shall mean and include Documents, expert reports, briefs, memoranda, any other writings

17

submitted to or otherwise supplied to the Court; and such other materials and information

18

as may be produced or disclosed during the course of discovery in this litigation. The

20

limitation, electronically stored information, and any compilations of data from which

21

information can be obtained and/or translated through detection or recovery devices into

competitive disadvantage vis-a-vis Apple or another competitor of ATTM, or would

DESIGNATION OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
A.

Designation of Confidential Information and Highly
Confidential—Attorneys’ Eyes Only Information
12.

Discovery Materials that the Designating Party deems to be

Confidential Information or Highly Confidential—Attorneys’ Eyes Only Information
must be designated on such by stamping the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY
CONFIDENTIAL—ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” in a conspicuous location on each
page of each Document that contains Confidential Information or Highly Confidential—
Attorneys’ Eyes Only Information.
13.

In the case of multi-page Documents, only those pages containing

Confidential Information or Highly Confidential—Attorneys’ Eyes Only Information
5
Stipulated Protective Order Governing Production by Non-Party AT&T Mobility LLC
Case Nos. 3:10-cv-01610-RS, 3:10-cv-03316-RS, 3:10-cv-05895-RS

1

shall be marked CONFIDENTIAL or HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL—ATTORNEYS’

2

EYES ONLY. Any page not so marked or identified shall not be subject to the terms of

3

this Protective Order that apply to such material.

4

14.

The Designating Party may, on the record of a deposition, or by

5

written notice to counsel for the Parties not later than thirty (30) days after receipt of a

6

deposition transcript, designate portions of deposition testimony or Documents marked as

7

exhibits to that deposition as Confidential Information or Highly Confidential—

8

Attorneys’ Eyes Only Information, based on a good-faith determination that the portions

9

of testimony or Documents so designated contain Confidential Information or Highly

10

Confidential—Attorneys’ Eyes Only Information. To the extent reasonably possible, any

11

portions so designated shall be transcribed separately and marked by the court reporter as

12

“CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL—ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.”

13

15.

If a Receiving Party wishes to show non-designated portions of a

14

Document or a transcript containing Confidential Information or Highly Confidential—

15

Attorneys’ Eyes Only Information to a third party who is not otherwise entitled to see

16

such information under the terms of this Protective Order, the Receiving Party shall first

17

redact all pages marked as containing Confidential Information or Highly Confidential—

18

Attorneys’ Eyes Only Information before disclosing the Document(s) in question to the

19

third party.

20

16.

The Designating Party must take care to limit any such designation

21

to specific material that qualifies under the appropriate standards. The Designating Party

22

must take reasonable care to designate for protection only those parts of material,

23

documents, items, or oral or written communications that the party reasonably believes to

24

qualify for protection — so that other portions of the material, documents, items, or

25

communications for which protection is not warranted are not swept unjustifiably within

26

the ambit of this Order. Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited.

27

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

28

Case Nos. 3:10-cv-01610-RS, 3:10-cv-03316-RS, 3:10-cv-05895-RS

1

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

2

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

3

designating party to sanctions. If it comes to the Designating Party’s attention that

4

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

5

or do not qualify for the level of protection initially asserted, the Designating Party must

6

promptly notify the Parties that it is withdrawing the mistaken designation.

17.

If a Receiving Party disagrees with the designation of any

Document or any portion of a Document as Confidential Information or Highly
Confidential—Attorneys’ Eyes Only Information, the Receiving Party shall provide
counsel for the Designating Party with written notice of that objection. If the designation
of Confidential Information or Highly Confidential—Attorneys’ Eyes Only Information
is made during a deposition, the Receiving Party shall provide counsel for the
Designating Party with notice of the objection orally on the record or within thirty (30)
days after receipt of the deposition transcript.
18.

The objection to the designation need not be any more specific

than the designation itself; that is, if the Designating Party designates a Document or
other material as Confidential Information or Highly Confidential—Attorneys’ Eyes
Only Information without explaining the factual or legal basis for that designation, the
Receiving Party’s objection need not provide the factual or legal basis for the objection.
Conversely, if the Designating Party provides a specific legal and/or factual basis for the
designation of a particular Document or set of Documents as Confidential Information or
Highly Confidential—Attorneys’ Eyes Only Information, the Receiving Party shall
provide a specific legal and/or factual basis for the objection(s) as well.
19.

The burden of establishing that a Document or other material is

entitled to protection as Confidential Information or Highly Confidential—Attorneys’

Case Nos. 3:10-cv-01610-RS, 3:10-cv-03316-RS, 3:10-cv-05895-RS

1

Eyes Only Information under applicable law shall remain with the Designating Party,

2

and, until the Designating Party carries that burden, it shall not be incumbent upon the

3

Receiving Party to establish the validity of its objection(s) to the designation as

4

Confidential Information or Highly Confidential—Attorneys’ Eyes Only Information.

5

20.

In the event the Receiving Party objects to the designation of a

6

Document(s) or any portion(s) thereof as Confidential Information or Highly

7

Confidential—Attorneys’ Eyes Only Information, the parties shall attempt to resolve the

8

dispute in good faith on an expedited and informal basis. If those efforts do not result in

9

the resolution of the dispute within ten (10) days of the objection, the Designating Party

10

may move the Court for an order upholding its designations of Confidential Information

11

or Highly Confidential—Attorneys’ Eyes Only Information. If the Designating Party

12

does not file such a motion within ten (10) business days after the 10-day informal

13

resolution period has expired, the Document(s) or portions of a Document(s) that are the

14

subject of the dispute will not be entitled to treatment as Confidential Information or

15

Highly Confidential—Attorneys’ Eyes Only Information. If the Designating Party files

16

the motion within ten (10) business days after the 10-day informal resolution period has

17

expired, the parties will continue to treat the challenged Document(s) as Confidential

18

Information or Highly Confidential—Attorneys’ Eyes Only Information until the matter

19

is resolved by the Court.

