INTRODUCTION 2 1.1 3 Disclosure and discovery activity in this Action are likely to involve 4 production of confidential, proprietary, or private information for which special 5 protection from public disclosure and from use for any purpose other than 6 prosecuting this Action may be warranted. Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate 7 to and petition the court to enter the following Stipulated Protective Order. The 8 parties acknowledge that this Order does not confer blanket protections on all 9 disclosures or responses to discovery and that the protection it affords from public 10 disclosure and use extends only to the limited information or items that are entitled 11 to confidential treatment under the applicable legal principles. The parties further 12 acknowledge, as set forth in Section 13.3, below, that this Stipulated Protective 13 Order does not entitle them to file confidential information under seal; Civil Local 14 Rule 79-5 sets forth the procedures that must be followed and the standards that will 15 be applied when a party seeks permission from the court to file material under seal. PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS 16 1.2 17 Some of the material expected to be exchanged between the parties is 18 information that is not generally available to the public, and that is maintained in 19 confidence by the Producing Party. Special protection from public disclosure and 20 from use for any purpose other than prosecution of this Action is warranted. 21 Examples of confidential information that the parties may seek to protect from 22 unrestricted or unprotected disclosure include: 23 (a) 24 25 26 GOOD CAUSE STATEMENT Information that is the subject of a non-disclosure or confidentiality agreement or obligation; (b) The names, or other information tending to reveal the identity of a party’s supplier, designer, distributor, or customer; 27 28 1 STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER Case 2:17-cv-03221-RGK (MRWx) 1 (c) Agreements with third parties, including license agreements, distributor 2 agreements, 3 development agreements, supply agreements, sales agreements, or 4 service agreements; manufacturing agreements, design agreements, 5 (d) Research and development information; 6 (e) Proprietary engineering or technical information, including product 7 design, manufacturing techniques, processing information, drawings, 8 memoranda, source code, and reports; 9 (f) Information related to budgets, sales, profits, costs, margins, licensing 10 of technology or designs, product pricing, or other internal 11 financial/accounting information, including non-public information 12 related to financial condition or performance and income or other non- 13 public tax information; 14 (g) 15 Information related to internal operations including personnel information and confidential business practices; 16 (h) Information related to past, current and future product development; 17 (i) Information related to past, current and future market analyses and 18 business and marketing development, including plans, strategies, 19 forecasts and competition; 20 (j) 21 22 Trade secrets (as defined by the jurisdiction in which the information is located); and (k) Information that may be privileged or otherwise protected from 23 disclosure under state or federal statutes, court rules, case decisions, or 24 common law. 25 Unrestricted or unprotected disclosure of such confidential technical, 26 commercial or personal information would result in prejudice or harm to the 27 Producing Party by revealing the Producing Party’s competitive confidential 28 2 STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER Case 2:17-cv-03221-RGK (MRWx) 1 information, which has been developed at the expense of the Producing Party and 2 which represents valuable tangible and intangible assets of that party. Additionally, 3 privacy interests must be safeguarded. Accordingly, the parties respectfully submit 4 that there is good cause for the entry of this Protective Order. 5 It is the intent of the parties that information will not be designated as 6 confidential for tactical reasons and that nothing will be so designated without a 7 good faith belief that there is good cause why it should not be part of the public 8 record of this case. 9 The parties agree, subject to the Court’s approval, that the following terms 10 and conditions shall apply to this Action. 11 2. 12 DEFINITIONS 2.1 Action: CARL ZEISS AG and ASML NETHERLANDS B.V. v. 13 NIKON CORPORATION, SENDAI NIKON CORPORATION, and NIKON INC., 14 Case No. 2:17-cv-03221-RGK (MRWx). 15 16 2.2 Challenging Party: A Party or Non-Party that challenges the designation of information or items under this Order. 17 2.3 “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items: Protected Data, information 18 (regardless of how it is generated, stored or maintained), and/or tangible things that 19 qualify for protection under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(c), and as specified 20 above in the Good Cause Statement. For the purposes of the Protective Order, 21 Protected Data means any information that a party believes in good faith to be 22 subject to federal, state or foreign data protection laws or other privacy obligations. 