20

Components Thereof, Case No. ITC Inv. No. 337-TA-641. (Doc. 258)

In the stipulation, the parties agree that any discovery produced in the ITC investigation by GE,

22

Mr. Wilkins or Mitsubishi, may be used in this litigation as if it were produced in this litigation. (Doc.

documents may be used in discovery but no party waives any objections to the admissibility of the

26

documents. Id. The parties agree that the ITC documents marked as “Confidential Business

27

Information,” will be marked as “Highly Confidential - Attorneys’ Eyes Only” as set forth in the

28

protective order signed by this Court on July 15, 2011 (Doc. 236). Id.
