STIPULATION

Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26, and it appearing that discovery in the

by and between Siliconix incorporated (“Siliconix”), DENSO CORPORATION, (“DENSO”), TD 

SCAN (U.S.A.), INC. (“TD SCAN”), Advanced Analogic Technologies, Inc. (“AATI”), 

Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. (“Matsushita”), and Panasonic Corporation of North 

America (“Panasonic”), through their respective counsel of record, that the following Protective 

Order be entered to give effect to the terms and conditions set forth below. When entered by the

Matsushita, and Panasonic, and/or any other persons or entities that subsequently file an 

appearance as a party in this litigation. 

1.2 “Designating Party” means any of the Parties or any non-party producing 

documents or information under this Protective Order.

Party believes to be of a proprietary business or technical nature and not readily available to 

competitors, potential competitors, and/or other third parties. A Designating Party may so label or

mark not only its own documents and things, but also documents of non-parties in the Designating 

Party’s possession, custody and/or control that the Designated Party is obligated (contractually or 

otherwise) to keep confidential. 

1.4.2 “Confidential – Attorneys’ Eyes Only” designates Protected 

Information that the Designating Party reasonably believes is “Confidential” information within 

the meaning of Section 1.4.1, the disclosure of which is likely to cause harm to the competitive 

position of the Designating Party or to a non-party whose documents are designated as 

“Confidential – Attorneys’ Eyes Only” by the Designating Party. Such information may fall into 

one or more of the following categories: 

1.4.2.1 Future Business Plans 

1.4.2.2 Current Business Plans

1.4.2.4 New Business Development (for old products)

1.4.2.19 Current Product Development and Production 

1.4.2.20 Costs Related Information 

1.4.3 Protected Information shall not include: information that is in the 

public domain at the time of disclosure (except such information in the public domain which may 

be treated as a trade secret due to the effort involved in collecting and maintaining such 

information); information which after disclosure is published or becomes part of the public domain 

through no fault of a Party receiving information under this Protective Order, but only after it is 

published or comes into the public domain (subject to the same trade secret exclusion stated 

above); information that is in the possession of a Party receiving such information without any 

confidentiality obligations at the time of disclosure; information independently derived by a Party 

receiving Protected Information without reference to any Protected Information, as evidenced by 

documentation; or information disclosed by a third party having the legal right to do so. 

1.5 “Document” shall have the meaning ascribed to it in Federal Rule of Civil 

Procedure Rule 34(a). 

1.6 “Employees” means regular full or part-time employees and also temporary 

personnel who are providing secretarial, clerical and/or administrative services only of the 

designated employer. 

2.0 Designations of Protected Information 

2.1 Each Designating Party who produces or discloses any material that the 

Designating Party reasonably believes to contain or reveal Protected Information may designate 

the same Confidential or Confidential – Attorneys’ Eyes Only. 

2.2 The Parties must make a good-faith determination that any information 

designated “Confidential” or “Confidential – Attorneys’ Eyes Only” warrants protection under 

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(c). Designations of material as “Confidential” or 

“Confidential – Attorneys’ Eyes Only” must be narrowly tailored to include only material for 

which there is good cause. A pattern of over-designation may lead to an order de-designating all 

or most materials on a wholesale basis.

CONSOLIDATED ACTIONS - 5 - 

2.3 Documents may be designated as Confidential only if, prior to production, 

the document is clearly marked with a legend which states: 

CONFIDENTIAL 

2.4 Documents may be designated as Confidential – Attorneys’ Eyes Only only 

if, prior to production, the document is clearly marked with a legend which states: 

CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY 

2.5 An answer to an Interrogatory or Request for Admission may be designated 

as the appropriate category of Protected Information by a statement made therein. 

2.6 A deposition transcript or a portion thereof may be designated as the 

appropriate category of Protected Information by so designating on the record at the deposition or 

designating any portion of the transcript as “Confidential” or “Confidential – Attorneys’ Eyes 

Only” within thirty (30) days following the mailing of the transcript or videotape by the court 

reporter or videographer. Such notice thereof shall be made in writing to the reporter, with copies 

to all other counsel, designating the portions of the transcript or videotape that contain Protected 

Information as either Confidential or Confidential – Attorneys’ Eyes Only, and directing the 

reporter to mark that portion of the transcript or videotape accordingly. Until expiration of the 

thirty day period specified in this Section 2.5, all deposition transcripts and/or videotapes shall be 

considered and treated as Confidential – Attorneys’ Eyes Only.

