(j) “CONFIDENTIAL” Litigation Material shall mean Litigation Material

fall into one or more of the following categories: (i) business plans; (ii) product development;

(iii) business development; (iv) technical specifications; (vi) trade secrets; (vii) confidential 

pricing, marketing and sales information; or (viii) any information which affords the Designating 

Party an actual or potential economic advantage over others.

(l) “Protected Material” shall mean any Litigation Material that is designated 

as “CONFIDENTIAL” or as “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL: ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.” 4. DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL. (a) Each party or non-party that designates Litigation Material for protection 

under this Order must take care to limit any such designation to specific material that qualifies 

under the appropriate standards.

(b) Mass indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited. A 

Producing Party shall not designate Litigation Material for protection under this Order where such 

designation is clearly unjustified or is 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).

(c) If it comes to a Party’s or non-party’s attention that Litigation Material that 

it designated for protection does not qualify for protection at all, or does 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.

(d) Timing and Manner of Designations: Except as otherwise provided in this 

Stipulated Protective Order (see, e.g., Paragraph 4(e) and Paragraph 12), or as otherwise 

stipulated or ordered by the Court, Litigation Material that qualifies for protection under this 

Order must be clearly so designated before the material is disclosed, generated, or produced. 

Designation in conformity with this Order requires:

(i) The Producing Party shall affix the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” or 

“HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL: ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,” as 

appropriate, on each page that contains Protected Material. If any 

Protected Material cannot be labeled with the aforementioned markings, it

shall be placed in a sealed envelope or other container that is in turn 

marked “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL: 

ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,” as appropriate. (ii) When producing electronic files, the Designating Party shall append 

to file names or designators information indicating whether the file 

contains Litigation Material designated as CONFIDENTIAL or HIGHLY 

CONFIDENTIAL: ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY. When electronic files 

or documents are printed for use at deposition, in a court proceeding, or for 

provision to a Qualified Consultant or Qualified Expert under this Order in 

printed form, the printing Party shall affix a legend to the printed document 

corresponding to the designation of the Designating Party. 

(iii) For information produced in some form other than documentary, 

and for any other tangible items, the Producing Party shall affix in a 

prominent place on the exterior of the container or containers in which the 

information or item is stored the designation “CONFIDENTIAL” or 

“HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL: ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.” (iv) A Party or non-party that makes original Litigation Material

available for inspection need not designate such material for protection 

until after the inspecting Party has indicated which material it seeks to be 

copied and produced. During the inspection and before the designation, all 

of the Litigation Material made available for inspection shall be deemed 

HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL: ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY. After the 

inspecting Party has identified the material to be copied and produced, the 

Producing Party must determine what Litigation Material, or portions 

thereof, qualifies for protection under this Order, and so designate the 

specified Litigation Material before production, in accordance with the 

provisions of this Order.

(v) An exhibit to a deposition shall be treated in accordance with the 

confidentiality designation already given to it or, if the exhibit has not been 

previously produced, given to it on the record at the time of the deposition. 

The designation or de-designation of a deposition transcript as 

“CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL: ATTORNEYS’ 

EYES ONLY” shall not affect the confidentiality status of exhibits 

presented at the deposition.

(e) Inadvertent Failure to Designate: (i) If a Producing Party inadvertently fails to designate Litigation 

Material as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL: 

ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,” such failure shall not constitute a waiver of 

a claim of confidentiality or of the Producing Party’s right to so designate 

such Litigation Material. (ii) In the event that such an inadvertent failure occurs, the Producing 

Party shall, upon discovery of the error, promptly notify in writing all 

parties known to have received the Litigation Material in question, and 

provide them with appropriately marked substitute copies of the affected 

Litigation Material. Until a Receiving Party receives such notification, any 

disclosure made by that party of the Litigation Material to those not 

permitted by this Order to have access had the Litigation Material been so 

designated, shall not constitute a violation of this Order. 

(iii) Within fourteen days of such notice and receipt of substitute copies 

bearing the appropriate confidentiality marking, the Receiving Party shall 

return or destroy (at the Producing Party’s option) all copies of incorrectly 

labeled Litigation Material and shall not retain copies thereof or shall raise 

this matter with the Court and request an Order permitting the Receiving 

Party to retain the originally disclosed Litigation Material.

(iv) Unless the Receiving Party is opposing the return or destruction of 

the incorrectly labeled Litigation Material, the Receiving Party also shall 

use good faith efforts to arrange for the return or destruction of said 

Litigation Material from parties and individuals to whom it may have 

distributed the Litigation Material in question but who were not authorized 

to receive Protected Material under this Stipulated Protective Order.