23 Such 24 (Bundesdatenschutzgesetz) (BDSG), which regulates data protection in Germany 25 and the Dutch Personal Data Protection Act, which applies in the Netherlands. Other 26 examples of such data protection laws include, without limitation, the Gramm- 27 Leach-Bliley Act, 15 U.S.C. § 6801 et seq. (financial information); The Health data protection laws include the Federal Data Protection Act, 28 3 STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER Case 2:17-cv-03221-RGK (MRWx) 1 Insurance Portability and Accountability Act and the regulations thereunder, 45 CFR 2 Part 160 and Subparts A and E of Part 164 (medical information); Directive 3 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 October 1995 on the 4 Protection of Individuals with Regard to the Processing of Personal Data and on the 5 Free Movement of Such Data, 1995 O.J. (L281/31) (European Union personal 6 information); Data Protection Act 1998 (c. 29) (United Kingdom personal 7 information); the Belgian Law of December 8, 1992 on Privacy Protection in 8 relation to the Processing of Personal Data (Belgium personal information); and The 9 Personal Information Protection Act (Law No. 57 of 2003) (Japan personal 10 information). 11 Protected Data constitutes highly sensitive materials requiring special 12 protection, including, but not limited to, “information concerning the personal or 13 material circumstances of an identified or identifiable individual” as defined in 14 Section 3(1) of the Federal Data Protection Act. 15 2.4 “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” 16 Information or Items: Extremely sensitive “Confidential Information or Items,” 17 disclosure of which to another Party or Non-Party would create a substantial risk of 18 serious harm that could not be avoided by less restrictive means. 19 2.5 “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – SOURCE CODE” Information or 20 Items: Extremely sensitive discovery material that contains or substantively relates 21 to a party’s Source Code. For purposes of this Order, “Source Code” means source 22 code, computer code, object code (i.e., computer instructions and data definitions 23 expressed in a form suitable for input to an assembler, compiler, or other translator), 24 microcode, pseudocode, source code listings and descriptions of source code, object 25 code listings and descriptions of object code, register transfer language (“RTL”), 26 firmware, and hardware description language (“HDL”), as well as any and all 27 programmer notes, annotations, revision histories, and other comments of any type 28 4 STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER Case 2:17-cv-03221-RGK (MRWx) 1 related thereto and accompanying the code. For avoidance of doubt, this includes, 2 but is not limited to, source files, make files, intermediate output files, executable 3 files, header files, resource files, binaries, scripts, algorithms, library files, module 4 definition files, map files, object files, linker files, browse info files, and debug files. 5 6 7 2.6 Counsel (without qualifier): Outside Counsel of Record and House Counsel (as well as their support staff). 2.7 Designating Party: A Party or Non-Party that designates information or 8 items that it produces in disclosures or in responses to discovery as 9 “CONFIDENTIAL,” “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES 10 11 ONLY,” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – SOURCE CODE.” 2.8 Disclosure or Discovery Material: All items or information, regardless 12 of the medium or manner in which it is generated, stored, or maintained (including, 13 among other things, testimony, transcripts, and tangible things), that are produced or 14 generated in disclosures or responses to discovery in this matter. 15 2.9 Expert: A person with specialized knowledge or experience in a matter 16 pertinent to this Action who (1) has been retained by a Party or its counsel to serve 17 as an expert witness or as a consultant in this Action, (2) is not a past or current 18 employee of a Party or of a Party’s competitor, and (3) at the time of retention, is not 19 anticipated to become an employee of a Party or of a Party’s competitor. 20 2.10 House Counsel: Attorneys who are employees of a party to this Action. 21 House Counsel does not include Outside Counsel of Record or any other outside 22 counsel. 23 24 2.11 Non-Party: Any natural person, partnership, corporation, association, or other legal entity not named as a Party to this Action. 25 2.12 Outside Counsel of Record: Attorneys who are not employees of a 26 party to this Action but are retained to represent or advise a party to this Action and 27 28 5 STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER Case 2:17-cv-03221-RGK (MRWx) 1 have appeared in this Action on behalf of that party or are affiliated with a law firm 2 which has appeared on behalf of that party, and includes support staff. 3 2.13 Party: Any party to this Action, including all of its officers, directors, 4 employees, consultants, retained experts, and Outside Counsel of Record (and their 5 support staffs). 6 7 2.14 Producing Party: A Party or Non-Party that produces Disclosure or Discovery Material in this Action. 8 2.15 Professional Vendors: Persons or entities that provide litigation support 9 services (e.g., stenographers, photocopying, videotaping, translating, preparing 10 exhibits or demonstrations, and organizing, storing, or retrieving data in any form or 11 medium) and their employees and subcontractors. 