IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS 

MARSHALL DIVISION 

L2 MOBILE TECHNOLOGIES LLC, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

ONEPLUS TECHNOLOGY (SHENZHEN) 

CO., LTD., 

Defendant. 

Civil Action No. 2:23-cv-00087 

JURY TRIAL DEMANDED 

PROTECTIVE ORDER

WHEREAS, Plaintiff L2 Mobile Technologies LLC and Defendant OnePlus Technology 

Shenzhen Co., Ltd., hereafter referred to as “the Parties,” believe that certain information that is or 

will be encompassed by discovery demands by the Parties involves the production or disclosure 

of trade secrets, confidential business information, or other proprietary information; 

WHEREAS, the Parties seek a protective order limiting disclosure thereof in accordance with 

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(c): 

THEREFORE, it is hereby stipulated among the Parties and ORDERED that: 

1. Each Party may designate as confidential for protection under this Order, in whole or in part, 

any document, information or material that constitutes or includes, in whole or in part, 

confidential or proprietary information or trade secrets of the Party or a Third Party to whom 

the Party reasonably believes it owes an obligation of confidentiality with respect to such 

document, information or material (“Protected Material”). Protected Material shall be 

designated by the Party producing it by affixing a legend or stamp on such document, 

information or material as follows: “CONFIDENTIAL.” The word “CONFIDENTIAL” 

Case 2:23-cv-00087-JRG Document 24 Filed 07/10/23 Page 1 of 15 PageID #: 798
2 

shall be placed clearly on each page of the Protected Material (except deposition and hearing 

transcripts) for which such protection is sought. For deposition and hearing transcripts, the 

word “CONFIDENTIAL” shall be placed on the cover page of the transcript (if not already 

present on the cover page of the transcript when received from the court reporter) by each

attorney receiving a copy of the transcript after that attorney receives notice of the 

designation of some or all of that transcript as “CONFIDENTIAL.” 

2. Any document produced under Patent Rules 2-2, 3-2, and/or 3-4 before issuance of this 

Order with the designation “Confidential” or “Confidential - Outside Attorneys’ Eyes Only” 

shall receive the same treatment as if designated “RESTRICTED – ATTORNEYS’ 

EYES ONLY” under this Order, unless and until such document is redesignated to have a 

different classification under this Order. 

3. With respect to documents, information or material designated “CONFIDENTIAL, 

“RESTRICTED – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,” or “RESTRICTED CONFIDENTIAL 

SOURCE CODE” (“DESIGNATED MATERIAL”),1 subject to the provisions herein and 

unless otherwise stated, this Order governs, without limitation: (a) all documents, 

electronically stored information, and/or things as defined by the Federal Rules of Civil 

Procedure; (b) all pretrial, hearing or deposition testimony, or documents marked as exhibits 

or for identification in depositions and hearings; (c) pretrial pleadings, exhibits to pleadings 

and other court filings; (d) affidavits; and (e) stipulations. All copies, reproductions, 

extracts, digests and complete or partial summaries prepared from any DESIGNATED 

1

 The term DESIGNATED MATERIAL is used throughout this Protective Order to refer 

to the class of materials designated as “CONFIDENTIAL,” “RESTRICTED - ATTORNEYS’ 

EYES ONLY,” or “RESTRICTED CONFIDENTIAL SOURCE CODE,” both individually and 

collectively. 

Case 2:23-cv-00087-JRG Document 24 Filed 07/10/23 Page 2 of 15 PageID #: 799
3 

MATERIALS shall also be considered DESIGNATED MATERIAL and treated as such 

under this Order.

4. A designation of Protected Material (i.e., “CONFIDENTIAL,” “RESTRICTED –

ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,” or “RESTRICTED CONFIDENTIAL SOURCE CODE”) 

may be made at any time. Inadvertent or unintentional production of documents, 

information or material that has not been designated as DESIGNATED MATERIAL shall 

not be deemed a waiver in whole or in part of a claim for confidential treatment. Any party 

that inadvertently or unintentionally produces Protected Material without designating it as 

DESIGNATED MATERIAL may request destruction of that Protected Material by notifying 

the recipient(s), as soon as reasonably possible after the producing Party becomes aware of 

the inadvertent or unintentional disclosure, and providing replacement Protected Material 

that is properly designated. The recipient(s) shall then destroy all copies of the inadvertently 

or unintentionally produced Protected Materials and any documents, information or material 

derived from or based thereon. 

