STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

1.

A. PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS
Discovery in this action is likely to involve production of confidential,

3

proprietary, or private information for which special protection from public

4

disclosure and from use for any purpose other than prosecuting this litigation may

5

be warranted. Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to and petition the Court to

6

enter the following Stipulated Protective Order. The parties acknowledge that this

7

Order does not confer blanket protections on all disclosures or responses to

8

discovery and that the protection it affords from public disclosure and use extends

9

only to the limited information or items that are entitled to confidential treatment

10

under the applicable legal principles. The parties further acknowledge, as set forth

11

in Section 12.3, below, that this Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle them

12

to file confidential information under seal; Civil Local Rule 79-5 sets forth the

13

procedures that must be followed and the standards that will be applied when a

14

party seeks permission from the court to file material under seal.

15
16

B. GOOD CAUSE STATEMENT

17

This action is likely to involve trade secrets, customer and pricing lists and

18

other valuable research, development, commercial, financial and/or technical

19

information for which special protection from public disclosure and from use for

20

any purpose other than prosecution of this action is warranted. Such confidential

21

materials and information consist of, among other things, confidential business or

22

financial information, information regarding purchase and sale prices of fabric or

23

garments by suppliers, manufacturers, importers, distributors or fashion retailers,

24

information regarding business practices, information regarding the creation,

25

purchase or sale of graphics used on textiles and garments, or other confidential

26

commercial information (including information implicating privacy rights of third

27

parties), information generally unavailable to the public, or which may be

28

privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure under state of federal rules, court
2
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

1

rules, case decisions, or common law. Accordingly, to expedite the flow of

2

information, to facilitate the prompt resolution of disputes over confidentiality of

3

discovery materials, to adequately protect information the parties are entitled to

4

keep confidential, to ensure that the parties are permitted reasonable necessary uses

5

of such material in preparation for and in the conduct of trial, to address their

6

handling at the end of the litigation, and serve the ends of justice, a protective order

7

for such information is justified in this matter. It is the intent of the parties that

8

information will not be designated as confidential for tactical reasons and that

9

nothing be so designated without a good faith belief that it has been maintained in a

10

confidential, non-public manner, and there is good cause why it should not be part

11

of the public record of this case.

12
13
14
15

C. ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF PROCEDURE FOR FILING UNDER
SEAL
The parties further acknowledge, as set forth in Section 12.3, below, that

16

this Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle them to file confidential

17

information under seal; Local Civil Rule 79-5 sets forth the procedures that must

18

be followed and the standards that will be applied when a party seeks permission

19

from the court to file material under seal.

20

There is a strong presumption that the public has a right of access to judicial

21

proceedings and records in civil cases. In connection with non-dispositive

22

motions, good cause must be shown to support a filing under seal. See Kamakana

23

v. City and County of Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172, 1176 (9th Cir. 2006), Phillips v.

24

Gen. Motors Corp., 307 F.3d 1206, 1210-11 (9th Cir. 2002), Makar-Welbon v.

25

Sony Electrics, Inc., 187 F.R.D. 576, 577 (E.D. Wis. 1999) (even stipulated

26

protective orders require good cause showing), and a specific showing of good

27

cause or compelling reasons with proper evidentiary support and legal justification,

28

must be made with respect to Protected Material that a party seeks to file under
3
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

1

seal. The parties’ mere designation of Disclosure or Discovery Material as

2

CONFIDENTIAL does not—without the submission of competent evidence by

3

declaration, establishing that the material sought to be filed under seal qualifies as

4

confidential, privileged, or otherwise protectable—constitute good cause.

5

Further, if a party requests sealing related to a dispositive motion or trial,

6

then compelling reasons, not only good cause, for the sealing must be shown, and

7

the relief sought shall be narrowly tailored to serve the specific interest to be

8

protected. See Pintos v. Pacific Creditors Ass’n, 605 F.3d 665, 677-79 (9th Cir.