2.7 Counsel of record shall exert their best efforts to raise claims of 

confidentiality prior to the disclosure of Protected Information. 

2.8 Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 2.2 – 2.6 of this Protective 

Order, failure of counsel to designate and/or mark any Protected Information as “Confidential” or 

“Confidential – Attorneys’ Eyes Only” as provided above shall not preclude the disclosing Party 

from thereafter in good faith making such a designation and requesting the Receiving Party to so 

mark and treat such Protected Information so designated. After such designation, such Protected 

Information shall be fully subject to this Protective Order and treated thereafter according to the 

new or corrected designation subject to any objection procedure provided herein. The Receiving 

Party, however, shall incur no liability for disclosures made prior to notice of such designation.

Information; (b) any expert witness or consultant who regularly consults for such a competitor; or

subpoena(s) in this case through service to its outside counsel.

property licensing decisions for the Parties, or to persons who are currently prosecuting, 

supervising, advising or assisting in any way in the preparation and/or prosecution of any new or 

pending patent application, continuation, divisional, renewal, substitute or convention application 

relating to field-effect transistors ("FETs"), or any portion thereof, whether design or utility, 

whether in the United States or abroad (including applications filed under the Patent Cooperation 

Treaty), whether or not claiming priority from the patents asserted in this litigation or any foreign 

counterpart thereof, on behalf of themselves, their employer, any Party to this litigation or any 

third party (hereafter "Prosecution Counsel" or "Prosecution Consultant"), and further provided 

that such persons shall not during the pendency of, and for a period of one year following the 

conclusion of this action (including any appeals), engage in any such prosecution, supervision, 

advice or assistance in any way in the preparation and/or prosecution of any new patents or patent 

applications, including provisional patent applications relating to FETs.

3.3 Protected Information shall not be made available to any person except as 

authorized under this Protective Order, and no person identified in Sections 3.1.2, 3.1.3, 3.1.4 and

jurisdiction of this Court for purposes of any proceedings relating to the performance under, 

compliance with or violation of this Protective Order. 

3.5 If the recipient of any Protected Information learns that, by inadvertence or 

otherwise, it has disclosed Protected Information to any person or in any circumstance not 

authorized under this 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 Information, (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 

declaration and undertaking in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. 

4.0 Objections to Disclosures 

4.1 Not less than ten (10) days prior to the initial disclosure of Protected 

Information to any person falling under the provisions of Sections 3.1.2 or 3.1.9 of this Protective 

Order, the Party planning to make such disclosure shall first serve (by facsimile and mail) on the 

Designating Party (and on each opposing Party, if the Designating Party is other than one of the 

other Parties) the name, address, present employer, title, (and in the case of an expert or 

consultant, a current resume), and an executed Declaration in the form of Exhibit A and/or Exhibit 

B, as appropriate. 

4.2 Within the ten (10) day period before disclosure of the Protected 

Information to the proposed recipient, the Party or non-party whose Protected Information is 

concerned may serve (by facsimile and mail) a written objection to disclosure to such person. 

Such an objection shall stay disclosure to the proposed recipient. Failure to serve a written notice 

of objection within ten (10) days shall be deemed approval of a proposed recipient. 

4.3 If a written objection is served pursuant to Section 4.2, the Parties shall 

attempt to resolve the objection by meeting and conferring within ten (10) days of service of the 

written objection. If the objection is not resolved by meeting and conferring, the Party seeking to 

prevent disclosure shall file a motion, to be heard on the earliest date available. Failure to file 

such a motion within ten (10) days of meeting and conferring or at the conclusion of the ten-day 

period to meet and confer shall preclude a Party from objecting to the disclosure of Protected

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER 

CASE NO. C 05-1507 WHA AND 

CONSOLIDATED ACTIONS - 10 - 

Information to the person to whom the objection is directed. The disclosure of Protected 

Information to such proposed person shall be withheld pending the ruling of the Court on any such 

motion. On any such motion, the Party seeking to prevent disclosure to a person proposed for 

approval shall have the burden of proof. 

