Therefore, IT IS ORDERED as follows: 3 4 5 1. DEFINITIONS 6 1.1 As used herein, the term “Confidential Information” shall mean: (a) 7 any type of information that has not been made generally available to the public 8 and the disclosure of which the disclosing party or third party contends would 9 cause serious harm to the disclosing party’s or third party’s business operations or 10 interests, including, but not limited to, contracts for personal services, customer 11 lists, customer data, costs of goods or services sold, manufacturing or other costs 12 of doing business, employee salaries, marketing plans, financial performance data, 13 sales records, inventory sheets, and manufacturing, product development, and 14 business development strategies; (b) data derived from such Confidential 15 Information, including any summaries, compilations, quotes, or paraphrases 16 thereof; (c) any other oral, written, or recorded material that consists of or contains 17 trade secrets (as defined in California Civil Code § 3426.1(d)) or other confidential 18 research, development, or commercial information (as referred to in Fed. R. Civ. P. 19 26(c)(1)(G)); or (d) any other information that the designating party reasonably 20 believes (1) constitutes proprietary information, confidential business information, 21 information that the designating party may need, for any business, employment or 22 competitive purposes, to be protected from disclosure, trade secrets, and/or 23 information in which the party or any third party has a privacy interest, or (2) is 24 subject to protection from disclosure, or limitation upon disclosure, under 25 applicable law. 26 1.2 27 Mitchell Silberberg & Knupp LLP As used herein, the terms “document,” “documents,” “tangible things,” “recordings,” and “photographs” mean documents, writings, tangible 28 5030378.1/44939-00001 2 [PROPOSED] PROTECTIVE ORDER 1 things, recordings, and photographs as defined in Fed. R. Civ. P. 34(a) and Fed. R. 2 Evid. 1001, and include, but are not limited to, records, exhibits, reports, samples, 3 transcripts, video or audio recordings, disks, affidavits, briefs, summaries, notes, 4 abstracts, drawings, company records and reports, answers to interrogatories, 5 responses to requests for admissions, and motions, including copies or computer- 6 stored versions of any of the foregoing. 7 8 2. DESIGNATION OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION 9 2.1 This PROTECTIVE ORDER applies to all discovery responses, 10 documents, testimony, and other information or materials containing Confidential 11 Information disclosed in this action that are designated by a party or third party as 12 CONFIDENTIAL or HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY, 13 as defined below, whether such disclosure is by order of the Court or by response 14 to questions in a deposition, written interrogatories, requests for the production of 15 documents and other tangible things, requests for admission, Rule 45 subpoenas to 16 third parties, or any other discovery undertaken in this action. 17 2.2 Any party or third party responding to discovery in this action shall 18 have the right to designate any document, testimony, or other information or 19 material as “Highly Confidential – Attorneys’ Eyes Only.” “Highly Confidential – 20 Attorneys’ Eyes Only” information is information that the designating party 21 reasonably believes contains Confidential Information which reasonably requires 22 for its protection to be treated as “Highly Confidential – Attorneys’ Eyes Only.” 23 2.3 Such designation shall be accomplished by placing the notation 24 25 ONLY” on every page of each document or portion thereof so designated. In the 26 case of Confidential Information disclosed in a non-paper medium (e.g., videotape, 27 Mitchell Silberberg & Knupp LLP “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES audiotape, computer disks, etc.), the appropriate notation shall be affixed to the 28 5030378.1/44939-00001 3 [PROPOSED] PROTECTIVE ORDER 1 outside of the medium or its container so as to clearly give notice of the 2 designation. Such designation is deemed to apply to the document itself and to the 3 Confidential Information contained therein. 2.4 4 Confidential Information so designated shall be used only for the 5 purposes of this litigation and may not be used by any party to whom or which that 6 information is produced or disclosed for research, development, sales, marketing, 7 publicity, or competitive purposes, or any other purpose. Confidential Information 8 so designated shall not be disclosed to anyone other than those persons identified 9 in Paragraphs 4.3 and 4.4, infra, except as may be ordered by the Court or agreed 10 to in writing by the parties. If any information designated by a party or third party 11 as CONFIDENTIAL or HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES 12 ONLY is thereafter used by a party to whom or which it has been produced or 13 disclosed as part of a paper filed or lodged with the Court in this action or in a 14 response to a discovery request in this action, the party using that information shall 15 take all reasonable steps to preserve the continued confidentiality of that 16 designated Confidential Information. This includes maintaining the designation of 17 confidentiality in all places where that information is so used and requesting that 18 such information is filed or lodged with the Court under seal in accordance with 19 the procedures of C.D. Cal. Local Rule 79-5.1. 2.5 20 The parties and any third parties responding to discovery in this action 21 shall use reasonable care to avoid designating any materials as CONFIDENTIAL 22 or HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY that are: (a) not 23 entitled to such designation, or (b) generally available to the public. 