STIPULATION FOR PROTECTIVE ORDER
AND (Proposed) ORDER
PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS
25

Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to and petition the court to enter the following Stipulated

22
copies, excerpts, summaries, or compilations of Protected Material; and (3) any testimony,

STIPULATION FOR PROTECTIVE ORDER AND ORDER
CASE NO. C12-04601 EMC
1
record through trial or otherwise; and (b) any information known to the Receiving Party prior to the
2
disclosure or obtained by the Receiving Party after the disclosure from a source who obtained the
3
information lawfully and under no obligation of confidentiality to the Designating Party. Any use
4
of Protected Material at trial shall be governed by a separate agreement or order.
5
4.
DURATION
6
Even after final disposition of this litigation, the confidentiality obligations imposed by this
7
Order shall remain in effect until a Designating Party agrees otherwise in writing or a court order
8
otherwise directs. Final disposition shall be deemed to be the later of (1) dismissal of all claims
9
and defenses in this action, with or without prejudice; and (2) final judgment herein after the
10
completion and exhaustion of all appeals, rehearings, remands, trials, or reviews of this action,
11
including the time limits for filing any motions or applications for extension of time pursuant to
12
applicable law.
13
5.
14
DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL
5.1
Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection. Each Party
15
or Non-Party that designates information or items for protection under this Order must take care to
16
limit any such designation to specific material that qualifies under the appropriate standards. The
17
Designating Party must designate for protection only those parts of material, documents, items, or
18
oral or written communications that qualify – so that other portions of the material, documents,
19
items, or communications for which protection is not warranted are not swept unjustifiably within
20
the ambit of this Order.
21
Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited.
Designations that are
22
shown to be clearly unjustified or that have been made for an improper purpose (e.g., to
23
unnecessarily encumber or retard the case development process or to impose unnecessary expenses
24
and burdens on other parties) expose the Designating Party to sanctions.
25
If it comes to a Designating Party’s attention that information or items that it designated for
26
protection do not qualify for protection, that Designating Party must promptly notify all other
27
Parties that it is withdrawing the mistaken designation.
28

STIPULATION FOR PROTECTIVE ORDER AND ORDER

1
5.2
Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in this Order
2
(see, e.g., second paragraph of section 5.2(a) below), or as otherwise stipulated or ordered,
3
Disclosure or Discovery Material that qualifies for protection under this Order must be clearly so
4
designated before the material is disclosed or produced.
5
6
Designation in conformity with this Order requires:
(a)
for information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic documents,
7
but excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial proceedings), that the Producing
8
Party affix the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” to each page that contains protected material. If only a
9
portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must
10
clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins).
11
A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents or materials available for inspection
12
need not designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has indicated which material
13
it would like copied and produced. During the inspection and before the designation, all of the
14
material made available for inspection shall be deemed “CONFIDENTIAL.” After the inspecting
15
Party has identified the documents it wants copied and produced, the Producing Party must
16
determine which documents, or portions thereof, qualify for protection under this Order. Then,
17
before producing the specified documents, the Producing Party must affix the “CONFIDENTIAL”
18
legend to each page that contains Protected Material. If only a portion or portions of the material
19
on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected
20
portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins).
21
(b)
for testimony given in deposition or in other pretrial or trial proceedings, that
22
the Designating Party identify on the record, before the close of the deposition, hearing, or other
23
proceeding, all protected testimony.
24
(c)
for information produced in some form other than documentary and for any
25
other tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on the exterior of the
26
container or containers in which the information or item is stored the legend “CONFIDENTIAL.”
27
28

5
STIPULATION FOR PROTECTIVE ORDER AND ORDER
CASE NO. C12-04601 EMC
1
If only a portion or portions of the information or item warrant protection, the Producing Party, to
2
the extent practicable, shall identify the protected portion(s).
3
5.3
Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent failure to
4
designate qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive the Designating Party’s
5
right to secure protection under this Order for such material.
6
designation, the Receiving Party must make reasonable efforts to assure that the material is treated
7
in accordance with the provisions of this Order.