12 2.16 Protected Material: Any Disclosure or Discovery Material that is 13 designated as “CONFIDENTIAL,” “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ 14 EYES ONLY,” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – SOURCE CODE.” 15 2.17 Receiving Party: A Party that receives Disclosure or Discovery 16 Material from a Producing Party. 17 3. SCOPE 18 The protections conferred by this Stipulation and Order cover not only 19 Protected Material (as defined above), but also (1) any information copied or 20 extracted from Protected Material; (2) all copies, excerpts, summaries, or 21 compilations of Protected Material; and (3) any testimony, conversations, or 22 presentations by Parties or their Counsel that might reveal Protected Material. 23 However, the protections conferred by this Stipulation and Order do not cover the 24 following information: (a) any information that is in the public domain at the time of 25 disclosure to a Receiving Party or becomes part of the public domain after its 26 disclosure to a Receiving Party as a result of publication not involving a violation of 27 this Order, including becoming part of the public record through trial or otherwise; 28 6 STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER Case 2:17-cv-03221-RGK (MRWx) 1 and (b) any information known to the Receiving Party prior to the disclosure or 2 obtained by the Receiving Party after the disclosure from a source who obtained the 3 information lawfully and under no obligation of confidentiality to the Designating 4 Party. 5 Any use of Protected Material at trial will be governed by the orders of the 6 trial judge. 7 4. DURATION 8 Even after final disposition of this Action, the confidentiality obligations 9 imposed by this Order shall remain in effect until a Designating Party agrees 10 otherwise in writing or a court order otherwise directs. Final disposition shall be 11 deemed to be the later of (1) dismissal of all claims and defenses in this Action, with 12 or without prejudice; and (2) final judgment herein after the completion and 13 exhaustion of all appeals, rehearings, remands, trials, or reviews of this Action, 14 including the time limits for filing any motions or applications for extension of time 15 pursuant to applicable law. 16 5. 17 DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL 5.1 Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection. 18 Each Party or Non-Party that designates information or items for protection under 19 this Order must take care to limit any such designation to specific material that 20 qualifies under the appropriate standards. To the extent it is practical to do so, the 21 Designating Party must designate for protection only those parts of material, 22 documents, items, or oral or written communications that qualify – so that other 23 portions of the material, documents, items, or communications for which protection 24 is not warranted are not swept unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order. 25 If it comes to a Designating Party’s attention that information or items that it 26 designated for protection do not qualify for protection at all or do not qualify for the 27 28 7 STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER Case 2:17-cv-03221-RGK (MRWx) 1 level of protection initially asserted, that Designating Party must promptly notify all 2 other parties that it is withdrawing the mistaken designation. 3 5.2 Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in 4 this Order (see, e.g., second paragraph of Section 5.2(a) below), or as otherwise 5 stipulated or ordered, Disclosure or Discovery Material that qualifies for protection 6 under this Order must be clearly so designated before the material is disclosed or 7 produced. 8 Designation in conformity with this Order requires: 9 (a) For information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic documents, 10 but excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial proceedings), that 11 the 12 CONFIDENTIAL 13 CONFIDENTIAL – SOURCE CODE” to each page that contains Protected 14 Material. To the extent it is practical to do so, if only a portion or portions of the 15 material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly 16 identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the 17 margins) and must specify, for each portion, the level of protection being asserted. Producing Party – affix the legend ATTORNEYS’ “CONFIDENTIAL,” EYES ONLY,” or “HIGHLY “HIGHLY 18 A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents or materials available for 19 inspection need not designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has 20 indicated which material it would like copied and produced. During the inspection 21 and before the designation, all of the material made available for inspection except 22 for Source Code shall be deemed “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ 23 EYES ONLY” and Source Code shall be deemed “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – 24 SOURCE CODE.” After the inspecting Party has identified the documents it wants 25 copied and produced, the Producing Party must determine which documents, or 26 portions thereof, qualify for protection under this Order. Then, before producing the 27 specified documents, the Producing Party must affix the appropriate legend 28 8 STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER Case 2:17-cv-03221-RGK (MRWx) 1 (“CONFIDENTIAL,” “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES 2 ONLY,” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – SOURCE CODE”) to each page that 3 contains Protected Material. If only a portion or portions of the material on a page 4 qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected 5 portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins) and must specify, 6 for each portion, the level of protection being asserted. 