DISCOVERY MATTER 13 CHELSEA INTERNATIONAL, INC., 14 et al., 15 District Judge: Hon. John F. Walter Magistrate: Hon. Karen L. Stevenson Defendants. 16 17 18 Pursuant to Rule 26(c) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and based 19 on the parties’ Proposed Stipulated Protective Order (“Stipulation”) filed on 20 March 16, 2017, the terms of the protective order to which the parties have 21 agreed are adopted as a protective order of this Court (which generally shall 22 govern the pretrial phase of this action) except to the extent, as set forth below, 23 that those terms have been modified by the Court’s amendment of paragraphs 24 G.2.a, G.2.f, and I.1 of the Stipulation. 25 26 27 28 1 [PROPOSED] STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER CASE NO. 2:16-cv-08030-JFW (KSx) 1 AGREED TERMS OF THE PROTECTIVE ORDER AS ADOPTED AND MODIFIED BY THE COURT1 2 3 4 Plaintiff Patagonia, Inc. (“Patagonia”) and Defendants Chelsea International 5 Inc. (“Chelsea”), CAC International Group (“CAC”), and OTB Brand Worldwide Ltd. 6 (“OTB”) (together, “Defendants”), stipulate and agree between and among 7 themselves, by and through their attorneys, to the entry of this Protective Order to 8 govern the use, dissemination, and disclosure of certain documents and materials 9 described below and obtained by the parties through discovery or otherwise in this 10 action. The parties agree as follows: 11 Discovery in this action is likely to involve production of confidential, 12 proprietary, or private information for which special protection from public disclosure 13 and from use for any purpose other than prosecuting this litigation may be warranted. 14 The parties acknowledge that this Order does not confer blanket protections on all 15 disclosures or responses to discovery and that the protection it affords from public 16 disclosure and use extends only to the limited information or items that are entitled to 17 confidential treatment under the applicable legal principles. The parties further 18 acknowledge, as set forth in Paragraph I, below, that this Stipulated Protective Order 19 does not entitle them to file confidential information under seal; Civil Local Rule 79-5 20 sets forth the procedures that must be followed and the standards that will be applied 21 when a party seeks permission from the court to file material under seal. 22 A. Good Cause Statement 23 This action is likely to involve trade secrets, customer and pricing lists and 24 other valuable research, development, commercial, financial, and/or proprietary 25 information for which special protection from public disclosure and from use for any 26 27 28 1 The Court’s additions to the agreed terms of the Protective Order are generally indicated in bold typeface, and the Court’s deletions are indicated by lines through the text being deleted. 2 [PROPOSED] STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER CASE NO. 2:16-cv-08030-JFW (KSx) 1 purpose other than prosecution of this action is warranted. Such confidential and 2 proprietary materials and information consist of, among other things, confidential 3 business or financial information, information regarding confidential business 4 practices, or other confidential research, development, or commercial information, 5 information otherwise generally unavailable to the public, or which may be privileged 6 or otherwise protected from disclosure under state or federal statutes, court rules, case 7 decisions, or common law. Accordingly, to expedite the flow of information, to 8 facilitate the prompt resolution of disputes over confidentiality of discovery materials, 9 to adequately protect information the parties are entitled to keep confidential, to 10 ensure that the parties are permitted reasonable necessary uses of such material in 11 preparation for and in the conduct of trial, to address their handling at the end of the 12 litigation, and serve the ends of justice, a protective order for such information is 13 justified in this matter. It is the intent of the parties that information will not be 14 designated as confidential for tactical reasons and that nothing be so designated 15 without a good faith belief that it has been maintained in a confidential, non-public 16 manner, and there is good cause why it should not be part of the public record of this 17 case. 18 B. Scope of Order 19 This Protective Order shall apply to all information, premises, documents, and 20 things owned or controlled by the parties or of any parents, subsidiaries, divisions, 21 branches, affiliates, related companies, agents, or licensees of any party, or of any 22 other parties added or substituted in this case, that are subject to discovery in this 23 action, including without limitation, testimony adduced at depositions upon oral 24 examination or upon written questions, answers to interrogatories, documents and 25 things produced or otherwise provided, information obtained from inspection of 26 premises or things, and answers to requests for admission (hereafter “Information and 27 Materials”). Any use of Confidential or Highly Confidential—Attorneys’ Eyes Only 28 Information and Materials at trial shall be governed by the orders of the trial judge. 3 [PROPOSED] STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER CASE NO. 2:16-cv-08030-JFW (KSx) 1 This Order does not govern the use of Confidential or Highly Confidential— 2 Attorneys’ Eyes Only Information and Materials at trial. 