[PROPOSED] STIPULATED 

PROTECTIVE ORDER REGARDING 

THE DISCLOSURE AND USE OF 

DISCOVERY MATERIALS

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER 

REGARDING THE DISCLOSURE AND USE OF DISCOVERY MATERIALS

Plaintiff Red Pine Point LLC (“Plaintiff”) and Defendants Apple Inc. and Magnolia 

Pictures, LLC (“Defendants”) anticipate that documents, testimony, or information containing 

or reflecting confidential, proprietary, trade secret, and/or commercially sensitive information 

are likely to be disclosed or produced during the course of discovery, initial disclosures, and 

supplemental disclosures in this case and request that the Court enter this Order setting forth the 

conditions for treating, obtaining, and using such information. 

Pursuant to Rule 26(c) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the Court finds good 

cause for the following Agreed Protective Order Regarding the Disclosure and Use of Discovery 

Materials (“Order” or “Protective Order”). 

1. PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS 

(a) Protected Material designated under the terms of this Protective Order shall be 

used by a Receiving Party solely for this case, and shall not be used directly or indirectly for any 

other purpose whatsoever. 

(b) To the extent that any one of Defendants in this litigation provides Protected 

Material under the terms of this Protective Order to Plaintiff, Plaintiff shall not share that 

material with the other Defendants in this litigation, absent express written permission from the

producing Defendant. This Order does not confer any right to any one Defendant to access the 

Protected Material of any other Defendant. 

(c) The Parties acknowledge that this Order does not confer blanket protections on 

all disclosures during discovery, or in the course of making initial or supplemental disclosures 

under Rule 26(a). Designations under this Order shall be made with care and shall not be made 

absent a good faith belief that the designated material satisfies the criteria set forth below. If it 

comes to a Producing Party’s attention that designated material does not qualify for protection at 

all, or does not qualify for the level of protection initially asserted, the Producing Party must 

promptly notify all other Parties that it is withdrawing or changing the designation. 

2. DEFINITIONS

Procedure 6. 

4. SCOPE

governed by this Order as addressed herein, 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 their counsel in court or in other settings that might 

reveal Protected Material. 

(b) Nothing in this Protective Order shall prevent or restrict a Producing Party’s own 

disclosure or use of its own Protected Material for any purpose, and nothing in this Order shall 

preclude any Producing Party from showing its Protected Material to an individual who 

prepared the Protected Material.

5. DURATION 

(a) Even after the termination of this case, the confidentiality obligations imposed by 

this Order shall remain in effect until a Producing Party agrees otherwise in writing or a court 

order otherwise directs. 

6. ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL 

(a) Basic Principles. All Protected Material shall be used solely for this case or any 

related appellate proceeding, and not for any other purpose whatsoever, including without 

limitation any other litigation, patent prosecution or acquisition, patent reexamination or reissue 

proceedings, or any business or competitive purpose or function. Protected Material shall not be 

distributed, disclosed or made available to anyone except as expressly provided in this Order. 

(b) Patent Prosecution Bar. Absent the written consent of the Producing Party, any 

person on behalf of the Plaintiff who receives one or more items designated “CONFIDENTIAL 

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

SOURCE CODE” by a Defendant shall not be involved, directly or indirectly, in any of the 

following activities: (i) advising on, consulting on, preparing, prosecuting, drafting, editing, 

and/or amending of patent applications, specifications, claims, and/or responses to office 

actions, or otherwise affecting the scope of claims in patents or patent applications relating to 

the functionality, operation, and design of the distribution of movies or other media (generally 

or as described in any patent in suit), before any foreign or domestic agency, including the 

United States Patent and Trademark Office; and (ii) the acquisition of patents (including patent 

applications), or the rights to any such patents or patent applications with the right to sublicense, 

relating to the functionality, operation, and design of the distribution of movies or other media. 

