STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER 

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 would 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 extends only to the 

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

confidential. The parties further acknowledge, as set forth in Section 10, below, that this 

Stipulated Protective Order creates no entitlement to file confidential information under seal; Civil 

Local Rule 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. 

2. DEFINITIONS

2.1 Party: Any party to this action, including all of its officers, directors, 

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

2.2 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. 

2.3 “Confidential” Information or Items: Information (regardless of how 

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

developed under F.R.Civ.P. 26(c) and information described in Paragraph 5.1. 

2.4 “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 and information described in Paragraph 5.1.

2.5 Receiving Party: A Party that receives Disclosure or Discovery Material 

from a Producing Party. 

2.6 Producing Party: A Party or non-party that produces Disclosure or 

Discovery Material in this action. 

2.7 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.” 

2.8 Protected Material: Any Disclosure or Discovery Material that is 

designated as “Confidential” or as “Highly Confidential - Attorneys’ Eyes Only.”

retained to represent or advise a Party in this action. 

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

2.11 Counsel (without qualifier): Outside Counsel and House Counsel (as well 

as their support staffs). 

2.12 Expert: Person with specialized knowledge or experience in a matter 

pertinent to the litigation who has been retained by a Party or its in-house or Outside counsel to 

serve as an expert witness or as a consultant in this action and who is not a current employee of a 

Party or of a competitor of a Party’s and who, at the time of retention, is not anticipated to become 

an employee of a Party or a competitor of a Party’s. This definition includes a professional jury or 

trial consultant retained in connection with this litigation. 

2.13 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.

3. SCOPE

The protections conferred by this Stipulation and 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. 

4. 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. 

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.

A party or third party may designate as "Confidential" any material that the party 

reasonably believes to constitute or include proprietary business or financial information, personal 

information or information furnished to it in confidence by an third-party, which information is 

not known or freely accessible to the general public. Information or materials designated as 

"Confidential" may be disclosed to the parties for the purposes of the litigation, but must be 

protected against disclosure to third parties. Absent a specific order by this Court, once designated 

as "Confidential", such designated information shall be used solely in connection with this 

litigation, and not for any business, competitive, governmental, or other purpose or function, and 

such information shall not be disclosed to anyone except as provided herein. 

 A party or third party may designate as "Highly Confidential – Attorneys' Eyes 

Only" any material that the party reasonably and in good faith believes the disclosure of which 

would result in the disclosure of trade secrets or other highly sensitive research, development, 

production, personnel, commercial, or business information (including but not limited to 

proprietary information, contracts, bids, corporate planning documents, strategic planning 

documents, documents that reveal market or customer analyses, competitive strategy, research and 

development documents, financial statements, and other financial or budgetary documents). 

Information or materials designated as “Highly Confidential - Attorneys’ Eyes Only” shall be

those things of a proprietary business, financial, or technical nature that might be of value to a 

competitor or potential customer of the party or nonparty holding the proprietary rights thereto, 

and that must be protected from disclosure. Absent a specific order by this Court, once designated 

as “Highly Confidential - Attorneys’ Eyes Only,” such designated information shall be used solely 

in connection with this litigation, and not for any business, competitive, or governmental purpose 

or function, and such information shall not be disclosed to anyone except as provided herein.

 If it comes to a Party’s or a non-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 Party or non-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, 

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

material is disclosed or produced. 

 The designation of information or material as “Confidential” or “Highly 

Confidential - Attorneys’ Eyes Only” for purposes of this Protective Order shall be made in the 

following manner by the Party or nonparty seeking protection: 

(a) for information in documentary form (apart from transcripts of 

depositions or other pretrial or trial proceedings), by affixing the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” or 

“HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,” as appropriate, to at least the first 

page of any document containing any confidential information or material. 

 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 

“HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL - ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY”) on each page that contains 

Protected Material.

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

proceedings, (i) by a statement on the record, by counsel, during such deposition or other pretrial 

or trial proceeding that the entire transcript or a portion thereof shall be designated as 

“Confidential” or “Highly Confidential - Attorneys’ Eyes Only,” as appropriate, hereunder; or (ii) 

by written notice of such designation sent by counsel to all parties within fifteen (15) calendar 

days after the mailing (via overnight mail) to counsel of the transcript of the deposition. The 

parties shall treat all deposition and other pretrial and trial testimony as “Highly Confidential - 

Attorneys’ Eyes Only” hereunder until the expiration of fifteen (15) calendar days after the 

mailing (via overnight mail) to counsel of the transcript of the deposition. Unless so designated, 

any confidentiality is waived after the expiration of the 15-day period unless otherwise stipulated 

or ordered. The parties may modify this procedure for any particular deposition or proceeding 

through agreement on the record at such deposition or proceeding or otherwise by written 

stipulation, without further order of the Court. If any document or information designated as 

“Confidential” or “Highly Confidential - Attorneys’ Eyes Only” is used during the course of a 

deposition, that portion of the deposition record reflecting such confidential information shall be 

sealed and stamped with the designated degree of confidentiality, and access thereto shall be 

limited pursuant to the other terms of this Protective Order. 