4.4 If at any time during the pendency or trial of this action, counsel for any 

Party claims that a Designating Party is unreasonably designating certain information as 

Confidential or Confidential – Attorneys’ Eyes Only, the objecting Party may serve a captioned 

notice of objection on the Designating Party and all Parties, identifying with particularity the items 

to which the designation is challenged, stating the basis for each challenge, and proposing a new 

designation for each item. If the Designating Party does not re-designate the material within ten 

(10) days after service of such notice, the objecting Party may file and serve a motion for an order 

that the material be re-designated. On any such motion, the Designating Party seeking to prevent 

re-designation shall have the burden of proof. The original designation shall remain effective until 

three (3) business days after an Order is entered re-designating the materials. The Court may 

award sanctions on any motion concerning the challenge of a designation if the Court finds that 

any Designating Party’s or Receiving Party’s position was taken without reasonable justification. 

5.0 Use of Protected Information 

5.1 Protected Information disclosed pursuant to this Protective Order shall, 

unless otherwise ordered by this Court, be used by a recipient thereof solely for the purpose of this 

action and not for any other action or for any business or competitive purposes or for any other 

reason. Protected Information shall not be used for any purposes other than in the prosecution or 

defense of claims asserted in this action. In no event shall any person receiving Protected 

Information use it for commercial or competitive purposes, including any use in the preparation 

and/or prosecution of any new or pending patent application, continuation, divisional, renewal, 

substitute or convention application, or any portion thereof, whether design or utility, whether in 

the United States or abroad (including applications filed under the Patent Cooperation Treaty), or 

make any public disclosure of the contents thereof. Nothing contained in this Protective Order,

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER 

CASE NO. C 05-1507 WHA AND 

CONSOLIDATED ACTIONS - 11 - 

however, shall affect the right of the Designating Party to disclose information designated solely 

by it under this Protective Order. 

5.2 No person shall disclose to anyone not specified in Section 3.0 of this 

Protective Order any Protected Information without prior written consent of the Designating Party 

or further Order of this Court. 

6.0 Depositions Involving Protected Information 

6.1 At any deposition session, when counsel of record for a Designating Party 

deems that a question and/or the answer to a question will result in the disclosure of Protected 

Information, counsel may designate as Confidential or Confidential – Attorneys’ Eyes Only the 

portion of the transcript or videotape containing such question or answer. 

6.2 Any portion of a transcript designated as Confidential or Confidential – 

Attorneys’ Eyes Only Protected Information shall be transcribed separately from the remainder of 

the transcript of the deposition and designated in the manner set forth in Section 2.0 of this 

Protective Order. 

6.3 During the portion of a deposition in which Protected Information will be 

disclosed, counsel of record for the Designating Party may request that all persons other than the 

individuals specified in Section 3.1 (for Confidential Protected Information) or Section 3.2 (for 

Confidential – Attorneys’ Eyes Only Protected Information) leave the deposition room prior to 

disclosure of Protected Information. The failure of such other persons to comply with a request of 

this type shall constitute substantial justification for counsel of record to advise the witness not to 

answer the question. 

6.4 Where appropriate, in light of the amount of Protected Information likely to 

be disclosed at a given deposition, counsel of record for the Parties may agree at the beginning of 

the deposition that the entire transcript and/or videotape shall be designated Confidential or 

Confidential – Attorneys’ Eyes Only subject to review of the transcript and withdrawal of any 

unnecessary Confidential or Confidential – Attorneys’ Eyes Only designation by the Designating 

Party within thirty (30) days of receipt of the transcript. Section 6.4 is made expressly subject to 

the provisions set forth in Section 4.4.

CONSOLIDATED ACTIONS - 12 - 

6.5 A person not otherwise permitted to receive a disclosure of Protected 

Information under Section 3.1 of this Protective Order may be shown such Protected Information 

and may be examined or deposed about such Protected Information if the Protected Information 

itself reveals that such person legitimately had access to that Protected Information at some earlier 

time. This exception does not permit any person who has received a disclosure of Protected 

Information to have access to any other Protected Information, even if that information is similar 

or of the same type. 