These prohibitions are not intended to and shall not preclude counsel from participating in 

proceedings on behalf of a Party challenging the validity of any patent, but are intended, inter 

alia, to preclude counsel from participating directly or indirectly in reexamination, inter partes 

review, covered business method review, or reissue proceedings on behalf of a patentee. These 

prohibitions shall begin when access to “CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” or 

“CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY – SOURCE CODE” materials are first

received by the affected individual, and shall end two (2) years after the final resolution of this 

action, including all appeals. 

(c) Secure Storage, No Export. Protected Material must be stored and maintained by 

a Receiving Party at a location in the United States and in a secure manner that ensures that 

access is limited to the persons authorized under this Order. To ensure compliance with 

applicable United States Export Administration Regulations, Protected Material may not be 

exported outside the United States or released to any foreign national (even if within the United 

States). 

(d) Legal Advice Based on Protected Material. Nothing in this Protective Order 

shall be construed to prevent counsel from advising their clients with respect to this case based 

in whole or in part upon Protected Materials, provided counsel does not disclose the Protected 

Material itself except as provided in this Order. 

(e) Limitations. Nothing in this Order shall restrict in any way a Producing Party’s 

use or disclosure of its own Protected Material. Nothing in this Order shall restrict in any way 

the use or disclosure of Discovery Material by a Receiving Party: (i) that is or has become 

publicly known through no fault of the Receiving Party; (ii) that is lawfully acquired by or 

known to the Receiving Party independent of the Producing Party; (iii) previously produced, 

disclosed and/or provided by the Producing Party to the Receiving Party or a non-party without 

an obligation of confidentiality and not by inadvertence or mistake; (iv) with the consent of the 

Producing Party; or (v) pursuant to order of the Court. 

7. DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL 

(a) Available Designations. Any Producing Party may designate Discovery Material 

with any of the following designations, provided that it meets the requirements for such 

designations as provided for herein: “CONFIDENTIAL,” “CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ 

EYES ONLY,” or “CONFIDENTIAL – OUTSIDE ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY – SOURCE 

CODE.” 

(b) Written Discovery and Documents and Tangible Things. Written discovery, 

documents (which include “electronically stored information,” as that phrase is used in Federal 

Case 3:14-cv-03493-RS Document 57 Filed 01/20/15 Page 5 of 29

Rule of Procedure 34), and tangible things that meet the requirements for the confidentiality 

designations listed in Paragraph 7(a) may be so designated by placing the appropriate 

designation on every page of the written material prior to production. For digital files being 

produced, the Producing Party may mark each viewable page or image with the appropriate 

designation, and mark the medium, container, and/or communication in which the digital files 

were contained. In the event that original documents are produced for inspection, the original 

documents shall be presumed “CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” during the 

inspection and re-designated, as appropriate during the copying process. 

(c) Native Files. Where electronic files and documents are produced in native 

electronic format, such electronic files and documents shall be designated for protection under 

this Order by appending to the file names or designators information indicating whether the file 

contains “CONFIDENTIAL,” “CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,” or 

“CONFIDENTIAL – OUTSIDE ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY – SOURCE CODE,” material, 

or shall use any other reasonable method for so designating Protected Materials produced in 

electronic format. When electronic files or documents are printed for use at deposition, in a 

court proceeding, or for provision in printed form to an expert or consultant pre-approved 

pursuant to Paragraph 8(b)(iii), the party printing the electronic files or documents shall affix a 

legend to the printed document corresponding to the designation of the Designating Party and 

including the production number and designation associated with the native file. No one shall 

seek to use in this litigation a .tiff, .pdf or other image format version of a document produced in 

native file format without first (1) providing a copy of the image format version to the 

Producing Party so that the Producing Party can review the image to ensure that no information 

has been altered, and (2) obtaining the consent of the Producing Party, which consent shall not 

be unreasonably withheld. 

