MEDIATEK, INC., 

Counterclaimant, 

vs.

MATSUSHITA ELECTRIC INDUSTRIAL 

CO., LTD. and PANASONIC 

CORPORATION OF NORTH AMERICA, 

Counterdefendants.

WHEREAS, discovery in this action will require the disclosure of trade secrets or 

other confidential research, development, or commercial information of both parties and of nonparties from whom discovery may be sought; 

WHEREAS, the parties have conferred in good faith and have agreed upon the 

terms of a Stipulated Protective Order; 

WHEREAS, the parties acknowledge that this Stipulated Protective 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; and 

WHEREAS, the parties further acknowledge that this Stipulated Protective Order 

creates no entitlement to file confidential information under seal without approval by the Court; 

therefore,

The parties stipulate, pursuant to Rule 26(c) of the Federal Rules of Civil 

Procedure, subject to the approval of the Court, to the following Protective Order: 

1. Scope of Protection 

1.1 This Stipulated Protective Order shall govern any record of information, 

designated pursuant to paragraph 2 of this Stipulated Protective Order and produced in this action, 

including, but not limited to, all designated deposition testimony, all designated testimony taken at 

a hearing or other proceeding, interrogatory answers, responses to requests for admissions,

documents and other discovery materials, whether produced informally or in response to 

interrogatories, requests for admission, requests for production of documents, or other formal 

method of discovery, designated expert reports, designated memoranda of law, and tangible things 

or objects that are designated pursuant to this Stipulated Protective Order. 

1.2 This Stipulated Protective Order also governs any designated information 

or documents produced in this action pursuant to required disclosures under any federal procedural 

rule or Northern District of California local rule, and any supplementary disclosures thereto. 

1.3 This Stipulated Protective Order shall apply to the parties and to any 

nonparty from whom discovery is sought and who desires the protection of this Protective Order. 

2. Designation. 

2.1 Each party shall have the right to designate as “Confidential” and subject 

to this Stipulated Protective Order any information produced by it in this action that contains, 

reflects, or otherwise discloses confidential technical, business, financial, or proprietary data or 

information. This designation shall be made by stamping or otherwise labeling each page or thing 

containing Confidential information with the legend CONFIDENTIAL prior to its production or, 

if inadvertently produced without such legend, by furnishing written notice to the receiving party 

that the information shall be considered Confidential under this Stipulated Protective Order. The 

parties will use reasonable care to avoid designating any documents or information Confidential 

that are generally available to the public. 

2.2 Each party shall have the right to designate as “Attorney’s Eyes Only” 

any information produced in this action that contains, reflects or otherwise discloses trade secrets, 

ongoing research and development, or competitively sensitive information. Examples of such 

information may include (i) licenses, (ii) sales, costs, margins, profitability and expenses with 

respect to any product or process, (iii) marketing or business plans or strategies for existing or new 

products or processes, including but not limited to competitive analyses, marketing strategies, and 

proprietary marketing tools, (iv) detailed technical information such as product schematics, circuit

diagrams, manufacturing information, or otherwise competitively sensitive technical information, 

or (v) RTL, sourcecode or microcode and the like. These examples are not intended to be a 

comprehensive list of all documents or information that may qualify for such designation. 

Similarly, listing these examples should not be construed as an admission or acknowledgment that 

such information or documents is discoverable. This designation shall be made by stamping or 

otherwise labeling each page or thing containing Attorney’s Eyes Only information with the 

legend ATTORNEY’S EYES ONLY prior to its production or, if inadvertently produced without 

such legend, by furnishing written notice to the receiving party that the information shall be 

considered Attorney’s Eyes Only under this Stipulated Protective Order. To the extent that 

material is marked Attorney’s Eyes Only, such material shall be revealed to or used only by 

qualified outside counsel and experts as provided for in paragraph 4 and shall not be 

communicated in any manner, either directly or indirectly, to any person or entity not permitted 

disclosure pursuant to this Stipulated Protective Order. Any copies of Attorney’s Eyes Only 

material, abstracts, summaries or information derived therefrom, and any notes or other records 

regarding the contents thereof shall also be deemed for Attorney’s Eyes Only, and the same terms 

regarding confidentiality of these materials shall apply as apply to the originals. 