7 (b) For testimony given in deposition or in other pretrial or trial proceedings, 8 that the Designating Party identify on the record, before the close of the deposition, 9 hearing, or other proceeding, all protected testimony and specify the level of 10 protection being asserted. When it is impractical to identify separately each portion 11 of testimony that is entitled to protection and it appears that substantial portions of 12 the testimony may qualify for protection, the Designating Party may invoke on the 13 record (before the deposition, hearing, or other proceeding is concluded) a right to 14 have up to 30 days to identify the specific portions of the testimony as to which 15 protection is sought and to specify the level of protection being asserted. Only those 16 portions of the testimony that are appropriately designated for protection within the 17 30 days shall be covered by the provisions of this Stipulated Protective Order. 18 Alternatively, a Designating Party may specify, at the deposition or up to 30 days 19 afterwards if that period is properly invoked, that the entire transcript shall be treated 20 as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES 21 ONLY.” 22 The use of a document as an exhibit at a deposition shall not in any way 23 affect 24 CONFIDENTIAL 25 CONFIDENTIAL – SOURCE CODE.” the document’s – designation ATTORNEYS’ as “CONFIDENTIAL,” EYES ONLY,” or “HIGHLY “HIGHLY 26 Transcripts containing Protected Material shall have an obvious legend on the 27 title page that the transcript contains Protected Material, and the title page shall be 28 9 STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER Case 2:17-cv-03221-RGK (MRWx) 1 followed by a list of all pages (including line numbers as appropriate) that have been 2 designated as Protected Material and the level of protection being asserted by the 3 Designating Party. The Designating Party shall inform the court reporter of these 4 requirements. Any transcript that is prepared before the expiration of a 30-day 5 period for designation shall be treated during that period as if it had been designated 6 “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” in its entirety unless 7 otherwise agreed. After the expiration of that period, the transcript shall be treated 8 only as actually designated. 9 (c) For information produced in some form other than documentary and for 10 any other tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on the 11 exterior of the container or containers in which the information or item is stored the 12 legend “CONFIDENTIAL,” “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES 13 ONLY,” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – SOURCE CODE.” If only a portion or 14 portions of the information or item warrant protection, the Producing Party, to the 15 extent practicable, shall identify the protected portion(s) and specify the level of 16 protection being asserted. 17 5.3 Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent 18 failure to designate qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive 19 the Designating Party’s right to secure protection under this Order for such material. 20 Upon timely correction of a designation, the Receiving Party must make reasonable 21 efforts to assure that the material is treated in accordance with the provisions of this 22 Order. 23 6. 24 CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS 6.1 Timing of Challenges. Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a 25 designation of confidentiality at any time that is consistent with the Court’s 26 Scheduling Order. Unless a prompt challenge to a Designating Party’s 27 confidentiality designation is necessary to avoid foreseeable, substantial unfairness, 28 10 STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER Case 2:17-cv-03221-RGK (MRWx) 1 unnecessary economic burdens, or a significant disruption or delay of this Action, a 2 Party does not waive its right to challenge a confidentiality designation by electing 3 not to mount a challenge promptly after the original designation is disclosed. 4 6.2 Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute 5 resolution process (and, if necessary, file a discovery motion) under Local Rule 37.1 6 et seq. To avoid ambiguity as to whether a challenge has been made, the written 7 notice must recite that the challenge to confidentiality is being made in accordance 8 with this specific paragraph of the Protective Order. The parties shall attempt to 9 resolve each challenge in good faith and must begin the process by conferring 10 directly within 14 days of the date of service of notice. In conferring, the 11 Challenging Party must explain the basis for its belief that the confidentiality 12 designation was not proper and must give the Designating Party an opportunity to 13 review the designated material, to reconsider the circumstances, and, if no change in 14 designation is offered, to explain the basis for the chosen designation. A Challenging 15 Party may proceed to the next stage of the challenge process only if it has engaged in 16 this meet and confer process first or establishes that the Designating Party is 17 unwilling to participate in the meet and confer process in a timely manner. 