(d) Depositions and Testimony. Parties or testifying persons or entities may 

designate depositions and other testimony with the appropriate designation by indicating on the 

record at the time the testimony is given or by sending written notice of how portions of the 

transcript of the testimony is designated within thirty (30) days of receipt of the transcript of the 

Case 3:14-cv-03493-RS Document 57 Filed 01/20/15 Page 6 of 29

testimony. If no indication on the record is made, all information disclosed during a deposition 

shall be deemed “CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” until the time within 

which it may be appropriately designated as provided for herein has passed. Any Party that 

wishes to disclose the transcript, or information contained therein, may provide written notice of 

its intent to treat the transcript as non-confidential, after which time, any Party that wants to 

maintain any portion of the transcript as confidential must designate the confidential portions 

within fourteen (14) days, or else the transcript may be treated as non-confidential. Any 

Protected Material that is used in the taking of a deposition shall remain subject to the 

provisions of this Protective Order, along with the transcript pages of the deposition testimony 

dealing with such Protected Material. In such cases the court reporter shall be informed of this 

Protective Order and shall be required to operate in a manner consistent with this Protective 

Order. In the event the deposition is videotaped, the original and all copies of the videotape 

shall be marked by the video technician to indicate that the contents of the videotape are subject 

to this Protective Order, substantially along the lines of “This videotape contains confidential 

testimony used in this case and is not to be viewed or the contents thereof to be displayed or 

revealed except pursuant to the terms of the operative Protective Order in this matter or pursuant 

to written stipulation of the parties.” Counsel for any Producing Party shall have the right to 

exclude from oral depositions, other than the deponent, deponent’s counsel, the reporter and 

videographer (if any), any person who is not authorized by this Protective Order to receive or 

access Protected Material based on the designation of such Protected Material. Such right of 

exclusion shall be applicable only during periods of examination or testimony regarding such 

Protected Material. 

8. DISCOVERY MATERIAL DESIGNATED AS “CONFIDENTIAL” 

(a) A Producing Party may designate Discovery Material as “CONFIDENTIAL” if it 

contains or reflects confidential, proprietary, and/or commercially sensitive information. 

(b) Unless otherwise ordered by the Court, Discovery Material designated as 

“CONFIDENTIAL” may be disclosed only to the following:

(a) A Producing Party may designate Discovery Material as “CONFIDENTIAL – 

ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” if it contains or reflects information that is extremely

competitive disadvantage to the Producing Party. The Parties agree that the following

EYES ONLY” designation: trade secrets, pricing information, financial data, sales information, 

sales or marketing forecasts or plans, business plans, sales or marketing strategy, product 

development information, engineering documents, testing documents, employee information, 

and other non-public information of similar competitive and business sensitivity.

Source Code is properly discoverable in this action, or to obligate any Party to produce any 

Source Code.

p.m. on business days (i.e., weekdays that are not Federal holidays), although the Parties will be 

reasonable in accommodating reasonable requests to conduct inspections at other times. 

(b) Prior to the first inspection of any requested Source Code, the Receiving Party 

shall provide thirty (30) days notice of the Source Code that it wishes to inspect. The Receiving 

Party shall provide fourteen (14) days notice prior to any additional inspections. 

(c) Source Code that is designated “CONFIDENTIAL – OUTSIDE ATTORNEYS’ 

EYES ONLY – SOURCE CODE” shall be produced for inspection and review subject to the 

following provisions, unless otherwise agreed by the Producing Party: 

(i) All Source Code shall be made available by the Producing Party to the 

Receiving Party’s outside counsel and/or experts in a secure room on a secured computer 

without Internet access or network access to other computers and on which all access ports have 

been disabled (except for one printer port), as necessary and appropriate to prevent and protect 

against any unauthorized copying, transmission, removal or other transfer of any Source Code 

outside or away from the computer on which the Source Code is provided for inspection (the 

“Source Code Computer” in the “Source Code Review Room”). The Producing Party shall 

install tools that are sufficient for viewing and searching the code produced, on the platform 

produced, if such tools exist and are presently used in the ordinary course of the Producing 

Party’s business. The Receiving Party’s outside counsel and/or experts may request that 

commercially available software tools for viewing and searching Source Code be installed on 

the secured computer, provided, however, that (a) the Receiving Party possesses an appropriate 

license to such software tools; (b) the Producing Party approves such software tools; and (c) 

such other software tools are reasonably necessary for the Receiving Party to perform its review 

of the Source Code consistent with all of the protections herein. The Receiving Party must 

provide the Producing Party with the CD or DVD containing such licensed software tool(s) at 

least twenty-one (21) days in advance of the date upon which the Receiving Party wishes to 

have the additional software tools available for use on the Source Code Computer.

