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

confidential information under seal; Civil Local Rule 79-5 sets forth the procedures that must be 

followed and the standards that will be applied when a party seeks permission from the court to 

file material under seal. 

2. DEFINITIONS 

2.1 Challenging Party: a Party or Non-Party that challenges the designation of 

information or items under this Order. 

2.2 “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items: information (regardless of how it is 

generated, stored or maintained) or tangible things that qualify for protection under Federal Rule 

of Civil Procedure 26(c). 

2.3 Counsel (without qualifier): Outside Counsel of Record and House Counsel (as 

well as their support staff). 

2.4 Designated House Counsel: House Counsel who seek access to “HIGHLY 

CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” information in this matter. 

2.5 Designating Party: a Party or Non-Party that designates information or items that 

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

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

SOURCE CODE”.

2.7 Expert: a person with specialized knowledge or experience in a matter pertinent 

to the litigation who (1) has been retained by a Party or its counsel to serve as an expert witness

competitor, and (3) at the time of retention, is not anticipated to become an employee of a Party 

or of a Party’s competitor. 

2.8 “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” Information or

Items: extremely sensitive “Confidential Information or Items,” disclosure of which to another 

Party or Non-Party would create a substantial risk of serious harm that could not be avoided by 

less restrictive means. 

2.9 “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – SOURCE CODE” Information or Items: 

extremely sensitive “Confidential Information or Items” representing computer code and 

associated comments and revision histories, formulas, engineering specifications, or schematics 

that define or otherwise describe in detail the algorithms or structure of software or hardware 

designs, disclosure of which to another Party or Non-Party would create a substantial risk of 

serious harm that could not be avoided by less restrictive means. 

2.10 House Counsel: attorneys who are employees of a party to this action. House 

Counsel does not include Outside Counsel of Record or any other outside counsel. 

2.11 Non-Party: any natural person, partnership, corporation, association, or other 

legal entity not named as a Party to this action.

action but are retained to represent or advise a party to this action and have appeared in this 

action on behalf of that party or are affiliated with a law firm which has appeared on behalf of 

that party.

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. 

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,” “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ 

EYES ONLY” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – SOURCE CODE” 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,” “HIGHLY 

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

SOURCE CODE) 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,” “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” “HIGHLY 

CONFIDENTIAL – SOURCE CODE”. 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 

material in question the level of protection to which it is entitled under the Producing Party’s 

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 

they shall comply with the discovery dispute procedure outlined in Judge DeMarchi's Standing Order for Civil Cases (and in compliance with Civ. L.R. 79-5, if applicable). parties to seek court seek relief with respect to In any discovery letter brief filed pursuant to this provision, the parties shall attest that they have

connection with a litigation, at any time during the preceding five years, and (5) 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. If the Expert believes any of 

the information referenced in clause (4) immediately above is subject to a confidentiality 

obligation to a third party, then it shall be so stated in the written request. In addition, the Expert 

shall provide to the Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of Record whatever information the 

Expert believes can be disclosed without violating any such confidentiality obligation, and the 

Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of Record seeking to disclose to the Expert shall meet and

seeking to make the disclosure to Designated House Counsel or 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

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 Designated House Counsel or 

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 Designated House Counsel or Expert. 

8. PROSECUTION BAR 

Absent written consent from the Producing Party, any individual who receives access to 

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

– SOURCE CODE” information shall not be involved in the prosecution of patents or patent 

applications relating to the manufacture of gallium arsenide thin-film solar cells before any 

foreign or domestic agency, including the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“the 

Patent Office”). 

For purposes of this paragraph, “prosecution” includes directly or indirectly drafting, 

amending, advising, or otherwise affecting the scope or maintenance of patent claims. To avoid 

any doubt, “prosecution” as used in this paragraph does not include representing a party 

challenging a patent before a domestic or foreign agency (including, but not limited to, a reissue 

protest, ex parte reexamination or inter partes reexamination). This Prosecution Bar shall begin 

when access to “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” or “HIGHLY 

CONFIDENTIAL – SOURCE CODE” information is first received by the affected individual 

and shall end two (2) years after final termination of this action. 