24 25 3. DEPOSITIONS 26 3.1 With respect to the examination of witnesses upon oral deposition, 27 Mitchell Silberberg & Knupp LLP when designated Confidential Information is supplied to the deponent, or when the 28 5030378.1/44939-00001 4 [PROPOSED] PROTECTIVE ORDER 1 deponent’s testimony contains, reflects, or comments on designated Confidential 2 Information, the deposition reporter and/or videotape operator shall be informed of 3 this PROTECTIVE ORDER by the party or third party seeking to invoke its 4 protection, and will be required to agree to be bound by its terms. The reporter 5 and/or videotape operator then shall place on the cover of any deposition transcript 6 or videotape that contains any designated Confidential Information the words 7 “CONTAINS CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION SUBJECT TO A COURT 8 PROTECTIVE ORDER.” Counsel for the parties then shall take appropriate steps 9 to prevent any portions of any deposition transcript or videotape designated 10 CONFIDENTIAL or HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY 11 from being disclosed to any person, except as provided in this PROTECTIVE 12 ORDER. 13 3.2 Testimony at a deposition may be designated CONFIDENTIAL or 14 HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY if this PROTECTIVE 15 ORDER is invoked at the deposition by counsel for a party or third party or the 16 deponent. The designating party or third party also may, within thirty (30) days 17 after receiving a copy of the deposition transcript, provide all parties with a written 18 list of the page(s) of the deposition transcript, and any exhibits attached thereto, 19 that the party or third party designates as CONFIDENTIAL or HIGHLY 20 CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY. If a deponent has disclosed 21 something at a deposition that a party or third party believes constitutes 22 Confidential Information and should be designated as such, the party or third party 23 so believing can go back during the deposition and designate that information as 24 may be appropriate. 3.3 25 26 Each deponent to whom any party or third party proposes to disclose designated Confidential Information at a deposition, trial, or other proceeding shall 27 Mitchell Silberberg & Knupp LLP 28 5030378.1/44939-00001 5 [PROPOSED] PROTECTIVE ORDER 1 be given a copy of this PROTECTIVE ORDER and informed of its contents and 2 the parties shall take all reasonable steps to have such witnesses abide by the same. 3.4 3 If designated Confidential Information is to be discussed or disclosed 4 in a deposition, any party or third party claiming such confidentiality may exclude 5 from the room any person who is not entitled to receive such Confidential 6 Information during that portion of the deposition in which the Confidential 7 Information is actually discussed or disclosed. If designated Confidential 8 Information is to be discussed or disclosed at a hearing or at trial, the parties may 9 request that the Court exclude from the courtroom any person who is not entitled to 10 receive such Confidential Information during that portion of the hearing or trial in 11 which the Confidential Information is actually discussed or disclosed. 12 13 4. 14 DISCLOSURE OF DESIGNATED CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION 15 4.1 The parties, counsel for the parties, and all persons who view 16 designated Confidential Information shall maintain all information designated as 17 CONFIDENTIAL or HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY 18 in confidence and shall not disclose such information, directly or indirectly, to any 19 person except as provided in this PROTECTIVE ORDER. 20 4.2 While the disclosure of Confidential Information designated 21 CONFIDENTIAL or HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY 22 to persons not authorized by this PROTECTIVE ORDER could, by definition, be 23 prejudicial to the business, operations, or interests of the designating party or third 24 party, the designations should not be overused. 25 26 4.3 Access to Confidential Information designated as CONFIDENTIAL shall be limited to the following persons: 27 Mitchell Silberberg & Knupp LLP 28 5030378.1/44939-00001 6 [PROPOSED] PROTECTIVE ORDER 1 4.3.1 Outside and in-house counsel for the parties and their 2 support personnel such as paralegal assistants, secretarial, stenographic and clerical 3 employees and contractors, and outside copying services who are working on this 4 litigation under the direction of such attorneys and to whom it is necessary that the 5 materials be disclosed for purposes of this litigation. 4.3.2 6 Bona fide experts and/or consultants (together with their 7 clerical staff) retained by counsel of record on behalf of the parties for purposes of 8 this litigation. 4.3.3 9 Pursuant to Paragraphs 3.1 through 3.4, supra, deponents 10 at their depositions. Counsel should have a good faith belief that such disclosure is 11 necessary before disclosing designated Confidential Information to the deponent. 12 4.3.4 Court reporter(s) employed in this litigation. 13 4.3.5 The parties to this action, as well as current officers, 14 directors, and employees of the parties to this action that are corporate entities. 4.3.6 15 The Court and its staff, mediators used in settlement 16 proceedings in this action and their staff, and members of a jury impaneled for a 17 trial in this action. 4.4 18 Access to Confidential Information designated as HIGHLY 19 CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY shall be limited to the 20 following persons: 21 4.4.1 Outside and in-house counsel for the parties and their 22 support personnel such as paralegal assistants, secretarial, stenographic and clerical 23 employees and contractors, and outside copying services who are working on this 24 litigation under the direction of such attorneys and to whom it is necessary that the 25 materials be disclosed for purposes of this litigation. 26 27 Mitchell Silberberg & Knupp LLP 28 5030378.1/44939-00001 7 [PROPOSED] PROTECTIVE ORDER 1 4.4.2 Bona fide experts and/or consultants (together with their 2 clerical staff) retained by counsel of record on behalf of the parties for purposes of 3 this litigation. 4.4.3 4 Pursuant to Paragraphs 3.1 through 3.4, supra, deponents 5 at their depositions.