(ii) No recordable media or recordable devices, including without limitation 

sound recorders, computers, cellular telephones, peripheral equipment, cameras, CDs, DVDs, or 

drives of any kind, shall be permitted into the Source Code Review Room. 

(iii) The Receiving Party’s outside counsel and/or experts shall be entitled to 

take notes relating to the Source Code but may not copy the Source Code into the notes and may 

not take such notes electronically on the Source Code Computer itself or any other computer. 

(iv) The Producing Party may visually monitor the activities of the Receiving 

Party’s representatives during any Source Code review, but only to ensure that no unauthorized 

electronic records of the Source Code and no information concerning the Source Code are being 

created or transmitted in any way. 

(v) No copies of all or any portion of the Source Code may leave the room in 

which the Source Code is inspected except as otherwise provided herein. Further, no other 

written or electronic record of the Source Code is permitted except as otherwise provided 

herein. The Producing Party shall make available a laser printer with commercially reasonable 

printing speeds for on-site printing during inspection of the Source Code. The Receiving Party 

may print limited portions of the Source Code only when necessary to prepare court filings or 

pleadings or other papers (including a testifying expert’s expert report). Any printed portion that 

consists of more than five (5) pages of a continuous block of Source Code shall be presumed to 

be excessive, and the burden shall be on the Receiving Party to demonstrate the need for such a 

printed copy. The Receiving Party may print out no more than 20 pages total. The Receiving 

Party shall not print Source Code in order to review blocks of Source Code elsewhere in the first 

instance, i.e., as an alternative to reviewing that Source Code electronically on the Source Code 

Computer, as the Parties acknowledge and agree that the purpose of the protections herein 

would be frustrated by printing portions of code for review and analysis elsewhere, and that 

printing is permitted only when necessary to prepare court filings or pleadings or other papers 

(including a testifying expert’s expert report). Upon printing any such portions of Source Code, 

the printed pages shall be collected by the Producing Party. The Producing Party shall Bates 

number, copy, and label “CONFIDENTIAL – OUTSIDE ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY –

SOURCE CODE” any pages printed by the Receiving Party. Within fourteen (14) days, the 

Producing Party shall either (i) provide one copy set of such pages to the Receiving Party or (ii) 

inform the Requesting Party that it objects that the printed portions are excessive and/or not 

done for a permitted purpose. If, after meeting and conferring, the Producing Party and the 

Receiving Party cannot resolve the objection, the Receiving Party shall be entitled to seek a 

Court resolution of whether the printed Source Code in question is narrowly tailored and was 

printed for a permitted purpose. The burden shall be on the Receiving Party to demonstrate that 

such printed portions are no more than is reasonably necessary for a permitted purpose and not 

merely printed for the purposes of review and analysis elsewhere. The printed pages shall 

constitute part of the Source Code produced by the Producing Party in this action. 

(vi) All persons who will review a Producing Party’s Source Code on behalf 

of a Receiving Party, including members of a Receiving Party’s outside law firm, shall be 

identified in writing to the Producing Party at least five (5) days in advance of the first time that 

such person reviews such Source Code. Such identification shall be in addition to any other 

disclosure required under this Order. All persons viewing Source Code shall sign on each day 

they view Source Code a log that will include the names of persons who enter the locked room 

to view the Source Code and when they enter and depart. The Producing Party shall be entitled 

to a copy of the log upon one (1) day’s advance notice to the Receiving Party. 

