AMGEN INC., et al.,

Plaintiffs,

v.

SANDOZ INC., et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 14-cv-04741-RS (MEJ)

DISCOVERY ORDER

Re: Dkt. No. 48

On January 29, 2015, the parties filed a Joint Motion for Entry of Protective Order. Dkt. 

No. 48. Although the parties have come to agreement as to the majority of a protective order for 

this case, they request the Court’s assistance in resolving three provisions: (1) permission for 

house counsel to access highly confidential information; (2) prosecution bar; and (3) termination 

of prosecution and FDA bars. Upon review of the parties’ positions, the Court finds that Amgen 

has failed to show that deviation from the Model Protective Order for Patent Cases is warranted. 

Accordingly, the parties shall file a proposed protective order that follows the model order.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: February 5, 2015
