inspection, subpoena, or subpoena duces tecum, which any party or other person claims 

to constitute its trade secret or other confidential research, development, commercial, 

financial, or personal information, the following procedures shall be employed and the 

following restrictions shall govern: 

1. Designation of “CONFIDENTIAL” Materials. Any party to or third party 

witness in this action (hereinafter the “designating party”) shall have the right to 

designate as “CONFIDENTIAL” any information or thing it believes in good faith 

embodies confidential research, development, commercial, financial, or personnel 

information. 

2. Restriction on Disclosure of Designated Materials. No information 

designated “CONFIDENTIAL” and no information derived therefrom shall be disclosed 

to any person or entity except as set forth in this Order. Except as provided in paragraph 5 

below, however, this Order shall not apply to disclosures of designated materials to the 

Court or its staff in connection with the Court’s administration and adjudication of this 

action. No person shall use any material designated “CONFIDENTIAL” or any 

information derived therefrom for any purpose other than to assist counsel of record in 

the preparation and trial of this action. No copies of designated materials shall be made 

except by or on behalf of counsel of record for named parties. All such copies shall be 

subject to the provisions of paragraph 14 hereof. 

3. Marking of Designated Materials. A designation as to documents shall be 

made by placing a legend on each page of any document, or on the first page of any 

multi-page document, a designating party wishes to protect against unauthorized 

disclosure or use. In the case or confidential materials designated in the 

“CONFIDENTIAL” category, the legend shall state: 

CONFIDENTIAL 

All documents to be so designated shall be marked prior to the provision of a 

physical copy thereof to the receiving party. The designation of any thing as to which 

inspection or sampling has been requested shall be made by placing a

“CONFIDENTIAL” legend in the form described above on the thing within which it is 

stored. 

4. Depositions. Portions of deposition transcripts may be designated either 

(a) during the deposition, in which case the transcript of the designated testimony shall be 

bound in a separate volume and marked “CONFIDENTIAL” by the reporter, as the 

designating party may direct, or (b) by written notice to the reporter and to all counsel of 

record, given within thirty (30) days after the reporter sends written notice to the 

deponent or his counsel that the transcript is available for review, in which case all 

counsel receiving such notice shall be responsible for marking the copies of the 

designated transcript in their possession or under their control as directed by the 

designating party. Pending the expiration of thirty (30) days after the deposition is 

received by the deponent or his counsel or by any party or its counsel, all parties shall 

treat the deposition transcript as if it has been designated as “CONFIDENTIAL”. The 

designating party shall have the right to have all persons, except the deponent and his 

counsel, counsel of record for named parties, the court reporter, and such other persons as 

are permitted under paragraphs 6 and 7 hereof, excluded from a deposition, or any 

portion thereof, before the taking therein of testimony which the designating party 

designates under this Order. 

5. Filing Designated Materials. All documents and other matter filed with 

the Court, including, inter alia transcripts of depositions, exhibits, physical evidence, 

answers to interrogatories or requests for admission, briefs, and memoranda, which 

comprise or contain designated material or information taken therefrom shall be filed or 

lodged with and kept by the clerk of the Court in sealed envelopes or other appropriately 

sealed containers on which shall be endorsed the caption of this action, an indication of 

the nature of the contents of the sealed envelope or container, the identity of the party 

filing the materials, the phrases “CONFIDENTIAL” and “SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE 

ORDER”, and a statement substantially in the following form:

This envelope (container) contains documents (things) subject to the 

Protective Order entered in this action. It is not to be opened nor the contents 

thereof displayed, revealed, or made public, except by written order of the Court. 

6. Access to “CONFIDENTIAL” Materials. Subject to paragraph 8, 

information designated as “CONFIDENTIAL” shall not be provided, shown, made 

available, or communicated in any way to any person or entity with the exception of 

outside counsel of record for each party in the United States, their partners (shareholders) 

and associates, their regularly employed office staffs, independent experts whom counsel 

of record have retained to provide such counsel advice and consultation in connection 

with the preparation and trial of this action, and employees of each corporate party who 

are assisting counsel with this litigation. 

7. Disclosure to Authors and Previous Recipients. The designation of any 

document as “CONFIDENTIAL” shall not preclude any party from showing the 

document to any person who appears as the author or as an addressee on the face of the 

document, or who has been identified by the designating party as having been provided 

with the document or the information therein by the designating party. 