5. “CONFIDENTIAL” documents, information and material may be disclosed only to the 

following persons, except upon receipt of the prior written consent of the designating party, 

upon order of the Court, or as set forth in paragraph 12 herein: 

(a) outside counsel of record in this Action for the Parties; 

(b) employees of such counsel assigned to and reasonably necessary to assist such 

counsel in the litigation of this Action; 

(c) in-house counsel for the Parties who either have responsibility for making decisions 

dealing directly with the litigation of this Action, or who are assisting outside 

counsel in the litigation of this Action; 

(d) up to and including three (3) designated representatives of each of the Parties to the 

extent reasonably necessary for the litigation of this Action, except that either party 

may in good faith request the other party’s consent to designate one or more 

Case 2:23-cv-00087-JRG Document 24 Filed 07/10/23 Page 3 of 15 PageID #: 800
4 

additional representatives, the other party shall not unreasonably withhold such 

consent, and the requesting party may seek leave of Court to designate such 

additional representative(s) if the requesting party believes the other party has 

unreasonably withheld such consent; 

(e) outside consultants or experts (i.e., not existing employees or affiliates of a Party or 

an affiliate of a Party) retained for the purpose of this litigation, provided that: (1) 

such consultants or experts are not presently employed by the Parties hereto for 

purposes other than this Action; (2) before access is given, the consultant or expert 

has completed the Undertaking attached as Exhibit A hereto and the same is served 

upon the producing Party with a current curriculum vitae of the consultant or expert 

at least ten (10) days before access to the Protected Material is to be given to that 

consultant or Undertaking to object to and notify the receiving Party in writing that 

it objects to disclosure of Protected Material to the consultant or expert. The Parties 

agree to promptly confer and use good faith to resolve any such objection. If the 

Parties are unable to resolve any objection, the objecting Party may file a motion 

with the Court within fifteen (15) days of the notice, or within such other time as the 

Parties may agree, seeking a protective order with respect to the proposed disclosure. 

The objecting Party shall have the burden of proving the need for a protective order. 

No disclosure shall occur until all such objections are resolved by agreement or 

Court order; 

(f) independent litigation support services, including persons working for or as court 

reporters, graphics or design services, jury or trial consulting services, and 

photocopy, document imaging, and database services retained by counsel and 

reasonably necessary to assist counsel with the litigation of this Action; and 

(g) the Court and its personnel. 

6. A Party shall designate documents, information or material as “CONFIDENTIAL” only 

upon a good faith belief that the documents, information or material contains confidential 

or proprietary information or trade secrets of the Party or a Third Party to whom the Party 

reasonably believes it owes an obligation of confidentiality with respect to such documents, 

information or material. 

7. Documents, information or material produced pursuant to any discovery request in this 

Action, including but not limited to Protected Material designated as DESIGNATED 

MATERIAL, shall be used by the Parties only in the litigation of this Action and shall not 

be used for any other purpose. Any person or entity who obtains access to DESIGNATED 

Case 2:23-cv-00087-JRG Document 24 Filed 07/10/23 Page 4 of 15 PageID #: 801
5 

MATERIAL or the contents thereof pursuant to this Order shall not make any copies, 

duplicates, extracts, summaries or descriptions of such DESIGNATED MATERIAL or any 

portion thereof except as may be reasonably necessary in the litigation of this Action. Any 

such copies, duplicates, extracts, summaries or descriptions shall be classified 

DESIGNATED MATERIALS and subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Order. 

8. To the extent a producing Party believes that certain Protected Material qualifying to be 

designated CONFIDENTIAL is so sensitive that its dissemination deserves even further 

limitation, the producing Party may designate such Protected Material “RESTRICTED – 

ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,” or to the extent such Protected Material includes computer 

source code and/or live data (that is, data as it exists residing in a database or databases) 

(“Source Code Material”), the producing Party may designate such Protected Material as 

“RESTRICTED CONFIDENTIAL SOURCE CODE.” 

