1. PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS 

Disclosure and discovery activity in this action are likely to involve production of 

confidential, proprietary, trade secret, or private information for which special protection from 

public disclosure and from use for any purpose other than prosecuting and defending this litigation 

may be warranted. Accordingly, the parties to this action, Plaintiff Antonio Tecson and Defendant 

Lyft, Inc., hereby stipulate to and petition the Court to enter the following Stipulated Protective 

Order (“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 from public disclosure 

and use extends only to the limited information or items that are entitled to confidential treatment 

under the applicable legal principles. The parties further acknowledge, as set forth in Section 13.3, 

below, that this Order does not entitle them to file confidential information under seal; Civil Local 

Rule 79-5 sets forth the procedures that must be followed and the standards that will be applied 

when a party seeks permission from the Court to file material under seal. 

2. DEFINITIONS 

2.1 Challenging Party: A Party or Non-Party that challenges the designation of 

information or items under this Order. 

2.2 “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items: Confidential or proprietary technical, 

scientific, financial, market, trade secret, business, private or personally identifying information 

which is not generally known or publicly available and which the Designating Party would not 

normally reveal to third parties or would cause third parties to maintain in confidence, or 

information, the present disclosure of which would, in the good-faith judgment of the Designating 

Party, be detrimental to the Designating Party in the conduct of its business. 

2.3 Counsel (without qualifier): Outside Counsel of Record and In-House Counsel (as 

well as their support staff). 

2.4 Designating Party: A Party or Non-Party that designates information or items that it 

produces in disclosures or in responses to discovery as “CONFIDENTIAL,” “HIGHLY 

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

CODE.”

2.5 Disclosure or Discovery Material: All items or information, regardless of the 

medium or manner in which it is generated, stored, or maintained (including, among other things, 

testimony, transcripts, and tangible things), that are produced or generated in disclosures or 

responses to discovery in this matter. 

2.6 Expert: A person with specialized knowledge or experience in a matter pertinent to 

the litigation who (1) has been retained by a Party or its counsel to serve as an expert witness or as 

a consultant in this action, (2) is not a past or current employee of a Party, (3) is not a past or current 

employee of a Party’s competitor and was not, and currently is not, engaged by any such competitor, 

and (4) at the time of retention, is not anticipated to become an employee of a Party or business 

competitor of a Party or to be engaged by such a competitor. 

2.7 “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” Information or 

Items: Extremely sensitive “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items, disclosure of which to 

another Party or Non-Party would create a substantial risk of serious harm that could not be avoided 

by less restrictive means. 

2.8 “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – SOURCE CODE” Information or Items: Extremely 

sensitive “Confidential Information or Items” representing computer code and associated 

comments and revision histories, formulas, engineering specifications, or schematics that define or 

otherwise describe in detail the algorithms or structure of software or hardware designs, disclosure 

of which to another Party or Non-Party would create a substantial risk of serious harm that could 

not be avoided by less restrictive means. 

2.9 In-House Counsel: Attorneys who are employees of a Party to this action. In-House 

Counsel does not include Outside Counsel of Record or any other outside counsel. 

2.10 Inadvertent Production Material: Disclosure or Discovery Material that is subject 

to a claim of attorney-client privilege, attorney work product protection, or any other applicable 

protection from discovery that is inadvertently produced or disclosed in this action. 

2.11 Non-Party: Any natural person, partnership, corporation, association, or other legal 

entity not named as a Party to this action.

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

“HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – SOURCE CODE.”

2.17 Receiving Party: A Party that receives Disclosure or Discovery Material from a 

Producing Party.

3. SCOPE 

The protections conferred by this Order cover not only Protected Material (as defined 

above), but also (1) any information copied or extracted from Protected Material; (2) all copies, 

excerpts, summaries, or compilations of Protected Material; and (3) any testimony, conversations, 

or presentations by Parties or their Counsel that might reveal Protected Material. However, the 

protections conferred by this Order do not cover the following information: (a) any information 

that is in the public domain at the time of disclosure to a Receiving Party or becomes part of the 

public domain after its disclosure to a Receiving Party as a result of publication not involving a 

violation of this Order, including becoming part of the public record through trial or otherwise; and 

(b) any information known to the Receiving Party prior to the disclosure or obtained by the 

Receiving Party in a lawful manner via a lawful source who obtained the information lawfully and 

under no obligation of confidentiality to the Designating Party. Any use of Protected Material at 

trial shall be governed by a separate agreement or order.

