8.1 Disclosure of Designated Material to Court Officials. Subject to the 

provisions of this Section 8, Designated Material may be disclosed to the Court, Court officials or 

employees involved in this action (including court reporters, persons operating video recording 

equipment at depositions, and any special master or referee appointed by the Court) and the jury

8.2 Filing Designated Materials with the Court. In applications and motions to

the Court is directed to maintain under seal all documents and transcripts of deposition testimony 

and answers to interrogatories, admissions and other pleadings filed under seal with the Court in 

this litigation that have been designated, in whole or in part, as Designated Material. 

8.3 Retrieval of Designated Materials. If Designated Material is lodged with 

the Court, or submitted to the Court for in camera review, and is not made a part of the record of 

this case through filing, tThe party responsible for lodging or filing submitting the Designated 

Materials shall be responsible for retrieving such Designated Materials from the Court following 

the final termination of the action (including any appeals thereof). Designated Material that is 

filed shall be retained by the Clerk of the Court as a part of the permanent record in this case (and 

if approved for filing under seal, shall be retained permanently under seal). 

8.4 Failure to File Under Seal. If any party fails to file Designated Materials 

are filed without being under sealed, the Designating Party or any party to this action may request 

that the Court place the Designated Materials under seal within twenty (20) days of the filing of 

said Designated Materials. The Clerk of the Court is directed to comply with such request if 

made.

9. Objections. 

9.1 A party may challenge the propriety of any designation under this 

Stipulated Protective Order at any time. A challenge may be made by serving on all other parties 

a captioned notice of objection, which shall identify with particularity the Designated Materials as 

to which the designation is challenged, state the basis for each challenge and propose a specific 

re-designation for each item of Designated Materials for which a challenge is made (“Notice of 

Objection”). Service of a Notice of Objection shall be made by facsimile and by mail. 

9.2 On, but not before, the thirtieth day after service of a Notice of Objection, 

the challenged material shall be deemed redesignated unless the Designating Party has previously 

filed and served by fax or hand delivery a motion for a protective order to maintain the original 

designation or designating the material otherwise. In the event of such a motion, the material at 

issue may be submitted to the Court for in camera inspection. It shall be the burden of the 

Designating Party under such circumstances to establish that the information so designated is 

“CONFIDENTIAL” (i.e., designated for the purpose of avoiding invasions of individual privacy 

and of protecting non-public proprietary information, confidential business, technical and/or 

financial information relating to the Designating Party’s business, technical, personal, or financial 

affairs) or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL” (i.e., designated for the purposes of (i) avoiding 

invasions of individual privacy and (ii) protecting non-public information relating to the 

Designating Party’s business, technical, personal, or financial affairs that derives actual or 

potential independent value from not being generally known to the public or to persons who can 

obtain value from its disclosure) within the meaning of this Protective Order. Upon the timely 

filing of such a motion, the original designations shall remain effective until ten (10) days after 

service of notice of entry of an order redesignating the materials and during the pendency of any 

request for appellate review filed within the ten (10) day period. 

9.3 The parties shall meet and confer in good faith prior to the filing of any 

motion under this Section 9.

10. Client Communication. 

Nothing in this Stipulated Protective Order shall prevent or otherwise restrict counsel 

from rendering advice to their clients and, in the course of rendering such advice, relying upon 

the examination of Designated Material. In rendering such advice and otherwise communicating 

with the client, however, counsel shall not make disclosure of any Designated Material or 

information contained in Designated Material, except as permitted by this Stipulated Protective 

Order. 

11. No Prejudice. 

11.1 This Stipulated Protective Order shall not diminish any existing obligation 

or right with respect to Designated Material, nor shall it prevent a disclosure to which the 

Designating Party consents in writing before the disclosure takes place. 

11.2 Unless both parties stipulate otherwise, evidence of the existence or 

nonexistence of a designation under this Stipulated Protective Order shall not be admissible for 

any purpose during any proceeding on the merits of this action. 

11.3 If any person inadvertently produces any Designated Material without 

marking it with the appropriate legend, the producing party may give written notice to the 

receiving party or parties, including appropriately stamped copies of the Designated Material, that 

the document, thing, or response is deemed Designated Material and should be treated as such in 

accordance with the provisions of this Stipulated Protective Order. Thereafter, such material shall 

be treated in accordance with the provisions of this Stipulated Protective Order. 

11.4 Neither the provisions of this Stipulated Protective Order, nor the filing of 

any material under seal, shall prevent the use in open court, at any hearing, or at trial of this case 

of any material that is subject to this Stipulated Protective Order or filed under seal pursuant to its 

provisions. Prior to trial, the parties shall meet and confer after the pretrial conference concerning 

appropriate methods for dealing with Designated Material at trial, subject to any procedures or 

practices regarding such Designated Material imposed by the trial judge.

12. Modification and Survival. 

12.1 Modification. Both parties reserve the right to seek modification of this 

Stipulated Protective Order at any time for good cause. The parties agree to meet and confer 

prior to seeking to modify this protective order for any reason. The restrictions imposed by this 

Stipulated Protective Order may only be modified or terminated by written stipulation of both 

parties or by order of this Court. 

12.2 Survival and Return of Designated Material. This Stipulated Protective 

Order shall survive termination of this action. Upon final termination of the action, including 

appeals and retrials, and at the written request of the Designating Party, all Designated Material, 

including deposition testimony regarding designated exhibits and all copies thereof, shall be 

returned by any party to the litigation to counsel for the Designating Party or, if such party is not 

represented by counsel, directly to the Designating Party. Such Designated Materials shall either 

be returned at the expense of the Designating Party or, at the option and expense of the 

Designating Party, destroyed. Upon request for the return or destruction of Designated Materials, 

counsel of record shall certify their compliance with this provision and shall deliver such 

certification to counsel for the Designating Party not more than 90 days after the written request 

to return or destroy Designated Materials. 

12.3 Notwithstanding the provisions for return or destruction of Designated 

Material, outside counsel may retain archival copies, in paper and/or electronic media, of 

pleadings, briefs and other documents filed in court. Outside counsel shall have the option to 

destroy all materials containing attorney-client privileged material or material covered by the 

attorney work product doctrine. 

13. No Contract. 

This stipulation is for the Court’s consideration and approval as an order. It shall not be 

construed to create a contract between the parties or between the parties and their respective 

counsel.
