not produce any information 

in its possession or control that is subject to the confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party 

before a determination by the court. Absent a court order to the contrary, the Non-Party shall 

bear the burden and expense of seeking protection in this court of its Protected Material. 

12. 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 Stipulated 

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 unauthorized 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 

“Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit A. 

13. INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE 

PROTECTED MATERIAL

When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain 

inadvertently produced material is subject to a claim of privilege or other protection, the 

obligations of the Receiving Parties are those set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 

26(b)(5)(B). This provision is not intended to modify whatever procedure may be established in 

an e-discovery order that provides for production without prior privilege review. Pursuant to 

Federal Rule of Evidence 502(d) and (e), insofar as the parties reach an agreement on the effect of 

disclosure of a communication or information covered by the attorney-client privilege or work 

product protection, the parties may incorporate their agreement in the stipulated protective order 

submitted to the court.

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER 

5:09-CV-03689-JF-PVT 

14. MISCELLANEOUS

14.1 Right to Further Relief. Nothing in this Order abridges the right of any 

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

14.2 Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of this 

Protective 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 Stipulated 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. 

14.3 [Removed] 

14.4 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 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. Protected 

Material may only be filed under seal pursuant to a court order authorizing the sealing of the 

specific Protected Material at issue. Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 79-5, a sealing order will issue 

only upon a request establishing that the Protected Material at issue is privileged, protectable as a 

trade secret, or otherwise entitled to protection under the law. If a Receiving Party’s request to 

file Protected Material under seal pursuant to Civil Local Rule 79-5(d) is denied by the court, then 

the Receiving Party may file the Protected Material in the public record pursuant to Civil Local 

Rule 79-5(e) unless otherwise instructed by the court. 

15. FINAL DISPOSITION

Within 60 days after the final disposition of this action, as defined in paragraph 4, 

each Receiving Party must return all Protected Material to the Producing Party or destroy such 

material. As used in this subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes all copies, abstracts, 

compilations, summaries, and any other format reproducing or capturing any of the Protected 

Material. Whether the Protected Material is returned or destroyed, 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 60 day deadline that (1) identifies (by category, where appropriate) all

retain an archival copy of all pleadings, motion papers, trial, deposition, and hearing transcripts, 

legal memoranda, correspondence, deposition and trial exhibits, expert reports, attorney work

Material. Any such archival copies that contain or constitute Protected Material remain subject to 

this Protective Order as set forth in Section 4 (DURATION).
