STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER 2 CASE NO. C 05 02302 CRB

WHEREAS, the parties expect that discovery in this action will require the production of 

technical and business information that is confidential and proprietary in nature, the unrestricted 

disclosure or dissemination of which could subject them and/or others to commercial or 

competitive injury; 

WHEREAS, the parties are desirous of establishing mechanisms and protocols that will 

permit efficient discovery in this action and also protect themselves and others from the risk of 

misuse, unrestricted disclosure and dissemination of such confidential and proprietary

applied to information that a Designating Party believes in good faith to constitute, contain, or 

reveal its trade secrets or other confidential research, development, design, testing, commercial, 

financial, licensing or personnel information relating to its business, the unrestricted disclosure 

or dissemination of such information to third parties could adversely impact its business. 

Information may also be designated “CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” if it is 

held by a Designating Party subject to an obligation of confidentiality owed to a third party. 

3. “Confidential Information” means information that has been designated 

“CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” under the terms of this Order. 

4. “Copy” means any reproduction, depiction, or sample of any document, material,

II. TERMS OF THE PROTECTIVE ORDER

1. Scope of This Protective Order. The terms of this Protective Order shall apply

derived in whole or in part from Confidential Information shall itself be deemed to be 

Confidential Information, and the dissemination and use thereof shall be governed by this 

Protective Order. 

4. Manner of Designation of Confidential Information

a. Designation of Documents and Things. A Designating Party shall 

designate Confidential Information by placing a clear, permanent legend on each page of any 

document being designated or, in the case of physical objects, computer disks, or other tangible 

things, on the thing itself or on the container in which it is produced. The legend shall bear the 

words “CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.” All documents and things shall be 

so designated by the Designating Party prior to their production or delivery, except as set forth 

below. 

To expedite discovery in this action, a Designating Party may make documents 

and things available for inspection prior to the placement of a legend thereon, without thereby 

waiving the protections of this Order. Thus, the Designating Party may advise the requesting 

party that some or all of the documents or things to be produced for inspection are designated 

“CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” pursuant to this Order and that only 

Designated Counsel for the requesting party and outside experts and consultants permitted under 

the Protective Order to access such materials will be permitted to participate in such inspection. 

After the inspection, the Designating Party may then designate the documents and things 

selected by Designated Counsel for the requesting party by marking them with the appropriate 

legend prior to delivery of copies to the requesting party's Designated Counsel. In such cases, 

permitting such initial inspections shall not constitute waiver of confidentiality with respect to 

any document or things so inspected. 

b. Manner of Designating Deposition Testimony. If in the course of a 

deposition any Confidential Information is used (whether as an exhibit or otherwise) with or 

elicited from a witness, the portion of the transcript in which such Confidential Information is 

contained shall be designated under this Protective Order. To so designate such portion of a 

transcript, the witness (or his/her counsel) or Party intending to invoke this Protective Order

shall state on the record that the testimony or portion thereof is being designated 

“CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” whereupon the deposition officer shall 

place the appropriate legend on each page of the transcript containing such designated testimony 

and shall bind same separately from any non-designated portions of the deposition transcript. In 

the alternative, any party may advise all other parties in writing, and with page and line 

identifications, of the designation of such testimony, within thirty (30) days after receipt of the 

transcript of a deposition. Until thirty (30) days have passed after the receipt of any transcript, 

the entire transcript shall be deemed to be designated CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ 

EYES ONLY. Unless otherwise ordered by this Court, the Designating Party shall have the 

right to have all persons, except the deponent and his/her Designated Counsel and such other 

persons as are permitted under the terms of this Protective Order to have access to Confidential 

Information, excluded from a deposition during the taking of the testimony designated pursuant 

to this Protective Order. 

c. Inadvertent Production or Failure to Designate. In the event that any 

document or thing qualifying for designation as Confidential Information is inadvertently 

produced without the proper designation, the disclosing party shall identify such document or 

thing promptly after its inadvertent production is discovered and provide a copy of such 

document or thing with the proper designation to counsel for the receiving party, upon receipt of 

which the receiving party shall promptly return or destroy all copies of the undesignated or 

misdesignated document or thing. 

In the event that any document or thing containing or constituting privileged 

attorney-client communications or attorney work product is inadvertently produced, the 

disclosing party shall notify the receiving party promptly after it is discovered that the privileged 

material was inadvertently produced for inspection or provided, and upon receipt of such 

notification the receiving party shall promptly return to Designated Counsel for the disclosing 

party any and all copies of such document or thing and thereafter refrain from any use 

whatsoever, in this case or otherwise, of such document or thing. Nothing herein shall prevent 

the receiving party from contending that any such document or thing was not inadvertently

produced, or that privilege was waived for reasons other than the mere inadvertent production 

thereof. 

