PROTECTIVE ORDER 

The parties to the above-entitled action hereby stipulate and agree to the following 

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. 

The parties further acknowledge that entering into, agreeing to, and/or producing 

or receiving Confidential Information (defined below), or otherwise complying with 

the terms of this Stipulated Protective Order shall not operate as an admission 

that any particular Confidential Information contains or reflects trade secrets or 

any other type of confidential information. 

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). 

2.4 “Highly Confidential – Attorneys’ Eyes Only” Information or Items: 

extremely sensitive “Confidential Information or Items” whose disclosure to 

another Party or nonparty would create a substantial risk of serious injury that 

could not be avoided by less restrictive measures. 

2.5 Receiving Party: a Party that receives Disclosure or 

Discovery Material in this action. 

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.” 

2.9. Outside Counsel: attorneys who are not employees of a Party 

but who are 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: a person with specialized knowledge or experience in a 

matter pertinent to the litigation who has been retained by a Party or its counsel to 

serve as an expert witness or as a consultant in this action and who is not a past 

or a current employee of a Party or of a competitor of a Party and who, at the time 

of retention, is not anticipated to become an employee of a Party or a competitor

of a Party. 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 Designating Party must 

take care to 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. 

Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited. 

Designations that are shown to be clearly unjustified, or that have been made for 

an improper purpose (e.g., to unnecessarily encumber or retard the case 

This court will retain jurisdiction to enforce the terms of this order for a period of six months after the final termination of this action. ^

development process, or to impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other 

parties), expose the Designating Party to sanctions. 

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) and 5.3, 

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. 

Designation in conformity with this Order requires: 

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

of depositions or other pretrial or trial proceedings), that the Producing Party affix 

the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES 

ONLY” at the top of each page that contains protected material. A Party or nonparty 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”) at the top of each page that 

contains Protected Material.

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

proceedings, that the Party or non-party offering or sponsoring the testimony 

identify on the record, before the close of the deposition, hearing, or other 

proceeding, all protected testimony, and further specify any portions of the 

testimony that qualify as “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES 

ONLY.” When it is impractical to identify separately each portion of testimony 

that is entitled to protection or when it appears that substantial portions of the 

testimony may qualify for protection, the Party or non-party that sponsors, offers, 

or gives the testimony may invoke on the record (before the deposition or 

proceeding is concluded) a right to have up to 20 days after delivery of the draft 

transcript to identify the specific portions of the testimony as to which protection is 

sought and to specify the level of protection being asserted (“CONFIDENTIAL” or 

“HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY”). Only those portions of 

the testimony that are appropriately designated for protection within the 20 days 

shall be covered by the provisions of this Stipulated Protective Order. During the 

20 day period when protected testimony may be identified the entire transcript 

shall be treated as “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.” 

After the period when protected testimony may be identified, if any testimony was 

identified as protected, then a new transcript shall be prepared with the protected 

portions separated, as set forth in this Stipulated Protective Order, and all copies 

of the draft transcript shall be destroyed. 

Transcript pages containing Protected Material must be 

separately bound by the court reporter, who must affix to the top of each such 

page the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ 

EYES ONLY,” as instructed by the Party or nonparty offering or sponsoring the 

witness or presenting the testimony. Transcript pages containing Protected 

Material in electronic form must be segregated in a separate electronic file, and (i) 

the file name must indicate that the file is “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY

CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,” as the case may be, and (ii) and 

the same designation should be visible when the file is first opened. 

(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” or “HIGHLY 

CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.” The file name of any electronic 

file containing Protected Material must indicate that the file is “CONFIDENTIAL” or 

“HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,” as the case may be, 

and the same designation should be visible when the file is first opened. If only 

portions of the information or item warrant protection, the Producing Party, to the 

extent practicable, shall identify the protected portions, specifying whether they 

qualify as “Confidential” or as “Highly Confidential – Attorneys’ Eyes Only.” 

5.3 Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, 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 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 under the Local Rules, and further 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.

PROTECTIVE ORDER 

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. 

The provisions of this Order shall not apply to any document or 

information contained therein which are obtained from non-privileged sources 

other than through discovery or which are before or after designation as 

“Confidential” or “Highly Confidential – Attorneys’ Eyes Only” become, as a matter 

of public record on file with any governmental or regulatory agency or board or 

otherwise available from publicly accessible sources. 

Nothing in this Order shall apply to (1) a Producing Party’s use of its 

own Protected Material for any purpose or (2) its own use of documents or other 

information developed or obtained independently of discovery in this action for any 

purpose. 

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 Counsel to whom it is reasonably necessary 

to disclose the information for this litigation;

Party without prior notice to counsel for the Designating Party so that such 

counsel shall have the opportunity to seek further protection as appropriate. 

Pages of transcribed deposition testimony or exhibits to depositions that reveal 

Protected Material must be, to the extent practicable, separately bound by the 

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

Stipulated Protective Order.

information and any person who on the face of a document containing Protected 

Material is indicated to be or is otherwise known to be the addressee or copy

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
