This Order is issued to facilitate document disclosure and production under the Local Rules of 

this Court and the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Unless modified pursuant to the terms contained 

in this Order, this Order shall remain in effect through the conclusion of this litigation. 

For purposes of this Order: 

 a. Provided that it meets the requirements of paragraph b and/or c below, any information 

or material produced, formally or informally, in response to a discovery request, including without 

limitation, all depositions, documents, information or things produced in response to a subpoena, 

answers to interrogatories, responses to requests for admissions, all other discovery taken pursuant to 

the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and any information or material produced pursuant to any 

disclosure obligations imposed by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure or the Court’s local rules, any 

information or material disclosed or produced on an informal basis, and any material filed with the 

Court may be designated under this Protective Order by the person or entity producing, filing or 

disclosing it or providing the information or material (“Designating Entity”) to the person or entity 

receiving the information or material (“Receiving Entity”). Any party or non-party may designate 

material under this Protective Order. 

 b. “CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION” means any information that a party or third 

party believes in good faith to be confidential or sensitive information including, but not limited to, 

trade secrets, research, design, development, financial, technical, marketing, planning, personal or 

commercial information, as such terms are used in Rule 26(c)(7) of the Federal Rules of Civil 

Procedure and/or any applicable case law interpreting Rule 26(c)(7). “CONFIDENTIAL 

INFORMATION” may be embodied in physical objects, documents, or the factual knowledge of 

persons. 

 c. “ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY INFORMATION” shall include any information that a 

party or third party believes in good faith to be highly confidential and highly sensitive information 

which, if disclosed to a competitor, may cause competitive harm, including but not limited to trade 

secrets, research, design, development, financial, technical, marketing, planning, personal or 

commercial information, as such terms are used in Rule 26(c)(7) of the Federal Rules of Civil 

Procedure and/or any applicable case law interpreting Rule 26(c)(7), or other information that is

entitled to a higher level of protection due to its commercial sensitivity. “ATTORNEYS’ EYES 

ONLY INFORMATION” may be embodied in physical objects, documents, or the factual knowledge 

of persons. 

In support of this Order, the Court finds that: 

 1. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION and ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY 

INFORMATION that bear significantly on the parties’ claims or defenses is likely to be disclosed or 

produced during the course of discovery in this litigation; 

 2. The parties to this litigation may assert that public dissemination and disclosure of 

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION or ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY INFORMATION could 

severely injure or damage the Designating Entity and could place that party at a competitive 

disadvantage; 

 3. Counsel for the party or parties receiving CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION and 

ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY INFORMATION are presently without sufficient information to accept 

the representation(s) made by the party or parties producing CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION and 

ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY INFORMATION as to the confidential and/or trade secret nature of 

such CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION and ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY INFORMATION; and 

 4. To protect the respective interests of the parties and to facilitate the progress of 

disclosure and discovery in this case, the following Order should issue: 

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED THAT: 

 5. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION and ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY 

INFORMATION shall not be used or shown, disseminated, copied, or in any way communicated to 

anyone for any purpose whatsoever, except as provided in this Order. 

 6. Any information, document, or thing designated as containing CONFIDENTIAL 

INFORMATION shall be used solely for purposes directly related to this litigation in accordance with 

the terms of this Order and shall not be disclosed by the Receiving Entity to any person other than: 

 (a) outside counsel for the Receiving Entity; 

 (b) independent experts or consultants retained by the Receiving Entity (directly or 

by their counsel of record) solely for the purpose of assisting in this litigation, provided that each such

employee is involved in the prosecution or defense of this action and has the need to know such 

information in the prosecution or defense of this action; and (2) each such employee is not involved in 

patent prosecution for the Receiving Entity that relates to the subject matter described in the patentsin-suit or any continuations, continuations-in-part, divisionals, or foreign counterparts of the patentsin-suit. An employee is “involved in patent prosecution” when that employee drafts patents or patent 

applications, amends patents or patent applications, revises patents or patent applications, or assists or 

advises in the drafting, amending or revising of patent claims and/or applications; and 

 (i) necessary secretaries or clerical staff, if any, for any employee under paragraph 

2(h) above. 

 Nothing herein shall (1) prevent a Designating Entity from using or disclosing its own 

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION in any manner that the Designating Entity sees fit, or (2) prevent 

a Receiving Entity from disclosing CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION to an expert that has been

 (a) for Raindance Communications, Inc.: Paul, Hastings, Janofsky & Walker LLP; 

 (b) for WebEx Communications, Inc: Townsend and Townsend and Crew LLP; 

and 

 (c) additional outside counsel, to whom no reasonable objection is presented, and

 8. Any information, document, or thing designated as containing ATTORNEYS’ EYES 

ONLY INFORMATION shall be used solely for purposes directly related to this litigation in

source code, or any portion of any source code, the Source Code Custodian shall maintain a log 

detailing the location of the copy. Copies of selected portions of the source code can be made for the 

limited purpose of using those copies as exhibits for a deposition, a pleading, declaration, or an expert 

report, provided such copies are appropriately marked as “Attorneys’ Eyes Only – Source Code.”

maintained in a secured, locked area. Any such source code shall only be viewed or analyzed on a 

stand-alone computer (a computer that is not connected to any internal or external computer or 

computer network) located within the designated United States offices of the Source Code Custodian. 