9. For Protected Material designated RESTRICTED – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY, access 

to, and disclosure of, such Protected Material shall be limited to individuals listed in 

paragraphs 5(a-b) and (e-g). 

10. For Protected Material designated RESTRICTED CONFIDENTIAL SOURCE CODE, 

the following additional restrictions apply: 

(a) Access to a Party’s Source Code Material shall be provided only on “stand-alone” 

computer(s) (that is, the computer may not be linked to any network, including a 

local area network (“LAN”), an intranet or the Internet). The stand-alone 

computer(s) may be connected to (i) a printer, or (ii) a device capable of 

temporarily storing electronic copies solely for the limited purposes permitted 

pursuant to paragraphs 10 (h and k) below. Additionally, except as provided in 

paragraph 10(k) below, the stand-alone computer(s) may only be located at the 

offices of the producing Party’s outside counsel or at another location mutually 

agreed upon by the Parties; 

(b) The receiving Party shall make reasonable efforts to restrict its requests for such 

access to the stand-alone computer(s) to normal business hours, which for purposes 

Case 2:23-cv-00087-JRG Document 24 Filed 07/10/23 Page 5 of 15 PageID #: 802
6 

of this paragraph shall be 8:00 a.m. through 6:00 p.m. However, upon reasonable 

notice from the receiving party, the producing Party shall make reasonable efforts to 

accommodate the receiving Party’s request for access to the stand-alone computer(s) 

outside of normal business hours. The Parties agree to cooperate in good faith such 

that maintaining the producing Party’s Source Code Material at the offices of its 

outside counsel or at another location mutually agreed upon by the Parties shall not 

unreasonably hinder the receiving Party’s ability to efficiently and effectively 

conduct the prosecution or defense of this Action; 

(c) The producing Party shall provide the receiving Party with information explaining 

how to start, log on to, and operate the stand-alone computer(s) in order to access the 

produced Source Code Material on the stand-alone computer(s); 

(d) The producing Party will produce Source Code Material in computer searchable 

format on the stand-alone computer(s) as described above; 

(e) Access to Protected Material designated RESTRICTED CONFIDENTIAL 

SOURCE CODE shall be limited to outside counsel and up to three (3) outside 

consultants or experts2 (i.e., not existing employees or affiliates of a Party or an 

affiliate of a Party) retained for the purpose of this litigation and approved to access 

such Protected Materials pursuant to paragraph 5(e) above. A receiving Party may 

include excerpts of Source Code Material in a pleading, exhibit, expert report, 

discovery document, deposition transcript, other Court document, provided that the 

Source Code Documents are appropriately marked under this Order, restricted to 

those who are entitled to have access to them as specified herein, and, if filed with 

the Court, filed under seal in accordance with the Court’s rules, procedures and 

orders; 

(f) To the extent portions of Source Code Material are quoted in a Source Code 

Document, either (1) the entire Source Code Document will be stamped and treated 

as RESTRICTED CONFIDENTIAL SOURCE CODE or (2) those pages containing 

quoted Source Code Material will be separately stamped and treated as 

RESTRICTED CONFIDENTIAL SOURCE CODE; 

(g) Except as set forth in paragraph 10(k) below, no electronic copies of Source Code 

Material shall be made without prior written consent of the producing Party, except 

as necessary to create documents which, pursuant to the Court’s rules, procedures 

and order, must be filed or served electronically; 

(h) The receiving Party shall be permitted to make a reasonable number of printouts and 

2

 For the purposes of this paragraph, an outside consultant or expert is defined to include 

the outside consultant’s or expert’s direct reports and other support personnel, such that the 

disclosure to a consultant or expert who employs others within his or her firm to help in his or her 

analysis shall count as a disclosure to a single consultant or expert. 