20

21.

To maintain a designation of Confidential Information or Highly

21

Confidential—Attorneys’ Eyes Only Information, the Designating Party bears the burden

22

of proving that the designated information satisfies the definitions of Confidential

23

Information or Highly Confidential—Attorneys’ Eyes Only Information set forth above.

24

Nothing in this Protective Order, or the fact that the parties have entered into this

25

Protective Order, is intended to diminish the Designating Party’s burden of proving that a

26

Document contains Confidential Information or Highly Confidential—Attorneys’ Eyes

27

Only Information. Similarly, nothing in this Protective Order, nor the fact that the parties

28

8
Stipulated Protective Order Governing Production by Non-Party AT&T Mobility LLC
Case Nos. 3:10-cv-01610-RS, 3:10-cv-03316-RS, 3:10-cv-05895-RS

1

have entered into it, is intended to diminish or in any way alter the showing that must be

2

made under applicable law to establish that a Document(s) or any portion thereof that is

3

designated as Confidential Information or Highly Confidential—Attorneys’ Eyes Only

4

Information is actually entitled to the protection such materials are provided under the

5

terms of this Protective Order and under applicable law.

6

22.

A Receiving Party shall not be obligated to object to or otherwise

7

challenge the propriety of the designation of a Document(s) or any portion thereof as

8

Confidential Information or Highly Confidential—Attorneys’ Eyes Only Information at

9

the time of production, and in no event shall not doing so preclude or in any way inhibit a

10

subsequent objection or other challenge to the designation(s). Similarly, the absence of

11

an objection or other challenge to the designation of a Document or any portion thereof

12

as Confidential Information or Highly Confidential—Attorneys’ Eyes Only Information

13

shall not be deemed or construed as a concession by the Receiving Party that the material

14

is entitled to protection from public distribution or disclosure under the terms of this

15

Protective Order and/or applicable law.

Counsel disclosing Confidential Information to persons pursuant to

Court. Such a motion may be heard on shortened notice.

“Highly Confidential—Attorneys’ Eyes Only Information” to
Independent Experts

3

31.

1

D.

The parties have agreed to table, for future negotiation and

4

agreement or resolution by the Court, the procedure for disclosure of “Confidential

5

Information” and “Highly Confidential—Attorneys’ Eyes Only Information” to

6

Independent Experts. Until such time as the parties reach an agreement or the Court

7

issues an order specifying the procedure for disclosure of “Confidential Information” and

8

“Highly Confidential—Attorneys’ Eyes Only Information” to Independent Experts,

9

plaintiffs agree they will not disclose any “Confidential Information” or “Highly

10

Confidential—Attorneys’ Eyes Only Information” to any Independent Expert.
32.

11

Nothing in this Stipulated Protective Order shall be construed to

12

require the disclosure of the identity of an Independent Eхреrt to any Party before such

13

disclosure is required by Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(a)(2).

14

E.

15

Use By Producing Party оf its Own Protected Material
33.

Nothing contained in this Protective Order shall affect the

16

Designating Party’s right to disclose to anyone its own Protected Material. However, in

17

the event the Designating Party treats its own Protected Material in a manner that is

18

inconsistent with its status as such (e.g., disclosing Protected Material to the public), the

19

content of the Document(s) in question shall lose its status as Protected Material.

20
21

F.

Filing Protected Material with the Court
34.

Without written permission from the Designating Party or a court

22

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

23

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

24

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

25

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

26

Protected Material at issue. Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 79-5, a sealing order will issue

27

only upon a request establishing that the Protected Material at issue is privileged,

protectable as a trade secret, or otherwise entitled to protection under the law. If a

2

Receiving Party’s request to file Protected Material under seal pursuant to Civil Local

3

Rule 79-5(d) is denied by the court, then the Receiving Party may file the information in

4

the public record pursuant to Civil Local Rule 79-5(e) unless otherwise instructed by the

5

court.

Inadvertent Disclosure of Protected Material
35.

If the Designating Party, through inadvertence, fails to designate

8

any Document as Confidential Information or Highly Confidential—Attorneys’ Eyes

9

Only Information in accordance with the provisions of this Protective Order

10

(“Incorrectly-Labeled Document”), the Designating Party may give written notice to the

11

other parties that the Incorrectly-Labeled Document(s) should have been designated as

12

Confidential Information or Highly Confidential—Attorneys’ Eyes Only Information and

13

should be treated as such in accordance with the provisions of this Protective Order.

14

Parties must treat Incorrectly-Labeled Document(s) as Confidential Information or

15

Highly Confidential—Attorneys’ Eyes Only Information from the date such notice is

16

received.

17

36.

Within a reasonable time after receipt of written notice from the

18

Designating Party as described in paragraph 35, above, the Receiving Party shall make a

19

good-faith effort to provide any third parties to whom the Incorrectly-Labeled

20

Document(s) were disclosed with written notice that identifies the Incorrectly-Labeled

21

Document(s); states that the Designating Party has asserted that they contain Confidential

22

Information or Highly Confidential—Attorneys’ Eyes Only Information; and requests

23

that the Incorrectly-Labeled Document(s) be returned and that they not be further

24

distributed or disclosed to the public. This requirement shall not apply to third parties

25

identified in paragraphs 23(a)-23(e) and/or 27(a)-27(d), above.

26
27
28

37.

In no event shall the Receiving Party be under any obligation to

ensure that third parties comply with the Designating Party’s request.
