STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED]PROTECTIVE ORDER

PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS

1 I 1

A.

2

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, defending, or

5

settling this litigation maybe warranted. Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to

6

and petition the Court to enter the following Protective Order("Order"). The parties

7

acknowledge that this Order does not confer blanket protections on all disclosures

8

or responses to discovery and that the protection it affords from public disclosure

9

and use extends only to the limited information or items that are entitled to

10

confidential treatment under the applicable legal principles. The parties further

11

acknowledge, as set forth in Section 12.3, below, that this Order does not entitle

12

them 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 party

14

seeks permission from the court to file material under seal.

15

B.

16

The parties to this Action may need to produce sensitive trade secrets,

17

customer and pricing lists and other valuable research, development, commercial,

18

f
inancial, technical and/or proprietary information for which special protection from

19

public disclosure and from use for any purpose other than the prosecution, defense,

2
0

or settlement ofthis Action is warranted. Such confidential and proprietary materials

21

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

22

f
inancial information, or other confidential research, development, or commercial

23

information, information regarding confidential business practices, information

2
4

otherwise generally unavailable to the public, or which may be privileged or

25

otherwise protected from disclosure under state or federal statutes, court rules, case

26

decisions, or common law,including specifically, customer lists, marketing/strategic

27

plans, financial information, and product design documents. While such material

28

may be relevant to this litigation, it may be damaging if competitors, licensees, or

TION AND [PROPOSED]

1

others have access to it. Accordingly, to expedite the flow of information, facilitate

2

the prompt resolution of disputes over confidentiality of discovery materials,

3

adequately protect information the parties are entitled to keep confidential, ensure

4

that the parties are permitted reasonable necessary uses of such material in

5

preparation for and in the conduct of trial, address their handling at the end of the

6

litigation, and serve the ends of justice, a protective order for such information is

7

justified in this matter. It is the intent of the parties that information will not be

8

designated as confidential for tactical reasons and that nothing be so designated

9

without a good faith belief that it has been maintained in a confidential, non-public

10

manner, and there is good cause why it should not be part of the public record of this

11

case.

DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL

6

5.1

Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designatin~Material for Protection.

7

Each Party or Non-Party that designates information or items for protection under

8

this Order must take care to limit any such designation to specific material that

9

qualifies under the appropriate standards. The Designating Party must designate for

10

protection only those parts of material, documents, items, or oral or written

11

communications that qualify so that other portions ofthe material, documents, items,

12

or communications for which protection is not warranted are not swept unjustifiably

13

within the ambit of this Order.

14

Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations

15

that are shown to be clearly unjustified or that have been made for an improper

16

purpose (e.g., to unnecessarily encumber the case development process or to impose

17

unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the Designating

18

Party to sanctions.

19

If it comes to a Designating Party's attention that information or items that it

2
0

designated for protection do not qualify for protection, that Designating Party must

21

promptly notify all other Parties that it is withdrawing the inapplicable designation.

22

5.2

Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in

23

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

24

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

25

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

2
6

produced.

28

Designation in conformity with this Order requires:

"

4

appropriate (hereinafter "CONFIDENTIALITY Legend"), to each page that

5

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

6

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

7

portions)(e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins).

8

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

9

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

10

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

11

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

12

deemed "CONFIDENTIAL-ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY." After the inspecting

13

Party has identified the documents it wants copied and produced, the Producing

14

Party must determine which documents, or portions thereof, qualify for protection

15

under this Order. Then, before producing the specified documents, the Producing

16

Party must affix the appropriate CONFIDENTIALITY Legend to each page that

17

contains Protected Material. Disclosure of original documents for inspection shall

not constitute a waiver of the attorney-client privilege or work product immunity

the information consists of an electronic file, as part of the file name thereof, the

12

appropriate CONFIDENTIALITY Legend. If only a portion or portions of the

13

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

14

identify the protected portion(s).

15

5.3

Inadvertent Failures to Designate. An inadvertent failure to designate

16

qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive the Designating

17

Party's right to secure protection under this Order for such material. Upon correction

18

ofa designation, the Receiving Party must make reasonable efforts to assure that the

material is treated in accordance with the provisions of this Order.

ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
7.1

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

7

disclosed or produced by a Producing Party only for purposes of prosecuting,