6.6 A deponent or examined witness not otherwise permitted to receive a 

disclosure of Protected Information under Section 3.1 of this Protective Order may be shown such 

Protected Information at a duly noticed deposition and may be examined or deposed about such 

Protected Information provided that (a) the procedures set out in Section 4.1 have been followed, 

and either no objection pursuant to Section 4.2 has been made, or any such objections have been 

resolved pursuant to Section 4.3; or (b) the witness first signs the Declaration for Protective Order 

in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A at the deposition. If any Party or Designating Party 

objects at the deposition to the disclosure of Protected Information to a deponent at deposition, 

then that objection to showing Protected Information to the deponent shall be resolved before any 

Protected Information is shown to the deponent. In the event such an objection cannot be resolved 

during the deposition, then the objecting Party or Designating Party (the party who raised the 

objection and caused the deponent to not be questioned regarding Protected Information) shall be 

required to pay all costs other than attorneys’ fees incurred by the witness, the other Party, and/or 

the Designating Party if it is necessary to reconvene the deposition to conclude questioning about 

the Protected Information. 

7.0 Court Filings Including Protected Information 

7.1 Any written material constituting, containing or disclosing Protected 

Information that is lodged or filed with the Clerk of the Court, including Court papers, shall be 

submitted by lodging such material with a request for filing under seal and a proposed sealing 

order in compliance with Civil Local Rule 79-5; shall be marked “FILED UNDER SEAL”; and

7.2 Requests to file Protected Information under seal shall comply with Local 

Rule 79-5. Each request to file Protected Information under seal shall require an individualized 

sealing order, which shall be accompanied by the document to be filed under seal. The request 

shall be submitted in a timely manner, and e-filing shall not authorize a Party to submit the 

document to be filed under seal the day after the document is due. The request shall be narrowly 

tailored to cover only those portions of the materials for which good cause to seal exists, while all 

other portions of such materials shall be filed in the public file and shall indicate where 

information has been redacted. All documents to be filed under seal shall be submitted to 

chambers in both redacted and unredacted form so that chambers staff does not have to reassemble the whole brief or declaration. 

7.3 All materials accepted by the Court for filing under seal shall be maintained 

by the Clerk of the Court separate from the public records in this action and shall be released only 

upon further Order of the Court. 

7.4 All documents, exhibits or papers filed in connection with any proceedings 

related to compliance with, performance under, construction of or violation of this Protective 

Order, shall be filed under seal pursuant to Civil Local Rule 79-5.

Information during the pretrial period of this litigation, but shall remain in force and effect 

thereafter until modified, superseded or terminated on the record by agreement of the Parties 

hereto or by Order of this Court. 

8.2 Subject to the Federal Rules of Evidence, Protected Information may be 

offered in evidence at trial or any Court hearing in this action, provided that: 

8.2.1 the proponent of the evidence advises the Court and the Designating 

Party that Protected Information will be offered prior to its offer and the Designating Party has 

appropriate opportunity to object to the disclosure of the Protected Information; 

8.2.2 any documents, exhibits or papers containing Protected Information 

shall be filed under seal pursuant to Civil Local Rule 79-5; 

8.2.3 the evidence be received in camera or under other conditions to 

prevent disclosure to any persons other than the judge, the jury, the court reporter, counsel of 

record, any witness testifying with respect to the evidence, and other persons who are entitled to 

receive the appropriate category of Protected Information under the terms of this Protective Order, 

and 

8.2.4 the trial or Court hearing transcript is treated in the manner specified 

in Section 6.0 of this Protective Order. 

8.3 Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, any Protected Information used 

openly in court hearings or trial will not be treated in any special manner absent a further Order of 

the Court.

shall, at the option of the Designating Party, either return to the Designating Party or destroy all 

Protected Information in its possession, except such pretrial and trial records as are regularly

thereafter relieve the Parties from the obligation to maintain the confidentiality of all Protected 

Information received pursuant to this Protective Order, including the provisions relating to 

prosecution of patents set forth in paragraphs 3.2 and 5.1. The Court shall retain jurisdiction over 

disputes arising from this Protective Order after final termination of the action. 

9.2 This Protective Order is intended to provide a mechanism for the handling 

of Protected Information, the disclosure or production of which is objected to only on the basis of 

Confidentiality. Each Party reserves the right to object to any disclosure of information or 

production of any document it deems Protected Information on any other ground it may deem 

appropriate. The designation of Protected Information pursuant to this Protective Order shall not 

create any presumption with respect to the Confidential, proprietary, or trade secret nature of any 

information, documents or things. 