2.3 With respect to all materials provided for inspection by a party’s counsel, 

designation by stamping or labeling need not be made until copies of the materials are requested 

after inspection and selection by counsel. Making documents and things available for inspection 

shall not constitute a waiver of any claim of confidentiality, and all materials provided for 

inspection by a party’s counsel shall be treated as though designated "Attorney’s Eyes Only" from 

the time of the inspection until otherwise designated pursuant to this Stipulated Protective Order. 

3. Limit On Use And Disclosure Of Designated Information. 

3.1 All recipients of Confidential or Attorney’s Eyes Only information 

pursuant to this Stipulated Protective Order shall use any information or document governed by 

this Stipulated Protective Order only in connection with the prosecution or defense of this action,

Attorney’s Eyes Only information for any business or competitive purposes. The prosecution and 

defense of this action does not include prosecuting or overseeing the prosecution of patent 

applications, reissue applications, reexamination applications, interference proceedings or 

opposition proceedings. No party or other person shall disclose or release to any person not 

authorized under this Stipulated Protective Order any information or document governed by this 

Stipulated Protective Order for any purpose, or to any person authorized under this Stipulated 

Protective Order for any other purpose. 

3.2 Although it is understood that counsel for a party may give advice and 

opinions to his or her client regarding this litigation based on his or her evaluation of designated 

Confidential and Attorney’s Eyes Only information received by the party – provided that such 

rendering of advice and opinions shall not reveal the content of such information except by prior 

written agreement with counsel for the producing party – counsel receiving Confidential or 

Attorney’s Eyes Only information under this Stipulated Protective Order will not in any way use 

such information to provide advice or opinions to in any way enable the prosecution of any patents 

or to otherwise attempt to secure valid patent claims (e.g., reissue, reexamination, certificates of 

correction). 

3.3 The attorneys of record for the parties and other persons receiving 

information governed by this Stipulated Protective Order shall exercise reasonable care to ensure 

that the information and documents governed by this Stipulated Protective Order are (a) used only 

for the purposes specified herein and (b) disclosed only to authorized persons. 

4. Disclosure Of Designated Information. 

4.1 Documents or information designated Confidential shall be disclosed by 

the recipient thereof only to:

STIP. PROTECTIVE ORDER

4.6 Anyone who receives Attorney’s Eyes Only information or Confidential 

information shall not write or prosecute any patent applications for a period of one year following 

final termination of this action, including appeals.

4.7 If a party intends to reveal the Confidential information or Attorney’s 

Eyes Only information of another party or a non-party during a trial, court appearance or hearing 

which is open to the public (a “Court Disclosure”), the party seeking to make the Court Disclosure 

shall notify the Court just prior to disclosure to address appropriate procedures for doing so. In 

addition to the procedures imposed by paragraph 4.6(a), if a party intends to make a Court 

Disclosure relating to Attorney’s Eyes Only information of a non-party, the party seeking to do so 

shall give at least 5 days written notice to the non-party. This written notice shall specifically 

identify the information the party intends to use. 

5. Withholding and Redaction. 

5.1 Counsel for a party producing documents may withhold documents or 

mask (“redact”) material deemed exempt from discovery because such documents or material are 

protected from disclosure under the attorney-client privilege or work product doctrine of Fed. R. 

Civ. P. 26(b). For withheld documents: the document withheld, along with the protection claimed 

for the document and the basis for the protection, shall be reported on a log consistent with Fed. R. 

Civ. P. 26(b)(5). For redacted documents: (i) the produced document must identify the area where 

redaction has occurred; and (ii) the identity of the redacted document, the protection claimed for 

the redacted portions, and the basis for the protection shall be reported on a log to be provided 

within ninety (90) calendar days after the production of the redacted document. In all cases, 

sufficient information must be provided to enable the other party to evaluate the legitimacy of the 

asserted privilege or immunity.