(v) If the Receiving Party opposes the return or destruction of the 

Litigation Material in question, it shall, after receiving notice from the 

Producing Party, nonetheless use good faith efforts to avoid any further 

distribution of the Litigation Material in question to unauthorized parties or 

individuals, pending resolution of the issue by the Court. 

(vi) If the Receiving Party is unable to arrange for the return or 

destruction of the Litigation Material in question from unauthorized parties 

or individuals, the Receiving Party shall notify the Producing Party within 

fourteen days of notice from the Producing Party of the identity of such 

unauthorized parties or individuals and the efforts made to secure the return 

or destruction of the Litigation Material in question. (vii) Upon the re-designation of Litigation Material under this paragraph, 

upon agreement of the parties, or by court order, said information shall 

thereafter be treated as CONFIDENTIAL or HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL: 

ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY, as designated by the Producing Party.

5. PROCEDURE FOR CHALLENGING DESIGNATIONS. (a) The designation of Litigation Material as “CONFIDENTIAL” or 

“HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL: ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” may be challenged, among other 

reasons, because: (i) the Litigation Material is or comes to be publicly disclosed in a printed 

publication, (ii) the Litigation Material is or comes to be generally publicly known, or (iii) the 

Litigation Material is or comes to be otherwise known to the Parties without any breach of the 

confidentiality obligations hereunder. Any disclosure of Protected Material under this Order shall

not serve as a basis for challenging the confidentiality designation of the Litigation Material in 

question.

(b) At any time prior to the final pretrial conference in this Action, any Party 

may, in good faith, object to the designation or redesignation of any Litigation Material as 

Protected Material by providing counsel for the Designating Party with written notice of the 

reasons for its objection. The Designating Party shall, within fourteen (14) calendar days after 

receiving such written notice, advise the objecting party, in writing, of the basis for its 

designation. Within ten (10) calendar days thereafter, the parties shall confer in a good-faith 

effort to resolve the matter. Failing such resolution, the Party objecting to the designation may 

apply to the Court for an order removing the “CONFIDENTIAL” or the “HIGHLY 

CONFIDENTIAL: ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” designation from the Litigation Material in 

question.

(c) A Party that elects to assert 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 that sets

forth with specificity the justification for the confidentiality designation that was given by the 

Designating Party in the meet and confer dialogue.

(d) The Designating Party shall have the burden of establishing the propriety 

of the “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL: ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” designation. 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 Designating Party’s 

designation.

(e) Notwithstanding any objection to the designation of Litigation Material as “CONFIDENTIAL” or as “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL: ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,” Litigation Material shall be treated as designated under this Order unless and until one of the

following occurs: (i) the Designating Party changes or removes the confidentiality designation in 

writing; or (ii) the Court orders the Designating Party to change or remove such designation. 

6. ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL. (a) All Protected Material shall be used solely for the purposes of preparation, 

trial, and appeal of this Action, and for no other purpose, absent further order of the Court. 

Protected Material may be disclosed only to the categories of persons and under the conditions 

described in this Order. When the litigation has terminated, a Receiving Party must comply with 

the provisions of Paragraph 22 below (“SURVIVAL OF OBLIGATIONS”). All Protected 

Material shall be carefully maintained by the Receiving Party in secure facilities and access to 

such Protected Material shall be permitted only to persons having access thereto under the terms 

of this Order. 

(b) Litigation Material designated as “CONFIDENTIAL” shall only be made 

available, and the contents thereof disclosed, to Qualified Persons, as defined in Paragraph 3(h)

herein, and only if the requirements set forth in Paragraph 7 (and Paragraph 9, if applicable) have 

been met.

(c) Litigation Material designated as “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL: 

ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” shall only be made available, and the contents thereof disclosed, 

to Specially Qualified Persons, as defined in Paragraph 3(i) herein, and only if the requirements 

set forth in Paragraph 7 (and Paragraphs 8 and/or 9, if applicable) have been met.

(d) Should a Receiving Party learn that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has 

disclosed Protected Material to any person or in any circumstances not authorized under this 

Stipulated Protective Order, the Receiving Party must immediately: (i) notify in writing the 

Designating Party of the Protected Material disclosed and the identity of the party to whom it was 

disclosed; (ii) use its best efforts to retrieve all copies of the Protected Material; (iii) inform the 

person or persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the terms of this Order; and

(iv) request such person or persons to execute an Agreement to Abide by Stipulated Protective 

Order, attached hereto as Exhibit A. The executed Agreement to Abide by Protective Order shall 

be provided to the Designating Party.