4. DURATION 

Even after final disposition 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. Final disposition shall be deemed to be the later of (1) dismissal of all claims 

and defenses in this action, with or without prejudice; and (2) final judgment herein after the 

completion and exhaustion of all appeals, rehearings, remands, trials, or reviews of this action, 

including the time limits for filing any motions or applications for extension of time pursuant to 

applicable law. After the final disposition of this action, this Court will retain jurisdiction to enforce 

the terms of this Order. 

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. To the extent it is practical to do so, the Designating Party must 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. The Parties must not make 

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 development process or to impose unnecessary 

expenses and burdens on other Parties). 

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 for the level of protection initially 

asserted, that Designating 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) below), or as otherwise stipulated or ordered, 

Case 4:18-cv-06782-YGR Document 31 Filed 05/09/19 Page 5 of 23

Disclosure or Discovery 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 (e.g., paper or electronic documents, 

but excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial proceedings), that the Producing 

Party affix the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ 

EYES ONLY” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – SOURCE CODE” to each page that contains 

protected material. If only a portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies for protection, 

the Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected portion(s) to the extent possible (e.g., 

by making appropriate markings in the margins).

A Party or Non-Party 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” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – SOURCE 

CODE”) to each page that contains Protected Material. If only a portion or portions of the material 

on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected 

portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins). For documents produced 

electronically in a format that includes separate pagination, to the extent practicable, the 

Designating Party must affix the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – 

ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – SOURCE CODE” to each 

electronic page of such documents that contains Protected Material. For documents produced in a 

format which does not lend itself to separate pagination, confidentiality shall be designated in a 

reasonable manner.

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

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

proceeding, all protected testimony. When it is impractical to identify separately each portion of 

testimony that is entitled to protection and it appears that different portions of the testimony may 

qualify for protection, the Designating Party may invoke on the record (before the deposition, 

hearing, or other proceeding is concluded) a right to have up to 21 days to identify the specific 

portions of the testimony as to which protection is sought and to specify the level of protection 

being asserted. Only those portions of the testimony that are appropriately designated for protection 

within the 21 days shall be covered by the provisions of this Order. Alternatively, a Designating 

Party may specify, at the deposition or up to 21 days afterwards if that period is properly invoked, 

that the entire transcript shall be treated as “CONFIDENTIAL,” “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – 

ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – SOURCE CODE.” 

Parties shall give the other Parties notice if they reasonably expect a deposition, 

hearing or other proceeding to include Protected Material so that the other Parties can ensure 

that only authorized individuals who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to 

Be Bound” (Exhibit A) are present at those proceedings. Parties shall act with caution at court 

hearings and conferences so as not to disclose Protected Material publicly without providing an 

opportunity for the Designating Party to be heard concerning, as appropriate, sealing the courtroom, 

sealing the transcript, or other relief. For court hearings and conferences, a Party shall provide at 

least 48 hours’ notice to the Designating Party before discussing, displaying, submitting as 

evidence, or otherwise entering into the record any Protected Material produced by the other Party. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, this advance-notice requirement shall not apply in 

circumstances where the Party could not have reasonably anticipated so using Protected Material 

at the court hearing or conference. The Designating Party may move to seal the Protected Material 

or for other relief either in writing or orally, either before or during the court hearing or conference.

The use of a document as an exhibit at a deposition shall not in any way affect its designation 

as “CONFIDENTIAL,” “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,” or 

“HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – SOURCE CODE.”

Transcripts containing Protected Material shall have an obvious legend on the title 

page that the transcript contains Protected Material, and the title page shall be followed by a 

list of all pages (including line numbers as appropriate) that have been designated as 

Protected Material and the level of protection being asserted by the Designating Party. The 

Designating Party shall inform the court reporter of these requirements. Any transcript that 

is prepared before the expiration of a 21-day period for designation shall be treated during 

that period as if it had been designated “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES 

ONLY” in its entirety unless otherwise agreed. After the expiration of that period, the 

transcript shall be treated only as actually designated. 

(c) for information produced in a form other than documentary form 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” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL 

– SOURCE CODE.” If only a portion or portions of the information or item warrant protection, 

the Producing Party, to the extent practicable, shall identify the protected portion(s) and specify the 

level of protection being asserted. 