3 C. Definitions 4 1. As used in this Order, “Confidential” Information and Materials shall 5 include all Information and Materials that have not been made public, the disclosure 6 of which the disclosing party contends could cause harm to its business operations or 7 provide improper advantage to others. “Confidential” Information and Materials shall 8 include, but shall not be limited to information that concerns or relates to (1) sales, 9 marketing, manufacturing, or research and development; (2) financial performance; 10 (3) manufacturing or other costs of doing business; (4) licenses or other confidential 11 agreements; and/or (5) technical product details or methods of doing business. 2. 12 As used in this Order, “Highly Confidential—Attorneys’ Eyes Only” 13 Information and Materials shall include trade secrets within the meaning of the 14 Uniform Trade Secrets Act and all Information and Materials that the disclosing party 15 has reasonable grounds to believe would, if known to any officer, director, employee, 16 or agent of a receiving party, another third party, or to the public, lead to a significant 17 harm or injury to the reputation and/or business of the disclosing party or provide 18 improper advantage to others. 19 D. Marking Requirements 20 1. All Information and Materials deemed Confidential or Highly 21 Confidential—Attorneys’ Eyes Only will be so identified and labeled by the producing 22 party. 23 2. If qualified Information and Materials cannot be labeled, they shall be 24 designated as Confidential or Highly Confidential—Attorneys’ Eyes Only in a manner 25 to be agreed upon by the parties. 26 3. In lieu of marking the original of a document or thing, if the original is 27 not produced, the designating party may mark the copies that are produced or 28 exchanged, but the other party, by its counsel, shall have the right to examine the 4 [PROPOSED] STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER CASE NO. 2:16-cv-08030-JFW (KSx) 1 original, to be provided with a full and complete copy, and to call for production of 2 the original at the trial in this action. However, nothing in this Stipulated Protective 3 Order requires the production of privileged or work-product Information and 4 Materials, or any Information and Materials that are otherwise not subject to 5 discovery. If a producing party inadvertently discloses to a receiving party 6 information that is privileged, said producing party shall promptly upon discovery of 7 such disclosure so advise the receiving party in writing and request that the item(s) of 8 information be returned, and no party to this action shall thereafter assert that such 9 disclosure waived any privilege. It is further agreed that the receiving party will 10 return such inadvertently produced item(s) of information and all copies thereof 11 within three (3) business days of receiving a written request for the return of such 12 item(s) of information. 13 4. The identification and labeling specified in Paragraphs D.1, D.2, and D.3 14 of this Order shall be made at the time when the answer to the interrogatory or the 15 answer to the request for admission is served, and when a copy of the document or 16 thing is provided to each party. In the case of hearing and deposition transcript pages, 17 the designating party shall advise opposing counsel of the specific pages to be 18 maintained in confidence within forty-five (45) days after the receipt of the transcript 19 or as otherwise agreed by counsel. During this period, the entire transcript shall be 20 deemed to be Highly Confidential—Attorneys’ Eyes Only. 21 5. In the event that a disclosing party discovers a failure to mark qualified 22 Information or Materials as Confidential or Highly Confidential—Attorneys’ Eyes 23 Only, the other party shall be notified immediately and the following corrective action 24 shall be taken: 25 a. The receiving party shall notify all persons who have received the 26 Information and Materials that the Information and Materials are designated 27 Confidential or Highly Confidential—Attorneys’ Eyes Only and must be treated as 28 designated in this Order; 5 [PROPOSED] STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER CASE NO. 2:16-cv-08030-JFW (KSx) b. 1 The receiving party shall take all reasonable steps to place the 2 applicable Confidential or Highly Confidential—Attorneys’ Eyes Only label on the 3 designated Information and Materials; and c. 4 5 The receiving party shall treat the newly marked Information and Materials as set out in Paragraphs G and I of this Order. 6 E. Designating Information and Documents 7 1. In designating Information and Materials as Confidential or Highly 8 Confidential—Attorneys’ Eyes Only, a party will make such designation only as to that 9 information that it in good faith believes to be Confidential or Highly Confidential— 10 11 Attorneys’ Eyes Only as defined in Paragraph C of this Order. 2. If counsel for a party believes that questions put to a witness being 12 examined during a deposition will disclose Confidential or Highly Confidential— 13 Attorneys’ Eyes Only Information and Materials of his or her client, or that the answer 14 to any question or questions requires such disclosure, or if documents to be used as 15 exhibits during the examination contain such information, counsel shall so notify 16 opposing counsel and the deposition of such witness, or portions thereof, shall be 17 taken only in the presence of appropriate persons as defined in Paragraph G, counsel 18 for the witness, if any, the stenographic reporter, and the officers or employees of the 19 party whose Confidential or Highly Confidential—Attorneys’ Eyes Only information is 20 being disclosed. 