[Proposed] Protective Order

WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire a protective order for the purpose of 

protecting the interests of each, respectively, in its own Confidential Information, as those terms 

are defined below, by controlling the access to and use of such Confidential Information, while 

allowing discovery of the same for the purpose of conducting this litigation and not for any other 

purpose outside the scope of this litigation;

IT IS STIPULATED AND AGREED BY AND BETWEEN THE PARTIES 

HERETO, through their respective counsel of record and subject to the approval of the Court, 

without waiving any claims or defenses in the above-captioned action, and without acknowledging 

the propriety of any claim by any party that any information produced during the course of 

discovery in this action constitutes Confidential Information or Highly Confidential Information, 

as those terms are defined below, that in order to preserve any claim by any party that information 

produced during discovery constitutes Confidential or Highly Confidential Information, the 

following protective order (the "Order") shall govern discovery in this action.

1. "Confidential Information" shall mean trade secret information as defined in 

California Civil Code section 3426.1 and confidential, competitive and/or proprietary information 

which is designated as such as provided herein. Confidential Information shall include, but not be 

limited to internal corporate memoranda, customer or account information (including any data, 

material, identification, or account information related to any customer), data analyses, documents 

related to contracts and/or relationships with third-parties, sensitive business documents, and 

financial information, written or stored in any medium whatsoever, produced by the parties in the 

course of this litigation, as well as answers to interrogatories, responses to production requests, 

responses to requests for admission, and deposition testimony regarding the above.

1.1 Information or materials designated as "Highly Confidential - Attorneys' 

Eyes Only" (sometimes referred to herein as "Highly Confidential Information") shall be those 

things of a proprietary business or technical nature, including material included in the definition of 

"Confidential Information" that might be of value to a competitor, customer 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 by the parties 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.

2.1 Confidential or Highly Confidential Information in written or documentary 

form shall be designated as confidential material by the party seeking protection, prior to such 

information being served on or delivered to the other parties or being made available for 

inspection and copying, in the following way: each document page must be stamped or marked 

with the word "Confidential" or with the words "Highly Confidential - Attorneys' Eyes Only." 

2.2 Failure to so mark a document or thing in accordance with this Order shall 

not preclude any party desiring to so designate the document or thing thereafter from, provided the 

party proceeds promptly after discovery of any omission of marking, in good faith marking the 

document or thing and requesting, in writing, that the receiving party to so mark and treat the 

document or thing in accordance with this Order. Thereafter, the document or thing shall be fully 

subject to this Order. The receiving party shall not reveal any information produced whether or 

not marked "Confidential" or "Highly Confidential - Attorneys' Eyes Only" for a period of three 

(3) days following receipt. Neither party shall incur liability for any disclosures made prior to 

notice of such designations but after the three- (3) day period described above.

2.3 Documents that may be produced for the Initial Disclosures in this action 

may be designated as Confidential Information or Highly Confidential Information within thirty

(30) days of the production. Pending such designation, if any, no such document may be revealed 

for a period of thirty (30) days after execution by the parties of this Stipulation.

2.4 If a party through inadvertence produces or provides discovery that it 

believes is subject to a claim of attorney-client privilege or work product immunity, the producing 

party may give written notice to the receiving party or parties that the document is subject to a 

claim of attorney-client privilege or work product immunity and request that the document be 

returned to the producing party. The receiving party or parties shall return to the producing party 

all copies of such document. Return of the document by the receiving party shall not constitute an 

admission or concession, or permit any inference, that the returned document is, in fact, properly

or other proceeding, seeks to introduce, use or otherwise refer to a document or thing that has 

previously been designated Confidential Information or Highly Confidential Information , shall 

advise counsel present (and, if relevant, the Court) immediately in advance of such intended 

introduction, use or reference, and, unless the Court orders otherwise, shall treat the document or 

thing in accordance with the provisions of this Order relating to Confidential Information or 

Highly Confidential Information .

8. All Confidential Information or Highly Confidential Information filed with 

the Court for any purpose, and any pleadings or memoranda or other documents purporting to 

reproduce, summarize or paraphrase Confidential Information or Highly Confidential Information, 

shall be filed and served in a sealed envelope or other container marked on the outside with the 

title of the action, an identification of each item within and a statement substantially as follows:

Confidential Information [or Highly Confidential Information]-- Subject to Protective Order.

This item shall not be opened except as ordered by the Court in this action 

or upon written stipulation executed by all of the parties and filed in Court in this action.

The envelope or other container in the Court file shall not be opened except as 

ordered by the Court or upon written stipulation, executed by all the parties or their counsel and

Confidential Information shall then have the responsibility to obtain a court order to quash the 

subject subpoena and/or obtain such other relief as will protect the confidential or restricted nature 

of the documents. Should such a motion be filed before the requested production date or should a 

timely motion be made, the party upon whom the subpoena is served shall not deliver the subject 

documents until after such time as the court rules on the subject motion. Should an order be 

obtained, the party upon whom the subpoena is served shall comply with the order. Should no 

motion be filed before the scheduled production date, the party upon whom the subpoena is served 

may comply with the subpoena, so long as the documents are marked and produced in accordance 

with any applicable protective order which provides for similar types of restrictions as set forth 

herein.

10. This Order and the procedures set forth herein shall not affect the rights of

the parties to object to discovery on any grounds, nor shall it relieve a party of the necessity of 

proper response or objection to discovery requests, nor shall it preclude any party from seeking 

further relief or protective orders from the Court as may be appropriate under the Federal Rules of 

Evidence and Federal Rules of Civil Procedure or any other applicable statute, rule or authority.

11. This Order shall be without prejudice to the right of the parties (a) to bring 

before the Court at any time the question of whether any particular document or information 

constitutes Confidential Information or Highly Confidential Information, or (b) to present a 

motion to the Court for a separate or modified protective order as to any particular document or 

information, including restrictions differing from those as specified herein. Irrespective of which 

party brings before the Court the question of whether any particular document or information 

constitutes Confidential Information or Highly Confidential Information, the burden of persuasion 

shall be on the party seeking to have the designation apply to the document or information in 

question. This Order shall not be deemed to prejudice the parties in any way in any future 

application or modification of this Order. The parties agree to seek the resolution of any disputes 

regarding the propriety of any designation of information as Confidential Information or Highly 

Confidential Information before raising any such issues with the Court. If the parties and their 

counsel through the meet and confer process have been unable to arrive at a resolution, the parties

if permitted. If any such disputes arise during the course of a deposition, the parties shall 

temporarily recess the deposition and meet and confer at that time to attempt to resolve the 

dispute.

12. Within thirty (30) days after the last day for the filing of a notice of appeal 

of the final decision in this matter, with no such notice of appeal having been filed, or thirty (30) 

days after the final designation of any decision on appeal and remand (if any) thereafter, 

whichever is later, all Confidential Information and Highly Confidential Information and (other 

than attorney work product) all other documents and other things containing or reflecting 

Confidential Information or Highly Confidential Information (including, without limitation, all 

copies, extracts or summaries thereof) shall be destroyed or delivered to counsel for the party or 

parties from whom said Confidential Information or Highly Confidential Information was 

obtained. At that time, counsel for the party or parties shall send written confirmation of the 

destruction or delivery of Confidential Information and Highly Confidential Information.

and Highly Confidential Information during the entirety of this litigation through appeal, and 

thereafter, and shall remain in full force and effect until modified, superseded or terminated on the