18 6.3 Judicial Intervention. If the Parties cannot resolve a challenge without 19 court intervention, the parties must meet-and-confer pursuant to Local Rule 37-1. If 20 the parties are unable to come to an agreement, the parties must submit a joint 21 stipulation setting forth the issues, as required by Local Rule 37-1 within 21 days of 22 the initial notice of challenge or within 14 days of the parties agreeing that the meet 23 and confer process will not resolve their dispute, whichever is earlier, and conforms 24 to the Local Rules. Under Local Rule 37-2, each written stipulation must be filed 25 and served with the notice of the motion. 26 The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on the 27 Designating Party. Frivolous challenges and those made for an improper purpose 28 11 STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER Case 2:17-cv-03221-RGK (MRWx) 1 (e.g., to harass or impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may 2 expose the Challenging Party to sanctions. Unless the parties submit a joint 3 stipulation, all parties shall continue to afford the material in question the level of 4 protection to which it is entitled under the Producing Party’s designation until the 5 court rules on the challenge. 6 7. 7 ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL 7.1 Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is 8 disclosed or produced by another Party or by a Non-Party in connection with this 9 case only for prosecuting, defending, or attempting to settle this Action. Specifically, 10 all Protected Material shall be used solely for this case or any related appellate 11 proceeding, and not for any other purpose whatsoever, including without limitation 12 any other litigation, patent prosecution or acquisition, patent reexamination or 13 reissue proceedings, or any business or competitive purpose or function, unless 14 otherwise agreed to by the Parties or ordered by the court. Protected Material shall 15 not be distributed, disclosed or made available to anyone except as expressly 16 provided in this Order. 17 Such Protected Material may be disclosed only to the categories of persons 18 and under the conditions described in this Order. 19 terminated, a Receiving Party must comply with the provisions of Section 15 below 20 (FINAL DISPOSITION). When the Action has been 21 Protected Material must be stored and maintained by a Receiving Party at a 22 location and in a secure manner that ensures that access is limited to the persons 23 authorized under this Order. 24 Any party receiving Protected Material shall take technical and organizational 25 security measures that are appropriate to the risks, such as unauthorized access, 26 presented by the processing. Any person acting under the authority of a Receiving 27 Party, including a data processor, must not process the data except on instructions 28 12 STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER Case 2:17-cv-03221-RGK (MRWx) 1 from the Receiving Party. Any party receiving Protected Material shall have in place 2 procedures so that any third party it authorizes to have access to the Protected 3 Material, including processors, will respect and maintain the confidentiality and 4 security of the Protected Material. 5 7.2 Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items. Unless 6 otherwise ordered by the court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party, a 7 Receiving 8 “CONFIDENTIAL” only to: Party may disclose any information or item designated 9 (a) the Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of Record in this Action, as well as 10 employees of said Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably necessary to 11 disclose the information for this Action and who have signed the “Acknowledgment 12 and Agreement to Be Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit A; 13 (b) the officers, directors, and employees (including House Counsel) of the 14 Receiving Party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who 15 have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A); 16 (c) Experts (as defined in this Order) of the Receiving Party to whom 17 disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have signed the 18 “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A); 19 (d) the Court and its personnel; 20 (e) court reporters and their staff, professional jury or trial consultants, and 21 Professional Vendors to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action 22 and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit 23 A); 24 25 (f) the author or recipient of a document containing the information or a custodian or other person who otherwise possessed or knew the information. 26 (g) during their depositions, witnesses, and attorneys for witnesses, in the 27 Action to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary provided: (1) the deposing party 28 13 STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER Case 2:17-cv-03221-RGK (MRWx) 1 requests that the witness sign the form attached as Exhibit A hereto; and (2) they 2 will not be permitted to keep any confidential information unless they sign the 3 “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A), unless otherwise 4 agreed by the Designating Party or ordered by the Court.

