[PROPOSED] STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

1

proprietary information not generally known to the public that the designating party

2

would not disclose to competitors or third parties within the ordinary course of

3

business. Discovery Material containing Confidential Information is referred to as

4

“Confidential Material.”

5

3.

Particular examples of Confidential Information include, without

6

limitation, internal engineering, marketing, or financial documents, documents

7

containing information regarded by third parties as confidential; information

8

19

been published to the general public; (ii) information that the receiving party can

20

show was lawfully in the receiving party’s possession prior to being designated as

Confidential Material; or (vi) information that was submitted to a governmental

3

entity without request for confidential treatment.

5

DESIGNATING PROTECTED INFORMATION
5.

In determining the scope of information that a party may designate as

6

its Confidential Material, each party acknowledges the importance of client access

7

to information necessary to client decision-making in the prosecution or defense of

8

litigation, and therefore agrees that designations of information as Confidential

9

Material and responses to requests to permit further disclosure of Confidential

10

Material shall be made in good faith and not (1) to impose burden or delay on an

11

opposing party or (2) for tactical or other advantage in litigation.

12

6.

All designations of Confidential material shall be made in good faith.

13

7.

The producing party shall label or mark each document and thing that

14

it deems to be Confidential Materials with the following term:

15
16

“CONFIDENTIAL — OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY”
8.

The parties acknowledge that a distinct level of protection is required

17

for certain Confidential Materials as to which CONFIDENTIAL — OUTSIDE

18

COUNSEL ONLY designation would not provide adequate protection to the

19

interests of the designating party and whose wrongful dissemination could result in

20

irreparable harm to the designating party. Such information may be designated as

21

“Highly Restricted Confidential” by labeling or marking each such document or

22

thing with one of the following terms:

23

“HIGHLY RESTRICTED CONFIDENTIAL”

24

Such designations shall be used only for source code, executable code, microcode,

25

RTL, HDL, or other documents or electronic files used in network operations,

26

comments for source code or network operation files, revision histories, or other

27

material whose wrongful dissemination could result in irreparable harm to the

28

designating party.
4

CASE NO. CV11-02409 AHM (JEMX)
[PROPOSED] STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

1

9.

The labeling or marking of a document or tangible thing with the

2

designation “CONFIDENTIAL — OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY” or “HIGHLY

3

RESTRICTED CONFIDENTIAL” shall be made when a copy of the document or

4

thing is provided to the receiving party by placing the legend “CONFIDENTIAL —

5

OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY” or “HIGHLY RESTRICTED CONFIDENTIAL”

6

on the face of each such document or thing.

7

10.

Any such designation that is inadvertently omitted or mis-designated

8

may be corrected by written notification to counsel for the receiving party, and the

9

receiving party shall thereafter mark and treat the materials as “CONFIDENTIAL

10

— OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY” or “HIGHLY RESTRICTED

11

CONFIDENTIAL” as appropriate, and such material shall be subject to this

12

Protective Order as if it had been initially so designated. If, prior to receiving such

13

notice, the receiving party has disseminated the Confidential Material to individuals

14

not authorized to receive it hereunder, it shall make a reasonable effort to retrieve

15

the Confidential Material or to otherwise assure that the recipient(s) properly mark

16

the Confidential Material and maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential

17

Material, but shall have no other responsibility or obligation with respect to the

18

information disseminated.

19

11.

In the case of deposition upon oral examination or written questions,

20

such testimony shall be deemed “CONFIDENTIAL — OUTSIDE COUNSEL

21

ONLY” until the expiration of thirty (30) days after the deposition unless otherwise

22

designated at the time of the deposition or during the thirty (30) day period. Pages

23

or entire transcripts of testimony given at a deposition or hearing may be designated

24

as containing “CONFIDENTIAL — OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY” or “HIGHLY

25

RESTRICTED CONFIDENTIAL” information by an appropriate statement either

26

at the time of the giving of such testimony or by written notification within thirty

27

(30) days after the deposition. If the testimony is not otherwise designated at the

28

time of the deposition or during the thirty (30) day period after the deposition, the
5

CASE NO. CV11-02409 AHM (JEMX)
[PROPOSED] STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

1
2

testimony will not be deemed Confidential Material.
12.