9

2010). For each item or type of information, document, or thing sought to be filed

10

or introduced under seal in connection with a dispositive motion or trial, the party

11

seeking protection must articulate compelling reasons, supported by specific facts

12

and legal justification, for the requested sealing order. Again, competent evidence

13

supporting the application to file documents under seal must be provided by

14
15

declaration.
Any document that is not confidential, privileged, or otherwise protectable

16

in its entirety will not be filed under seal if the confidential portions can be

17

redacted. If documents can be redacted, then a redacted version for public

18

viewing, omitting only the confidential, privileged, or otherwise protectable

19

portions of the document, shall be filed. Any application that seeks to file

20

documents under seal in their entirety should include an explanation of why

21

redaction is not feasible.

22
23

SCOPE

11

The protections conferred by this Stipulation and Order cover not only

12

Protected Material (as defined above), but also (1) any information copied or

13

extracted from Protected Material; (2) all copies, excerpts, summaries, or

14

compilations of Protected Material; and (3) any testimony, conversations, or

15

presentations by Parties or their Counsel that might reveal Protected Material.
Any use of Protected Material at trial shall be governed by the orders of the

16
17

trial judge. This Order does not govern the use of Protected Material at trial.

18
19

4.

DURATION

20

The Parties agree that they are contractually bound, pursuant to

21

stipulation, to the confidentiality obligations set forth herein even after final

22

disposition of this action. Final disposition shall be deemed to be the later of (1)

23

dismissal of all claims and defenses in this Action, with or without prejudice; and

24

25

rehearings, remands, trials, or reviews of this Action, including the time limits for

However, once a case proceeds to trial, information that was designated

28

as CONFIDENTIAL or maintained pursuant to this protective order used or
6
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

1

introduced as an exhibit at trial becomes public and will be presumptively

2

available to all members of the public, including the press, unless compelling

3

reasons supported by specific factual findings to proceed otherwise are made

4

to the trial judge in advance of the trial. See Kamakana, 447 F.3d at 1180-81

5

(distinguishing “good cause” showing for sealing documents produced in

6

discovery from “compelling reasons” standard when merits-related

7

documents are part of court record). Accordingly, the terms of this protective

8

order do not extend beyond the commencement of the trial.

DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL
5.1 Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection.

Each Party or Non-Party that designates information or items for protection under
this Order must take care to limit any such designation to specific material that
qualifies under the appropriate standards. The Designating Party must designate for
protection only those parts of material, documents, items, or oral or written
communications that qualify so that other portions of the material, documents,
items, or communications for which protection is not warranted are not swept
unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order.
Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations
that are shown to be clearly unjustified or that have been made for an improper
purpose (e.g., to unnecessarily encumber the case development process or to
impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the
Designating Party to sanctions.
If it comes to a Designating Party’s attention that information or items that it
designated for protection do not qualify for protection, that Designating Party must
promptly notify all other Parties that it is withdrawing the inapplicable designation.

27
28
7
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

1

5.2 Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in

2

this Order (see, e.g., second paragraph of section 5.2(a) below), or as otherwise

3

stipulated or ordered, Disclosure or Discovery Material that qualifies for protection

4

under this Order must be clearly so designated before the material is disclosed or

5

produced.

6
7

Designation in conformity with this Order requires:
(a) for information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic

8

documents, but excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial

9

proceedings), that the Producing Party affix at a minimum, the legend

10

“CONFIDENTIAL” (hereinafter “CONFIDENTIAL legend”), to each page that

11

contains protected material. If only a portion or portions of the material on a page

12

qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the

13

protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins).

14

A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents available for inspection

15

need not designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has indicated

16

which documents it would like copied and produced. During the inspection and

17

before the designation, all of the material made available for inspection shall be

18

deemed “CONFIDENTIAL.” After the inspecting Party has identified the

19

documents it wants copied and produced, the Producing Party must determine

20

which documents, or portions thereof, qualify for protection under this Order.

21

Then, before producing the specified documents, the Producing Party must affix

22

the “CONFIDENTIAL legend” to each page that contains Protected Material. If

23

only a portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the

24

Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making

25

appropriate markings in the margins).

26

(b) for testimony given in depositions that the Designating Party identify

27

the Disclosure or Discovery Material on the record, before the close of the

28

deposition all protected testimony.
8
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

1

(c) for information produced in some form other than documentary and

2

for any other tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on

3

the exterior of the container or containers in which the information is stored the

4

legend “CONFIDENTIAL.” If only a portion or portions of the information

5

warrants protection, the Producing Party, to the extent practicable, shall identify

6

the protected portion(s).
5.3 Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent

7
8

failure to designate qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive

9

the Designating Party’s right to secure protection under this Order for such

10

material. Upon timely correction of a designation, the Receiving Party must make

11

reasonable efforts to assure that the material is treated in accordance with the

12

provisions of this Order.