(vii) Unless otherwise agreed in advance by the Parties in writing, following 

each day on which inspection is done under this Order, the Receiving Party’s outside counsel 

and/or experts shall remove all notes, documents, and all other materials from the Source Code 

Review Room. The Producing Party shall not be responsible for any items left in the room 

following each inspection session, and the Receiving Party shall have no expectation of 

confidentiality for any items left in the room following each inspection session without a prior 

agreement to that effect. Proper identification of all authorized persons shall be provided prior 

to any access to the secure room or the computer containing Source Code. Proper identification 

requires showing, at a minimum, a photo identification card sanctioned by the government of 

any State of the United States, by the government of the United States, or by the nation state of

the authorized person’s current citizenship. Access to the secure room or the Source Code 

Computer may be denied, at the discretion of the supplier, to any individual who fails to provide 

proper identification. 

(viii) Other than as provided above, the Receiving Party will not copy, remove, 

or otherwise transfer any Source Code from the Source Code Computer including, without 

limitation, copying, removing, or transferring the Source Code onto any recordable media or 

recordable device. The Receiving Party will not transmit any Source Code in any way from the 

Producing Party’s facilities or the offices of its outside counsel of record. 

(ix) The Receiving Party’s outside counsel of record may make no more than 

three (3) additional paper copies of any portions of the Source Code received from a Producing 

Party pursuant to Paragraph 11(c)(v), not including copies attached to court filings or used at 

depositions, and shall maintain a log of all paper copies of the Source Code. The log shall 

include the names of the reviewers and/or recipients of paper copies and locations where the 

paper copies are stored. Upon one (1) day’s advance notice to the Receiving Party by the 

Producing Party, the Receiving Party shall provide a copy of this log to the Producing Party. 

(x) The Receiving Party’s outside counsel of record and any person receiving 

a copy of any Source Code shall maintain and store any paper copies of the Source Code at their 

offices in a manner that prevents duplication of or unauthorized access to the Source Code, 

including, without limitation, storing the Source Code in a locked room or cabinet at all times 

when it is not in use. No more than a total of ten (10) individuals identified by the receiving 

party shall have access to the printed portions of Apple Source Code (except insofar as such 

code appears in any court filing or expert report). 

(xi) For depositions, the Receiving Party shall not bring copies of any printed 

Source Code. Rather, at least ten (10) days before the date of the deposition, the Receiving 

Party shall notify the Producing Party about the specific portions of Source Code it wishes to 

use at the deposition, and the Producing Party shall bring printed copies of those portions to the 

deposition for use by the Receiving Party. Copies of Source Code that are marked as deposition 

exhibits shall not be provided to the Court Reporter or attached to deposition transcripts; rather,

the deposition record will identify the exhibit by its production numbers. All paper copies of 

Source Code brought to the deposition shall remain with the Producing Counsel’s outside 

counsel for secure destruction in a timely manner following the deposition. 

(xii) Except as provided in this sub-paragraph, absent express written 

permission from the Producing Party, the Receiving Party may not create electronic images, or 

any other images, or make electronic copies, of the Source Code from any paper copy of Source 

Code for use in any manner (including by way of example only, the Receiving Party may not 

scan the Source Code to a PDF or photograph the code). Images or copies of Source Code shall 

not be included in correspondence between the Parties (references to production numbers shall 

be used instead), and shall be omitted from pleadings and other papers whenever possible. If a 

Party reasonably believes that it needs to submit a portion of Source Code as part of a filing 

with the Court, the Parties shall meet and confer as to how to make such a filing while 

protecting the confidentiality of the Source Code and such Source Code will not be filed absent 

agreement from the Producing Party that the confidentiality protections will be adequate. If a 

Producing Party agrees to produce an electronic copy of all or any portion of its Source Code or 

provide written permission to the Receiving Party that an electronic or any other copy needs to 

be made for a Court filing, access to the Receiving Party’s submission, communication, and/or 

disclosure of electronic files or other materials containing any portion of Source Code (paper or 

electronic) shall at all times be limited solely to individuals who are expressly authorized to 

view Source Code under the provisions of this Order. Where the Producing Party has provided 

the express written permission required under this provision for a Receiving Party to create 

electronic copies of Source Code, the Receiving Party shall maintain a log of all such electronic 

copies of any portion of Source Code in its possession or in the possession of its retained 

consultants, including the names of the reviewers and/or recipients of any such electronic 

copies, and the locations and manner in which the electronic copies are stored. Additionally, 

any such electronic copies must be labeled “CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY 

– SOURCE CODE” as provided for in this Order.