5.3 Inadvertent Failures to Designate. An inadvertent failure to designate qualified 

information or items does not waive the Designating Party’s right to timely secure protection under 

this Order for such material. 

In the event that any document, material, or testimony that is subject to a 

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

“HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – SOURCE CODE” designation is inadvertently produced without 

such designation, the Producing Party that inadvertently produced the document shall give written 

notice of such inadvertent production, together with a further copy of the subject document, 

material, or testimony designated as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – 

ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – SOURCE CODE” (the 

“Inadvertent Production Notice”). Upon receipt of such Inadvertent Production Notice, the Party 

that received the inadvertently produced document, material, or testimony shall promptly destroy

the inadvertently produced document, material, or testimony and all copies thereof, or return such 

together with all copies of such documents, material, or testimony to counsel for the Producing 

Party and shall retain only the “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – 

ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – SOURCE CODE” designated 

documents, material, or testimony. Should the Receiving Party choose to destroy such 

inadvertently produced document, material, or testimony, the Receiving Party shall notify the 

Producing Party in writing of such destruction within 14 days of receipt of written notice of the 

inadvertent production. This provision is not intended to apply to any inadvertent production of 

any document, material, or testimony protected by attorney-client or work product privileges. 

6. CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS

6.1 Timing of Challenges. Any Party or Non-Party with standing to do so may 

challenge confidentiality designations at any time. Unless a prompt challenge to a Designating 

Party’s confidentiality designation is necessary to avoid foreseeable, substantial unfairness, 

unnecessary economic burdens, or a 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. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute resolution 

process by providing written notice of each designation it is challenging and describing the basis 

for each challenge. To avoid ambiguity as to whether a challenge has been made, the written notice 

must recite that the challenge to confidentiality is being made in accordance with this specific 

paragraph of this Order. The parties shall attempt to resolve each challenge in good faith and must 

begin the process by conferring directly within 14 days of the date of service of notice. 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 or establishes that 

the Designating Party is unwilling to participate in the meet and confer process in a timely manner.

6.3 Judicial Intervention. If the Parties cannot resolve a challenge without court 

intervention, the Parties shall follow the Court’s Standing Order in Civil Cases regarding Discovery 

and Discovery Motions. The Parties may file a joint letter brief regarding retaining confidentiality 

within 21 days of the initial notice of challenge or within 14 days of the Parties agreeing that the 

meet and confer process will not resolve their dispute, whichever is earlier. Failure by a 

Designating Party to file such discovery dispute letter within the applicable 21- or 14-day period 

(set forth above) with the Court shall automatically waive the confidentiality designation for each 

challenged designation. If, after submitting a joint letter brief, the Court allows that a motion may 

be filed, any such motion must be accompanied by a competent declaration affirming that the 

movant has complied with the meet and confer requirements imposed in the preceding paragraph. 

The Court, in its discretion, may elect to transfer the discovery matter to a magistrate judge. 

In addition, the Parties may file a joint letter brief regarding a challenge to a confidentiality 

designation at any time if there is good cause for doing so, including a challenge to the designation 

of a deposition transcript or any portions thereof. If, after submitting a joint letter brief, the Court 

allows that a motion may be filed, any motion brought pursuant to this provision must be 

accompanied by a competent declaration affirming that the movant has complied with the meet and 

confer requirements imposed by the preceding paragraph. The Court, in its discretion, may elect 

to refer the discovery matter to a Magistrate Judge. 

The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on the Designating 

Party. Frivolous challenges, and those made for an improper purpose (e.g., to harass or impose 

unnecessary expenses and burdens on other Parties) may expose the Challenging Party to sanctions. 

Unless the Designating Party has waived the confidentiality designation by failing to file a letter 

brief to retain confidentiality as described above, 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 until 

the Court rules on the challenge. 

7. ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL 

7.1 Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is disclosed or 

produced by another Party or by a Non-Party only in connection with this case and 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 15 

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. 

