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

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
899966.1

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