Case 2:23-cv-00087-JRG Document 24 Filed 07/10/23 Page 6 of 15 PageID #: 803
7 

photocopies of Source Code Material, all of which shall be designated and clearly 

labeled “RESTRICTED CONFIDENTIAL SOURCE CODE,” and the receiving 

Party shall maintain a log of all such files that are printed or photocopied; 

(i) Should such printouts or photocopies be transferred back to electronic media, such 

media shall be labeled “RESTRICTED CONFIDENTIAL SOURCE CODE” and 

shall continue to be treated as such; 

(j) If the receiving Party’s outside counsel, consultants, or experts obtain printouts or 

photocopies of Source Code Material, the receiving Party shall ensure that such 

outside counsel, consultants, or experts keep the printouts or photocopies in a 

secured locked area in the offices of such outside counsel, consultants, or expert. 

The receiving Party may also temporarily keep the printouts or photocopies at: (i) the 

Court for any proceedings(s) relating to the Source Code Material, for the dates 

associated with the proceeding(s); (ii) the sites where any deposition(s) relating to 

the Source Code Material are taken, for the dates associated with the deposition(s); 

and (iii) any intermediate location reasonably necessary to transport the printouts or 

photocopies (e.g., a hotel prior to a Court proceeding or deposition); and 

(k) A producing Party’s Source Code Material may only be transported by the receiving 

Party at the direction of a person authorized under paragraph 10(e) above to another 

person authorized under paragraph 10(e) above, on paper or removable electronic 

media (e.g., a DVD, CD-ROM, or flash memory “stick”) via hand carry, Federal 

Express or other similarly reliable courier. Source Code Material may not be 

transported or transmitted electronically over a network of any kind, including a 

LAN, an intranet, or the Internet. Source Code Material may only be transported 

electronically for the purpose of Court proceeding(s) or deposition(s) as set forth in 

paragraph 10(j) above and is at all times subject to the transport restrictions set forth 

herein. But, for those purposes only, the Source Code Materials may be loaded onto 

a stand-alone computer. 

11. Any attorney representing a Party, whether in-house or outside counsel, and any person 

associated with a Party who receives and accesses the other Party’s Protected Material that 

is directed to technical information relevant to this action, but excluding non-technical 

financial data, non-technical marketing information, non-technical licensing information, 

or other non-technical business information, and that is designated RESTRICTED – 

ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY and/or RESTRICTED CONFIDENTIAL SOURCE CODE 

(collectively “HIGHLY SENSITIVE MATERIAL”), shall not prepare, prosecute, 

supervise, or assist in the preparation or prosecution of any patent application pertaining to 

Case 2:23-cv-00087-JRG Document 24 Filed 07/10/23 Page 7 of 15 PageID #: 804
8 

the UMTS or 4G/LTE wireless features on behalf of the receiving Party or its acquirer, 

successor, predecessor, or other affiliate during the pendency of this Action and for one year 

after its conclusion, including any appeals. To avoid any doubt, nothing in this Order shall 

prohibit any attorney from representing a Party, whether in-house or Outside Counsel, and 

any person associated with a Party from assisting, supervising, or otherwise participating 

in the defense of any claim in an issued patent during an inter partes review, ex parte

reeexamination, or inter partes reexamination, but such attorney or person cannot assist, 

supervise, or otherwise participate in the amendment of any claim of any patent pertaining 

to UMTS or 4G/LTE wireless features during the pendency of this Action and for one year 

after its conclusion, including any appeals. Nothing in this Order shall prevent any attorney 

from sending non-confidential prior art to an attorney involved in patent prosecution for 

purposes of ensuring that such prior art is submitted to the U.S. Patent and Trademark 

Office (or any similar agency of a foreign government) to assist a patent applicant in 

complying with its duty of candor. 