12. NOTICE OF DISCLOSURE 

(a) Prior to disclosing any Protected Material to any person described in Paragraphs 

8(b)(ii), 8(b)(iii), 9(b)(ii), 9(b)(iii), or 10(c)(ii) (referenced below as “Person”), the Party seeking 

to disclose such information shall provide the Producing Party with written notice that includes: 

(i) the name of the Person; 

(ii) an up-to-date curriculum vitae of the Person; 

(iii) the present employer and title of the Person; 

(iv) an identification of all of the Person’s past and current employment and 

consulting relationships, including direct relationships and relationships through entities owned 

or controlled by the Person, including but not limited to an identification of any individual or 

entity with or for whom the person is employed or to whom the person provides consulting 

services relating to the design, development, operation, or patenting of the distribution of 

movies or other media, or relating to the acquisition of intellectual property assets relating to the 

distribution of movies or other media; 

(v) an identification of all pending patent applications on which the Person is 

named as an inventor, in which the Person has any ownership interest, or as to which the Person 

has had or anticipates in the future any involvement in advising on, consulting on, preparing, 

prosecuting, drafting, editing, amending, or otherwise affecting the scope of the claims; and 

(vi) a list of the cases in which the Person has testified at deposition or trial 

within the last five (5) years. 

Further, the Party seeking to disclose Protected Material shall provide such other 

information regarding the Person’s professional activities reasonably requested by the 

Producing Party for it to evaluate whether good cause exists to object to the disclosure of 

Protected Material to the outside expert or consultant. During the pendency of and for a period 

of two (2) years after the final resolution of this action, including all appeals, the Party seeking 

to disclose Protected Material shall immediately provide written notice of any change with 

respect to the Person’s involvement in the design, development, operation or patenting of the

distribution of movies or other media, or the acquisition of intellectual property assets relating to 

the distribution of movies or other media. 

(b) Within fourteen (14) days of receipt of the disclosure of the Person, the 

Producing Party or Parties may object in writing to the Person for good cause. In the absence of 

an objection at the end of the fourteen (14) day period, the Person shall be deemed approved 

under this Protective Order. There shall be no disclosure of Protected Material to the Person 

prior to expiration of this fourteen (14) day period. If the Producing Party objects to disclosure 

to the Person within such fourteen (14) day period, the Parties shall meet and confer via 

telephone or in person within seven (7) days following the objection and attempt in good faith to 

resolve the dispute on an informal basis. If the dispute is not resolved, the Party objecting to the 

disclosure will have seven (7) days from the date of the meet and confer to seek relief from the 

Court. If relief is not sought from the Court within that time, the objection shall be deemed 

withdrawn. If relief is sought, designated materials shall not be disclosed to the Person in 

question until the Court resolves the objection. 

(c) For purposes of this section, “good cause” shall include an objectively reasonable 

concern that the Person will, advertently or inadvertently, use or disclose Discovery Materials in 

a way or ways that are inconsistent with the provisions contained in this Order. 

(d) Prior to receiving any Protected Material under this Order, the Person must 

execute a copy of the “Agreement to Be Bound by Protective Order” (Exhibit A hereto) and 

serve it on all Parties. 

(e) An initial failure to object to a Person under this Paragraph 12 shall not preclude 

the non-objecting Party from later objecting to continued access by that Person for good cause. 

If an objection is made, the Parties shall meet and confer via telephone or in person within seven 

(7) days following the objection and attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute informally. If 

the dispute is not resolved, the Party objecting to the disclosure will have seven (7) days from 

the date of the meet and confer to seek relief from the Court. The designated Person may 

continue to have access to information that was provided to such Person prior to the date of the 

objection. If a later objection is made, no further Protected Material shall be disclosed to the

Person until the Court resolves the matter or the Producing Party withdraws its objection. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Producing Party fails to move for a protective order within 

seven (7) business days after the meet and confer, further Protected Material may thereafter be 

provided to the Person. 