In the case of written discovery responses and the information

3

contained therein, the responses may be designated as containing

4

“CONFIDENTIAL — OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY” or “HIGHLY

5

RESTRICTED CONFIDENTIAL” information by means of a statement at the

6

conclusion of each response that contains such information specifying the level of

7

designation of the Confidential Information and by placing a legend of the front

8

page of such discovery responses stating: “CONTAINS CONFIDENTIAL

9

INFORMATION/[the highest level of designation contained in the answers].” Any

10

such designation that is inadvertently omitted or mis-designated may be corrected

11

within thirty (30) days of service of such discovery responses by written

12

notification to counsel for the receiving party, and the receiving party shall

13

thereafter mark and treat the materials as “CONFIDENTIAL — OUTSIDE

14

COUNSEL ONLY” or “HIGHLY RESTRICTED CONFIDENTIAL,” as

15

appropriate, and such material shall be subject to this Protective Order as if it had

16

been initially so designated. If, prior to receiving such notice, the receiving party

17

has disseminated the Confidential Material to individuals not authorized to receive

18

it hereunder, it shall make a reasonable effort to retrieve the Confidential Material

19

or to otherwise assure that the recipient(s) properly mark and maintain the

20

confidentiality of the Confidential Material, but shall have no other responsibility or

21

obligation with respect to the information disseminated.

22

13.

In the case of Confidential Information not reduced to documentary or

23

tangible form or which cannot be conveniently designated as set forth above, such

24

information may be designated “CONFIDENTIAL — OUTSIDE COUNSEL

25

ONLY” or “HIGHLY RESTRICTED CONFIDENTIAL” information by informing

26

the receiving party of the designation in writing either at the time of transfer of such

27

information or within thirty (30) days after the transfer of such information.

28

14.

Any documents or tangible things other than source code made

accordance with Local Rule 79-5. Where reasonably practicable, only the portions

14

of documents consisting of such items or information shall be lodged under seal.

15

25.

The acceptance by a party of documents designated as

16

CONFIDENTIAL — OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY or HIGHLY RESTRICTED

17

CONFIDENTIAL shall not constitute an agreement, admission or concession, or

18

permit an inference, that the material(s) are in fact properly the subject for

19

protection under Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(c), or some other basis. Documents designated

20

CONFIDENTIAL — OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY or HIGHLY RESTRICTED

21

CONFIDENTIAL shall be treated in accordance with the provisions of this

22

Protective Order, except that any party may at any time seek an Order from the

23

Court determining that specified information or categories of information are not

24

properly designated as CONFIDENTIAL — OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY or

25

HIGHLY RESTRICTED CONFIDENTIAL. Before making such a motion, the

26

parties shall meet and confer in good faith to resolve any differences over the

27

designation. In response to the filing of such a motion, the party asserting

28

confidentiality shall have the burden of proving that the Confidential Material in
14

CASE NO. CV11-02409 AHM (JEMX)
[PROPOSED] STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

1

question is protectable under Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(c) or some other basis, or, as the

2

case may be, that the designation of CONFIDENTIAL — OUTSIDE COUNSEL

3

ONLY or HIGHLY RESTRICTED CONFIDENTIAL is necessary under the

4

circumstances. A party shall not be obligated to challenge the propriety of a

5

designation of Confidential Material at the time made, and failure to do so shall not

6

preclude subsequent challenge. Should any party (or non-party) seek an Order from

7

the Court to determine whether specified information or categories of information

8

are not properly designated as CONFIDENTIAL — OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY

9

or HIGHLY RESTRICTED CONFIDENTIAL, the claimed designation shall

10

remain operative and respected by all the parties and non-parties pending the

11

Court’s ruling.

12

26.

Nothing in this Protective Order shall require disclosure of material

13

that a party contends is protected from disclosure by the attorney-client privilege or

14

the attorney work-product immunity, or any other applicable privilege or protection

15

(e.g., common interest, joint defense). This shall not preclude any party from

16

moving the Court for an Order directing the disclosure of such material.