The Producing Party 21 may visually monitor the activities of the Receiving Party’s representatives during 22 any Source Code review from outside the review room, but only to ensure that there 23 is no unauthorized recording, copying, or transmission of the Source Code. Such 24 monitoring shall not entail review of any work product generated by the Receiving 25 Party, e.g., monitoring the screen of the secure computer, monitoring any surface 26 reflecting any notes or work product of the Receiving Party, or monitoring the key 27 28 17 STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER Case 2:17-cv-03221-RGK (MRWx) 1 strokes of the Receiving Party. There will be no video supervision by the Producing 2 Party. 3 (c) The Receiving Party may request that commercially available software 4 tools for viewing and searching Source Code be installed on the secured PC. The 5 Receiving party must provide the Producing Party a CD, DVD, or other media 6 containing such software tools, or links for a download at least 4 days in advance of 7 the inspection. The Receiving Party shall be responsible for providing a license for 8 the use of the review and search tools. 9 (d) The Receiving Party may request paper copies of limited portions of 10 Source Code that are reasonably necessary for the preparation of court filings, 11 pleadings, expert reports, or other papers, or for deposition or trial, but shall not 12 request paper copies for the purposes of reviewing the Source Code other than 13 electronically as set forth in paragraph (b) in the first instance. The Producing Party 14 shall provide all such Source Code in paper form including bates numbers and the 15 label “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – SOURCE CODE.” The Producing Party may 16 challenge the amount of Source Code requested in hard copy form pursuant to the 17 dispute resolution procedure and timeframes set forth in Section 6 whereby the 18 Producing Party is the “Challenging Party” the and Receiving Party is the 19 “Designating Party” for purposes of dispute resolution.

The Receiving 27 Party shall maintain all paper copies of any printed portions of the Source Code in a 28 18 STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER Case 2:17-cv-03221-RGK (MRWx) 1 secured, locked area.

No discovery can be taken from any non- 27 testifying expert except to the extent that such non-testifying expert has provided 28 19 STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER Case 2:17-cv-03221-RGK (MRWx) 1 information, opinions, or other materials to a testifying expert relied upon by that 2 testifying expert in forming his or her final report(s), trial, and/or deposition 3 testimony or any opinion in this case. 4 (e) No conversations or communications between counsel and any testifying 5 or consulting expert will be subject to discovery unless the conversations or 6 communications are relied upon by such experts in formulating opinions that are 7 presented in reports or trial or deposition testimony in this case. 8 (f) Materials, communications, and other information exempt from discovery 9 under the foregoing Paragraphs 8(a)–(e) shall be treated as attorney work product for 10 the purposes of this litigation and Order. 11 (g) Nothing in Protective Order, include Paragraphs 8(a)–(e), shall alter or 12 change in any way the requirements in Section 7.5 regarding Source Code, and 13 Section 7.5 shall control in the event of any conflict. 14 9. 15 PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED PRODUCED IN OTHER LITIGATION 16 If a Party is served with a subpoena or a court order issued in other litigation 17 that compels disclosure of any information or items designated in this Action as 18 “CONFIDENTIAL,” “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES 19 ONLY,” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – SOURCE CODE” that Party must: 20 21 OR ORDERED (a) Promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification shall include a copy of the subpoena or court order; 22 (b) Promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or order to 23 issue in the other litigation that some or all of the material covered by the subpoena 24 or order is subject to this Protective Order. Such notification shall include a copy of 25 this Stipulated Protective Order; and 26 27 (c) Cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be pursued by the Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected. 28 20 STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER Case 2:17-cv-03221-RGK (MRWx) 1 If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served with 2 the subpoena or court order shall not produce any information designated in this 3 Action as “CONFIDENTIAL,” “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ 4 EYES ONLY,” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – SOURCE CODE” before a 5 determination by the court from which the subpoena or order issued, unless the Party 6 has obtained the Designating Party’s permission. The Designating Party shall bear 7 the burden and expense of seeking protection in that court of its confidential material 8 – and nothing in these provisions should be construed as authorizing or encouraging 9 a Receiving Party in this Action to disobey a lawful directive from another court. 10 10. 11 A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE PRODUCED IN THIS ACTION 12 (a) The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by a 13 Non-Party in this Action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL,” “HIGHLY 14 CONFIDENTIAL 15 CONFIDENTIAL – SOURCE CODE.” Such information produced by Non-Parties 16 in connection with this Action is protected by the remedies and relief provided by 17 this Order. Nothing in these provisions should be construed as prohibiting a Non- 18 Party from seeking additional protections. 19 (b) – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,” or “HIGHLY In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, to 20 produce a Non-Party’s confidential information in its possession, and the Party is 21 subject to an agreement with the Non-Party not to produce the Non-Party’s 22 confidential information, then the Party shall: 23 1. Promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non-Party that 24 some or all of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality agreement 25 with a Non-Party; 26 27 28 21 STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER Case 2:17-cv-03221-RGK (MRWx) 1 2. Promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the Stipulated 2 Protective Order in this Action, the relevant discovery request(s), and a reasonably 3 specific description of the information requested; and 4 5 3.