12. Nothing in this Order shall require production of documents, information or other material 

that a Party contends is protected from disclosure by the attorney-client privilege, the work 

product doctrine, or other privilege, doctrine, or immunity. If documents, information or 

other material subject to a claim of attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine, or other 

privilege, doctrine, or immunity is inadvertently or unintentionally produced, such 

production shall in no way prejudice or otherwise constitute a waiver of, or estoppel as to, 

any such privilege, doctrine, or immunity. Any Party that inadvertently or unintentionally 

produces documents, information or other material it reasonably believes are protected under 

the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine, or other privilege, doctrine, or immunity 

Case 2:23-cv-00087-JRG Document 24 Filed 07/10/23 Page 8 of 15 PageID #: 805
9 

may obtain the return of such documents, information or other material by promptly 

notifying the recipient(s) and providing a privilege log for the inadvertently or 

unintentionally produced documents, information or other material. The recipient(s) shall 

gather and return all copies of such documents, information or other material to the 

producing Party, except for any pages containing privileged or otherwise protected markings 

by the recipient(s), which pages shall instead be destroyed and certified as such to the 

producing Party. 

13. There shall be no disclosure of any DESIGNATED MATERIAL by any person authorized 

to have access thereto to any person who is not authorized for such access under this Order. 

The Parties are hereby ORDERED to safeguard all such documents, information and 

material to protect against disclosure to any unauthorized persons or entities. 

14. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to prejudice any Party’s right to use any 

DESIGNATED MATERIAL in taking testimony at any deposition or hearing provided that 

the DESIGNATED MATERIAL is only disclosed to a person(s) who is: (i) eligible to have 

access to the DESIGNATED MATERIAL by virtue of his or her employment with the 

designating party, (ii) identified in the DESIGNATED MATERIAL as an author, addressee, 

or copy recipient of such information, (iii) although not identified as an author, addressee, 

or copy recipient of such DESIGNATED MATERIAL, has, in the ordinary course of 

business, seen such DESIGNATED MATERIAL, (iv) a current or former officer, director 

or employee of the producing Party or a current or former officer, director or employee of 

a company affiliated with the producing Party; (v) counsel for a Party, including outside 

counsel and in-house counsel (subject to paragraph 9 of this Order); (vi) an independent 

contractor, consultant, and/or expert retained for the purpose of this litigation; (vii) court 

Case 2:23-cv-00087-JRG Document 24 Filed 07/10/23 Page 9 of 15 PageID #: 806
10 

reporters and videographers; (viii) the Court; or (ix) other persons entitled hereunder to 

access to DESIGNATED MATERIAL. DESIGNATED MATERIAL shall not be disclosed 

to any other persons unless prior authorization is obtained from counsel representing the 

producing Party or from the Court. 

15. Parties may, at the deposition or hearing or within thirty (30) days after receipt of a 

deposition or hearing transcript, designate the deposition or hearing transcript or any portion 

thereof as “CONFIDENTIAL,” “RESTRICTED - ATTORNEY’ EYES ONLY,” or 

“RESTRICTED CONFIDENTIAL SOURCE CODE” pursuant to this Order. Access to the 

deposition or hearing transcript so designated shall be limited in accordance with the terms 

of this Order. Until expiration of the 30-day period, the entire deposition or hearing 

transcript shall be treated as confidential. 

16. Any DESIGNATED MATERIAL that is filed with the Court shall be filed under seal and 

shall remain under seal until further order of the Court. The filing party shall be responsible 

for informing the Clerk of the Court that the filing should be sealed and for placing the 

legend “FILED UNDER SEAL PURSUANT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER” above the 

caption and conspicuously on each page of the filing. Exhibits to a filing shall conform to 

the labeling requirements set forth in this Order. If a pretrial pleading filed with the Court, 

or an exhibit thereto, discloses or relies on confidential documents, information or material, 

such confidential portions shall be redacted to the extent necessary and the pleading or 

exhibit filed publicly with the Court. 

17. The Order applies to pretrial discovery. Nothing in this Order shall be deemed to prevent 

the Parties from introducing any DESIGNATED MATERIAL into evidence at the trial of 

this Action, or from using any information contained in DESIGNATED MATERIAL at 

Case 2:23-cv-00087-JRG Document 24 Filed 07/10/23 Page 10 of 15 PageID #: 807
11 

the trial of this Action, subject to any pretrial order issued by this Court.