13
14
15

6.

CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS
6.1 Timing of Challenges. Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a

16

designation of confidentiality at any time that is consistent with the Court’s

17

Scheduling Order.

18
19
20

6.2 Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute
resolution process under Local Rule 37.1 et seq.
6.3 The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on

21

the Designating Party. Frivolous challenges, and those made for an improper

22

purpose (e.g., to harass or impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other

23

parties) may expose the Challenging Party to sanctions. Unless the Designating

24

Party has waived or withdrawn the confidentiality designation, all parties shall

25

continue to afford the material in question the level of protection to which it is

26

entitled under the Producing Party’s designation until the Court rules on the

27

challenge.

28
9
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

1

7.

ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL

2

7.1 Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is

3

disclosed or produced by another Party or by a Non-Party in connection with this

4

Action only for prosecuting, defending, or attempting to settle this Action. Such

5

Protected Material may be disclosed only to the categories of persons and under

6

the conditions described in this Order. When the Action has been terminated, a

7

Receiving Party must comply with the provisions of section 13 below (FINAL

8

DISPOSITION).

9

Protected Material must be stored and maintained by a Receiving Party at a

10

location and in a secure manner that ensures that access is limited to the persons

11

authorized under this Order.

12

7.2 Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items. Unless

13

otherwise ordered by the court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party, a

14

Receiving Party may disclose any information or item designated

15

“CONFIDENTIAL” only to:

16

(a) the Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of Record in this Action, as

17

well as employees of said Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably

18

necessary to disclose the information for this Action;

19
20
21

(b) the officers, directors, and employees (including House Counsel) of
the Receiving Party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action;
(c) Experts (as defined in this Order) of the Receiving Party to whom

22

disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have signed the

23

“Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A);

24

(d) the court and its personnel;

25

(e) court reporters and their staff;

26

(f) professional jury or trial consultants, mock jurors, and Professional

27

Vendors to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have

28

signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A);
10
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

(g) the author or recipient of a document containing the information or a

1
2

custodian or other person who otherwise possessed or knew the information;
(h) during their depositions, witnesses ,and attorneys for witnesses, in the

3
4

Action to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary provided: (1) the deposing

5

party requests that the witness sign the form attached as Exhibit 1 hereto; and (2)

6

they will not be permitted to keep any confidential information unless they sign the

7

“Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A), unless otherwise

8

agreed by the Designating Party or ordered by the court. Pages of transcribed

9

deposition testimony or exhibits to depositions that reveal Protected Material may

10

be separately bound by the court reporter and may not be disclosed to anyone

11

except as permitted under this Stipulated Protective Order; and
(i) any mediator or settlement officer, and their supporting personnel,

12
13

mutually agreed upon by any of the parties engaged in settlement discussions.

14
15

8.

PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED

16

IN OTHER LITIGATION

17

If a Party is served with a subpoena or a court order issued in other litigation

18

that compels disclosure of any information or items designated in this Action as

19

“CONFIDENTIAL,” that Party must:

20
21
22

(a) promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification
shall include a copy of the subpoena or court order;
(b) promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or order

23

to issue in the other litigation that some or all of the material covered by the

24

subpoena or order is subject to this Protective Order. Such notification shall

25

include a copy of this Stipulated Protective Order; and

26

(c) cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be

27

pursued by the Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected.

28

If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served with
11
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

1

the subpoena or court order shall not produce any information designated in this

2

action as “CONFIDENTIAL” before a determination by the court from which the

3

subpoena or order issued, unless the Party has obtained the Designating Party’s

4

permission. The Designating Party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking

5

protection in that court of its confidential material and nothing in these provisions

6

should be construed as authorizing or encouraging a Receiving Party in this Action

7

to disobey a lawful directive from another court.

8
9

9.

A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE

10

PRODUCED IN THIS LITIGATION

11

(a) The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by a

12

Non-Party in this Action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL.” Such information

13

produced by Non-Parties in connection with this litigation is protected by the

14

remedies and relief provided by this Order. Nothing in these provisions should be

15

construed as prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking additional protections.