If the Non-Party timely seeks a protective order, the Receiving 10 Party shall not produce any information in its possession, custody, or control that is 11 subject to the confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party before a determination 12 by the court. Absent a court order to the contrary, the Non-Party shall bear the 13 burden and expense of seeking protection in this court of its Protected Material. 14 11. UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL 15 If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has disclosed 16 Protected Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized under this 17 Stipulated Protective Order, the Receiving Party must immediately (a) notify in 18 writing the Designating Party of the unauthorized disclosures, (b) use its best efforts 19 to retrieve all unauthorized copies of the Protected Material, (c) inform the person or 20 persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the terms of this Order, 21 and (d) request such person or persons to execute the “Acknowledgment and 22 Agreement to Be Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit A. 23 12. 24 INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE PROTECTED MATERIAL 25 When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain 26 inadvertently produced material is subject to a claim of privilege or other protection, 27 the obligations of the Receiving Parties are those set forth in Federal Rule of Civil 28 22 STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER Case 2:17-cv-03221-RGK (MRWx) 1 Procedure 26(b)(5)(B). This provision is not intended to modify whatever procedure 2 may be established in an e-discovery order that provides for production without prior 3 privilege review. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 502(d) and (e), insofar as the 4 parties reach an agreement on the effect of disclosure of a communication or 5 information covered by the attorney-client privilege or work product protection, the 6 parties may incorporate their agreement in the stipulated protective order submitted 7 to the court. 8 Upon a request from any Producing Party who has inadvertently produced 9 Discovery Material that it believes is privileged and/or protected, each Receiving 10 Party shall immediately return such Protected Material or Discovery Material and all 11 copies to the Producing Party, except for any pages containing privileged markings 12 by the Receiving Party which shall instead be destroyed and certified as such by the 13 Receiving Party to the Producing Party. 14 If the Receiving Party has disclosed the information to others before being 15 notified of the claim of privilege or protection, the Receiving Party must take 16 reasonable steps to retrieve and return or destroy the disclosed information. No use 17 shall be made of such documents or information during deposition or at trial, nor 18 shall such documents or information be shown to anyone after the request that they 19 be returned. If a claim is disputed, the Receiving Party shall not use or disclose a 20 document or information for which a claim of privilege or immunity is made 21 pursuant to this paragraph for any purpose until the matter is resolved by agreement 22 of the Parties or by a decision of this court. 23 Nothing in this Protective Order shall require disclosure of material that a 24 Party contends is protected from disclosure by attorney-client privilege or the 25 attorney work-product immunity or any other applicable form of immunity. This 26 shall not preclude any Party from moving the court for an order directing the 27 disclosure of such material. 28 23 STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER Case 2:17-cv-03221-RGK (MRWx) 1 13. 2 3 MISCELLANEOUS 13.1 Right to Further Relief. Nothing in this Order abridges the right of any person to seek its modification by the court in the future. 4 13.2 Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of this 5 Protective Order no Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to 6 disclosing or producing any information or item on any ground not addressed in this 7 Stipulated Protective Order. Similarly, no Party waives any right to object on any 8 ground to use in evidence of any of the material covered by this Protective Order. 9 13.3 Filing Protected Material. Without written permission from the 10 Designating Party or a court order secured after appropriate notice to all interested 11 persons, a Party may not file in the public record in this Action any Protected 12 Material. A Party that seeks to file under seal any Protected Material must comply 13 with Civil Local Rule 79-5. Protected Material may only be filed under seal pursuant 14 to a court order authorizing the sealing of the specific Protected Material at issue. 