13. CHALLENGING DESIGNATIONS OF PROTECTED MATERIAL 

(a) A Party shall not be obligated to challenge the propriety of any designation of 

Discovery Material under this Order at the time the designation is made, and a failure to do so 

shall not preclude a subsequent challenge thereto. 

(b) Any challenge to a designation of Discovery Material under this Order shall be 

written, shall be served on outside counsel for the Producing Party, shall particularly identify the 

documents or information that the Receiving Party contends should be differently designated, 

and shall state the grounds for the objection. Thereafter, further protection of such material 

shall be resolved in accordance with the following procedures: 

(i) The objecting Party shall have the burden of conferring either in person, 

in writing, or by telephone with the Producing Party claiming protection (as well as any other 

interested party) in a good faith effort to resolve the dispute. The Producing Party shall have the 

burden of justifying the disputed designation; 

(ii) Failing agreement, the Receiving Party may bring a motion to the Court 

for a ruling that the Discovery Material in question is not entitled to the status and protection of 

the Producing Party’s designation. The Parties’ entry into this Order shall not preclude or 

prejudice either Party from arguing for or against any designation, establish any presumption 

that a particular designation is valid, or alter the burden of proof that would otherwise apply in a 

dispute over discovery or disclosure of information; 

(iii) Notwithstanding any challenge to a designation, the Discovery Material 

in question shall continue to be treated as designated under this Order until one of the following 

occurs: (a) the Party who designated the Discovery Material in question withdraws such 

designation in writing; or (b) the Court rules that the Discovery Material in question is not 

entitled to the designation.

14. SUBPOENAS OR COURT ORDERS 

(a) If at any time Protected Material is subpoenaed by any court, arbitral, 

administrative, or legislative body, the Party to whom the subpoena or other request is directed 

shall immediately give prompt written notice thereof to every Party who has produced such 

Discovery Material and to its counsel and shall provide each such Party with an opportunity to 

move for a protective order regarding the production of Protected Materials implicated by the 

subpoena. 

15. FILING PROTECTED MATERIAL 

(a) Absent written permission from the Producing Party or a court Order secured 

after appropriate notice to all interested persons, a Receiving Party may not file or disclose in 

the public record any Protected Material. 

(b) Any Party is authorized under Civil L.R. 79-5 to file under seal with the Court 

any brief, document or materials that are designated as Protected Material under this Order. 

However, nothing in this section shall in any way limit or detract from this Order’s requirements 

as to Source Code. 

16. INADVERTENT DISCLOSURE OF PRIVILEGED MATERIAL 

(a) The inadvertent production by a Party of Discovery Material subject to the 

attorney-client privilege, work-product protection, or any other applicable privilege or 

protection, despite the Producing Party’s reasonable efforts to prescreen such Discovery 

Material prior to production, will not waive the applicable privilege and/or protection if a 

request for return of such inadvertently produced Discovery Material is made promptly after the 

Producing Party learns of its inadvertent production. 

(b) Upon a request from any Producing Party who has inadvertently produced 

Discovery Material that it believes is privileged and/or protected, each Receiving Party shall 

immediately return such Protected Material or Discovery Material and all copies to the 

Producing Party, except for any pages containing privileged markings by the Receiving Party 

which shall instead be destroyed and certified as such by the Receiving Party to the Producing 

Party.

(c) Nothing herein shall prevent the Receiving Party from preparing a record for its 

own use containing the date, author, addresses, and topic of the inadvertently produced 

Discovery Material and such other information as is reasonably necessary to identify the 

Discovery Material and describe its nature to the Court in any motion to compel production of 

the Discovery Material. 

17. INADVERTENT FAILURE TO DESIGNATE PROPERLY 

(a) The inadvertent failure by a Producing Party to designate Discovery Material as 

Protected Material with one of the designations provided for under this Order shall not waive 

any such designation provided that the Producing Party notifies all Receiving Parties that such 

Discovery Material is protected under one of the categories of this Order within fourteen (14) 

days of the Producing Party learning of the inadvertent failure to designate. The Producing Party 

shall reproduce the Protected Material with the correct confidentiality designation within seven 

(7) days upon its notification to the Receiving Parties. Upon receiving the Protected Material 

with the correct confidentiality designation, the Receiving Parties shall return or securely 

destroy, at the Producing Party’s option, all Discovery Material that was not designated 

properly. 