5.2 Counsel for a party producing documents need not list in any such log or 

produce any documents created after the start of the present litigation that reflect attorney-client

communications related to the present litigation or contain work product related to the present 

litigation.

5.3 Additionally, counsel for a party producing documents need not list in 

any such log or produce any documents created in anticipation of and related solely to the present 

litigation.

6. Identification Of Experts, In-House Attorneys, and Employees. 

6.1 If any party desires to disclose information designated Confidential or 

Attorney’s Eyes Only to any expert or consultant pursuant to paragraph 4.1(e) above, it must first 

identify in writing to the attorneys for the producing party each such expert or consultant. Such 

identification shall include (i) the full name and professional address and/or affiliation of the 

proposed expert or consultant and (ii) an up-to-date curriculum vitae identifying at least all other 

present employment; prior employment in the field over the past four years; and a list of all 

litigation matters in which the expert or consultant has been deposed or testified at trial over the 

past four years.

6.2 If any party desires to disclose information designated Confidential to 

any employee, in-house attorney, or legal department or intellectual property department 

personnel pursuant to paragraphs 4.1(b) or 4.1(c) above, it must first identify in writing to the 

attorneys for the producing party each such person. Such identification shall include the full 

name, work address, title, and a description of such person’s duties sufficient to assess the 

likelihood of unauthorized disclosure of protected information. 

6.3 The producing party shall have seven (7) business days from receipt of 

such notice to object to disclosure of such information to people identified pursuant to paragraphs 

6.1 or 6.2. Objections shall not be made except where the objecting party has a good faith belief 

that it will be harmed by the disclosure of the party’s information. Any objection made to an 

opposing party shall state in detail the basis for the objection and (i) identify the objecting party’s 

Confidential or Attorney’s Eyes Only information that underlies the objection; (ii) identify how

the party believes such information may be used to its harm; and (iii) state why the objecting party 

believes the protections already afforded by this Stipulated Protective Order would be inadequate 

to prevent the anticipated harm such that the objection is warranted. 

6.4 The parties shall attempt to resolve any objections informally. If the 

objections cannot be resolved, the objecting party may move the Court for an Order preventing 

disclosure within five (5) business days after the parties’ attempts at informal resolution have 

concluded. If any such motion is made, the objecting party shall bear the burden of proof. If no 

such motion is made within said five (5) business day period, the consultant, expert, employee, inhouse attorney or legal department or intellectual property department personnel shall be permitted 

to receive Confidential or Attorney’s Eyes Only information pursuant to the terms of this 

Stipulated Protective Order. In the event objections are made and not resolved informally and a 

motion is filed, disclosure of information to the expert, consultant, employee, in-house attorney or 

legal department or intellectual property department personnel shall not be made except by Order 

of the Court (or to any limited extent upon which the parties may agree). 

7. Related Documents. 

Information designated Confidential or Attorney’s Eyes Only shall include (a) all 

documents, copies, extracts, and complete or partial summaries prepared from or containing such 

information; (b) portions of briefs, memoranda or any other papers filed with the Court and 

exhibits thereto which contain or reflect the content of any such documents, copies, extracts, or 

summaries; (c) deposition testimony designated in accordance with paragraph 8. 

8. Designation Of Transcripts. 

8.1 Deposition transcripts, or portions thereof, may be designated as subject 

to this Stipulated Protective Order either (a) at the time of such deposition, in which case the 

transcript of the designated testimony shall be marked by the reporter with the appropriate legend 

(see paragraphs 2.1 and 2.2) as the designating party may direct, or (b) within fourteen (14)

business days after receipt of the official transcript of the deposition by providing written notice to 

the reporter and all counsel of record, in which case all counsel receiving such notice shall mark 

the copies or portions of the designated transcript in their possession or under their control as 

directed by the designating party. All deposition transcripts not previously designated shall be 

deemed to be, and shall be treated as, Attorney’s Eyes Only for a period of fourteen (14) business 

days after receipt of the official transcript of the deposition. 

