IN RE:

LITHIUM ION BATTERIES ANTITRUST 

LITIGATION

Case No. 13-md-02420-YGR (DMR)

ORDER RE PROPOSED PROTECTIVE 

ORDER

Re: Dkt. No. 824

The court has received the proposed stipulated protective order filed on September 8, 2015

related to Microsoft Mobile Inc. and Microsoft Mobile Oy v. LG Chem America, Inc., et al. 

[Docket No. 824 (“Microsoft protective order”).] It is not clear how the Microsoft protective 

order relates to the stipulated protective order already in place in this matter. [See Docket No. 193

(“original protective order”).] For example, it is not clear whether the Microsoft protective order 

covers different parties or contains different substantive provisions from those in the original 

protective order. The court is concerned about the potential for confusion caused by multiple 

operative protective orders. Therefore, by no later than September 28, 2015, the parties who 

negotiated the Microsoft protective order shall submit a redlined version of the proposed 

protective order which shows the differences between the Microsoft protective order and the 

original protective order. The parties shall also file a joint statement explaining which parties 

would be covered by the Microsoft protective order, describing the differences between the two 

protective orders, and explaining why such changes are necessary.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: September 14, 2015