Only source code may be stored and produced on a stand-alone computer under this paragraph. Any 

source code produced in electronic form shall be produced in a word searchable format and as it is 

maintained in the ordinary course of business, including any related make files, configuration files, 

directory structures and/or development tools. Two hard copies of the source code may be printed, 

provided those hard copies are maintained in accordance with section 10(b), above. No electronic 

copies of such source code shall be made, except as necessary to provide an electronic copy of such 

source code at each such location and to maintain back-up copies of the information on each such 

computer. The Source Code Custodian shall maintain a Source Code Access Log identifying, for each 

and every time the source code is viewed, accessed, or analyzed: (i) the name of each person who 

accessed the code; (ii) the date and time of access; (iii) the length of time of access; and (iv) whether 

any hard copies of any portion of the code were printed and the portion of the code printed. The 

Source Code Access Log shall not be discoverable except on further Order of this Court. 

 (d) Access to information designated ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY – SOURCE 

CODE shall be limited to those persons set forth in paragraphs 6(a) to (g).

 11. Any recipient of information designated as CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION or

from disclosing it to any other person, except in conformance with this Order. 

 12. Each individual who receives any CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION or

 (c) a Receiving Entity can show was received by the Receiving Entity, whether 

before or after the disclosure, from a source who obtained the information lawfully and under no 

obligation of confidentiality to the Designating Entity; 

 (d) a Receiving Entity can show was independently developed before the time of 

disclosure by the Receiving Entity; or 

 (e) a Receiving Entity can show was independently developed after the time of 

disclosure by personnel who have not had access to the Designating Entity’s CONFIDENTIAL 

INFORMATION or ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY INFORMATION. 

 15. If information designated as CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION or ATTORNEYS’ 

EYES ONLY INFORMATION is disclosed to anyone other than in a manner authorized by this 

Order, the party responsible for such disclosure must immediately bring all pertinent facts relating to 

such disclosure to the attention of the Designating Entity and make every effort to prevent further 

disclosure. 

 16. Any person in possession of information designated as CONFIDENTIAL 

INFORMATION or ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY INFORMATION shall exercise reasonable and 

appropriate care with regard to the storage, custody or use of CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION or 

ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY INFORMATION in order to ensure that the confidential nature of the 

same is maintained.

containing CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION or ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY INFORMATION by 

placing a legend on each page of any document that the Designating Entity wishes to protect against 

disclosure or use. The legend shall state “CONFIDENTIAL” or “ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” as 

appropriate. The legends “OUTSIDE LITIGATION COUNSEL EYES ONLY” and “OUTSIDE 

COUNSEL EYES ONLY” shall have the same meaning and effect as the legend “ATTORNEYS’

EYES ONLY.” A designation on a document shall not implicitly apply to any exhibits and/or 

attachments to the document. A designation of CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION or 

ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY INFORMATION as to any thing of which inspection or sample has 

been requested shall be made by placing a legend on the thing or container within which it is stored, or 

by some other means of designation agreed to by the parties. All documents and things shall be 

marked before provision of a physical copy to the other party. Alternatively, documents may be made 

available for an initial inspection by counsel for the Receiving Entity before the designation of 

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION or ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY INFORMATION. In such 

cases, the inspected documents shall be treated as being designated ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY 

INFORMATION according to the terms of this Order, before providing copies to the Receiving 

Entity. Such initial inspection shall not constitute waiver of confidentiality with respect to any 

document so inspected. Copies provided after the inspection shall be marked as set forth in this 

Paragraph. 

 19. Information disclosed at a deposition may be designated as CONFIDENTIAL 

INFORMATION or ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY INFORMATION by either indicating on the 

record at the deposition that the testimony is CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION or ATTORNEYS’ 

EYES ONLY INFORMATION or by notifying the opposing party and the court reporter in writing 

within thirty (30) business days of the receipt of the transcript of those pages and lines that are 

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION or ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY INFORMATION. Such written 

notification shall then be attached by the Receiving Entity and/or court reporter to the transcript and 

each copy thereof in its possession, custody, or control. All transcripts of such testimony shall be 

treated as ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY INFORMATION in their entirety until thirty (30) days 

following receipt of the transcript or receipt of the confidentiality designations if received earlier. 