5. Treatment of Confidential Information. Information designated as 

"CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,” and all information derived from the 

information so designated (excluding such information as is derived lawfully from an 

independent source), shall be used only for the purposes of this litigation, and not for any 

business, commercial, patent prosecution or other purpose whatsoever. Such information shall 

not be Communicated to any person or entity other than Designated Counsel, the Court and 

Court Reporters, and those persons to whom disclosure is permitted under the terms of Section 

II.6 below. 

6. Outside Experts and Consultants. Information designated as “CONFIDENTIAL 

– ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” may be Communicated to outside Experts or Consultants 

retained by a Party in connection with preparation for trial or for trial in this action, provided 

that the following conditions are met: (a) Before any Confidential Information is disclosed to 

any Expert or Consultant, that person shall execute and deliver to all Designating Parties a 

Confidentiality Agreement in the form attached to this Protective Order as Exhibit A; and (b) 

Counsel of record for the Designating Party will be served with written notice by first class mail 

and by facsimile not less than ten (10) calendar days before disclosure to any such Expert or 

Consultant, together with a current resume for such Expert or Consultant. Should counsel of 

record for the Designating Party object to the disclosure of such information to an outside Expert 

or Consultant, and such objection is not informally resolved by the parties, the Designating Party 

shall have twenty-one (21) calendar days following the service of said written notice within 

which to file a motion in order to bar such disclosure, and no disclosure shall take place until 

such motion is decided or by leave of court. 

7. Request for Additional Disclosure. If any counsel of record desires to 

Communicate a Designating Party’s Confidential Information to any person other than those 

otherwise permitted access to such information under the terms of this Protective Order, such 

counsel shall first obtain the written consent of the Designating Party or a Court Order

authorizing such disclosure. Except as expressly agreed in writing by the Designating Party or 

ordered by the court, each person to whom the Confidential Information is to be Communicated 

must execute a written Confidentiality Agreement, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. 

8. Maintenance of Designated Information. Counsel and those persons to whom 

disclosure is permitted under the terms of Sections II.5 and II.6 above who have received 

Confidential Information that is provided pursuant to this Order shall maintain such Confidential 

Information in a secure and safe area and shall exercise due and proper care with respect to the

storage, custody, use, and disposal of all Confidential Information, so as to prevent the 

unauthorized or inadvertent disclosure of any of it. 

9. Court Reporters. Any court reporter shall be entitled to hear Confidential 

Information and receive and handle exhibits containing Confidential Information as necessary or 

appropriate for the performance of his or her duties. The court reporter may allow the deponent

to review the original of the transcript or may deliver the original transcript for such review to 

the attorney for the deponent, if that attorney has executed and delivered to the Designating 

Party's counsel of record a Confidentiality Agreement in the form attached to this Stipulated 

Protective Order as Exhibit A or is one of the Designated Counsel defined in Section I.5 above. 

10. Filing Documents with the Court. Every document containing Confidential 

Information which is filed or lodged with the Court, or any pleading or memorandum purporting 

to reproduce or paraphrase such information, shall be filed or lodged consistent with Civil L.R. 

79-5 in a sealed envelope or other appropriately sealed container on which shall be recorded the 

title to this action, the general nature of the contents, the identity of the party filing the materials, 

and a statement substantially in the following form: 

DOCUMENT SUBMITTED UNDER SEAL

CONFIDENTIAL – FILED PURSUANT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER

Upon default of the filing or lodging Party properly to file or lodge documents 

containing Confidential Information in accordance with this Stipulated Protective Order, any 

Party or Designating Party who in good faith believes that lodging or filing under seal is 

required may, within five (5) calendar days of learning of the defective filing or lodging, request

the Court to treat it as having been filed or lodged under seal. Notice of such request shall be 

given to all Parties. Nothing in this provision relieves a Party of liability for damages caused by 

failure to properly file or lodge documents containing Confidential Information under seal. 

11. No Effect on Party's Own Use. A Designating Party’s designation of information 

as “CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” shall not affect its own right to 

Communicate or use any of its information so designated. 