CHALLENGING A DESIGNATION 16 5.1 A party which disputes the propriety of a designation shall challenge 17 such designation within a reasonable time after the materials are so designated. In 18 the event that a party challenges such designation, the party shall provide written 19 notice to the designating party of its disagreement with the designation. The 20 parties shall first attempt to resolve the dispute in good faith and shall employ the 21 procedures of Local Rules 37-1 through 37-4 to resolve that dispute. If the dispute 22 cannot be resolved, the receiving party may apply to the Court for a ruling 23 concerning the status of such material, and, pending such application and ruling, 24 the receiving party shall treat such material as Confidential Information under this 25 PROTECTIVE ORDER. Upon any hearing, the burden of proving that material 26 has been properly designated is on the party making such designation. 27 Mitchell Silberberg & Knupp LLP 28 5030378.1/44939-00001 8 [PROPOSED] PROTECTIVE ORDER 1 5.2 For documents that any party might wish to file with the Court under 2 seal, that party shall employ the procedures of Local Rule 79-5.1 and comply with 3 the requirements of Section 9, infra. 5.3 4 No party shall be obliged to challenge the propriety of a designation, 5 and a failure to do so shall not preclude a subsequent attack on the propriety of any 6 other designation. 7 8 6. INADVERTENT FAILURE TO DESIGNATE 9 6.1 The inadvertent failure to designate Confidential Information as 10 CONFIDENTIAL or HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY 11 prior to or at the time of disclosure shall not operate as a waiver of a party’s or 12 third party’s right to designate such information within thirty (30) days after such 13 disclosure or, if the information is provided by a third party, within thirty (30) days 14 after notice of such disclosure. 15 6.2 In the event that Confidential Information is designated as 16 CONFIDENTIAL or HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY 17 after disclosure but within the thirty (30) day period allowed under Paragraph 6.1, 18 supra, the receiving party shall employ reasonable efforts to ensure that all 19 previously disclosed Confidential Information is subsequently treated as 20 CONFIDENTIAL or HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY, 21 as appropriate, pursuant to the terms of this PROTECTIVE ORDER. 22 6.3 Should any document or information designated as CONFIDENTIAL 23 24 through inadvertence or otherwise, to any person or party not authorized to see 25 such materials under this PROTECTIVE ORDER, then the disclosing party or 26 third party shall use its best efforts to bind such person to the terms of this 27 Mitchell Silberberg & Knupp LLP or HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY be disclosed, PROTECTIVE ORDER, and the disclosing party shall: (a) promptly inform such 28 5030378.1/44939-00001 9 [PROPOSED] PROTECTIVE ORDER 1 person of all the provisions of this PROTECTIVE ORDER, and (b) identify the 2 name, address, telephone number, employer, and title or position of such person 3 immediately to the party or third party that or who designated the document. 4 5 7. 6 CUSTODY AND DISPOSITION OF DESIGNATED CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION 7 7.1 Confidential Information designated CONFIDENTIAL or HIGHLY 8 CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY shall be maintained in the 9 custody of counsel for the parties, except for information in the custody of: (a) the 10 Court; (b) any court reporter transcribing testimony given in this action, for the 11 limited purpose of rendering his or her normal transcribing services; and (c) 12 consultants entitled to see such information under the terms of this PROTECTIVE 13 ORDER, to the extent necessary for their study, analysis, and preparation of the 14 case. Except for the Court, a person with custody of information designated 15 CONFIDENTIAL or HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY 16 shall maintain it in a manner that limits access to it to only those persons entitled 17 under this PROTECTIVE ORDER to examine it. Counsel may furnish 18 information designated CONFIDENTIAL or HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – 19 ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY in written format to persons authorized under this 20 PROTECTIVE ORDER to receive it. 21 7.2 Unless counsel agree otherwise in writing, within sixty (60) days of 22 23 decision of the Court, the parties, counsel for the parties, and all other persons who 24 are in possession of documents designated CONFIDENTIAL or HIGHLY 25 CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY agree that they will (a) destroy 26 or return to the producing party or third party all hard copy documents, other than 27 Mitchell Silberberg & Knupp LLP the conclusion of this litigation, whether by settlement or final, non-appealable attorney work product, containing designated Confidential Information produced 28 5030378.1/44939-00001 10 [PROPOSED] PROTECTIVE ORDER 1 by a party or third party; and (b) delete all electronically stored documents, other 2 than attorney work product, containing designated Confidential Information 3 produced by a party or third party.

