Before disclosing Confidential Information to any person who is, independent of

this litigation, a current director, officer, employee of, or counsel for a company other than
Defendants that is marketing or has in development any acetaminophen product, or a consultant,

4
other than an occasional consultant, who is currently consulting with respect to any
5
6

acetaminophen-containing product, the party wishing to make such disclosure shall give at least

7

ten (10) days advance notice in writing to the counsel who designated such information as

8

confidential, stating the names and addresses of the person(s) to whom the disclosure will be

9

made. If, within the ten-day period, a motion is filed objecting to the proposed disclosure, the

10
11

designated document or item shall not be disclosed unless and until ten days have elapsed after
the appeal period from a Court order denying the motion. Alternatively, the party wishing to

12
13
14

make such disclosure may provide the counsel who designated such information as confidential
with information concerning the proposed recipient that does not identify the proposed recipient

15

but is sufficient to permit an informed decision to be made with respect to any potential objection.

16

If there is no consent to the disclosure within ten (10) days, the party wishing to make the

17

disclosure may submit the information to the Court for a determination of whether the disclosure

18

may be made. The objecting party will have opportunities to (1) request that the Court direct the

19
party wishing to make disclosure to produce additional information about the proposed recipient
20
21

and/or (2) submit such papers and argument as it may feel necessary to allow the Court to make

22

an informed decision. Because only the party seeking to make the disclosure may know who the

23

proposed recipient is, it is the responsibility of the party seeking to make the disclosure to

24

determine prior to making any disclosure whether the proposed recipient is a person described in

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to restrict in any manner any Party’s use

Nothing herein shall affect the right of any Party to seek additional protection

against the disclosure of any documents or materials.
Protection of Confidential Information
22.

Counsel shall take all reasonable and necessary steps to assure the security of any

13
14
15

Confidential Information and will limit access to Confidential Information to those persons
authorized by this Order. In addition, any summary or copy of information shall be subject to the

terms of this Order to the same extent as the information or document of which such summary or

17

copy is made, and must be clearly labeled “Confidential Information – Subject to Protective

18

If Confidential Information in the possession of a Receiving Party is subpoenaed

have authority to subpoena such data or information, the party to whom the subpoena is directed

or information without first waiting ten (10) business days after notifying (and confirming

If a Receiving Party learns of any unauthorized disclosure of Confidential

prevent disclosure by each unauthorized person who received such information and to recover the

In the event a Supplying Party discovers after the production of any documents,

13
14

materials, or information that it inadvertently produced or provided discovery of any Confidential
Information without redacting, marking, or identifying it as confidential, the Supplying Party may

15

provide written notice to the Receiving Party that the document, thing or other information,

16

response, or testimony is Confidential Information and should be treated as such in accordance

17

with the provisions of this Order. Upon receipt of such notice, the Receiving Party must treat such

18

documents, things, information, responses, and testimony as Confidential Information, and upon

19
receipt of properly marked documents, shall return the unmarked documents and things and shall
20

not retain same, and shall take reasonable steps to ensure others have not retained copies thereof.

22

The disclosure of information or documents to any person not qualified to receive

23

such information or documents pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Order, or without

24

following the terms and conditions of the Order, may subject the person making such disclosure

to a finding of contempt and the imposition of sanctions, costs or other penalty, as ordered by the

The inadvertent production by any Party, whether in this Action or in any other

proceedings, of a document subject to a claim of privilege, work product, or other statutory or
court-ordered confidentiality shall not result in a waiver of any of the foregoing protections in this

4
Action for the produced document or for any other privileged or immune documents containing
5

the same or similar subject matter. Furthermore, irrespective of what may have already occurred

7

or what may occur in the future in productions made during other proceedings, the fact of an

8

inadvertent production by a party in this Action shall not be used as a basis for arguing that a

9

claim of privilege, work product, or other statutory or court-ordered confidentiality has been

10
11

waived in such other proceedings. If any party should inadvertently produce a document, upon
notice of such disclosure, all originals and copies thereof, as well as all notes or other work

12
13
14

product reflecting the contents of such materials, shall be immediately returned to the Supplying
Party, and such returned material shall be deleted from any litigation support or other database. If

15

the Receiving Party wants to challenge the claim of privilege, work product, or other statutory or

16

court-ordered confidentiality, it must also promptly present the information in dispute to the court

17

under seal for a determination of the claim. The Supplying Party must preserve the information

18

until the claim is resolved. If the Receiving Party does present the information in dispute to the

19
court and its motion/challenge is denied, then the Receiving Party shall promptly comply with the
20

provisions regarding the return of documents and materials derived from the privileged

22

documents.

Nothing herein shall prevent disclosure beyond the terms of this Order if the Party

Any party may object to the propriety of the designation (or redesignation) of

Party’s counsel. The Supplying Party or its counsel shall thereafter, within ten (10) calendar days,

subsequently unable to agree upon the terms and conditions of disclosure for the material(s) in

23

issue, the document will have its designation removed unless within thirty (30) days after written

24

notice that the parties’ negotiations are ended, the Supplying Party moves the Court for an order

upholding the designation. On such motion, the Supplying Party shall have the burden of proving

that the material is Confidential Information. The material(s) in issue shall continue to be treated