17

27.

Inadvertent production or disclosure of documents or information

18

subject to the attorney-client privilege, work product immunity, or any other

19

applicable privilege shall not constitute a waiver of, nor a prejudice to, any claim

20

that such or related material is privileged or protected by the work product

21

immunity or any other applicable privilege. A producing party may notify the

22

receiving party in writing that produced documents or information are subject to the

23

attorney-client privilege, work product immunity, or any other applicable privilege

24

and that such documents were inadvertently produced. Within five (5) business

25

days of this notice, the receiving party shall return or destroy all such documents or

26

information and all copies thereof, including those that have been shared with

27

experts, consultants, and vendors, and confirm in writing that all such documents or

28

information have been returned or destroyed. In the absence of a court order
15

CASE NO. CV11-02409 AHM (JEMX)
[PROPOSED] STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

1

ordering production of the returned documents, no use shall be made of such

2

documents during depositions, through motion practice, or at trial. In the case of

3

such returned production, the producing party shall provide a privilege log

4

identifying such documents or information within ten (10) business days of its

5

original notice to the receiving party. The receiving party may move the Court for

6

an Order compelling production of any such documents or information in

7

accordance with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. That motion shall not assert

8

as a ground for production the fact of the earlier production nor shall the motion

9

disclose or otherwise use the content of the previously produced and returned

10

documents or information except to disprove a claim of privilege or work product

11

immunity. Any portion of the motion that discloses or uses the content of the

12

previously produced and returned documents or information to disprove a claim of

13

privilege or work product immunity shall be redacted from the public record and

14

filed in camera.

15

28.

In the event of any accidental or inadvertent disclosure of Confidential

16

Material other than in a manner authorized by this Protective Order, counsel for the

17

party responsible for the disclosure shall immediately notify opposing counsel of all

18

the pertinent facts, and make every effort to prevent further unauthorized disclosure

19

including retrieving all copies of the Confidential Material from the recipient(s)

20

thereof and securing the agreement of the recipients not to further disseminate the

21

Confidential Material in any form. Compliance with the foregoing shall not

22

prevent a party from seeking further relief from the Court.

23

29.

In addition to the specific requirements set forth in paragraph 16

24

hereof regarding the handling of HIGHLY RESTRICTED CONFIDENTIAL

25

materials, the recipient of any Confidential Material shall maintain such

26

information in a secure and safe place, and shall exercise at least the same degree of

27

care in handling the Confidential Material as is exercised by the recipient with

28

respect to its own Confidential Material and to confidential information of a similar
16

CASE NO. CV11-02409 AHM (JEMX)
[PROPOSED] STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

1

nature, but in no event less than due care. Each recipient of any Confidential

2

Material hereby agrees to be subject to the jurisdiction of this Court for purposes of

3

the implementation and enforcement of this Protective Order.

4

30.

This Protective Order shall not prevent the parties from applying to the

5

Court for relief therefrom or modification thereto, or from applying to the Court for

6

further or additional relief by way of protective orders or otherwise, or from

7

agreeing between themselves to modifications of this Protective Order.

8
9

31.

Confidential Materials shall be used solely for the purposes of this

Litigation and shall not be used for any other purpose except as expressly provided

10

herein or by further Order of the Court. Those persons subject to this Order,

11

including Outside Counsel, shall exercise reasonable care to ensure that information

12

protected under this Order is used only for the purposes specified herein, and

13

disclosed only to authorized persons.

14

32.

In the event that a party desires to provide access to or disseminate

15

Confidential Materials to any person not entitled to access under this Protective

16

Order, it may move the Court for an order that such person be given access thereto

17

if the parties cannot, after negotiating in good faith, agree to such additional access

18

or dissemination.

19

33.

Within thirty (30) days after the final conclusion of this Litigation

20

(“Termination of Litigation”), including any appeals, all Confidential Materials

21

(except HIGHLY RESTRICTED CONFIDENTIAL materials) produced by any

22

party, and all copies of such information, shall be returned to the producing party,

23

or counsel of record shall certify in writing that such material has been destroyed.