Nothing in this 11 paragraph shall be construed to require any party to return or destroy work product 12 or attorney client privileged communications, whether from or to outside or in- 13 house counsel. Such file copies must be maintained under the conditions of 14 maintaining confidentiality as set forth in Paragraph 7.1, supra. 15 16 8.

These obligations of confidentiality 24 and nondisclosure shall bind the parties through all proceedings in this action, 25 including all appeals, arbitrations, and proceedings upon remand, and shall survive 26 the conclusion of this action unless and until otherwise ordered by the Court, or 27 Mitchell Silberberg & Knupp LLP 28 5030378.1/44939-00001 11 [PROPOSED] PROTECTIVE ORDER 1 until the parties to this action stipulate that designated Confidential Information 2 can be disclosed. 3 8.2 By entering into this PROTECTIVE ORDER, no party or third party 4 waives any objections it might have to the production of documents or information 5 covered by this PROTECTIVE ORDER. 8.3 6 No party to this action, by entering into this PROTECTIVE ORDER, 7 by designating certain information as CONFIDENTIAL or HIGHLY 8 CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY, or by acquiescing in any other 9 party’s such designation, shall be deemed to have admitted or agreed that any such 10 designated information is, in fact, a trade secret or other confidential research, 11 development, or commercial information. 8.4 12 The Court retains jurisdiction even after termination of this action to 13 enforce this PROTECTIVE ORDER and to make such deletions from or 14 amendments, modifications, and additions to the PROTECTIVE ORDER that the 15 Court may from time to time deem appropriate. The parties hereto reserve all 16 rights to apply to the Court at any time, before or after termination of this action, 17 for an order modifying this PROTECTIVE ORDER or seeking further protection 18 against disclosure or use of claimed Confidential Information. 8.5 19 Nothing contained herein shall restrict any party from introducing 20 designated Confidential Information as evidence at trial. A party may seek a 21 protective order prior to trial with respect to testimony containing designated 22 Confidential Information that may be offered at trial or specific documents 23 containing designated Confidential Information that may be marked as exhibits at 24 trial in order to maintain the continued confidentiality of such information. 8.6 25 In general, court orders are available to the public. To the extent that 26 27 Mitchell Silberberg & Knupp LLP a party refers to or relies upon material that is filed under seal in its pleadings, the pleadings must request that specific information be kept confidential. Absent the 28 5030378.1/44939-00001 12 [PROPOSED] PROTECTIVE ORDER 1 granting of such advance request, the Court may incorporate all evidence in its 2 written and oral rulings. 8.7 3 In the event the case proceeds to trial, all information that was subject 4 to the provisions of a protective order and that is used at trial will become public 5 absent a separate court order upon motion and sufficient cause shown. 6 7 9. FILING OR LODGING UNDER SEAL 8 9.1 If any party or third party seeks to file or lodge with the Court any 9 documents or things that contain designated CONFIDENTIAL or HIGHLY 10 CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY, such materials shall be 11 submitted to the Court in accordance with the procedures set forth in C.D. Cal. 12 Local Rule 79-5.1 for filing documents under seal.

If such agreement is provided, the parties shall submit to the 16 Court a stipulation and proposed order for such filing or lodging under seal. If no 17 such agreement is provided, then the filing or lodging party or third party shall 18 submit an application and proposed order to the Court pursuant to C.D. Cal.