18. A Party may request in writing to the other Party that the designation given to any 

DESIGNATED MATERIAL be modified or withdrawn. If the designating Party does not 

agree to redesignation within ten (10) days of receipt of the written request, the requesting 

Party may apply to the Court for relief. Upon any such application to the Court, the burden 

shall be on the designating Party to show why its classification is proper. Such application 

shall be treated procedurally as a motion to compel pursuant to Federal Rules of Civil 

Procedure 37, subject to the Rule’s provisions relating to sanctions. In making such 

application, the requirements of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and the Local Rules 

of the Court shall be met. Pending the Court’s determination of the application, the 

designation of the designating Party shall be maintained. 

19. Each outside consultant or expert to whom DESIGNATED MATERIAL is disclosed in 

accordance with the terms of this Order shall be advised by counsel of the terms of this 

Order, shall be informed that he or she is subject to the terms and conditions of this Order, 

and shall sign an acknowledgment that he or she has received a copy of, has read, and has 

agreed to be bound by this Order. A copy of the acknowledgment form is attached as 

Appendix A. 

20. To the extent that any discovery is taken of persons who are not Parties to this Action 

(“Third Parties”) and in the event that such Third Parties contended the discovery sought 

involves trade secrets, confidential business information, or other proprietary information, 

then such Third Parties may agree to be bound by this Order. 

21. To the extent that discovery or testimony is taken of Third Parties, the Third Parties may 

designate as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “RESTRICTED – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” 

Case 2:23-cv-00087-JRG Document 24 Filed 07/10/23 Page 11 of 15 PageID #: 808
12 

any documents, information or other material, in whole or in part, produced or given by 

such Third Parties. The Third Parties shall have ten (10) days after production of such 

documents, information or other materials to make such a designation. Until that time 

period lapses or until such a designation has been made, whichever occurs sooner, all 

documents, information or other material so produced or given shall be treated as 

“CONFIDENTIAL” in accordance with this Order. 

22. Within thirty (30) days of final termination of this Action, including any appeals, all 

DESIGNATED MATERIAL, including all copies, duplicates, abstracts, indexes, summaries, 

descriptions, and excerpts or extracts thereof (excluding excerpts or extracts incorporated 

into any privileged memoranda of the Parties and materials which have been admitted into 

evidence in this Action), shall at the producing Party’s election either be returned to the 

producing Party or be destroyed. The receiving Party shall verify the return or destruction 

by affidavit furnished to the producing Party, upon the producing Party’s request. 

23. The failure to designate documents, information or material in accordance with this Order 

and the failure to object to a designation at a given time shall not preclude the filing of a 

motion at a later date seeking to impose such designation or challenging the propriety 

thereof. The entry of this Order and/or the production of documents, information and 

material hereunder shall in no way constitute a waiver of any objection to the furnishing 

thereof, all such objections being hereby preserved. 

24. Any Party knowing or believing that any other party is in violation of or intends to violate 

this Order and has raised the question of violation or potential violation with the opposing 

party and has been unable to resolve the matter by agreement may move the Court for such 

relief as may be appropriate in the circumstances. Pending disposition of the motion by the 

Case 2:23-cv-00087-JRG Document 24 Filed 07/10/23 Page 12 of 15 PageID #: 809
13 

Court, the Party alleged to be in violation of or intending to violate this Order shall 

discontinue the performance of and/or shall not undertake the further performance of any 

action alleged to constitute a violation of this Order. 

25. Production of DESIGNATED MATERIAL by each of the Parties shall not be deemed a 

publication of the documents, information and material (or the contents thereof) produced 

so as to void or make voidable whatever claim the Parties may have as to the proprietary and 

confidential nature of the documents, information or other material or its contents. 

26. Nothing in this Order shall be construed to effect an abrogation, waiver or limitation of any 

kind on the rights of each of the Parties to assert any applicable discovery or trial privilege. 

27. Each of the Parties shall also retain the right to file a motion with the Court (a) to modify this 

Order to allow disclosure of DESIGNATED MATERIAL to additional persons or entities 

if reasonably necessary to prepare and present this Action and (b) to apply for additional 

protection of DESIGNATED MATERIAL.