8.2 The designating party shall have the right to exclude from a deposition, 

before the taking of testimony which the designating party designates Confidential or Attorney’s 

Eyes Only and subject to this Stipulated Protective Order, all persons other than those persons 

previously qualified to receive such information pursuant to paragraph 4. The failure of such 

persons to leave a deposition whenever such a request is made under this paragraph shall justify 

counsel to instruct the witness that he or she shall not answer the question, if the counsel has a 

reasonable belief that the answer would disclose Confidential or Attorney’s Eyes Only 

information. 

8.3 At any Court hearing or proceeding, no party is prevented by this 

Stipulated Protective Order from moving the Court to close the hearing and designate all or 

portions of the transcript as Confidential or Attorney’s Eyes Only information. 

9. Disclosure To Author Or Recipient. 

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Stipulated Protective Order, nothing herein 

shall prohibit counsel for a party from disclosing a document containing information designated 

Confidential or Attorney’s Eyes Only to any current employee of the producing party, or to any 

person that the document clearly identifies as an author, addressee, or recipient of such document 

or who can be shown by appropriate foundation (without disclosing the contents of the document) 

would have received, seen, been in possession of, or had access to the particular document or the 

confidential information contained in the document. Regardless of the designation pursuant to this 

Stipulated Protective Order, if a document or testimony makes reference to the actual or alleged

matter of such conduct or statements with such witness without revealing any portion of the

10.1 Any party may seek leave of the Court to file information designated 

Confidential or Attorney’s Eyes Only under seal pursuant to Local Rule 79-5. The party filing any 

paper which reflects, contains or includes any party’s Confidential or Attorney’s Eyes Only 

information subject to this Stipulated Protective Order shall file such paper in a sealed envelope, 

or other appropriately sealed container, with a statement substantially in the following form: 

DOCUMENT SUBMITTED UNDER SEAL

This envelope contains documents subject to a Protective Order of the 

Court dated ________________. It should be opened only by the 

Court. Its contents should not be disclosed, revealed or made public 

except in accordance with the terms of said Order or upon further 

order of the Court or written agreement of the parties. 

10.2 If any party fails to file documents or things containing Confidential or 

Attorney’s Eyes Only under seal, the designating party or any party to this action may request, 

within 30 days of the filing of said designated materials, that the Court place the designated 

materials under seal. The Clerk of the Court is directed to comply with such request if made. 

11. Challenge To Confidentiality. 

11.1 Each party or non-party that designates information or items for 

protection under this Stipulated Protective Order must take care to limit any such designations to 

specific material that qualifies under the appropriate standards. A designating party must take care 

to designate for protection only those parts of materials, 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 Stipulated Protective Order. Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are 

prohibited. If it comes to a designating party’s attention that information or items that it 

designated for protection do not qualify for protection at all, or do not qualify at the level of 

protection initially asserted, the designating party shall promptly notify all other parties that it is 

withdrawing the mistaken designation. 

11.2 This Stipulated Protective Order shall not preclude any party from 

seeking and obtaining, on an appropriate showing, such additional protection with respect to the 

confidentiality of documents or other discovery materials as that party may consider appropriate.

Nor shall any party be precluded from (a) claiming that any matter designated hereunder is not 

entitled to the protections of this Stipulated Protective Order, (b) applying to the Court for an order 

permitting the disclosure or use of information or documents otherwise prohibited by this 

Stipulated Protective Order, or (c) applying for a further order modifying this Stipulated Protective 

Order in any respect. No party shall be obligated to challenge the propriety of any designation, 

and failure to do so shall not preclude a subsequent challenge to the propriety of such designation. 

11.3 On any motion challenging the designation of any information, the 

burden of proof shall lie with the producing party to establish that the information is, in fact, 

Confidential or Attorney’s Eyes Only information. If a party seeks de-designation of particular 

items the following procedure shall be utilized: 

a. The party seeking such de-designation shall give counsel of record 

for the other party written notice thereof by facsimile specifying the designated information as to 

which such removal is sought and the reasons for the request; and 

b. If, after conferring, the parties cannot reach agreement concerning 

the matter within five (5) business days after the delivery and receipt of the notice, then the party 

requesting the de-designation of particular items may file and serve a motion for a further order of 

this Court directing that the designation shall be so removed.