15 Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 79-5, a sealing order will issue only upon a request 16 establishing that the Protected Material at issue is privileged, protectable as a trade 17 secret, or otherwise entitled to protection under the law. If a Receiving Party's 18 request to file Protected Material under seal pursuant to Civil Local Rule 79-5 is 19 denied by the court, then the Receiving Party may file the Protected Material in the 20 public record pursuant to Civil Local Rule 79-5 unless otherwise instructed by the 21 court. 22 14. 23 24 25 26 27 PATENT PROSECUTION BAR Absent the written consent of the Producing Party, any person on behalf of the Receiving Party who receives one or more items designated “CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” or “CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY – SOURCE CODE” by a Producing Party shall not be involved, directly or indirectly, in any of the following activities: (i) advising on, consulting on, 28 24 STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER Case 2:17-cv-03221-RGK (MRWx) 1 preparing, prosecuting, drafting, editing, and/or amending of patent applications, 2 specifications, claims, and/or responses to office actions, or otherwise affecting the 3 scope of claims in patents or patent applications relating to the functionality, 4 operation, and/or design of technology concerning digital cameras and components 5 thereof (generally or as described in any patent in suit), before any foreign or 6 domestic agency, including the United States Patent and Trademark Office; and (ii) 7 the acquisition of patents (including patent applications), or the rights to any such 8 patents or patent applications with the right to sublicense, relating to the 9 functionality, operation, and design of technology concerning digital cameras and 10 components thereof. These prohibitions are not intended to and shall not preclude 11 counsel from participating in proceedings on behalf of a Party challenging the 12 validity of any patent, and these prohibitions are not intended to and shall not 13 preclude counsel for the Receiving Party from participating in reexamination, inter 14 partes review proceedings, or covered business method review to defend the validity 15 of any challenged patent, but counsel for the Receiving Party may not participate in 16 the crafting of amended claims in any such proceedings. These prohibitions shall 17 begin when access to “CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” or 18 “CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY – SOURCE CODE” materials 19 are first received by the affected individual, and shall end two (2) years after the 20 final resolution of this action, including all appeals. 21 15. FINAL DISPOSITION 22 Within 60 days after the final disposition of this Action, as defined in Section 23 4, each Receiving Party must return all Protected Material to the Producing Party or 24 destroy such material. As used in this subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes 25 all copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries, and any other format reproducing or 26 capturing any of the Protected Material. Whether the Protected Material is returned 27 or destroyed, the Receiving Party must submit a written certification to the 28 25 STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER Case 2:17-cv-03221-RGK (MRWx) 1 Producing Party (and, if not the same person or entity, to the Designating Party) by 2 the 60-day deadline that (1) identifies (by category, where appropriate) all the 3 Protected Material that was returned or destroyed and (2) affirms that the Receiving 4 Party has not retained any copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries or any other 5 format reproducing or capturing any of the Protected Material. Notwithstanding this 6 provision, Counsel are entitled to retain an archival copy of all pleadings, motion 7 papers, trial, deposition, and hearing transcripts, legal memoranda, correspondence, 8 deposition and trial exhibits, expert reports, attorney work product, and consultant 9 and expert work product, even if such materials contain Protected Material. Any 10 such archival copies that contain or constitute Protected Material remain subject to 11 this Protective Order as set forth in Section 4 (DURATION). 12 16. VIOLATIONS 13 Any willful violation of this Order may be punished by civil or criminal 14 contempt proceedings, financial or evidentiary sanctions, reference to disciplinary 15 authorities, or other appropriate action at the discretion of the Court. 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 26 STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER Case 2:17-cv-03221-RGK (MRWx) 1 IT IS SO STIPULATED, THROUGH COUNSEL OF RECORD. 2 3 Dated: November 9, 2017 4 FISH & RICHARDSON P.C.