12. Limitations Upon Scope of Order. The restrictions set forth in this Order shall 

not apply to any information, including information contained in the document, which: 

a. At the time of the disclosure hereunder is available to the public; or 

b. After disclosure hereunder becomes available to the public through no act, 

or failure to act, by the receiving party; or 

c. The receiving party can show (i) as a matter of written record was already 

known to the receiving party; (ii) as a matter of written record was independently developed by 

the receiving party; or (iii) was received by the receiving party, after the time of disclosure 

hereunder, from a third party having the right to make such disclosure, it being understood that 

this clause (iii) applies only to the extent that the receiving party may have the right to use or 

disclose said information under any agreement with the third party. 

13. No Effect on Disclosure to Author or Previous Recipients. Nothing contained in 

this Order shall affect the right of a Party to disclose any Confidential Information to any person 

who appears as an author or as an addressee on the face of the document, or who has been 

identified by the Designating Party as having been provided with such Confidential Information 

therein by the Designating Party. 

14. Legal Effect of Confidentiality Designations. The designation by a Designating 

Party of any document, material, tangible thing, or information “CONFIDENTIAL – 

ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” is intended solely to facilitate initial disclosure and discovery in 

this action, and neither such designation nor treatment in conformity with such designation shall 

be construed in any way as an admission or agreement by any Designating Party that the 

designated disclosure constitutes or contains any trade secret, or proprietary information.

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER 9 CASE NO. C 05 02302 CRB

15. Final Disposition of Action. Upon the final disposition of this action, each 

counsel of record shall: (a) within thirty days return to counsel of record for the Designating 

Party all materials designated “CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” and all 

Copies made of such materials; and (b) within thirty days destroy or see to the destruction of all 

materials related to Confidential Information, including but not limited to notes, analyses, 

memoranda or reports provided to or by any other persons, and certify to the Designating Party 

that such destruction has been done. As an exception to the above, counsel of record may retain 

a single file Copy of any document filed with the Court, a Copy of any written discovery 

response, and a transcript of any deposition testimony, together with all exhibits to that 

transcript. The Copy of these retained documents shall be treated as “CONFIDENTIAL – 

ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,” and counsel of record shall immediately notify opposing 

counsel of record of any attempt by third parties to inspect or Copy said documents. 

16. Motion for Relief from Designation. If, after a Party receives information 

designated “CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,” it appears to the receiving 

party that any such information is not entitled to the protection afforded under this Protective 

Order, such receiving party shall first notify counsel of record for the Designating Party in 

writing, providing its reasons for challenging the designation. If, fifteen (15) calendar days after 

such notice is given, the parties have been unable to reach an agreement as to whether the 

information should be treated as “CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,” the 

receiving party may then or thereafter bring a noticed motion to be relieved of its obligations 

under this Protective Order as to any such information. The Designating Party shall bear the 

burden of proving that the designated information constitutes, contains, reveals, or reflects trade 

secrets or other confidential research, development, commercial, financial, or personnel 

information that relates to the Designating Party’s business or that was disclosed to it in 

confidence by any third party, and that disclosure of the designated information to competitors, 

customers, or others (including the general public) would adversely prejudice the Designating 

Party or its business or would violate an obligation of confidentiality to a third party. No party 

to this action, however, shall be obligated to challenge the propriety of any designation by any

other party, and a failure to do so shall not constitute a waiver or in any way preclude a 

subsequent challenge in this or any other action to the propriety of such designations. 

17. Survival of Terms. Absent written modification by the Parties or further order of 

the Court, the provisions of this Protective Order that restrict the disclosure and use of 

Confidential Information shall survive the final disposition of this action and continue to be 

binding on all persons and entities subject to the terms of this Protective Order. 

18. Effect on Discovery. This Protective Order shall not preclude or limit the right of 

any Party to object to or resist discovery on any ground that would otherwise be available. 

19. Submitting to Jurisdiction of the Court. Counsel of record and each person to 

whom Confidential Information is disclosed pursuant to the terms of this Protective Order agrees 

to be subject to the in personam jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Northern 

District of California, for the purpose of contempt proceedings or any other proceeding arising 

from any violation of this order. 

20. Violation of Order. In the event of any violation or threatened violation of any 

term of this Protective Order, any affected Designating Party may immediately apply to this 

Court in this action to obtain injunctive relief against any person violating or threatening to 

violate this Protective Order and, in that event, the person committing or threatening to commit 

such violation shall not argue or otherwise employ as a defense that the Designating Party 

possesses an adequate remedy at law. The Parties and any other person or entity subject to the 

terms of this Protective Order agree that this Court has jurisdiction of such person, entity, or 

Party, for the purpose of enforcing this Order.