 20. Subject to paragraph 31 of this Order, this Order is not intended to deal with any 

discovery objections on the grounds of attorney-client privilege, work product immunity, the common 

interest privilege, or other privilege protection afforded by law or to preclude any entity from seeking 

relief either from a provision of this Order or any other relief from this Court which may be 

appropriate under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure or this Court’s local rules.

 21. Nothing herein shall prevent disclosure if the Designating Entity that designated 

information as CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION or ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY 

INFORMATION consents in writing to such disclosure. Nor shall anything herein prevent any 

counsel of the parties from utilizing CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION or ATTORNEYS’ EYES 

ONLY INFORMATION in the deposition of any person who is reasonably alleged to be the author, 

source or recipient of the CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION or ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY 

INFORMATION, irrespective of the Designating Entity that produced such information. 

 22. Nothing in this Order shall bar or otherwise restrict any attorney from rendering advice 

to his/her client with respect to this litigation and, in the course thereof, referring to or relying 

generally upon his examination of documents or information designated as CONFIDENTIAL 

INFORMATION or ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY INFORMATION provided, however, that in 

rendering such advice and in otherwise communicating with his clients, the attorney shall not disclose 

the specific content or the source of such information or documents contrary to the terms of this Order. 

 23. If a Designating Entity, through inadvertence, produces any information designated as 

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION or ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY INFORMATION without 

labeling or marking or otherwise designating it as such in accordance with the provisions of this 

Protective Order, the Designating Entity may give written notice to the Receiving Entity that the 

document or thing produced is deemed CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION or ATTORNEYS’ EYES 

ONLY INFORMATION and should be treated as such in accordance with the provisions of this 

Protective Order. The Receiving Entity shall treat such documents and things as CONFIDENTIAL 

INFORMATION or ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY INFORMATION from the date such notice is 

received. Disclosure, prior to the receipt of such notice, of such information designated as 

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION or ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY INFORMATION to persons not 

authorized to receive such information shall not be deemed a violation of this Protective Order. 

 24. A Receiving Entity shall not be obligated to challenge the propriety of 

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION or ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY INFORMATION designation at 

the time made, and failure to do so shall not preclude a subsequent challenge thereto. In the event that 

any party to this litigation disagrees at any stage of these proceedings with such designation, such

party shall provide to the Designating Entity written notice of its disagreement with the designation. 

The parties shall first try to dispose of such dispute in good faith on an informal basis. If the dispute 

cannot be resolved, the party challenging the designation may request appropriate relief from the 

Court, but in any event, such relief from the Court shall not be requested before ten (10) business days 

after the Designating Entity is served with the required notice of disagreement. The Designating 

Entity shall have the burden of establishing the applicability of the confidentiality designation to the 

particular document or information at issue, except the Receiving Entity shall have the burden of 

proving that the document or information is subject to one of the exceptions set forth in Paragraph 14. 

 25. A Receiving Entity must give the Designating Entity at least ten (10) business days 

written notice before disclosing, for the first time, CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION or 

ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY INFORMATION to an independent expert or consultant. At that time, 

the Receiving Entity shall also provide the name and business address of that expert or consultant, a 

current c.v. for that expert or consultant, a listing of the employment of that expert or consultant, all 

consulting and expert relationships either in support of or adverse to any party to this case (or its 

parents, subsidiaries, or affiliates), and all consulting and expert relationships over the past four years 

in the field of web conferencing technology. Should a Designating Entity have an objection to a 

Receiving Entity’s disclosure of CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION or ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY 

INFORMATION to the designated expert or consultant, the objecting party shall serve written notice 

of its objection upon the party who designated the expert within five (5) business days of designation. 

If a party so objects, the parties shall confer and attempt to resolve the dispute. In the event the parties 

are unable to resolve the objection on an informal basis, the Designating Entity may request, and will 

have the burden to establish entitlement to, appropriate relief from the Court. In any event, such relief 

from the Court shall be requested within twenty (20) business days after the Designating Entity is 

served with the required notice of objection. No disclosure of CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION or 

ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY INFORMATION may be made to a consulting or testifying expert or 

consultant until either (1) the expiration of ten (10) business days after designation of the expert’s 

identity, as set forth above, without objection, or (2) the resolution of a pending motion adverse to the 

party seeking to prevent disclosure. Each party may retain not more than six (6) independent experts

or consultants as set forth in paragraph 6(b) hereinabove. Nothing herein shall prevent the parties 

from agreeing to the designation of alternate or additional technical advisers if the Receiving Entity 

reasonably believes it necessary in the preparation for litigation of this matter to make such additional 

disclosures. 

