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 

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

confidential information under seal; Local Rule 141 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.

among other things, testimony, transcripts, and tangible things), that are produced or

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. 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.

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

designated for protection do not qualify for protection, 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” to each 

page that contains protected material. 

(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. 

(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.” 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).

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 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. 

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 13 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 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 signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (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 

“Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A);

(d) the court and its personnel;

(e) court reporters and their staff, professional jury or trial consultants, 

mock jurors, and Professional Vendors to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary 

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

Bound” (Exhibit A);

(f) during their depositions, witnesses in the action to whom 

disclosure is reasonably necessary and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and 

Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A), unless otherwise agreed by the Designating 

Party or ordered by the court. Pages of transcribed deposition testimony or exhibits to 

depositions that reveal Protected Material must be separately bound by the court 

reporter and may not be disclosed to anyone except as permitted under this Stipulated 

Protective Order.

(g) the author or recipient of a document containing the information or 

a custodian or other person who otherwise possessed or knew the information.

8. 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,” 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” 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.

9. 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 Non-Party in this action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL.” 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 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.

10. 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.

11. 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.

12. MISCELLANEOUS

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

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

12.2 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.

12.3 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 Local 

Rule 141. 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 Local 

Rule 141, 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. 

13. 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 the Protected Material 

that was returned or destroyed and (2) 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, Counsel 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).