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, and as applicable, to:

(a) the Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of Record in this action, as well as 

employees of said Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably necessary to disclose the 

information for this litigation;

(b) the officers, directors, and employees (including In-House Counsel) of the 

Receiving Party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this litigation;

(c) an Expert of the Receiving Party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary 

for this litigation and who has signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit 

A);

(d) the Court and its personnel;

(e) court reporters and their staff, professional jury or trial consultants, and 

Professional Vendors to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this litigation and who have

(f) during their depositions, witnesses in the action to whom disclosure is

7.4 Procedures for Approving or Objecting to Disclosure of “HIGHLY 

CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” OR “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – SOURCE 

CODE” Information or Items to Experts. 

(a) Unless otherwise ordered by the Court or agreed to in writing by the 

Designating Party, a Party that seeks to disclose to an Expert (as defined in this Order) any 

information or item that has been designated “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES 

ONLY” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – SOURCE CODE” pursuant to paragraph 7.3(c) first 

must make a written request to the Designating Party that (1) indicates that the information that the 

Receiving Party seeks permission to disclose to the Expert is designated “CONFIDENTIAL” 

and/or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” and/or “HIGHLY 

CONFIDENTIAL – SOURCE CODE,”; (2) sets forth the full name of the Expert and the city and 

state of his or her primary residence, (3) attaches a copy of the Expert’s current resume, (4) 

identifies the Expert’s current employer(s), (5) identifies each person or entity from whom the 

Expert has received compensation or funding for work in his or her areas of expertise or to whom 

the Expert has provided professional services, including in connection with a litigation, at any time 

during the preceding five years and the party to the litigation for whom such work was done, (6) 

identifies (by name and number of the case, filing date, and location of court) any litigation in 

connection with which the Expert has offered expert testimony, including through a declaration, 

report, or testimony at a deposition or trial, during the preceding five years, and (7) identifies any 

patents or patent applications in which the Expert is identified as an inventor or applicant, is 

involved in prosecuting or maintaining, or has any pecuniary interest. With regard to the 

information sought through part (5) of this disclosure, if the Expert believes any of this information 

is subject to a confidentiality obligation to a third party, then the Expert should provide whatever 

information the Expert believes can be disclosed, without violating any confidentiality agreements, 

and the Party seeking to disclose to the Expert shall be available to meet and confer with the 

Designating Party regarding any such engagement. A Party that makes a request and provides the 

information specified in the preceding respective paragraphs may disclose the subject Protected 

Material to the identified Expert unless, within 7 days of delivering the request, the Party receives

a written objection from the Designating Party. Any such objection must set forth in detail the 

grounds on which it is based. 

(b) A Party that receives a timely written objection must meet and confer with 

the Designating Party to try to resolve the matter by agreement within seven days of the written 

objection. If no agreement is reached, the Party seeking to make the disclosure to the Expert must 

file a motion as provided in Civil Local Rule 7 (and in compliance with Civil Local Rule 79-5, if 

applicable) seeking permission from the Court to do so. Any such motion must describe the 

circumstances with specificity, set forth in detail the reasons why the disclosure to the Expert is 

reasonably necessary, assess the risk of harm that the disclosure would entail, and suggest any 

additional means that could be used to reduce that risk. In addition, any such motion must be 

accompanied by a competent declaration describing the parties’ efforts to resolve the matter by 

agreement (i.e., the extent and the content of the meet and confer discussions) and setting forth the 

reasons advanced by the Designating Party for its refusal to approve the disclosure. 

In any such proceeding, the Party opposing disclosure to the Expert shall bear the burden 

of proving that the risk of harm that the disclosure would entail (under the safeguards proposed) 

outweighs the Receiving Party’s need to disclose the Protected Material to its Expert. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, Disclosure or Discovery Material may be 

provided to an Expert only to the extent necessary for such Expert to prepare a written opinion, to 

prepare to testify, or to assist counsel or the Parties, provided that such Expert is using said 

Disclosure or Discovery Material solely in connection with this litigation, and further provided that 

such Expert has previously executed an undertaking in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, 

agreeing in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Order, consenting to the 

jurisdiction of this Court for purposes of enforcement of the terms of this Order, and agreeing not 

to disclose or use any Disclosure or Discovery Material for purposes other than those permitted 

hereunder. 

7.5 Custody of Executed Copies of “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” 

(Exhibit A) and Providing Copies to Other Party. As to each executed copy of an 

“Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A) required to be procured by a Party

under this Order, the procuring Party shall retain the original executed copy and shall produce a 

copy to the other Party upon court order. All such executed copies of Exhibit A shall themselves 

be treated as CONFIDENTIAL information. Notwithstanding any contrary language in this Order 

with respect to retaining CONFIDENTIAL information following final disposition of this action, 

each Party and its Outside Counsel of Record may retain executed copies of Exhibit A indefinitely. 

