A. PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS

2
3

Discovery in this action is likely to involve production of confidential,

4

proprietary, or private information for which special protection from public

5

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

6

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

7

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

8

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

9

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

10

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

11

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

12

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

13

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

14

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

15

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

16
17

B. GOOD CAUSE STATEMENT

18
19

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

20

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

21

proprietary information for which special protection from public disclosure and from

22

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

23

confidential and proprietary materials and information consist of, among other

24

things, confidential business or financial information, information regarding

25

purchase and sale prices of fabric or garments by suppliers, manufacturers,

26

importers, distributors or fashion retailers, information regarding confidential

27

business practices, information regarding the creation, purchase or sale of graphics

28

used on textiles and garments, or other confidential commercial information
2
ORDER

1

(including information implicating privacy rights of third parties), information

2

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

3

protected from disclosure under state or federal rules, court rules, case decisions, or

4

common law. Accordingly, to expedite the flow of information, to facilitate the

5

prompt resolution of disputes over confidentiality of discovery materials, to

6

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

7

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

8

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

9

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

10

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

11

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

12

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

13

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

14

case.

15
16

2.

ORDER

4.

DURATION
Even after final disposition of this litigation, the confidentiality obligations

2
3

imposed by this Order shall remain in effect until a Designating Party agrees

4

otherwise in writing or a court order otherwise directs. Final disposition shall be

5

deemed to be the later of (1) dismissal of all claims and defenses in this Action,

6

with or without prejudice; and (2) final judgment herein after the completion and

7

exhaustion of all appeals, rehearings, remands, trials, or reviews of this Action,

8

including the time limits for filing any motions or applications for extension of

9

time pursuant to applicable law.

10

12

5.

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

13

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

14

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

15

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

16

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

17

communications that qualify so that other portions of the material, documents,

18

items, or communications for which protection is not warranted are not swept

19

unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order.

20

Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations

21

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

22

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

23

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

24

Designating Party to sanctions.

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, that Designating Party must

27

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

28
6
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” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES

11

ONLY”, to each page that

12

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

13

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

14

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

15

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

16

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

17

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

18

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

19

deemed “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.” After the

20

inspecting Party has identified thedocuments it wants copied and produced, the

21

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

22

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

23

Producing Party must affix the appropriate legend (“CONFIDENTIAL” or

24

“HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY”) to each page that

25

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

26

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

27

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

28

(b) for testimony given in depositions that the Designating Party identify
7
ORDER

1

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

2

deposition all protected testimony.

3

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

4

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

5

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

6

legend “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’

7

EYES ONLY.” If only a portion or portions of the information

8

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

9

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

10
11

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

12

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

13

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

14

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

15

provisions of this Order.

16
17
18

6.

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

19

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

20

Scheduling Order.

21
22
23

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

24

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

25

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

26

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

27

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

28

continue to afford the material in question the level of protection to which it is
8
ORDER

1

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

2

challenge.

3
4

7.

ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL

5

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

6

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

7

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

8

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

9

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

10

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

11

DISPOSITION).

12

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

13

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

14

authorized under this Order.

15

7.2 Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items. Unless

16

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

17

Receiving Party may disclose any information or item designated

18

“CONFIDENTIAL” only to:

19

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

20

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

21

necessary to disclose the information for this Action;

22
23
24

(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

25

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

26

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

27

(d) the court and its personnel;

28

(e) court reporters and their staff;
9
ORDER

1

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

2

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

3

signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A);
(g) the author or recipient of a document containing the information or a

4
5

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

6
7

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

8

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

9

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

10

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

11

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

12

deposition testimony or exhibits to depositions that reveal Protected Material may

13

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

14

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

15
16

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

17

7.3

Disclosure of “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATORNEY’S EYES

18

ONLY” Information or Items. Unless otherwise ordered by the court or permitted

19

in writing by the Designating Party, any information or item designated “HIGHLY

20

CONFIDENTIAL – ATORNEY’S EYES ONLY” may be disclosed to each of the

21

individuals identified in section 7.2 supra, except for the individuals described in

22

subsection (b) of section 7.2, i.e. the officers, directors, and employees (including

23

House Counsel) of the Receiving Party.

24
25
26

PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED
IN OTHER LITIGATION

27

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

28

8.

that compels disclosure of any information or items designated in this Action as
10
ORDER

1

“CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES

2

ONLY” that Party must:
(a) promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification

3
4

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

5
6

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

7

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

8

include a copy of this Stipulated Protective Order; and
(c) cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be

9
10

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

11

If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served with

12

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

13

action as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’

14

EYES ONLY” before a determination by the court from which the

15

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

16

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

17

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

18

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

19

to disobey a lawful directive from another court.

20
21

9.

A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE

22

PRODUCED IN THIS LITIGATION

23

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

24

Non-Party in this Action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY

25

CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.” Such information

26

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

27

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

28

construed as prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking additional protections.
11
ORDER

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

1
2

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

3

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

4

confidential information, then the Party shall:
(1) promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non-Party

5
6

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

7

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

8
9
10

Protective Order in this Action, the relevant discovery request(s), and a reasonably
specific description of the information requested; and
(3) make the information requested available for inspection by the

11
12

Non-Party, if requested.
(c) If the Non-Party fails to seek a protective order from this court within

13
14

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

15

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

16

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

17

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

18

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

19

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

20

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

21
22

10.

UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL

23

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

24

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

25

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

26

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

27

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

28

the person or persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the terms
12
ORDER

1

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

2

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

3

A.

4
5

11.

INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE

6

PROTECTED MATERIAL

7

When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain

8

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

9

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

10

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

11

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

12

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

13

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

14

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

15

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

16

stipulated protective order submitted to the court.

17
18
19
20

12.

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

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

21

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

22

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

23

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

24

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

25

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

26

Order.

27

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

28
13
ORDER

1

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

2

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

3

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

4

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

5

in the public record unless otherwise instructed by the court.

6
7

13.

FINAL DISPOSITION

8

After the final disposition of this Action, as defined in paragraph 4, within

9

60 days of a written request by the Designating Party, each Receiving Party must

10

return all Protected Material to the Producing Party or destroy such material. As

11

used in this subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes all copies, abstracts,

12

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

13

Protected Material. Whether the Protected Material is returned or destroyed, the

14

Receiving Party must submit a written certification to the Producing Party (and, if

15

not the same person or entity, to the Designating Party) by the 60 day deadline that

16

(1) identifies (by category, where appropriate) all the Protected Material that was

17

returned or destroyed and (2)affirms that the Receiving Party has not retained any

18

copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries or any other format reproducing or

19

capturing any of the Protected Material. Notwithstanding this provision, Counsel

20

are entitled to retain an archival copy of all pleadings, motion papers, trial,

21

deposition, and hearing transcripts, legal memoranda, correspondence, deposition

22

and trial exhibits, expert reports, attorney work product, and consultant and expert

23

work product, even if such materials contain Protected Material. Any such archival

24

copies that contain or constitute Protected Material remain subject to this

25

Protective Order as set forth in Section 4 (DURATION).

26
27

14.

Any violation of this Order may be punished by any and all appropriate

28

measures including, without limitation, contempt proceedings and/or monetary
14
ORDER

1

sanctions.