16

(b) In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, to

17

produce a Non-Party’s confidential information in its possession, and the Party is

18

subject to an agreement with the Non-Party not to produce the Non-Party’s

19

confidential information, then the Party shall:

20

(1) promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non-Party

21

that some or all of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality

22

agreement with a Non-Party;

23

(2) promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the Stipulated

24

Protective Order in this Action, the relevant discovery request(s), and a reasonably

25

specific description of the information requested; and

26
27
28

(3) make the information requested available for inspection by the
Non-Party, if requested.
(c) If the Non-Party fails to seek a protective order from this court within
12
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

1

14 days of receiving the notice and accompanying information, the Receiving

2

Party may produce the Non-Party’s confidential information responsive to the

3

discovery request. If the Non-Party timely seeks a protective order, the Receiving

4

Party shall not produce any information in its possession or control that is subject

5

to the confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party before a determination by the

6

court. Absent a court order to the contrary, the Non-Party shall bear the burden and

7

expense of seeking protection in this court of its Protected Material.

8
9

10.

UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL

10

If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has

11

disclosed Protected Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized

12

under this Stipulated Protective Order, the Receiving Party must immediately (a)

13

notify in writing the Designating Party of the unauthorized disclosures, (b) use its

14

best efforts to retrieve all unauthorized copies of the Protected Material, (c) inform

15

the person or persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the terms

16

of this Order, and (d) request such person or persons to execute the

17

“Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit

18

A.

19
20

11.

INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE

21

PROTECTED MATERIAL

22

When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain

23

inadvertently produced material is subject to a claim of privilege or other

24

protection, the obligations of the Receiving Parties are those set forth in Federal

25

Rule of Civil Procedure 26(b)(5)(B). This provision is not intended to modify

26

whatever procedure may be established in an e-discovery order that provides for

27

production without prior privilege review. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence

28

502(d) and (e), insofar as the parties reach an agreement on the effect of disclosure
13
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

1

of a communication or information covered by the attorney-client privilege or

2

work product protection, the parties may incorporate their agreement in the

3

stipulated protective order submitted to the court.

4

12.

12.1 Right to Further Relief. Nothing in this Order abridges the right of any

5
6

MISCELLANEOUS

person to seek its modification by the Court in the future.

7

12.2 Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of this

8

Protective Order no Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to

9

disclosing or producing any information or item on any ground not addressed in

10

this Stipulated Protective Order. Similarly, no Party waives any right to object on

11

any ground to use in evidence of any of the material covered by this Protective

12

Order.
12.3 Filing Protected Material. A Party that seeks to file under seal any

13
14

Protected Material must comply with Civil Local Rule 79-5. Protected Material

15

may only be filed under seal pursuant to a court order authorizing the sealing of the

16

specific Protected Material at issue. If a Party's request to file Protected Material

17

under seal is denied by the court, then the Receiving Party may file the information

18

in the public record unless otherwise instructed by the court.

19
20
21

13.

FINAL DISPOSITION
After the final disposition of this Action, within 60 days of a written request

22

by the Designating Party, each Receiving Party must return all Protected Material

23

to the Producing Party or destroy such material. As used in this subdivision, “all

24

Protected Material” includes all copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries, and

25

any other format reproducing or capturing any of the Protected Material. Whether

26

the Protected Material is returned or destroyed, the Receiving Party must submit a

27

written certification to the Producing Party (and, if not the same person or entity, to

28

the Designating Party) by the 60 day deadline that (1) identifies (by category,
14
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

1

where appropriate) all the Protected Material that was returned or destroyed and

2

(2)affirms that the Receiving Party has not retained any copies, abstracts,

3

compilations, summaries or any other format reproducing or capturing any of the

4

Protected Material. Notwithstanding this provision, Counsel are entitled to retain

5

an archival copy of all pleadings, motion papers, trial, deposition, and hearing

6

transcripts, legal memoranda, correspondence, deposition and trial exhibits, expert

7

reports, attorney work product, and consultant and expert work product, even if

8

such materials contain Protected Material. Any such archival copies that contain or

9

constitute Protected Material remain subject to this Protective Order as set forth in

10

Section 4 (DURATION).