STIP. PROTECTIVE ORDER

12. Prior Or Public Knowledge. 

This Stipulated Protective Order shall not apply to information that, prior to disclosure, is 

public knowledge, and the restrictions contained in this Stipulated Protective Order shall not apply 

to information that is, or after disclosure becomes, public, was in the possession of the party to 

whom disclosure is made prior to disclosure, or is public knowledge other than by an act or 

omission of the party to whom such disclosure is made, or that is legitimately and independently 

acquired from a source not subject to this Stipulated Protective Order. 

13. Limitation Of Stipulated Protective Order. 

This Stipulated Protective Order is not intended to address discovery objections to 

produce, answer, or respond on the grounds of attorney-client privilege or work product immunity, 

or to preclude any party from seeking further relief or protective orders from the Court as may be 

appropriate under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. 

14. Other Proceedings. 

14.1 By entering this Stipulated Protective Order and limiting the disclosure of 

information in this case, the Court does not intend to preclude another court from finding that 

information may be relevant and subject to disclosure in another case. Any person or party subject 

to this Stipulated Protective Order who may be subject to a motion to disclose another party’s 

Confidential or Attorney’s Eyes Only information pursuant to this Stipulated Protective Order 

shall notify the producing party of the motion, in writing by facsimile, within three business days 

after receipt of the motion, and provide that party with a copy of the motion so that it may have an 

opportunity to appear and be heard on whether such information should be disclosed. The person 

or party who may be subject to a motion to disclose another party’s Confidential or Attorney’s 

Eyes Only information shall also promptly inform in writing the person who made the motion that

some or all of the material covered by the motion is the subject of this Stipulated Protective Order, 

and shall deliver a copy of this Stipulated Protective Order to the moving party. 

14.2 Furthermore, any person or party subject to this Stipulated Protective 

Order who is subject to a subpoena to disclose another party’s Confidential or Attorney’s Eyes 

Only information shall notify the producing party of the existence of the subpoena, in writing by 

facsimile, within three business days after receipt of the subpoena, and provide that party with a 

copy of the subpoena so that the party may have an opportunity to appear and be heard on whether 

such information should be disclosed. The person or party who is subject to a subpoena to 

disclose another party’s Confidential or Attorney’s Eyes Only information shall also promptly 

inform in writing the person who issued the subpoena that some or all of the material covered by 

the subpoena is the subject of this Stipulated Protective Order, and shall deliver a copy of this 

Stipulated Protective Order to the person issuing the subpoena.

14.3 The purpose of imposing duties pursuant to paragraphs 14.1 and 14.2 is 

to alert the interested parties to the existence of this Stipulated 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 information. 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. 

15. Inadvertent Disclosure Of Work Product Or Privileged Information: 

Procedure and Waiver. 

15.1 The producing party shall promptly notify the receiving party in writing 

in the event of an inadvertent production of documents subject to work product immunity or the 

attorney-client privilege after the producing party learns of such inadvertent production. Upon 

being notified by the producing party pursuant to this paragraph, counsel for the non-producing 

party shall use his or her best efforts to retrieve all copies of the documents at issue. The receiving

party shall return or destroy all copies of such documents within three (3) business days of such 

notice and certify such return or destruction in writing to the producing party. 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 subject to a claim of attorney-client 

privilege or work product immunity. Within three (3) business days of such certification, the 

producing party shall provide a privilege log that provides the basis upon which protection is 

claimed for the returned document. The receiving party shall not be in violation of this Stipulated 

Protective Order for disclosures made prior to receipt of notification.

15.2 Within three (3) business days after production of the privilege log, the 

parties shall confer to determine whether the receiving party challenges the inadvertence of the 

production or claims waiver of the privilege or immunity. If, after conferring, the parties are 

unable to reach a satisfactory agreement, the receiving party may move the Court regarding the 

matter within fifteen (15) business days. The fact or circumstances of such inadvertent production 

shall in no way be relied upon as a ground to support any argument that the information is no 

longer subject to the privilege or immunity. Nor shall such inadvertent production prejudice or 

otherwise constitute a waiver of, or estoppel as to, any claim of privilege, work product immunity 

or other ground for withholding production to which the designating party or other person 

otherwise would be entitled. 