24

Within ten (10) days after the final conclusion of this Litigation, including any

25

appeals, all HIGHLY RESTRICTED CONFIDENTIAL materials produced by any

26

party shall be returned to the producing party along with certification by outside

27

counsel of record and any other individuals who accessed such materials that all

28

such materials have been returned. Counsel of record may retain a copy of all
17

CASE NO. CV11-02409 AHM (JEMX)
[PROPOSED] STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

1

correspondence, pleadings, motion papers, discovery responses, deposition and trial

2

transcripts, legal memoranda, work product and any document that has been filed

3

with the Court under seal.

4
5
6

34.

This Protective Order shall survive the final termination of this

Litigation with respect to any retained Confidential Materials.
35.

Nothing in this Protective Order shall prevent or otherwise restrict

7

outside counsel from rendering advice to their clients and, in the course thereof,

8

relying generally on Confidential Material; provided, however, that in rendering

9

such advice counsel shall not disclose, reveal or describe any such materials except

10
11

insofar as allowed (if allowed at all) under the terms of this Order.
36.

If a party wishes to use Confidential Material at the examination by

12

deposition of any witness not entitled to have access to such Confidential Materials,

13

such Party shall obtain the consent of the producing party, in advance, and the

14

failure of the examining attorney to obtain such consent or order of the Court shall

15

not be grounds for delaying the deposition. Where Confidential Material may be

16

revealed or referred to in a question that will be put to the witness at a deposition

17

upon oral examination or Confidential Materials will be used as exhibits during the

18

examination, the producing party may require that all persons in attendance who are

19

not entitled access to such Confidential Material under this Protective Order leave

20

the room until such line of inquiry is completed. Where Confidential Material may

21

be revealed or referred to in a question that will be put to the witness at trial upon

22

oral examination or Confidential Materials will be used as exhibits during the

23

examination, the producing party may request that the Court require that all persons

24

in attendance who are not entitled access to such Confidential Material under this

25

Protective Order leave the courtroom until such line of inquiry is completed.

26

37.

No copy of any transcript of any deposition which is designated, in

27

part or in whole, as CONFIDENTIAL — OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY or

28

HIGHLY RESTRICTED CONFIDENTIAL shall be furnished by the court reporter
18

CASE NO. CV11-02409 AHM (JEMX)
[PROPOSED] STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

1

to any person other than to counsel of record and counsel for a non-party, if the

2

furnished transcript is of the non-party’s own deposition. The original of any

3

transcript of any deposition designated as CONFIDENTIAL — OUTSIDE

4

COUNSEL ONLY or HIGHLY RESTRICTED CONFIDENTIAL, if required to be

5

filed, shall be filed with the Court under seal in accordance with paragraph 24

6

hereof, unless otherwise agreed by the producing party.

7

38.

The terms of this Protective Order may be applied to the Confidential

8

Materials of a non-party, as long as that non-party agrees in writing to be bound by

9

the terms of this Protective Order.

10

39.

If Designated Information in the possession, custody, or control of any

11

receiving party is sought by subpoena, request for production of documents,

12

interrogatories, or any other form of discovery request or compulsory process, the

13

receiving party to whom the discovery request or compulsory process is directed

14

shall within three (3) business days after receipt thereof give written notice by hand,

15

certified mail, facsimile, or electronic transmission of such discovery request or

16

compulsory process to the producing party, and provide the producing party with a

17

copy of the discovery request or compulsory process. If the producing party timely

18

makes a motion to quash, and to the extent permitted by law, the receiving party

19

shall withhold such Designated Information until disposition of any such motion to

20

quash.

21

40.

By affixing their signatures below, the parties agree to abide by the

22

terms of this Stipulation until this Protective Order or a further protective order is

23

entered by the Court. Upon the signing of this Order by the District Court Judge,

24

this Protective Order shall be effective as against all party signatories hereto as of

25

the date of such signature of that party or party's representative, thereby rendering

26

this Protective Order effective nunc pro tunc to the date of such party’s signature.