8. SOURCE CODE

8.1 To the extent production of source code becomes necessary in this case (and nothing 

in this Order shall be construed as reflecting or suggesting that source code is either necessary or 

appropriate for production in this matter), a Producing Party may designate source code as 

“HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL - SOURCE CODE” if it comprises or includes confidential, 

proprietary, or trade secret source code. 

8.2 Protected Material designated as “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – SOURCE CODE” 

shall be subject to all of the protections afforded to “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ 

EYES ONLY” information, and may be disclosed only to the individuals to whom “HIGHLY 

CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” information may be disclosed. 

8.3 Any Source Code produced in discovery shall be made available for inspection, in a 

format allowing it to be reasonably reviewed. In the event the relevant Source Code is produced in 

a format other than a paper format, the following applies: The computer containing Source Code 

will be made available upon reasonable notice to the Producing Party, which shall not be less than 

7 days in advance of the requested inspection. The Source Code shall be made available for 

inspection on a secured computer in a secured room without Internet access or network access to 

other computers, and the Receiving Party shall not copy, remove, or otherwise transfer any portion 

of the Source Code onto any recordable media or recordable device. The Receiving Party shall not 

bring a cellular telephone, laptop computer, or any recordable media or recordable device into the 

source code room. The Producing Party shall provide a backup secured computer within two 

business days in the event that the primary secured computer fails or otherwise suffers technical 

problems impeding the inspection. The Receiving Party may request that software tools for viewing 

and searching Source Code be installed on the secured computer. The Receiving Party must provide

the Producing Party with the CD or DVD containing the agreed upon software tool(s) at least four 

business days in advance of the inspection. The tools may not allow the Source Code to be compiled. 

The Receiving Party’s counsel or Experts shall be entitled to take notes relating to the Source Code 

but may not copy any portion of the Source Code into the notes. The Producing Party may visually 

monitor the activities of the Receiving Party’s representatives during any Source Code review, but 

only to ensure that there is no unauthorized recording, copying, or transmission of the Source Code. 

All persons viewing Source Code shall sign on each day they view Source Code a log that will 

includes the names of persons who enter the secured room to view the Source Code and when they 

enter and depart. 

8.4 The Receiving Party may request paper copies of limited portions of Source Code 

that are reasonably necessary to attach to filings, pleadings, expert reports, or other papers, or for 

use as an exhibit at deposition or trial. The Producing Party shall provide all such Source Code 

within 5 business days on non-copyable paper including bates numbers and the label “HIGHLY 

CONFIDENTIAL - SOURCE CODE.” The Producing Party may challenge the amount of Source 

Code requested in hard copy form pursuant to the dispute resolution procedure and timeframes set 

forth in Paragraph 6 whereby the Producing Party is the “Challenging Party” and the Receiving 

Party is the “Designating Party” for purposes of dispute resolution. In no case may the Receiving 

Party request more than 5 consecutive pages, or an aggregate of more than 50 pages, of Source 

Code during the duration of the case without prior written approval of the Producing Party. 

8.5 The Receiving Party shall maintain a record of any individual who has inspected 

any portion of the Source Code in electronic or paper form. The Receiving Party shall provide a 

copy of this record to the Producing Party upon court order. The Receiving Party shall maintain 

all paper copies of any printed portions of the Source Code in a secured, locked area. The Receiving 

Party shall not create any electronic or other images of the paper copies and shall not convert any 

of the information contained in the paper copies into any electronic format. The Receiving Party 

shall only make additional paper copies if such additional copies are (1) necessary to prepare court 

filings, pleadings, or other papers (including a testifying Expert’s expert report), (2) necessary for 

deposition, or (3) otherwise necessary for the preparation of its case. Any paper copies used during

a deposition shall be retrieved by the Producing Party at the end of each day and must not be given

9. PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED IN 

OTHER LITIGATION. If a Party is served with a subpoena or a court order issued in other 

litigation that compels disclosure of any information or items designated in this action as 

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

“HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – SOURCE CODE” that Party must: 

(a) promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification shall 

include a copy of the subpoena or court order; 

(b) promptly notify in writing the Party who caused the subpoena or order to 

issue in the other litigation that some or all of the material covered by the subpoena or order is 

subject to this Order. Such notification shall include a copy of this Order; and 

(c) cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be pursued by 

the Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected.