15.3 No receiving party shall disclose or make any use of any information in 

the document for which the claim of immunity or privilege is being made, except as provided in 

paragraph 12, to any person, without leave of the Court. 

16. Inadvertent Failures to Designate. 

If timely corrected, an inadvertent failure to designate qualified information or items as 

Confidential or Attorney’s Eyes Only does not, standing alone, waive the designating party’s right 

to secure protection under this Stipulated Protective Order for such material. If material is 

appropriately designated Confidential or Attorney’s Eyes Only after the material was initially

produced, the receiving party, upon timely notice of the designation, must make reasonable efforts 

to recover and return the privileged material, and assure that the materials are treated in 

accordance with the provisions of this Stipulated Protective Order thereafter. 

17. Limits on Expert Discovery 

17.1 A testifying expert’s draft reports, notes, outlines, and any other writings 

leading up to his final report(s) in this case are exempt from discovery. In addition, all 

communications with, and all materials generated by, a testifying expert with respect to his work 

on this case are exempt from discovery unless relied upon by the expert in forming his opinions. 

The expert must produce his final report and all materials on which he relied. No documents 

exempt from discovery pursuant to this paragraph must be retained by the testifying expert. 

17.2 Paragraph 17.1 shall not apply to the results of any studies or tests, or any 

information of which the expert is aware, that is contrary to the conclusions reached in the report 

or that is contrary to the information relied on in the report. Such test results or information must 

be produced. 

18. Unauthorized Disclosure of Protected Material. 

If a party who receives material designated as Confidential or Attorney’s Eyes Only learns 

that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has disclosed such material to any person or in any 

circumstance not authorized by this Stipulated Protective Order, that party must immediately (1) 

notify in writing the producing party of the unauthorized disclosures; (2) use best efforts to 

retrieve all copies of the protected material; (3) inform the person or persons to whom 

unauthorized disclosures were made of all the terms of this Stipulated Protective Order; and (4) 

request such person or persons to execute the Confidentiality Undertaking attached hereto as 

Exhibit A.

19. Non-Party Material. 

The terms of this Stipulated Protective Order, as well as the terms of any protective order 

that may be entered into between a discovering party and third party for the production of 

information to the discovering party, are applicable to Confidential or Attorney’s Eyes Only 

information provided by a non-party. Information provided by a non-party in connection with this 

action and designated Confidential or Attorney’s Eyes Only, pursuant to the terms of this Order 

shall be protected by the remedies and relief provided by this Order. 

20. Return Of Designated Information. 

Within sixty (60) calendar days of the final termination of this action by unappealable 

judgment, exhaustion of all appeals or settlement, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by an 

attorney of record for the designating party, each party shall assemble and return, or certify 

destruction of, all materials containing information designated Confidential or Attorney’s Eyes 

Only, including all copies, extracts and summaries thereof, to the party from whom the designated 

material was obtained, except that (a) any documents or copies which contain, constitute or reflect 

attorney’s work product or attorney-client privilege communications and (b) archive copies of 

pleadings, motion papers, deposition, hearing and trial transcripts, correspondence, expert reports, 

and written discovery responses may be retained by counsel. As to electronic reports, summaries, 

databases or other documents that simply summarize or collect information from documents 

designated Confidential or Attorney’s Eyes Only, but do not contain other attorney work product 

or attorney-client communications, the receiving party shall delete all such electronic information. 

21. Waiver Or Termination Of Stipulated Protective Order. 

No part of the restrictions imposed by this Stipulated Protective Order may be waived or 

terminated, except by written stipulation executed by counsel of record for each designating party, 

or by an Order of the Court for good cause shown. The restrictions provided for herein shall not 

terminate upon the conclusion of this action, but shall continue until further Order of this Court.