 26. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION or ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY 

INFORMATION shall not be copied or otherwise reproduced by a Receiving Entity, except for 

transmission to qualified recipients, without the written permission of the Designating Entity, or, in 

the alternative, by further Court Order. Nothing herein shall, however, restrict a qualified recipient 

from making working copies, abstracts, digests and analyses of CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION 

or ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY INFORMATION for use in connection with this litigation and such 

working copies, abstracts, digests and analyses shall be deemed CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION 

or ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY INFORMATION under the terms of this Order. Further, nothing 

herein shall restrict a qualified recipient from converting or translating CONFIDENTIAL 

INFORMATION or ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY INFORMATION into machine readable form for 

incorporation into a data retrieval system used in connection with these actions, provided that access 

to CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION or ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY INFORMATION, in 

whatever form stored or reproduced, shall be limited to qualified recipients. 

 27. This Order shall be without prejudice to the right of any party to oppose production of 

any information for lack of timeliness or relevance or any other ground other than the presence of 

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION or ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY INFORMATION. 

 28. Any of the notice requirements herein may be waived, in whole or in part, but only by a 

writing signed by an attorney of record for the party against whom such waiver is asserted will be 

effective. 

 29. In the event a party having possession, custody or control of any CONFIDENTIAL 

INFORMATION or ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY INFORMATION of the other party receives a 

subpoena, request or other process or order to produce such information in another, unrelated legal 

proceeding, from a non-party to this action, such party shall immediately (a) notify counsel for the 

Designating Entity of the subpoena, request or other process or order, (b) furnish counsel for the

Designating Entity with a copy of said subpoena, request or other process or order in sufficient time 

within which the Designating Entity may take the necessary steps to quash or otherwise object to the 

subpoena or request, and (c) cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be pursued 

by the Designating Entity whose interests may be affected. The Designating Entity asserting the 

CONFIDENTIAL or ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY designation shall have the burden of defending 

against such subpoena, request or other process or order. The party receiving the subpoena, request or 

other process or order shall be entitled to comply with it except to the extent the Designating Entity 

asserting the CONFIDENTIAL or ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY designation has promptly notified 

the party receiving the subpoena, request, other process or order of its intent to take immediate legal 

action to quash the subpoena or respond to the request, in which case the party shall not produce such 

documents while such legal action is pending or the Designating Entity is successful in obtaining an 

order modifying or quashing the subpoena, request or other process or order. 

 30. In the event that a party seeks discovery from a non-party to this action, either the nonparty or the parties may invoke the terms of this Protective Order with respect to any 

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION or ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY INFORMATION provided to 

the parties by the non-party by so advising all parties to this action in writing. Any such non-party 

shall have standing to appear in this action in order to file motions and oppose motions, as necessary, 

to protect such non-party’s rights in its designated materials. 

 31. The following shall not constitute a waiver of the attorney-client privilege, work 

product immunity, common interest privilege, or any other privilege or protection afforded by law 

(“Privilege”): 

 (a) an initial inspection of documents (including physical objects) with respect to 

any document so inspected; or 

 (b) the Designating Entity’s inadvertent or unintentional production of a document 

or physical object that is protected by one or more of the Privileges, if within ten (10) business days 

after learning of an inadvertent production, the Designating Entity designates any such documents as 

within one or more of the Privileges and requests return of any such documents to the Designating 

Entity. Upon request by the Designating Entity for return of any such documents designated as within

one or more of the Privileges, the Receiving Entity shall immediately return to the Designating Entity 

all originals and copies of such document(s). Nothing herein shall prevent the Receiving Entity from 

challenging the propriety of the Privilege designation by submitting a written challenge to the Court 

after such inadvertently produced documents are returned to the Designating Entity. 

 32. This Protective Order governs only discovery. At trial, the parties may redesignate or 

redact CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION or ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY INFORMATION. 

 33. Within 60 days of the conclusion of this action, including any appeals, the originals of 

all produced documents or produced things designated as containing CONFIDENTIAL 

INFORMATION or ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY INFORMATION and remaining subject to this 

Protective Order, and all photocopies thereof, shall, upon request, be returned to the Designating 

Entity or destroyed (at the option of the party in custody of the documents in question), except that 

neither party shall be obliged to return any produced documents or produced things (or photocopies 

thereof) that were admitted into evidence at trial. The outside counsel for each party shall also be 

entitled to retain all pleadings, motion papers, discovery responses, deposition transcripts, legal 

memoranda, correspondence, and any related exhibits. Nothing herein shall prevent each party’s 

counsel from retaining its work product. 

34. This Order is entered without prejudice to the right of any party to apply to the Court at 

any time for additional protection, or to relax or rescind the restrictions of this Order, when 

convenience or necessity requires. 

35. Other than as enumerated above, nothing in this Order shall alter the discovery 

provisions of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the Local Rules of this Court, and/or the Orders of 

this Court. Identification of any individual pursuant to this Protective Order does not make that 

individual available for deposition or any other form of discovery outside of the restrictions and 

procedures of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the Local Rules of this Court, or the Orders of this 

Court.