If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served with the 

subpoena or court order shall not produce any information designated in this action as 

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

“HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – SOURCE CODE” before a determination by the court from which 

the subpoena or order issued, unless the Party has obtained the Designating Party’s permission. 

The Designating Party shall bear the burden and expense 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. 

The provisions set forth herein are not intended to, and do not, restrict in any way the procedures 

set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 45(d)(3) or (f). 

10. A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE PRODUCED IN 

THIS LITIGATION 

10.1 The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by a Non-Party in 

this action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL –

ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – SOURCE CODE.” Such 

information produced by Non-Parties in connection with this litigation is protected by the remedies 

and relief provided by this Order. Nothing in these provisions should be construed as prohibiting 

a Non-Party from seeking additional protections. 

10.2 In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, to produce a NonParty’s confidential information in its possession, and the Party is subject to an agreement with the 

Non-Party not to produce the Non-Party’s confidential information, then the Party shall: 

(a) promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non-Party that some 

or all of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality agreement with a Non-Party;

(b) promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of this Order, the relevant 

discovery request(s), and a reasonably specific description of the information requested; and 

(c) make the information requested available for inspection by the Non-Party. 

10.3 If the Non-Party fails to object or seek a protective order from this Court within 21 

days of receiving the notice and accompanying information, the Receiving Party may produce the 

Non-Party’s confidential information responsive to the discovery request. If the Non-Party timely 

seeks a protective order, the Receiving Party shall not produce any information in its possession or 

control that is subject to the confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party before a determination 

by the Court. Absent a court order to the contrary, the Non-Party shall bear the burden and expense 

of seeking protection in this Court of its Protected Material. 

11. 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 Order, the Receiving Party 

must immediately (a) notify in writing the Designating Party of the unauthorized disclosures, (b) 

use its best efforts to retrieve all unauthorized copies of the Protected Material, (c) inform the person 

or persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the terms of this Order, and (d) 

request such person or persons to execute the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” that 

is attached hereto as Exhibit A. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this paragraph shall be 

construed as to limit a Designating Party’s rights or remedies relating to the unauthorized disclosure

of its Protected Material, or any injury resulting therefrom.

12. INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE 

PROTECTED MATERIAL 

12.1 Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 502(d), in the event that Inadvertent 

Production Material is produced or disclosed, such inadvertent production or disclosure shall in no 

way prejudice or otherwise constitute a waiver of, or estoppel as to, any claim of attorney-client 

privilege, attorney work product protection, or other applicable protection in this case or any other 

federal or state proceeding, provided that the Producing Party shall notify the Receiving Party in 

writing of such protection or privilege promptly after the Producing Party discovers such materials 

have been inadvertently produced. 

12.2 If a claim of inadvertent production is made, pursuant to this Order, with respect to 

Discovery Material then in the custody of another Party, that Party shall: (i) refrain from any further 

examination or disclosure of the claimed Inadvertent Production Material; (ii) promptly make a 

good-faith effort to return the claimed Inadvertent Production Material and all copies thereof 

(including summaries and excerpts) to counsel for the Producing Party, or destroy all such claimed 

Inadvertent Production Material (including summaries and excerpts) and certify in writing to that 

fact; and (iii) not disclose or use the claimed Inadvertent Production Material for any purpose until 

further order of the Court expressly authorizing such use. 

12.3 A Party may move the Court for an order compelling production of the Inadvertent 

Production Material on the ground that it is not, in fact, privileged or protected. The motion shall 

be filed under seal and shall not assert as a ground for entering such an order the fact or 

circumstance of the inadvertent production. Any effort to file under seal pursuant to this paragraph 

must comply with Civil Local Rule 79-5. The Producing Party retains the burden of establishing 

the privileged or protected nature of any inadvertently disclosed or produced information. While 

such a motion is pending, the Inadvertent Production Material at issue shall be treated in accordance 

with Paragraph 12.2 above. 