21 F. 22 Redacted versions of Confidential or Highly Confidential—Attorneys’ Eyes Redaction 23 Only materials that no longer contain Confidential or Highly Confidential—Attorneys’ 24 Eyes Only information, and that are not subject to this Order, may be used for any 25 proper purpose for this case. 26 27 28 6 [PROPOSED] STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER CASE NO. 2:16-cv-08030-JFW (KSx) 1 G. 2 3 4 5 Access to Confidential or Highly Confidential—Attorneys’ Eyes Only Information and Materials 1. It is the general intent of the parties to limit disclosure to the smallest number of persons, consistent with the needs of litigation. 2. All access, possession, use, testing, inspection, study, or copying of any 6 Information or Materials designated as Confidential under this Order is governed by 7 this Order and is limited to the following persons: 8 a. 9 law clerks of Counsel of Record The law firms Finnegan, Henderson, Counsel of Record in this Action, as well as the employees and 10 Farabow, Garrett & Dunner, LLP and Law Offices of Fei Pang, including 11 attorneys, law clerks, stenographic, clerical, and paralegal employees 12 whose functions require access to such Confidential Information and 13 Materials. 14 b. 15 their clerical personnel, who are not employees of the parties (or their 16 parents, subsidiaries, divisions, branches, affiliates, or agents), and whose 17 advice and consultation will be used by such party in connection with 18 preparation of this case for trial.

Challenging Designation of Information and Materials 2 1. Timing of Challenges. Unless a prompt challenge to a designating 3 party’s confidentiality designation is necessary to avoid foreseeable substantial 4 unfairness, unnecessary economic burdens, or a later significant disruption or delay of 5 the litigation, a party does not waive its right to challenge a confidentiality designation 6 by electing not to mount a challenge promptly after the original designation is 7 disclosed. A party may challenge a designation of confidentiality at any time that is 8 consistent with the Court’s scheduling order. 9 2. Meet and Confer. A party that elects to initiate a challenge to a 10 designating party’s confidentiality designation must do so in good faith and must 11 begin the dispute resolution process under Local Rule 37-1 et seq. In conferring, the 12 challenging party must explain the basis for its belief that the confidentiality 13 designation was not proper and must give the designating party an opportunity to 14 review the designated material, to reconsider the circumstances, and, if no change in 15 designation is offered, to explain the basis for the chosen designation. A challenging 16 party may proceed to the next stage of the challenge process only if it has engaged in 17 this meet and confer process first. 18 3. Judicial Intervention. A party that elects to press a challenge to a 19 confidentiality designation after considering the justification offered by the parties 20 may file and serve a joint stipulation under Civil Local Rule 37-2 and 37-3 (and in 21 compliance with Civil Local Rule 79-5, if applicable) that identifies the challenged 22 material and sets forth in detail the basis for the challenge. Each such motion must be 23 accompanied by a competent declaration that affirms that the movant has complied 24 with the meet and confer requirements imposed in the preceding paragraph and that 25 sets forth with specificity the justification for the confidentiality designation that was 26 given by the designating party in the meet and confer dialogue. 27 The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on the 28 9 [PROPOSED] STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER CASE NO. 2:16-cv-08030-JFW (KSx) 1 designating party. Until the court rules on the challenge, all parties shall continue to 2 afford the material in question the level of protection to which it is entitled under the 3 designating party’s designation. 4 I. 5 6 Handling Confidential or Highly Confidential—Attorneys’ Eyes Only Information and Materials 1. Copies of Confidential or Highly Confidential—Attorneys’ Eyes Only 7 Information and Materials shall not be made public by the party to whom they are 8 disclosed unless they become a part of the public record in this action by agreement of 9 the parties or by order or action of the Court. If any party seeks to file or lodge with 10 the Court any portion of any Confidential or Highly Confidential—Attorneys’ 11 Eyes Only Information or Materials, such material shall be submitted to the 12 Court with: (1) an application to file under seal in accordance with this Court’s 13 Local Rule 79-5; and (2) a request to present the portion of the Confidential or 14 Highly Confidential—Attorneys’ Eyes Only Information or Materials at issue for 15 review in camera pursuant to Local Rule 79-6. 16 Confidential—Attorneys’ Eyes Only Information and Materials may be included in 17 whole or in part in pleadings, motions, or briefs only if such Information and 18 Materials are filed with the Court under seal and in accordance with Local Rule 79-5. 19 The parties stipulate that Information and Materials identified and labeled in 20 accordance with this paragraph shall be received in camera as directed by the Court. 21 2.