(b) A Receiving Party shall not be in breach of this Order for any use of such 

Discovery Material before the Receiving Party receives such notice that such Discovery 

Material is protected under one of the categories of this Order, unless an objectively reasonable 

person would have realized that the Discovery Material should have been appropriately 

designated with a confidentiality designation under this Order. Once a Receiving Party has 

received notification of the correct confidentiality designation for the Protected Material with 

the correct confidentiality designation, the Receiving Party shall treat such Discovery Material 

(subject to the exception in Paragraph 17(c) below) at the appropriately designated level 

pursuant to the terms of this Order. 

(c) Notwithstanding the above, a subsequent designation of “CONFIDENTIAL,” 

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

EYES ONLY – SOURCE CODE” shall apply on a going forward basis and shall not disqualify

(a) In the event of a disclosure of any Discovery Material pursuant to this Order to 

any person or persons not authorized to receive such disclosure under this Protective Order, the 

Party responsible for having made such disclosure, and each Party with knowledge thereof, shall 

immediately notify counsel for the Producing Party whose Discovery Material has been 

disclosed and provide to such counsel all known relevant information concerning the nature and 

circumstances of the disclosure. The responsible disclosing Party shall also promptly take all 

reasonable measures to retrieve the improperly disclosed Discovery Material and to ensure that 

no further or greater unauthorized disclosure and/or use thereof is made 

(b) Unauthorized or inadvertent disclosure does not change the status of Discovery 

Material or waive the right to hold the disclosed document or information as Protected. 

19. FINAL DISPOSITION 

(a) Not later than ninety (90) days after the Final Disposition of this case, each Party 

shall return all Discovery Material of a Producing Party to the respective outside counsel of the 

Producing Party or destroy such Material, at the option of the Producing Party. For purposes of 

this Order, “Final Disposition” occurs after an order, mandate, or dismissal finally terminating 

the above-captioned action with prejudice, including all appeals. 

(b) All Parties that have received any such Discovery Material shall certify in 

writing that all such materials have been returned to the respective outside counsel of the 

Producing Party or destroyed. Notwithstanding the provisions for return of Discovery Material, 

outside counsel may retain one set of pleadings, correspondence and attorney and consultant 

work product (but not document productions) for archival purposes, but must return any 

pleadings, correspondence, and consultant work product that contain Source Code.

waive the right to argue that certain material may require additional or different confidentiality 

protections than those set forth herein. 

(b) Termination of Matter and Retention of Jurisdiction. The Parties agree that the 

terms of this Protective Order shall survive and remain in effect after the Final Determination of 

the above-captioned matter. The Court shall retain jurisdiction after Final Determination of this

representatives, assigns, subsidiaries, divisions, employees, agents, retained consultants and 

experts, and any persons or organizations over which they have direct control. 

(d) 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. 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. This Order shall not constitute 

a waiver of the right of any Party to claim in this action or otherwise that any Discovery 

Material, or any portion thereof, is privileged or otherwise non-discoverable, or is not 

admissible in evidence in this action or any other proceeding. 

(e) Privilege Log. Privilege logs do not need to be maintained or exchanged for any 

entries that would be dated after the start of this litigation. 

(f) Burdens of Proof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, nothing in 

this Protective Order shall be construed to change the burdens of proof or legal standards 

applicable in disputes regarding whether particular Discovery Material is confidential, which 

level of confidentiality is appropriate, whether disclosure should be restricted, and if so, what 

restrictions should apply. 

(g) Modification by Court. This Order is subject to further court order based upon 

public policy or other considerations, and the Court may modify this Order sua sponte in the 

interests of justice. The United States District Court for the Northern District of California is 

responsible for the interpretation and enforcement of this Order. All disputes concerning

way the discovery provisions of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the Local Rules for the
