Objections. With respect to Outside Consultants that have not been
2 previously disclosed to Non-Party QUALCOMM, Non-Party QUALCOMM shall
3 have five (5) business days, starting from the first business day following the date
4 upon which Receiving Party provides the notice and all information required by
5 paragraph 31 to the Producing Party, to object for good cause in writing to such
6 disclosure (plus three (3) extra days if notice is given in any manner other than by
7 hand delivery, e-mail delivery or facsimile transmission). After the expiration of the
8 5 business days (plus 3-days, if appropriate) period, if no objection for good cause
9 has been asserted by Non-Party QUALCOMM, then Designated QUALCOMM
10 Material may be disclosed to the Outside Consultant pursuant to the terms of this
11 Supplemental Protective Order. Any objection by Non-Party QUALCOMM must
12 be made for good cause, and must set forth in detail the grounds on which it is
13 based. Should Receiving Party disagree with the basis for the objection(s),
14 Receiving Party must first attempt to resolve the objection(s) informally with Non15 Party QUALCOMM. If the informal efforts do not resolve the dispute within five
16 (5) business days from the date upon which Receiving Party was first notified of any
17 objection for good cause by Non-Party QUALCOMM, Receiving Party may file a
18 motion requesting that the objection(s) be quashed after that five (5) day period has
19 passed. Non-Party Qualcomm shall have the burden of proof by a preponderance of
20 the evidence on the issue of the sufficiency of the objection(s). Pending a ruling by
21 the Court upon any such objection(s), or the subsequent resolution of the objection
22 for good cause by Receiving Party and Non-Party QUALCOMM, the discovery
23 material shall not be disclosed to the person objected to by Non-Party

Procedure for Designating Materials
11
34.
Subject to the limitations set forth in the Protective Order and in this
12 Supplemental Protective Order, any Party or Non-Party QUALCOMM may:
13 designate as “QUALCOMM – OUTSIDE ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” or
14 information that it believes, in good faith, meets the definition set forth in paragraph
15 2 above; and designate as “QUALCOMM – OUTSIDE ATTORNEYS’ EYES
16 ONLY – CONFIDENTIAL SOURCE CODE” information that it believes, in good
17 faith, meets the definition set forth in paragraph 5 above.
18
35.
Except as provided above in paragraph 33 with respect to
19 “QUALCOMM – OUTSIDE ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY – CONFIDENTIAL
20 SOURCE CODE” Material, any material, including (including physical objects)
21 made available by Non-Party QUALCOMM for initial inspection by counsel for the
22 Receiving Party prior to producing copies of selected items shall initially be
23 considered, as a whole, to constitute “QUALCOMM – OUTSIDE ATTORNEYS’
24 EYES ONLY” information, and shall be subject to this Order. Thereafter, Non25 Party QUALCOMM shall have seven (7) calendar days from the inspection to
26 review and designate the appropriate documents as “QUALCOMM – OUTSIDE
27 ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” prior to furnishing copies to the Receiving Party.

ORDER FOR NON-PARTY QUALCOMM;
CASE NO. SACV14-341 JVS (DFMx)
1
a.
Any disagreement with regard to designations of QUALCOMM
2
Material under this supplemental protective order shall be
3
governed by Article E of the protective order entered in the
4
above-captioned case on December 8, 2014, Dkt. No. 72.
5
36.
Designation in conformity with the Protective Order and this
6 Supplemental Protective Order shall be made as follows:
7
a.
For information in documentary (including “electronically stored
8
information”) form (apart from transcripts of depositions or other
9
pretrial or trial proceedings): the Designating Party shall affix
10
the legend “QUALCOMM – OUTSIDE ATTORNEYS’ EYES
11
ONLY” or “QUALCOMM – OUTSIDE ATTORNEYS’ EYES
12
ONLY – CONFIDENTIAL SOURCE CODE” conspicuously on
13
each page that contains Protected Material.
14
A party or non-party that makes original documents or
15
materials available for inspection need not designate them for
16
protection until after the Receiving Party has indicated which
17
material it would like copied or produced. Before and during the
18
inspection, all material made available for inspection shall be
19
deemed “QUALCOMM – OUTSIDE ATTORNEYS’ EYES
20
ONLY.” After the Receiving Party has identified the documents
21
it wants copied and produced, the Producing Party must
22
determine which documents, or portions thereof, qualify for
23
protection under this Order and, before producing the specified
24
documents, the Producing Party must affix the appropriate
25
legend to each page that contains Designated QUALCOMM
26
Material.
27
28
b.
For Testimony Given in Deposition: For deposition transcripts,
the Designating Party shall specify any portions of the testimony
-21-
[PROPOSED] SUPPLEMENTAL PROTECTIVE
ORDER FOR NON-PARTY QUALCOMM;
CASE NO. SACV14-341 JVS (DFMx)
1
that it wishes to designate, by line and page number, no later than
2
20 business days after the final transcript of the deposition has
3
been received. The Party or Non-Party may identify the entirety
4
of the transcript as “QUALCOMM – OUTSIDE ATTORNEYS’
5
EYES ONLY” or “QUALCOMM – OUTSIDE ATTORNEYS’
6
EYES ONLY – CONFIDENTIAL SOURCE CODE,” but all
7
deposition transcripts not designated during the deposition will
8
nonetheless be treated as “QUALCOMM – OUTSIDE
9
ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” or “QUALCOMM – OUTSIDE
10
ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY – CONFIDENTIAL SOURCE
11
CODE,” until the time within which it may be appropriately
12
designated as provided for herein has passed. Any Protected
13
Material that is used in the taking of a deposition shall remain
14
subject to the provisions of this Supplemental Protective Order
15
and the Protective Order in these actions, along with the
16
transcript pages of the deposition testimony dealing with such
17
Protected Material. In such cases the court reporter shall be
18
informed of this Supplemental Protective Order and shall be
19
required to operate in a manner consistent with this
20
Supplemental Protective Order. Transcript pages containing
21
Designated Material must be separately bound by the court
22
reporter, who must affix to the top of each such page the legend
23
“QUALCOMM – OUTSIDE ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY”

If a Receiving Party is served with a subpoena or a court order that
4 would compel disclosure of any information, documents or things designated in this
5 action as “QUALCOMM – OUTSIDE ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” or

14 Protective Order. In addition, the Receiving Party must provide a copy of this
15 Supplemental Protective Order and the Protective Order promptly to the party in the