9. SOURCE CODE 

(a) To the extent production of source code becomes necessary in this case, a 

Producing Party may designate source code as “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL - SOURCE CODE” 

if it comprises or includes confidential, proprietary or trade secret source code. 

(b) Protected Material designated as “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL –

CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” information including the Prosecution Bar 

set forth in Paragraph 8, and may be disclosed only to the individuals to whom “HIGHLY 

CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” information may be disclosed, as set forth in 

Paragraphs 7.3 and 7.4, with the exception of Designated House Counsel.

(c) Any source code produced in discovery shall be made available for 

inspection, in a format allowing it to be reasonably reviewed and searched under conditions 

satisfactory to the Producing Party that assure the continued confidentiality of the source code, 

during normal business hours or at other mutually agreeable times, at an office of the Producing 

Party’s counsel or another mutually agreed upon location. The source code may, at the 

Producing Party’s discretion, be made available for inspection on a secured computer in a 

secured room without Internet access or network access to other computers, and the Receiving 

Party shall not copy, remove, or otherwise transfer any portion of such source code onto any 

recordable media or recordable device. The Producing Party may visually monitor the activities 

of the Receiving Party’s representatives during any source code review, but only to ensure that 

there is no unauthorized recording, copying, or transmission of the source code. The Producing 

Party may require the Receiving Party to keep a paper log indicating the names of any 

individuals inspecting source code (other than during deposition) and the dates and times of 

inspection, and the names of any individuals to whom paper copies of portions of source code 

are provided. 

(d) The Receiving Party may request paper copies of limited portions of 

source code that are reasonably necessary for the preparation of court filings, pleadings, expert 

reports, or other papers, or for deposition or trial, but shall not request paper copies for the 

purposes of reviewing the source code other than electronically as set forth in paragraph (c) in 

the first instance. The Producing Party shall provide all such source code in paper form including 

bates numbers and the label “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL - SOURCE CODE.” The Producing 

Party may challenge the amount of source code requested in hard copy form pursuant to the

(e) The Receiving Party shall maintain a record of any individual who has 

inspected any portion of the source code in electronic or paper form. The Receiving Party shall 

maintain all paper copies of any printed portions of the source code in a secured, locked area. 

The Receiving Party shall not create any electronic or other images of the paper copies and shall 

not convert any of the information contained in the paper copies into any electronic format. The 

Receiving Party shall only make additional paper copies if such additional copies are (1) 

necessary to prepare court filings, pleadings, or other papers (including a testifying expert’s 

expert report), (2) necessary for deposition, or (3) otherwise necessary for the preparation of its 

case. Any paper copies used during a deposition shall be retrieved by the Producing Party at the 

end of each day and must not be given to or left with a court reporter or any other unauthorized 

individual.

OTHER LITIGATION

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

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

– SOURCE CODE” 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 

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

“HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – SOURCE CODE” 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,” “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – 

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

Non-Party; 

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

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. This Stipulated Protective 

Order constitutes the Parties’ agreement on the effect of disclosure of a communication or 

information covered by the attorney-client privilege or work product protection, and, when

adopted by the Court, constitutes an Order pursuant to Federal Rules of Evidence 502(d) and (e). 

Inadvertent production of material subject to a claim of privilege or other protection will not 

constitute waiver absent a court determination that waiver of such privilege or other protection 

occurred. 

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. 

14.4 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(e) 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)(2) 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,

Designating Party) by the 60-day deadline that affirms that the Receiving Party has not retained 

any copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries or any other format reproducing or capturing any 

of the Protected Material. Notwithstanding this provision, Outside Counsel of Record are 

entitled to 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 product, and consultant and expert work product, even if such materials contain 

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

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