Any such copies that contain or constitute Protected Material remain 26 subject to this Protective Order. Subject to this exception, outside counsel shall 27 certify to counsel for the producing party the destruction of all additional copies of 28 Information and Materials so designated in their possession, custody or control. 10 [PROPOSED] STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER CASE NO. 2:16-cv-08030-JFW (KSx) 1 J. 2 3 Protected Material Subpoenaed or Ordered Produced in Other Litigation 1. If a receiving party is served with a subpoena or an order issued in other 4 litigation that would compel disclosure of any information or items designated in this 5 action as Confidential or Highly Confidential – Attorneys’ Eyes Only, the receiving 6 party must so notify the designating party, in writing immediately and in no event 7 more than three court days after receiving the subpoena or order. Such notification 8 must include a copy of the subpoena or court order. 9 The receiving party also must immediately inform in writing the party who 10 caused the subpoena or order to issue in the other litigation that some or all of the 11 material covered by the subpoena or order is the subject of this Protective Order. In 12 addition, the receiving party must deliver a copy of this Stipulated Protective Order 13 promptly to the party in the other action that caused the subpoena or order to issue. 14 The purpose of imposing these duties is to alert the interested parties to the 15 existence of this Protective Order and to afford the designating party in this case an 16 opportunity to try to protect its confidentiality interests in the court from which the 17 subpoena or order issued. The designating party shall bear the burdens and the 18 expenses of seeking protection in that court of its confidential material – and nothing 19 in these provisions should be construed as authorizing or encouraging a receiving 20 party in this action to disobey a lawful directive from another court. 21 K.

This Order shall survive the final termination of this or related 14 proceedings to the extent that the Confidential or Highly Confidential—Attorneys’ 15 Eyes Only Information and Materials have not or do not become known to the public. 16 3. No copy of any transcript of any deposition taken by any party that is 17 designated in part or in whole as Confidential or Highly Confidential—Attorneys’ 18 Eyes Only shall be furnished by the reporter to any person other than to counsel for the 19 parties.

Upon such a designation, the 24 designated portions of the transcript to be filed with the Court or used during the trial 25 shall be filed under seal in accordance with Paragraph I of this Order, unless otherwise 26 agreed by the parties or ordered by the Court. 27 28 12 [PROPOSED] STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER CASE NO. 2:16-cv-08030-JFW (KSx) 4. 1 Each person having access to Confidential or Highly Confidential— 2 Attorneys’ Eyes Only Information and Materials under this Order shall take all 3 reasonable steps to comply with this Order. 5. 4 Nothing in this Order shall bar or otherwise restrict any attorney from 5 rendering advice to his or her client with respect to this proceeding and, in the course 6 of the proceeding, referring to or relying upon his or her examination of Confidential 7 or Highly Confidential—Attorneys’ Eyes Only Information and Materials; provided, 8 that in rendering such advice and in otherwise communicating with clients, the 9 attorney shall not make specific disclosure to any person of any Confidential or 10 Highly Confidential—Attorneys’ Eyes Only Information and Materials. 6. 11 Any person bound by this Order may rely on a waiver or consent that is 12 made by an attorney for a party as if that waiver or consent was made by that party or 13 person, provided that such waiver or consent shall be either in writing or on record in 14 a hearing, trial, or deposition transcript. 7. 15 A person or an entity that is not a party to this litigation may take 16 advantage of the protection of Confidential or Highly Confidential—Attorneys’ Eyes 17 Only Information and Materials provided by this Order, and such person or entity shall 18 be entitled to all rights and protections afforded the disclosing party under this Order. 19 \\ 20 \\ 21 \\ 22 \\ 23 \\ 24 \\ 25 \\ 26 \\ 27 \\ 28 \\ 13 [PROPOSED] STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER CASE NO. 2:16-cv-08030-JFW (KSx) 1 8.
