be entitled to protection from disclosure due to its confidential, sensitive, or proprietary

8

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

9

otherwise jeopardize its business interests in connection with its relationship with Apple

10

or another competitor of ATTM. “Highly Confidential—Attorneys’ Eyes Only

11

Information” does not include information that is publicly available at the time of its

13

take reasonable care to designate for protection only those parts of the Discovery

14

Materials that it reasonably believes to qualify for protection so that other portions of the

II.

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
shall be marked CONFIDENTIAL or HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL—ATTORNEYS’
EYES ONLY. Any page not so marked or identified shall not be subject to the terms of
this Protective Order that apply to such material.
14.

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

written notice to counsel for the Parties not later than thirty (30) days after receipt of a
deposition transcript, designate portions of deposition testimony or Documents marked as
exhibits to that deposition as Confidential Information or Highly Confidential—
Attorneys’ Eyes Only Information, based on a good-faith determination that the portions
of testimony or Documents so designated contain Confidential Information or Highly
Confidential—Attorneys’ Eyes Only Information. To the extent reasonably possible, any
portions so designated shall be transcribed separately and marked by the court reporter as
“CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL—ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.”
15.

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

Document or a transcript containing Confidential Information or Highly Confidential—
Attorneys’ Eyes Only Information to a third party who is not otherwise entitled to see
such information under the terms of this Protective Order, the Receiving Party shall first
5
Stipulated Protective Order Governing Production by Non-Party AT&T Mobility LLC
Case No. 3:10-cv-01610-RS

1

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

2

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

3

third party.

4

16.

The Designating Party must take care to limit any such designation

5

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

6

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

7

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

8

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

9

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

10

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

11

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

12

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

13

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

14

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

15

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

16

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

17

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

B.

Challenges to Designations of Confidential Information or
Highly Confidential—Attorneys’ Eyes Only Information
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.
6
Stipulated Protective Order Governing Production by Non-Party AT&T Mobility LLC
Case No. 3:10-cv-01610-RS

1

18.

The objection to the designation need not be any more specific

2

than the designation itself; that is, if the Designating Party designates a Document or

3

other material as Confidential Information or Highly Confidential—Attorneys’ Eyes

4

Only Information without explaining the factual or legal basis for that designation, the

5

Receiving Party’s objection need not provide the factual or legal basis for the objection.

6

Conversely, if the Designating Party provides a specific legal and/or factual basis for the

7

designation of a particular Document or set of Documents as Confidential Information or

8

Highly Confidential—Attorneys’ Eyes Only Information, the Receiving Party shall

9

provide a specific legal and/or factual basis for the objection(s) as well.

10

19.

The burden of establishing that a Document or other material is

11

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

12

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

13

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

14

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

15

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

16

20.

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

17

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

18

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

19

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

20

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

21

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

22

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

23

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

24

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

25

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

26

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

27

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

28

7
Stipulated Protective Order Governing Production by Non-Party AT&T Mobility LLC
Case No. 3:10-cv-01610-RS

1

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

2

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

3

is resolved by the Court.

4

21.

To maintain a designation of Confidential Information or Highly

5

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

6

of proving that the designated information satisfies the definitions of Confidential

7

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

8

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

9

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

10

Document contains Confidential Information or Highly Confidential—Attorneys’ Eyes

11

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

12

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

13

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

14

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

15

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

16

terms of this Protective Order and under applicable law.

17

22.

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

18

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

19

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

20

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

21

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

22

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

23

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

24

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

25

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

26

Protective Order and/or applicable law.