(e) If a Receiving Party is served with a subpoena or an order issued in other 

litigation that would compel disclosure of any Protected Material, the Receiving Party must so 

notify the Designating Party, in writing immediately and in any event not more than three court 

days after learning that the subpoena or order will compel disclosure of any Protected Material. 

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 

Stipulated 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 Stipulated Protective Order and to afford the Designating Party in this case an 

opportunity to protect its confidentiality interests in the court from which the subpoena or order 

issued. The Designating Party shall bear the burden and the 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.

7. AGREEMENT BY QUALIFIED PERSONS AND SPECIALLY QUALIFIED 

PERSONS TO ABIDE BY STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER. (a) Except as provided in Paragraphs 7(b) and 7(c) of this Order, Litigation 

Material designated as CONFIDENTIAL shall not be made available to any Qualified Person, nor 

shall Litigation Material designated as HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL: ATTORNEYS’ EYES 

ONLY be made available to any Specially Qualified Person, unless such Qualified Person or 

Specially Qualified Person has first read this Stipulated Protective Order and has agreed in 

writing (i) to be bound by the Order’s terms, (ii) to maintain the confidentiality of the Protected 

Material and not to use or disclose the Litigation Material to anyone other than as provided 

herein, and (iii) to utilize such Protected Material solely for the purpose of this Action (as 

evidenced by signing an Agreement to Abide by Stipulated Protective Order, in the form set forth 

in Exhibit A, B, or C, attached hereto, as applicable).

(b) The Court and other individuals set forth in Paragraph 3(h)(vii) need not 

sign an Agreement to Abide by Stipulated Protective Order.

(c) Counsel for a Party obtaining an Agreement to Abide by Stipulated 

Protective Order shall retain a copy of that Agreement during the course of this Action until the

terminated. The provisions of this Stipulated Protective Order, however, shall otherwise remain 

in full force and effect as to such Qualified Person or Specially Qualified Person. 8. APPROVAL OF PROPOSED SPECIALLY QUALIFIED PERSONS.

(a) A person, other than those identified in Paragraph 3(i), shall become a 

Specially Qualified Person as to a particular Producing Party and may receive Litigation Material 

designated as HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL: ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY of that Producing 

Party only after the following conditions have been satisfied: (i) the proposed Specially Qualified 

Person has executed an Agreement to Abide by Stipulated Protective Order in the form attached 

hereto as Exhibit A; (ii) the executed Agreement has been provided to the Producing Party; and

(iii) either the Producing Party has approved of the proposed Specially Qualified Person pursuant 

to this Paragraph 8 and/or Paragraph 9 of this Order, or the Court has ruled on an application by 

the Receiving Party that the proposed Specially Qualified Person may receive Litigation Material 

designated as HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL: ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY. (b) A Producing Party shall have fourteen (14) calendar days from the date of 

facsimile or electronic mail service of the executed Agreement served pursuant to Paragraph

8(a)(ii), plus three (3) additional calendar days if service is made by mail, to object to a proposed 

Specially Qualified Person. Such objection must be for good cause, stating with particularity the 

reasons for the objection, and must be in writing served on all Parties. Failure to object within the

purpose of receiving Protected Material, a Qualified Consultant or Qualified Expert, as the case

facsimile or electronic mail service of the materials and information served pursuant to Paragraph

9(a), plus three (3) additional calendar days if service is made by mail, to object to a proposed 

Qualified Consultant or Qualified Expert. Such objection must be for good cause, stating with

may 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 for which the disclosure to the 

proposed Qualified Consultant or Qualified Expert is reasonably necessary, assess the risk of 

harm that the disclosure would entail and suggest any additional means that might be used to 

reduce that risk. In addition, any such motion must be accompanied by a competent declaration 

in which the movant describes the parties’ efforts to resolve the matter by agreement (i.e., the 

extent and the content of the meet and confer discussions) and must set forth the reasons 

advanced by the Producing Party for its refusal to approve the disclosure.

(d) The objecting Producing Party shall have the burden of demonstrating by a 

preponderance of the evidence that the proposed Qualified Consultant or Qualified Expert should 

not be permitted to receive Litigation Material designated as CONFIDENTIAL or HIGHLY 

CONFIDENTIAL: ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY. (e) A consultant or expert deemed as “Qualified” under this Order is deemed 

qualified solely for the purpose of disclosure of Protected Material under the provisions of this 

Order and being so qualified shall have no bearing or relevance as to whether the proposed 

consultant or expert is qualified as an expert in his or her purported field or as to the subject of his 

or her retention. Nothing in the Order shall prejudice the right of any Party to object to the 

qualifications of any proposed consultant of expert to render expert testimony in this Action, or to 

make any other appropriate objection. 10. LIMITED DISCLOSURE TO PARTIES WITH PRIOR ACCESS. Nothing 

herein shall prevent the disclosure of any Protected Material to any of the following:

(a) any current employee of the Producing Party;

(b) any former employee of the Producing Party if the Protected Material

originated with, or was sent to, the former employee during the term of employment of the former 

employee, as evidenced by the identification of the former employee as an author, recipient, or 

copyee on the face of the Protected Material. 

