PROTECTIVE ORDER

2

This Protective Order is issued to facilitate document disclosure and production

3

under the Local Rules of this Court and the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Unless

4

modified pursuant to the terms of this Order or by further Order of the Court, this

5

Order shall remain in effect both through and after this conclusion of this litigation.

6

The Plaintiff IP Power Holdings Limited Ltd (“Plaintiff”) herein anticipates that

7

documents, testimony, and information containing or reflecting confidential,

8

proprietary, trade secret, or commercially sensitive information are likely to be

9

disclosed in this litigation, and request that the Court enter this Order setting forth the

10

conditions for the disclosures, treatment, and use of such information. Therefore,

11

pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(c), the Court finds good cause for and

12

enters this Protective Order (“Order”).

13

1.

14

Disclosure and discovery activity in this action are likely to involve production

PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS

15

of confidential, proprietary, or private information for which special protection from

16

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

17

would be warranted. Accordingly, the Plaintiff hereby to and petitions the Court to

18

enter the following Protective Order. The Plaintiff acknowledges that this Order does

19

not confer blanket protections on all disclosures or responses to discovery and that the

20

protection it affords extends only to the limited information or items that are entitled

21

under the applicable legal principles to treatment as confidential. The Plaintiff further

22

acknowledges, as set forth in Section 10, below, that this Protective Order creates no

23

entitlement to file confidential information under seal; Central District Civil Local

24

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

25

that will be applied when a party seeks permission from the Court to file material

26

under seal.

DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL

25

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

26

Each Party or non-party that designates information or items for protection under this

27

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

28

under the appropriate standards. A Designating Party must take care to designate for
899966.1

4
Case No. SACV 11-1234-JVS (JPRx)

AMENDED [PROPOSED] PROTECTIVE ORDER

1

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

2

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

3

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

4

unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order.

5

Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited.

6

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

7

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

8

process, or to impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties), expose the

9

Designating Party to sanctions.

10

If it comes to a Party’s or a non-party’s attention that information or

11

items that it designated for protection do not qualify for protection at all, or do not

12

qualify for the level of protection initially asserted, that Party or non-party must

13

promptly notify all other parties that it is withdrawing the mistaken designation.

14

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

15

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

16

ordered, material that qualifies for protection under this Order must be clearly so

17

designated before the material is disclosed or produced.

18

Designation in conformity with this Order requires:

19

(a) for information in documentary form (apart from transcripts of

20

depositions or other pretrial or trial proceedings), that the Producing Party affix the

21

legend “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES

22

ONLY” at the top of each page that contains protected material. If only a portion or

23

portions of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also

24

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

25

the margins) and must specify, for each portion, the level of protection being asserted

26

(either “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES

27

ONLY”).

28

///
899966.1

5
Case No. SACV 11-1234-JVS (JPRx)

AMENDED [PROPOSED] PROTECTIVE ORDER

1

A Party or non-party that makes original documents or materials

2

available for inspection need not designate them for protection until after the

3

inspecting Party has indicated which material it would like copied and produced.

4

During the inspection and before the designation, all of the material made available

5

for inspection shall be deemed “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL –ATTORNEYS’ EYES

6

ONLY.” After the inspecting Party has identified the documents it wants copied and

7

produced, the Producing Party must determine which documents, or portions thereof,

8

qualify for protection under this Order, then, before producing the specified

9

documents, the Producing Party must affix the appropriate legend

10

(“CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES

11

ONLY”) at the top of each page that contains Protected Material. If only a portion or

12

portions of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also

13

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

14

the margins) and must specify, for each portion, the level of protection being asserted

15

(either “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES

16

ONLY”).

17

(b) for testimony given in discovery proceedings, that the Party or

18

non-party offering or sponsoring the testimony identify on the record, before the close

19

of the deposition, hearing, or other proceeding, all protected testimony, and further

20

specify any portions of the testimony that qualify as “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL –

21

ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.” When it is impractical to identify separately each

22

portion of testimony that is entitled to protection, and when it appears that substantial

23

portions of the testimony may qualify for protection, the Party or non-party that

24

sponsors, offers, or gives the testimony may invoke on the record (before the

25

deposition or proceeding is concluded) a right to have up to 25 days after the reporter's

26

preparation of the transcript to identify the specific portions of the testimony as to

27

which protection is sought and to specify the level of protection being asserted

28

(“CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES
899966.1

6
Case No. SACV 11-1234-JVS (JPRx)

AMENDED [PROPOSED] PROTECTIVE ORDER

1

ONLY”). Only those portions of the testimony that are appropriately designated for

2

protection within those 25 days shall be covered by the provisions of this Protective

3

Order.