9.3 The Parties may, by joint stipulation, apply to amend this Protective Order. 

The amendment shall take effect once the stipulation is entered by the court. 

9.4 The Court retains jurisdiction to amend this Protective Order without 

agreement of the Parties and to issue Orders concerning Protected Information disclosed under this 

Protective Order. 

9.5 Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, counsel for either Party may give 

advice and opinions to his or her client based on his or her evaluation of information disclosed by 

the opposing Party or a third party and designated as Confidential or Confidential – Attorneys’ 

Eyes Only, including for purposes of settlement discussions. 

9.6 Nothing in this Protective Order shall limit or restrict the manner in which 

the Parties shall handle their own Protected Information. 

9.7 Adherence to this Protective Order in no way constitutes an admission by 

any Party that any information provided in this action and not subject to this Protective Order is 

not proprietary or confidential. 

9.8 This Protective Order shall not abrogate or diminish any contractual, 

statutory or other legal obligation or right of any Party or person, nor obligate any Party or person 

to provide any discovery to which it asserts objections.

CASE NO. C 05-1507 WHA AND 

CONSOLIDATED ACTIONS - 16 - 

9.9 Nothing in the foregoing provisions of this Protective Order shall be 

deemed to preclude any Party from seeking and obtaining, on an appropriate showing, such 

additional protection with respect to the confidentiality of these proceedings or specific documents 

or testimony as that Party may deem appropriate, including but not limited to restrictions on public 

disclosure or disclosure to competitors. 

9.10 The terms of this Protective Order shall apply to confidential documents or 

material produced or disclosed by third parties in connection with this action if such third party 

wishes to designate the document or information Protected Information. 

9.11 Each Party reserves the right to apply to the Court to modify the terms of 

this Protective Order in the event that the Party believes that it is necessary. In the event such an 

application is made, all persons described herein shall be bound by this Protective Order until it is 

modified by the Court. 

9.12 The disclosure of Protected Information to any attorney of record shall not 

prevent or disqualify that attorney of record from representing any Party or any non-party in any 

future litigation. 

9.13 If any Party or non-party, having received Protected Information, receives a 

subpoena or other compulsory process from any other person or entity seeking the production of 

the Protected Information produced by the Designating Party, counsel for the Designating Party 

shall be notified in writing immediately and in no event more than three (3) court days after the 

receipt of the subpoena or other compulsory process and such notification shall include copies of 

the subpoena or compulsory process. Absent the consent of the Designating Party, the Party or 

person receiving such subpoena or compulsory process shall refrain to the fullest extent 

permissible under law from producing the subpoenaed Protected Information. The Party or person 

receiving such subpoena or compulsory process 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 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

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER 

CASE NO. C 05-1507 WHA AND 

CONSOLIDATED ACTIONS - 17 - 

the interested Parties to the existence of this Protective Order and to afford the Designating Party 

in this action 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 full burden and all expenses of 

seeking protection in that court of its Protected Information, and nothing in these provisions 

should be construed as authorizing or encouraging a Party to this action to disobey a lawful 

directive from another court. 

10.0 Inadvertent Disclosure. With respect to documents, things or other discovery 

material produced by a Party as to which the Party inadvertently failed at the time of production to 

assert a claim of attorney-client privilege or work-product immunity, such production shall not be 

a waiver of that privilege or immunity claim. Assertion of the privilege or claim of immunity shall 

be made as soon as practicable after learning of the inadvertent disclosure and in no event later 

than the date of the final pretrial conference. Upon request of the Producing Party, a Receiving 

Party shall return such discovery material and all copies thereof to the Producing Party provided 

that the cost, if any, for excising such discovery material from the paper or electronic files of the 

Receiving Party shall be borne by the Producing Party. A Party may, by motion, after returning 

the material and conferring with opposing counsel in an effort in good faith to resolve by 

agreement any dispute regarding the Producing Party’s assertion of attorney-client privilege or 

work-product immunity, contest the Producing Party’s claim of privilege or work-product. The 

determination of those claims will be made by the Court without regard to the fact that such 

discovery material has been produced.
