[PROPOSED] STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

1. PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS

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

confidential, proprietary, or private information for which special protection from public 

disclosure and from use for any purpose other than prosecuting this litigation would be warranted. 

Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to and petition the court to enter the following Stipulated 

Protective Order. The parties acknowledge that this Order does not confer blanket protections on 

all disclosures or responses to discovery and that the protection it affords extends only to the 

limited information or items that are entitled under the applicable legal principles to treatment as 

confidential. The parties further acknowledge, as set forth in Section 10, below, that this 

Stipulated Protective Order creates no entitlement to file confidential information under seal; Civil 

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

be applied when a party seeks permission from the court to file material under seal.

2. DEFINITIONS

2.1 Party: any party to this action, including all of its officers, directors, employees, 

consultants, retained experts, and outside counsel (and their support staff). 

2.2 Disclosure or Discovery Material: all items or information, regardless of the 

medium or manner generated, stored, or maintained (including, among other things, testimony, 

transcripts, or tangible things) that are produced or generated in disclosures or responses to 

discovery in this matter.

2.3 “Confidential” Information or Items: information (regardless of how generated, 

stored or maintained) or tangible things that qualify for protection under standards developed 

under Fed. R. Civ. Pro. 26(c).

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

sensitive “Confidential Information or Items” whose disclosure to another Party or non-party 

would create a substantial risk of serious injury that could not be avoided by less restrictive means.

2.5 Receiving Party: a Party that receives Disclosure or Discovery Material from a

Producing Party.

2.6 Producing Party: a Party or non-party that produces Disclosure or Discovery 

Material in this action.

2.7. Designating Party: a Party or non-party that designates information or items that it 

produces in disclosures or in responses to discovery as “Confidential” or “Highly Confidential —

Attorneys’ Eyes Only.”

2.8 Protected Material: any Disclosure or Discovery Material that is designated as 

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

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

to represent or advise a Party in this action. 

2.10 House Counsel: attorneys who are employees of a Party.

2.11 Counsel (without qualifier): Outside Counsel and House Counsel (as well as their 

support staffs).

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

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

consultant in this action and who is not a past or a current employee of a Party or of a competitor 

of a Party and who, at the time of retention, is not anticipated to become an employee of a Party or 

a competitor of a Party. This definition includes a professional jury or trial consultant retained in 

connection with this litigation. 

2.13 Professional Vendors: persons or entities that provide litigation support services 

(e.g., photocopying; videotaping; translating; preparing exhibits or demonstrations; organizing, 

storing, retrieving data in any form or medium; etc.) and their employees and subcontractors.

3. SCOPE 

The protections conferred by this Stipulation and Order cover not only Protected Material 

(as defined above), but also any information copied or extracted therefrom, as well as all copies, 

excerpts, summaries, or compilations thereof, plus testimony, conversations, or presentations by 

parties or counsel to or in court or in other settings that might reveal Protected Material.

[PROPOSED] STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

4. DURATION

Even after the termination of this litigation, the confidentiality obligations imposed by this 

Order shall remain in effect until a Designating Party agrees otherwise in writing or a court order 

otherwise directs.

5. DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL

5.1 Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection. Each Party 

or non-party that designates information or items for protection under this Order must take care to 

limit any such designation to specific material that qualifies under the appropriate standards. A 

Designating Party must take care to designate for protection only those parts of material, 

documents, items, or oral or written communications that qualify – so that other portions of the 

material, documents, items, or communications for which protection is not warranted are not 

swept unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order. 

Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations that are 

shown to be clearly unjustified, or that have been made for an improper purpose (e.g., to 

unnecessarily encumber or retard the case development process, or to impose unnecessary 

expenses and burdens on other parties), expose the Designating Party to sanctions.

If it comes to a Party’s or a non-party’s attention that information or items that it 

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

protection initially asserted, that Party or non-party must promptly notify all other parties that it is 

withdrawing the mistaken designation

5.2 Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in this Order 

(see, e.g., second paragraph of section 5.2(a) below), or as otherwise stipulated or ordered, 

material that qualifies for protection under this Order must be clearly so designated before the 

material is disclosed or produced. 

Designation in conformity with this Order requires: 

(a) for information in documentary form (apart from transcripts of depositions or 

other pretrial or trial proceedings), that the Producing Party affix the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” 

or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” on 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) and must specify, for each portion, the level of protection being asserted 

(either “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY”).