4

Transcript pages containing Protected Material must be separately

5

bound by the court reporter, who must affix to the top of the first page the legend

6

“CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES

7

ONLY,” as instructed by the Party or non-party offering or sponsoring the witness or

8

presenting the testimony.

9

Testimony provided at pretrial or trial proceedings will be taken up

10

with the presiding judicial officer at the appropriate time how confidential materials

11

will be handled in those proceedings. This protective order will only apply to

12

discovery proceedings.

13

(c) for information produced in some form other than

14

documentary, and for any other tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a

15

prominent place on the exterior of the container or containers in which the information

16

or item is stored the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL –

17

ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.” If only portions of the information or item warrant

18

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

19

portions, specifying whether they qualify as “Confidential” or as “Highly Confidential

20

– Attorneys’ Eyes Only.”

21

5.3 Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent

22

failure to designate qualified information or items as “Confidential” or “Highly

23

Confidential – Attorneys’ Eyes Only” does not, standing alone, waive the Designating

24

Party’s right to secure protection under this Order for such material. If material is

25

appropriately designated as “Confidential” or “Highly Confidential – Attorneys’ Eyes

26

Only” after the material was initially produced, the Receiving Party, on timely

27

notification of the designation, must make reasonable efforts to assure that the

28

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

CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS
6.1

Timing of Challenges. Unless a prompt challenge to a

3

Designating Party’s confidentiality designation is necessary to avoid foreseeable

4

substantial unfairness, unnecessary economic burdens, or a later significant disruption

5

or delay of the litigation, a Party does not waive its right to challenge a confidentiality

6

designation by electing not to mount a challenge promptly after the original

7

designation is disclosed.

8
9

6.2

Meet and Confer. A Party that elects to initiate a challenge to a

Designating Party’s confidentiality designation must do so in good faith and must

10

begin the process by conferring with counsel for the Designating Party regarding each

11

disputed designation. In conferring, the challenging Party must explain the basis for

12

its belief that the confidentiality designation was not proper and must give the

13

Designating Party an opportunity to review the designated material, to reconsider the

14

circumstances, and if no change in designation is offered, to explain the basis for the

15

chosen designation. A challenging Party may proceed to the next stage of the

16

challenge process only if it has first engaged in this meet and confer process, which

17

may initially involve written communication, but must, before proceeding to the next

18

stage of the challenge process, involve some form of direct voice-to-voice dialogue

19

either in person or over the telephone. The parties must comply with Local Rule 37

20

before filing any discovery motion, to the extent possible, under this section.

21

6.3

Judicial Intervention. A Party that elects to press a challenge to a

22

confidentiality designation after considering the justification offered by the

23

Designating Party may file and serve a motion in accordance with the appropriate

24

local rules that identifies the challenged material and sets forth in detail the basis for

25

the challenge. Each such motion must be accompanied by a competent declaration

26

that affirms that the movant has complied with the meet and confer requirements

27

imposed in paragraph 6.2 hereof and that sets forth with specificity the justification for

28

AMENDED [PROPOSED] PROTECTIVE ORDER

1

the confidentiality designation that was given by the Designating Party in the meet

2

and confer process.

3

The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on

4

the Designating Party. Until the court rules on the challenge, all parties shall continue

5

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

6

the Producing Party’s designation. The parties must comply with Local Rule 37 before

7

filing any discovery motion, to the extent possible, under this section.

8

7.

9

ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
7.1

Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material

10

that is disclosed or produced by another Party or by a non-party in connection with

11

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

12

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

13

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

14

Receiving Party must comply with the provisions of section 11, below (FINAL

15

DISPOSITION).

16

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

17

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

18

authorized under this Order.

19

7.2

Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items. Unless

20

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

21

Receiving Party may disclose any information or item designated CONFIDENTIAL

22

only to:

24

as well as employees of said Counsel to whom it is reasonably necessary to disclose

Procedures for Approving Disclosure of “HIGHLY

CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” Information or Items to “Experts”

13

(a) Unless otherwise ordered by the Court or agreed in writing by

14

the Designating Party, a Party that seeks to disclose to an “Expert” (as defined in this

15

Order) any information or item that has been designated “HIGHLY

16

CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” first must make a written request

17

to the Designating Party that (1) identifies the specific HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL –

18

ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” information that the Receiving Party seeks permission

19

to disclose to the Expert, (2) sets forth the full name of the Expert and the city and

20

state of his or her primary residence, (3) attaches a copy of the Expert’s current

21

resume, (4) identifies the Expert’s current employer(s), (5) identifies each person or

22

entity from whom the Expert has received compensation for work in his or her areas

23

of expertise or to whom the expert has provided professional services at any time

24

during the preceding five years, and (6) identifies (by name and number of the case,

25

filing date, and location of court) any litigation in connection with which the Expert

26

has provided any professional services during the preceding five years.