(c) for information produced in some form other than documentary, and 

for any other tangible items, by affixing 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.” 

5.3 Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected upon discovery, an 

inadvertent failure to designate qualified information or items as “Confidential” or “Highly 

Confidential - Attorneys’ Eyes Only” does not, standing alone, waive the Designating 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. 

6. CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS

6.1 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. 

6.2 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, 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. 

6.3 Judicial Intervention. A Party that elects to press a challenge to a 

confidentiality designation after considering the justification offered by the Designating Party may 

file and serve a motion under Civil Local Rule 7 (and in compliance with Civil Local Rule 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 that affirms that 

the movant has complied with the meet and confer requirements imposed in the preceding 

paragraph and that sets 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 level of protection to which it is entitled under the Producing Party’s 

designation.

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 11, below (FINAL DISPOSITION). 

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

location and in a secure manner that ensures that access is limited to the persons authorized under 

this Order. 

7.2 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: 

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

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

information for this litigation and who have signed the “Agreement to Be Bound by Protective 

Order” that is attached hereto as Exhibit A; 

(b) the Receiving Party's in-house Counsel and one designated 

employee of the Receiving Party, who has been disclosed to the Producing Party, and to whom 

disclosure is reasonably necessary for this litigation and who have signed the “Agreement to Be 

Bound by Protective Order” (Exhibit A); 

(c) experts (as defined in this Order) of the Receiving Party to whom 

disclosure is reasonably necessary for this litigation and who have signed the “Agreement to Be 

Bound by Protective Order” (Exhibit A); 

(d) the Court and its personnel;

(e) court reporters, their staffs, and professional vendors to whom 

disclosure is reasonably necessary for this litigation; and 

(f) the author of the document or the original source of the information, 

or to the person to whom the document was originally addressed. 

7.3 Disclosure of “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL - ATTORNEYS’ EYES 

ONLY” 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 

“HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL - ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” only to: 

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

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

information for this litigation; 

(b) Experts (as defined in this Order) (1) to whom disclosure is 

reasonably necessary for this litigation, (2) who have signed the “Agreement to Be Bound by 

Protective Order” (Exhibit A), and (3) as to whom the procedures set forth in paragraph 7.4, 

below, have been followed; 

(c) the Court and its personnel; 

(d) court reporters, their staffs, and professional vendors to whom 

disclosure is reasonably necessary for this litigation; and 

(e) the author of the document or the original source of the information, 

or to the person to whom the document was originally addressed. 

7.4 Procedures for Approving Disclosure of “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL - 

ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” Information or Items to “Experts”. Unless otherwise ordered by 

the court or agreed 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” first must make a written request to the 

Designating Party that (1) attaches a signed copy of “Agreement to Be Bound by Protective 

Order” (Exhibit A), (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 for work in his or her areas of expertise or to whom the expert has provided 

professional services at any time during the preceding five years, 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 provided any professional services during the preceding five years. 

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

in the preceding paragraph may disclose the subject Protected Material to the identified Expert 

unless, within seven (7) business 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. 

(b) 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. 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 for which the disclosure 

to the Expert is reasonably necessary, assess the risk of harm that the disclosure would entail and 

suggest any additional means that might be used to reduce that risk. In addition, any such motion 

must be accompanied by a competent declaration in which the movant describes the parties’ 

efforts to resolve the matter by agreement (i.e., the extent and the content of the meet and confer 

discussions) and sets 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.

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER 

8. 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, 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 also must immediately inform in writing the Party who caused the 

subpoena or order to issue in the other litigation that some or all 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 Stipulated 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 burdens and the expenses 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. 

9. 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 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.

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER 

10. 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. 

11. FINAL DISPOSITION

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

after the final termination of this action, each Receiving Party must return all Protected Material 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. With permission in writing from the Designating Party, the Receiving Party 

may destroy some or all of the Protected Material instead of returning it. 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 sixty day 

deadline that identifies (by category, where appropriate) all the Protected Material that was 

returned or destroyed and that affirms that the Receiving Party has not retained any copies,