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”) on 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) and must specify, for each portion, the level of protection being asserted 

(either “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY”). 

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

the Party or non-party offering or sponsoring the testimony identify on the record, before the close 

of the deposition, hearing, or other proceeding, all protected testimony, and further specify any 

portions of the testimony that qualify as “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES 

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

protection, and when it appears that substantial portions of the testimony may qualify for 

protection, the Party or non-party that sponsors, offers, or gives the testimony may invoke on the 

record (before the deposition or proceeding is concluded) a right to have up to twenty (20) days to 

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

level of protection being asserted (“CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL –

ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY”). Only those portions of the testimony that are appropriately

designated for protection within the twenty (20) days shall be covered by the provisions of this 

Stipulated Protective Order. 

Transcript pages containing Protected Material must be separately bound by the court 

reporter, who must affix on each such page the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY 

CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,” as instructed by the Party or non-party 

offering or sponsoring the witness or presenting the testimony. 

(c) for information produced in some form other than documentary, and for any 

other tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on the exterior of the 

container or containers in which the information or item is stored the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” 

or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.” If only portions of the 

information or item warrant protection, the Producing Party, to the extent practicable, shall 

identify the protected portions, specifying whether they qualify as “Confidential” or as “Highly 

Confidential – Attorneys’ Eyes Only.” 

5.3 Inadvertent Failures to Designate. Notwithstanding Section 5.2 above, if timely 

corrected, an inadvertent failure to designate qualified information or items as “Confidential” or 

“Highly Confidential – Attorneys’ Eyes Only” does not, standing alone, waive the Designating 

Party’s right to secure protection under this Order for such material. If material is appropriately 

designated as “Confidential” or “Highly Confidential – Attorneys’ Eyes Only” after the material 

was initially produced, the Receiving Party, on timely notification of the designation, must make 

reasonable efforts to assure that the material is treated in accordance with the provisions of this 

Order. 

6. CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS

6.1 Timing of Challenges. Unless a prompt challenge to a Designating Party’s 

confidentiality designation is necessary to avoid foreseeable substantial unfairness, unnecessary 

economic burdens, or a later significant disruption or delay of the litigation, a Party does not 

waive its right to challenge a confidentiality designation by electing not to mount a challenge 

promptly after the original designation is disclosed.

[PROPOSED] STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

6.2 Meet and Confer. A Party that elects to initiate a challenge to a Designating 

Party’s confidentiality designation must do so in good faith and must begin the process by 

conferring directly (in voice to voice dialogue; other forms of communication are not sufficient)

with counsel for the Designating Party. In conferring, the challenging Party must explain the basis 

for its belief that the confidentiality designation was not proper and must give the Designating 

Party an opportunity to review the designated material, to reconsider the circumstances, and, if no

change in designation is offered, to explain the basis for the chosen designation. A challenging 

Party may proceed to the next stage of the challenge process only if it has engaged in this meet 

and confer process first.

6.3 Judicial Intervention. A Party that elects to press a challenge to a confidentiality 

designation after considering the justification offered by the Designating Party may file and serve 

a motion under Civil Local Rule 7 (and in compliance with Civil Local Rule 79-5, if applicable) 

that identifies the challenged material and sets forth in detail the basis for the challenge. Each 

such motion must be accompanied by a competent declaration that affirms that the movant has 

complied with the meet and confer requirements imposed in the preceding paragraph, and that sets 

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

Designating Party in the meet and confer dialogue. The burden of persuasion in any such 

challenge proceeding shall be on the Designating Party. Until the court rules on the challenge, all 

parties shall continue to afford the material in question the level of protection to which it is 

entitled under the Producing Party’s designation. 

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 in connection with this case only for prosecuting, 

defending, or attempting to settle pending litigation involving the parties, including this action, as 

well as Intematix v. Symyx, et al., (Alameda County Superior Court, Case No., RG 06273044). 

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

conditions described in this Order. When the pending litigations have been terminated, a 

Receiving Party must comply with the provisions of section 11, below (FINAL DISPOSITION).

Protected Material must be stored and maintained by a Receiving Party at a location and in 

a secure manner that ensures that access is limited to the persons authorized under this Order.