27

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Party that seeks to make such a disclosure to an

28
899966.1

11
Case No. SACV 11-1234-JVS (JPRx)

AMENDED [PROPOSED] PROTECTIVE ORDER

1

Expert that is an attorney shall not be required to comply with the foregoing

2

requirements (5) and (6) of this paragraph.

3

(b) A Party that makes a request and provides the information

4

specified in the preceding paragraph may disclose the subject Protected Material to the

5

identified Expert unless, within seven court days of delivering the request, the Party

6

receives a written objection from the Designating Party. Any such objection must set

7

forth in detail the grounds on which it is based.

8

(c) A Party that receives a timely written objection must meet and

9

confer with the Designating Party (through direct voice-to-voice dialogue) to try to

10

resolve the matter by agreement. If no agreement is reached, the Party seeking to

11

make the disclosure to the Expert may file a motion in accordance with the

12

appropriate local rules seeking permission from the Court to do so. Any such motion

13

must describe the circumstances with specificity, set forth in detail the reasons for

14

which the disclosure to the Expert is reasonably necessary, assess the risk of harm that

15

the disclosure would entail and suggest any additional means that might be used to

16

reduce that risk. In addition, any such motion must be accompanied by a competent

17

declaration in which the movant describes the parties’ efforts to resolve the matter by

18

agreement (i.e., the extent and the content of the meet and confer discussions) and sets

19

forth the reasons advanced by the Designating Party for its refusal to approve the

20

disclosure. The parties must comply with Local Rule 37 before filing any discovery

21

motion, to the extent possible, under this section.

22

In any such proceeding the Party opposing disclosure to the Expert

23

shall bear the burden of proving that the risk of harm that the disclosure would entail

24

(under the safeguards proposed) outweighs the Receiving Party’s need to disclose the

25

Protected Material to its Expert.

PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED

2

PRODUCED IN OTHER LITIGATION.

3

If a Receiving Party is served with a subpoena or an order issued in other

4

litigation that would compel disclosure of any information or items designated in this

5

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

6

EYES ONLY,” the Receiving Party must so notify the Designating Party, in writing

7

(by fax, if possible) immediately in no event more than three court days after

8

receiving the subpoena or order. Such notification must include a copy of the

9

subpoena or court order.

10

The Receiving Party also must immediately inform in writing the Party

11

who caused the subpoena or order to issue in the other litigation that some or all the

12

material covered by the subpoena or order is the subject of this Protective Order. In

13

addition, the Receiving Party must deliver a copy of this Protective Order promptly to

14

the Party in the other action that caused the subpoena or order to issue.

15

The purpose of imposing these duties is to alert the interested parties to

16

the existence of this Protective Order and to afford the Designating Party in this case

17

an opportunity to try to protect its confidentiality interests in the court from which the

18

subpoena or order issued. The Designating Party shall bear the burdens and the

19

expenses of seeking protection in that court of its confidential material – and nothing

20

in these provisions should be construed as authorizing or encouraging a Receiving

21

Party in this action to disobey a lawful directive from another court.

23

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

UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL

24

Protected Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized under this

25

Protective Order, the Receiving Party must immediately (a) notify in writing the

26

Designating Party of the unauthorized disclosures, (b) use its best efforts to retrieve all

27

copies of the Protected Material, (c) inform the person or persons to whom

28

unauthorized disclosures were made of all the terms of this Order, and (d) request

FILING PROTECTED MATERIAL.

4

Without written permission from the Designating Party or a court order secured

5

after appropriate notice to all interested persons, a Party may not file in the public

6

record in this action any Protected Material. A Party that seeks to file under seal any

7

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

8

11.

9

Unless otherwise ordered or agreed in writing by the Producing Party, within

FINAL DISPOSITION.

10

sixty days after the final termination of this action, each Receiving Party must return

11

all Protected Material to the Producing Party. As used in this subdivision, “all

12

Protected Material” includes all copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries or any

13

other form of reproducing or capturing any of the Protected Material. With

14

permission in writing from the Designating Party, the Receiving Party may destroy

15

some or all of the Protected Material instead of returning it. Whether the Protected

16

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

17

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

18

Designating Party) by the sixty-day deadline that identifies (by category, where

19

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

20