8. Procedure for Seeking Additional Disclosures. Prior to any disclosure of 

material designated “CONFIDENTIAL”, other than as provided in paragraphs 6 and 7 

above, counsel desiring to make such disclosure shall first provide fifteen (15) days prior 

written notice to counsel for the designating party of its intent to make such disclosure, 

stating therein the specific material to be disclosed and the name, address, and position of 

the person to whom such disclosure is to be made. If within said fifteen (15) days the 

designating party gives written notification of its objection to the disclosure to counsel 

desiring to make the disclosure, no disclosure shall be made except by order of the Court. 

9. Undertakings of Persons Receiving Designated Materials. In no event 

shall any material designated “CONFIDENTIAL” be disclosed to any independent 

experts until that person has executed a written undertaking in the form attached hereto as 

Exhibit A, acknowledging that he or she has read a copy of this Order and agrees to be 

bound thereby, or until that person has so acknowledged and agreed on the record of his

or her deposition. Counsel of record shall be responsible for maintaining a file of all such 

written undertakings executed by persons to whom counsel has disclosed material 

designated pursuant to this Order. 

10. Limitations Upon Scope of Order. Nothing contained in this Order shall 

affect the right of any party, or third party, to disclose or use for any purpose the 

documents or information produced and designated by it as “CONFIDENTIAL”. This 

Order shall not limit or affect the rights of any party to use or disclose any information or 

thing that has not been obtained through, or derived as a result of, discovery in this 

action. “CONFIDENTIAL” materials shall exclude any written communication which, 

on its face, indicates its authorized dissemination or publication by any party to a person 

not obligated to maintain the confidentiality of the communication. Except with respect 

to the disclosure of documents themselves, the restrictions set forth in this Order shall not 

apply to any information, including information contained in a document, which: 

a. At the time of the disclosure hereunder is available to the public; or 

b. After disclosure hereunder becomes available to the public through no act, 

or failure to act, by the receiving party; or 

c. The receiving party can show (i) as a matter of written record was already 

known to the receiving party; (ii) as a matter of written record was 

independently developed by the receiving party; or (iii) was received by 

the receiving party, after the time of disclosure hereunder, from a third 

party having the right to make such disclosure, it being understood that 

this clause (iii) applies only to the extent that the receiving party may have 

the right to use or disclose said information under any agreement with the 

third party. 

11. Purpose of Order. The designation by any party or third party witness of 

any document, thing, or information as “CONFIDENTIAL” pursuant to this Order is 

intended solely to facilitate the preparation and trial of this case. Treatment by opposing 

counsel in conformity with the indicated designation shall not be construed in any way as 

an admission or agreement by any party that the designated disclosure constitutes or 

contains any trade secret or confidential information of any other party or witness in 

contemplation of law.

12. Procedure for Modification of Order/Objection to Designation. No party 

to this action shall be obligated to challenge the propriety of any designation by any other 

party or witness, and a failure to do so shall not constitute a waiver or in any way 

preclude a subsequent challenge in this or any other action to the propriety of such 

designations. Any party objecting to the designation of any information as 

“CONFIDENTIAL” must give counsel for the designating party written notice of its 

reasons for the objection and attempt to resolve their differences. Failing resolution, the 

party objecting may seek an order changing or removing the designation. 

13. Return of Designated Materials. Upon final adjudication of the claims at 

issue herein, or upon such earlier order as the Court may enter pursuant to duly noticed 

motion and hearing, the Clerk of the Court shall return to each designating party all 

exhibits and deposition transcripts designated “CONFIDENTIAL” that have been filed 

with the Court by each party. 

14. Disposition of Designated Materials at End of Case. Within thirty (30) 

days of the final adjudication of the claims at issue herein, each party shall either (1) 

assemble and return all designated material, including all copies thereof, to the party or 

third party witness from whom the designated material was obtained, or (2) certify in 

writing that all such material has been destroyed. The producing party shall acknowledge 

receipt of such material in writing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, counsel of record 

shall be permitted to retain a file copy of materials made part of the record or which have 

been filed under seal with the Court. Such file copies must be maintained under the 

conditions of this Protective Order. 

15. The entry of this Protective Order is without prejudice to moving for a two 

tiered Protective Order having a “CONFIDENTIAL ATTORNEYS ONLY” designation 

for extremely sensitive information such as financial information not specifically directed 

to the accused products, identification of outside vendors for other than the accused 

products, sales information for products other than the accused products, and customer 

names.