^

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 proposed Qualified Consultant or Qualified Expert.

11. LIMITED DISCLOSURE TO TESTIFYING WITNESSES. Protected 

Material may be made available, or the contents thereof disclosed, to witnesses testifying at trial 

or at deposition, or who provide an affidavit or certification, only if:

(a) in the case of a document, it appears that the witness has previously seen or 

received the Protected Material contained therein, either because the document identifies the 

witness as an author, recipient, or copyee, or because the document comes from the files of the 

witness;

(b) the Counsel disclosing such Protected Material has a reasonable, good-faith 

belief based upon the witness’s testimony or the testimony of other witnesses that the witness has 

had previous access to the Protected Material;

(c) the Producing Party agrees in writing that the witness may have access to 

the Protected Material for purposes of his or her testimony at trial and/or at deposition; or 

(d) the witness is employed by or affiliated with the Producing Party.

If the basis of the disclosure is (a) or (b) above, then immediately after the disclosure, Counsel 

disclosing such Protected Material must make an inquiry with respect to the witness’s previous 

access to such information, and if it becomes apparent on such inquiry that the witness has not 

had previous access to the Protected Material, the item shall be withdrawn and no further inquiry 

regarding the Protected Material shall be permitted. Any witness testifying at trial or at 

deposition or who provides an affidavit or certification, or his or her counsel, who receives 

Protected Material shall not reveal or discuss the contents of that Protected Material to or with 

any person who is not entitled to receive such material pursuant to this Stipulated Protective 

Order.

12. DESIGNATION OF TESTIMONY. A Party or non-party may designate 

information and/or exhibits disclosed during a deposition as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY 

CONFIDENTIAL: ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” by so indicating on the record. A Party or 

non-party may also designate in writing, within twenty (20) calendar days of the receipt of the 

transcript (the “Designation Period”), specific pages of the transcript to be treated as 

CONFIDENTIAL or as HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL: ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY. Until the

arrangements shall be made with the court reporter by the Designating Party to label the relevant 

pages as so designated. 13. ATTENDANCE AT DEPOSITIONS. During depositions of any Party or non- party, a Party or non-party claiming that information and/or exhibits to be disclosed or upon 

which questions may be based is Protected Material may exclude from the room any person who 

is not a Qualified Person or Specially Qualified Person, as appropriate under this Order.

Producing 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 Litigation Material designated as 

CONFIDENTIAL or HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL: ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY. Requests by

any Party to file such Protected Material under seal shall be governed by Civil Local Rule 79-5.

However, should the need arise during the trial or during any hearing in open court for the Parties 

to disclose Protected Material, such disclosure may only be made after the Designating Party has

the jury that a Designating Party acted wrongfully in designating material as Protected Material. 16. APPLICABILITY OF STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER TO NON- PARTIES. Any non-party, whether an individual or entity, from whom discovery is sought may 

obtain the protection of this Order by written request to the Party seeking such discovery.

request the protection of this Order. 

18. NO WAIVER. (a) Nothing in this Order shall prejudice the right of any Party to object to the 

production of Litigation Material upon any appropriate ground, including any applicable 

privilege, and nothing herein shall be construed as a waiver of such right. Moreover, nothing in 

this Order shall prejudice the right of any Party to object to the admissibility at trial of any 

Litigation Material, purported expert testimony, or other evidentiary material on any appropriate 

ground, and nothing herein shall be construed as a waiver of such right.

confidentiality of the Protected Material. 20. DISCLOSURES BEYOND STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER. Nothing 

in this Order shall prevent disclosure beyond the terms of this Order: (i) if the Designating Party 

consents to such disclosure; (ii) if the Court, after notice to all affected persons, allows such 

disclosure; or (iii) if the Party to whom Protected Material has been produced thereafter becomes 

obligated to disclose the information in response to a lawful subpoena or other legal process,

Party and permits counsel for that party at least fourteen (14) calendar days from receipt of the 

written notice to intervene and seek judicial protection from the enforcement of the subpoena 

and/or entry of an appropriate protective order in the action in which the subpoena was issued.
