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 

DESIGNATEDMATERIALmay request destruction ofthat ProtectedMaterial 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

ofthe inadvertently or unintentionally produced Protected Materials and any documents,

information ormaterial derived from or based thereon.

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

reasonably believesit 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

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

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

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;

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 Partymay 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

application pertaining to the field of the invention of the patents-in-suit on behalf of the

receiving Party or its acquirer,successor, predecessor, or other affiliate during the

pendency ofthis Action and for one year after its conclusion, including any appeals. To

ensure compliance with the purpose of this provision, each Party shall create an “Ethical

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

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

producingParty, exceptfor any pages containing privileged or otherwise protectedmarkings 

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

producing Party.

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 theDESIGNATEDMATERIALas an author, addressee,

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

action alleged to constitute a violation of this Order.

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

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

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