If a Party, in reviewing Disclosure or Discovery Material it has received from any other Party 

or any non-Party, finds anything the reviewing Party believes in good faith may be Inadvertent

Production Material, the reviewing Party shall: (i) refrain from any further examination or disclosure 

of the potentially Inadvertent Production Material; (ii) promptly identify the material in question to 

the Producing Party (by document number or other equally precise description); and (iii) give the 

Producing Party seven (7) days to respond as to whether the Producing Party will make a claim of 

inadvertent production. If the Producing Party makes such a claim, the provisions of Paragraphs 

12.1-12.2 above shall apply. 

13. MISCELLANEOUS 

13.1 Right to Further Relief. Nothing in this Order abridges the right of any person to 

seek its modification by the Court in the future. 

13.2 Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of this Order, no Party 

waives any right it otherwise would have to object to disclosing or producing any information or 

item on any ground not addressed in this Order. 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. 

13.3 Filing Protected Material. Without written permission from the Designating Party 

or a court order secured after appropriate notice to all interested persons, a Party may not file in the 

public record in this action any Protected Material. A Party that seeks to file under seal any 

Protected Material must comply with Civil Local Rule 79-5. Protected Material may only be filed 

under seal pursuant to a court order authorizing the sealing of the specific Protected Material at 

issue. Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 79-5, a sealing order will issue only upon a request establishing 

that the Protected Material at issue is privileged, protectable as a trade secret, or otherwise entitled 

to protection under the law. If a Receiving Party’s request to file Protected Material under seal 

pursuant to Civil Local Rule 79-5(d) is denied by the Court, then the Receiving Party may file the 

Protected Material in the public record pursuant to Civil Local Rule 79-5(e) unless otherwise 

instructed by the Court. If a Receiving Party believes that only a portion of Designated Material is 

Protected Material, the Receiving Party and Producing Party shall meet and confer in good faith 

concerning the redaction of only the Protected Material prior to filing with the Court.

13.4 Right to Seek Further Protection. Nothing in this Order shall be construed to 

preclude any Party from asserting in good faith that certain Protected Materials require additional 

protections. The Parties shall meet and confer to agree upon the terms of such additional protection. 

13.5 Additional Signatories. Any Party or Non-Party to this Proceeding who has not 

executed this Order as of the time it is presented to the Court for signature may thereafter become 

a Party to this Order by its counsel’s signing and dating a copy thereof and filing the same with the 

Court, and serving copies of such signed and dated copy upon the other Parties to this Order. 

14. PROSECUTION BAR. Absent written consent from the Producing Party, any individual 

who receives access to “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” or 

“HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – SOURCE CODE” information of the opposing Party shall not be 

involved in the prosecution of patents or patent applications relating to the subject matter of the 

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

SOURCE CODE” information he or she received before any foreign or domestic agency, including 

the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“the Patent Office”). For purposes of this 

paragraph, “prosecution” includes directly or indirectly drafting, amending, advising, or otherwise 

affecting the scope or maintenance of patent claims. Prosecution includes, for example, original 

prosecution, reissue, and reexamination and other post-grant proceedings. To avoid any doubt, 

“prosecution” as used in this paragraph does not include representing a party challenging a patent 

before a domestic or foreign agency (including, but not limited to, a reissue protest, ex parte 

reexamination or inter partes reexamination). This Prosecution Bar shall begin when access to 

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

SOURCE CODE” information is first received by the affected individual and shall end two (2) 

years after final termination of this action. 

15. FINAL DISPOSITION. Within 60 days after the final disposition of this action, as defined 

in paragraph 4, each Receiving Party must return all Protected Material to the Producing Party or 

destroy such material. As used in this subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes all copies, 

abstracts, compilations, summaries, and any other format reproducing or capturing any of the 

Protected Material. Whether the Protected Material is returned or destroyed, and upon request by

the Producing Party, the Receiving Party must submit a written certification to the Producing Party 

(and, if not the same person or entity, to the Designating Party) by the 60 day deadline that (1) 

identifies (by category, where appropriate) all the Protected Material that was returned or destroyed 

and (2) affirms that the Receiving Party has not retained any copies, abstracts, compilations, 

summaries or any other format reproducing or capturing any of the Protected Material. 

Notwithstanding this provision, Counsel are entitled to retain an archival copy of all pleadings, 

motion papers, trial, deposition, and hearing transcripts, legal memoranda, correspondence,
