INTRODUCTION

20

A.

Purposes and Limitations

21

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

22

proprietary, or private information for which special protection from public

23

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

24

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

25

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

26

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

27

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

28

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

Gordon Rees Scully Mansukhani, LLP

1

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

2

in Section 12.3 (Filing Protected Material), below, that this Stipulated Protective

3

Order does not entitle them to file confidential information under seal; Civil Local

4

Rule 79-5 sets forth the procedures that must be followed and the standards that will

5

be applied when a party seeks permission from the court to file material under seal.

Good Cause Statement

7

The present litigation is a breach of contract action between two businesses

8

in which Plaintiff Nagravision S.A.R.L. (“Nagravision”) alleges that Defendant

9

Triller, Inc. (“Triller”) has breached a patent license agreement.

Discovery

10

encompasses communications and documentation that reflect Nagravision’s

11

internal operations, including materials that embody or otherwise reflect

12

Nagravision’s proprietary and confidential business information (including

13

licensing strategy), the public disclosure of which would cause it competitive harm.

14

Accordingly, Nagravision and Triller (together, the “Parties”) are in accord that the

15

present Stipulated Protective Order is warranted.

DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL

21

5.1

22

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

23

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

24

that qualifies under the appropriate standards.

25

designate for protection only those parts of material, documents, items, or oral or

26

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

27

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

28

swept unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order.

Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection.

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

-4-

The Designating Party must

CASE NO. 2:23-cv-06802-GW-SKx

1

Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations

2

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

3

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

4

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

5

Party to sanctions.

6

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

7

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

8

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

Gordon Rees Scully Mansukhani, LLP
633 W. Fifth Street, 52nd Floor
Los Angeles, CA 90071

9

5.2

Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in

10

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

11

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

12

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

13

produced.

14

Designation in conformity with this Order requires:

15

(a)

for information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic

16

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

17

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

18

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

19

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

20

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

21

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

22

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

23

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

24

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

25

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

26

deemed “CONFIDENTIAL.”

27

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

28

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

After the inspecting Party has identified the

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

-5-

CASE NO. 2:23-cv-06802-GW-SKx

1

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

2

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

3

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

4

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

5

markings in the margins).

6

(b)

7

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

8

deposition all protected testimony.

9

Gordon Rees Scully Mansukhani, LLP
633 W. Fifth Street, 52nd Floor
Los Angeles, CA 90071

for testimony given in depositions that the Designating Party identify

(c)

for information produced in some form other than documentary and

10

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

11

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

12

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

13

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

14

protected portion(s).

15

5.3

Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent

16

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

17

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

18

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

19

efforts to assure that the material is treated in accordance with the provisions of this

20

Order.

21

6.

22

CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS
6.1

Timing of Challenges. Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a

23

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

24

Scheduling Order.

25
26
27
28

6.2

Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party Shall initiate the dispute

resolution process under Civil Local Rule 37-1 et seq.
6.3

The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be

on the Designating Party. Frivolous challenges, and those made for an improper
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

-6-

CASE NO. 2:23-cv-06802-GW-SKx

1

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

2

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

3

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

4

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

5

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

6

challenge.

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

26

“CONFIDENTIAL,” that Party must:

27
28

a copy of this Stipulated Protective Order; and

6

Gordon Rees Scully Mansukhani, LLP
633 W. Fifth Street, 52nd Floor
Los Angeles, CA 90071

promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or order

(c)

cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be

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

7

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

8

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

9

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

10

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

11

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

12

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

13

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

14

to disobey a lawful directive from another court.

15

9.

A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE

16

PRODUCED IN THIS LITIGATION

17

(a)

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

18

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

19

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

20

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

21

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

22

(b)

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

23

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

24

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

25

confidential information, then the Party shall:

26

(1)

promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non-

27

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

28

confidentiality agreement with a Non-Party;
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

-9-

CASE NO. 2:23-cv-06802-GW-SKx

Los Angeles, CA 90071

promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the Stipulated

(3)

make the information requested available for inspection by the

5

Non-Party, if requested.

6

(c)

If the Non-Party fails to seek a protective order from this Court within

7

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

8

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

9

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

10

not produce any information in its possession or control that is subject to the

11

confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party before a determination by the Court.

12

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

13

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

14

10.

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

20

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

21

Order, 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

11.

INADVERTENT

PRODUCTION

OF

PRIVILEGED

OR

24

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

Procedure 26(b)(5)(B).

This provision is not intended to modify whatever

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

-10-

CASE NO. 2:23-cv-06802-GW-SKx

1

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

2

without prior privilege review. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 502(d) and

3

(e), insofar as the parties reach an agreement on the effect of disclosure of a

4

communication or information covered by the attorney-client privilege or work

5

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

6

protective order submitted to the Court.

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

to seek its modification by the Court in the future.

10

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

11

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

12

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

13

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

14

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

15

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

16

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

17

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

18

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

19

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

20

in the public record unless otherwise instructed by the court.

21

13.

FINAL DISPOSITION

22

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

23

(DURATION), within 60 days of a written request by the Designating Party, each

24

Receiving Party must return all Protected Material to the Producing Party or destroy

25

such material. As used in this subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes all

26

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

27

capturing any of the Protected Material. Whether the Protected Material is returned

28

or destroyed, the Receiving Party must submit a written certification to the

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

5

format reproducing or capturing any of the Protected Material. Notwithstanding

motion papers, trial, deposition, and hearing transcripts, legal memoranda,

8

correspondence, deposition and trial exhibits, expert reports, attorney work product,

9

and consultant and expert work product, even if such materials contain Protected

10

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

11

remain subject to this Protective Order as set forth in Section 4 (DURATION).

12

14.

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

13

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

14

sanctions.