7.2 Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items. Unless otherwise ordered 

by the court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party, a Receiving Party may disclose any 

information or item designated CONFIDENTIAL only to: 

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

employees of said Counsel to whom it is reasonably necessary to disclose the information for this 

litigation;

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

Receiving Party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this litigation and who have 

signed the “Agreement to Be Bound by Protective Order” (Exhibit A);

(c) Experts (as defined in this Order) of the Receiving Party to whom disclosure is 

reasonably necessary for this litigation and who have signed the “Agreement to Be Bound by 

Protective Order” (Exhibit A); 

(d) the Court and its personnel; 

(e) court reporters, their staffs, and Professional Vendors to whom disclosure is 

reasonably necessary for this litigation;

(f) the author of the document or the original source of the information. 

7.3 Disclosure of “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” 

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 “HIGHLY 

CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” only to: 

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

employees of said Counsel to whom it is reasonably necessary to disclose the information for this 

litigation;

(b) one House Counsel of the Receiving Party to whom disclosure is reasonably 

necessary for this litigation and who has signed the “Agreement to Be Bound by Protective Order” 

(Exhibit A);

(c) Experts (as defined in this Order) (1) to whom disclosure is reasonably

Order” (Exhibit A), and (3) as to whom the procedures set forth in Paragraph 7.4, below, have 

been followed; 

(d) the Court and its personnel; 

(e) court reporters, their staffs, and Professional Vendors to whom disclosure is 

reasonably necessary for this litigation; and 

(f) the author of the document or the original source of the information. 

7.4 Procedures for Approving Disclosure of “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL –

ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” Information or Items to “Experts”

(a) Unless otherwise ordered by the court or agreed 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” first 

must make a written request to the Designating Party that (1) identifies the specific HIGHLY 

CONFIDENTIAL information that the Receiving Party seeks permission to disclose to the Expert, 

(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 for work in his 

or her areas of expertise or to whom the expert has provided professional services at any time 

during the preceding five years, and (6) identifies (by name and number of the case, filing date, 

and location of court) any litigation in connection with which the Expert has provided any 

professional services during the preceding five years. 

(b) A Party that makes a request and provides the information specified in the 

preceding paragraph may disclose the subject Protected Material to the identified Expert unless, 

within seven court 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. 

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

Designating Party (through direct voice to voice dialogue) to try to resolve the matter by

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

8. PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED IN OTHER 

LITIGATION. 

If a Receiving Party is served with a subpoena or an order issued in other litigation that 

would compel disclosure of any information or items designated in this action as 

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

Receiving Party must so notify the Designating Party, in writing immediately and in no event 

more than three (3) court days after receiving the subpoena or order. Such notification must

include a copy of the subpoena or court order. 

The Receiving Party also must immediately inform in writing the Party who caused the 

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

subpoena or order is the subject of this Protective Order. In addition, the Receiving Party must 

deliver a copy of this Stipulated Protective Order promptly to the Party in the other action that 

caused the subpoena or order to issue. 

The purpose of imposing these duties is to alert the interested parties to the existence of 

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

protect its confidentiality interests in the court from which the subpoena or order issued. The 

Designating Party shall bear the burdens and the expenses of seeking protection in that court of its 

confidential material – and nothing in these provisions should be construed as authorizing or 

encouraging a Receiving Party in this action to disobey a lawful directive from another court. 

9. UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL

If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has disclosed Protected 

Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized under this Stipulated Protective 

Order, the Receiving Party must immediately (a) notify in writing the Designating Party of the 

unauthorized disclosures, (b) use its best efforts to retrieve all 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.

10. 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.

11. FINAL DISPOSITION. Unless otherwise ordered or agreed in writing by the Producing 

Party, within sixty (60) days after the final termination of this and any pending action between the 

parties, each Receiving Party must return all Protected Material to the Producing Party. As used 

in this subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes all copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries 

or any other form of reproducing or capturing any of the Protected Material.

Whether the Protected Material is returned or destroyed, 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 sixty (60) day deadline that identifies (by category, where appropriate) 

all the Protected Material that was returned or destroyed and that affirms that the Receiving Party 

has not retained any copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries or other forms of reproducing or 

capturing any of the Protected Material. Notwithstanding this provision, Counsel are entitled to 

retain an archival copy of all pleadings, motion papers, transcripts, legal memoranda,

correspondence or attorney work product, even if such materials contain Protected Material. Any 

such archival copies that contain or constitute Protected Material remain subject to this Protective 

Order as set forth in Section 4 (DURATION) above.

12. MISCELLANEOUS

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

seek its modification by the Court in the future. 

12.2 Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of this Protective 

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 Stipulated Protective Order. Similarly, no 

Party waives any right to object on any ground to use in evidence of any of the material covered