Upon timely correction of a
CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS
6.1
Timing of Challenges. Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a designation of
10
confidentiality at any time. Unless a prompt challenge to a Designating Party’s confidentiality
11
designation is necessary to avoid foreseeable, substantial unfairness, unnecessary economic
12
burdens, or a significant disruption or delay of the litigation, a Party does not waive its right to
13
challenge a confidentiality designation by electing not to mount a challenge promptly after the
14
original designation is disclosed.
15
6.2
Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute resolution process
16
by providing written notice of each designation it is challenging and describing the basis for each
17
challenge. To avoid ambiguity as to whether a challenge has been made, the written notice must
18
recite that the challenge to confidentiality is being made in accordance with this specific paragraph
19
of the Protective Order. The parties shall attempt to resolve each challenge in good faith and must
20
begin the process by conferring directly (in voice to voice dialogue; other forms of communication
21
are not sufficient) within 14 days of the date of service of notice. In conferring, the Challenging
22
Party must explain the basis for its belief that the confidentiality designation was not proper and
23
must give the Designating Party an opportunity to review the designated material, to reconsider the
24
circumstances, and, if no change in designation is offered, to explain the basis for the chosen
25
designation. A Challenging Party may proceed to the next stage of the challenge process only if it
26
has engaged in this meet and confer process first or establishes that the Designating Party is
27
unwilling to participate in the meet and confer process in a timely manner.

STIPULATION FOR PROTECTIVE ORDER AND ORDER
CASE NO. C12-04601 EMC
1
6.3
Judicial Intervention.
If the Parties cannot resolve a challenge without court
2
intervention, the Designating Party shall file and serve a motion to retain confidentiality under
3
Civil Local Rule 7 (and in compliance with Civil Local Rule 79-5 and General Order 62, if
4
applicable) within 21 days of the initial notice of challenge or within 14 days of the parties
5
agreeing that the meet and confer process will not resolve their dispute, whichever is earlier. Each
6
such motion must be accompanied by a competent declaration affirming that the movant has
7
complied with the meet and confer requirements imposed in the preceding paragraph. Failure by
8
the Designating Party to make such a motion including the required declaration within 21 days (or
9
14 days, if applicable) shall automatically waive the confidentiality designation for each challenged
10
designation. In addition, the Challenging Party may file a motion challenging a confidentiality
11
designation at any time if there is good cause for doing so, including a challenge to the designation
12
of a deposition transcript or any portions thereof. Any motion brought pursuant to this provision
13
must be accompanied by a competent declaration affirming that the movant has complied with the
14
meet and confer requirements imposed by the preceding paragraph.
15
The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on the Designating
16
Party. Frivolous challenges, and those made for an improper purpose (e.g., to harass or impose
17
unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the Challenging Party to sanctions.
18
Unless the Designating Party has waived the confidentiality designation by failing to file a motion
19
to retain confidentiality as described above, all parties shall continue to afford the material in
20
question the level of protection to which it is entitled under the Producing Party’s designation until
21
the court rules on the challenge.
22
7.
23
ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
7.1
Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is disclosed or
24
produced by another Party or by a Non-Party in connection with this case only for prosecuting,
25
defending, or attempting to settle this litigation. Such Protected Material may be disclosed only to
26
the categories of persons and under the conditions described in this Order. When the litigation has
27
28
__________________________________________________________________________________
7
STIPULATION FOR PROTECTIVE ORDER AND ORDER
CASE NO. C12-04601 EMC
1
been terminated, a Receiving Party must comply with the provisions of section 13 below (FINAL
2
DISPOSITION).
3
4
5
Protected Material must be stored and maintained by a Receiving Party at a location and in
a secure manner that ensures that access is limited to the persons authorized under this Order.
7.2
Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items. Unless otherwise ordered
6
by the court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party, a Receiving Party may disclose any
7
information or item designated “CONFIDENTIAL” only to:
8

(b)
the officers, directors, and employees (including House Counsel) of the
Receiving Party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this litigation;
(c)
Experts (as defined in this Order) of the Receiving Party to whom disclosure
14
is reasonably necessary for this litigation and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and
15
Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A);
16
(d)
the court and its personnel;
17
(e)
court reporters and their staff;
18

(g)
during their depositions, witnesses in the action to whom disclosure is
22
reasonably necessary and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound”
23
(Exhibit A), unless otherwise agreed by the Designating Party or ordered by the court. Pages of
24
transcribed deposition testimony or exhibits to depositions that reveal Protected Material must be
25
separately bound by the court reporter and may not be disclosed to anyone except as permitted

PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED IN OTHER
4
LITIGATION
5
If a Party is served with a subpoena or a court order issued in other litigation that compels
6
disclosure of any information or items designated in this action as “CONFIDENTIAL,” that Party
7
must:
8
9
(a)
promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification shall
include a copy of the subpoena or court order;
10
(b)
promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or order to
11
issue in the other litigation that some or all of the material covered by the subpoena or order is
12
subject to this Protective Order. Such notification shall include a copy of this Stipulated Protective
13
Order; and
14
15
(c)
cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be pursued by
the Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected.
16
If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served with the subpoena
17
or court order shall not produce any information designated in this action as “CONFIDENTIAL”
18
before a determination by the court from which the subpoena or order issued, unless the Party has
19
obtained the Designating Party’s permission. The Designating Party shall bear the burden and
20
expense of seeking protection in that court of its confidential material – and nothing in these
21
provisions should be construed as authorizing or encouraging a Receiving Party in this action to
22
disobey a lawful directive from another court.
23
9.
24
25
A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE PRODUCED IN THIS
LITIGATION
(a)
The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by a Non-
26
Party in this action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL.” Such information produced by Non-
27
Parties in connection with this litigation is protected by the remedies and relief provided by this
28
__________________________________________________________________________________
9
STIPULATION FOR PROTECTIVE ORDER AND ORDER
CASE NO. C12-04601 EMC
1
Order. Nothing in these provisions should be construed as prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking
2
additional protections.
3
(b)
In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, to produce
4
a Non-Party’s confidential information in its possession, and the Party is subject to an agreement
5
with the Non-Party not to produce the Non-Party’s confidential information, then the Party shall:
6
(1)
promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non-Party
7
that some or all of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality agreement with a Non-
8
Party;
9
(2)
promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the Stipulated
10
Protective Order in this litigation, the relevant discovery request(s), and a reasonably specific
11
description of the information requested; and
12
13
(3)
make the information requested available for inspection by the Non-
Party.
14
(c)
If the Non-Party fails to object or seek a protective order from this court
15
within 14 days of receiving the notice and accompanying information, the Receiving Party may
16
produce the Non-Party’s confidential information responsive to the discovery request. If the Non-
17
Party timely seeks a protective order, the Receiving Party shall not produce any information in its
18
possession or control that is subject to the confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party before a
19
determination by the court.1 Absent a court order to the contrary, the Non-Party shall bear the
20
burden and expense of seeking protection in this court of its Protected Material.
21
10.
UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
22
If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has disclosed Protected
23
Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized under this Stipulated Protective
24
Order, the Receiving Party must immediately (a) notify in writing the Designating Party of the
25
unauthorized disclosures, (b) use its best efforts to retrieve all unauthorized copies of the Protected
26
27
28
1
The purpose of this provision is to alert the interested parties to the existence of confidentiality
rights of a Non-Party and to afford the Non-Party an opportunity to protect its confidentiality
interests in this court.

Material, (c) inform the person or persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the

terms of this Order, and (d) request such person or persons to execute the “Acknowledgment and

5
INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE PROTECTED
MATERIAL
6
When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain inadvertently
7
produced material is subject to a claim of privilege or other protection, the obligations of the
8
Receiving Parties are those set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(b)(5)(B).
9
provision is not intended to modify whatever procedure may be established in an e-discovery order
10
that provides for production without prior privilege review. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence
11
502(d) and (e), if the parties reach an agreement on the effect of disclosure of a communication or
12
information covered by the attorney-client privilege or work product protection, the parties may
13
enter into a written stipulation.
14
12.
15
16
17
This
MISCELLANOUS
12.1
Right to Further Relief. Nothing in this Order abridges the right of any person to
seek its modification by the court in the future.
12.2
Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of this Protective
18
Order no Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to disclosing or producing any
19
information or item on any ground not addressed in this Stipulated Protective Order. Similarly, no
20
Party waives any right to object on any ground to use in evidence of any of the material covered by
21
this Protective Order.
22
12.3
Filing Protected Material. Without written permission from the Designating Party
23
or a court order secured after appropriate notice to all interested persons, a Party may not file in the
24
public record in this action any Protected Material. A Party that seeks to file under seal any
25
Protected Material must comply with Civil Local Rule 79-5 and General Order 62. Protected
26
Material may only be filed under seal pursuant to a court order authorizing the sealing of the
27
specific Protected Material at issue. Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 79-5 and General Order 62, a
28
__________________________________________________________________________________
11
STIPULATION FOR PROTECTIVE ORDER AND ORDER
CASE NO. C12-04601 EMC
1
sealing order will issue only upon a request establishing that the Protected Material at issue is
2
privileged, protectable as a trade secret, or otherwise entitled to protection under the law. If a
3
Receiving Party’s request to file Protected Material under seal pursuant to Civil Local Rule 79-5(d)
4
and General Order 62 is denied by the court, then the Receiving Party may file the information in
5
the public record pursuant to Civil Local Rule 79-5(e) unless otherwise instructed by the court.
6
13.
FINAL DISPOSITION
7
Within 60 days after the final disposition of this action, as defined in paragraph 4, each
8
Receiving Party must return all Protected Material to the Producing Party or destroy such material.
9
As used in this subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes all copies, abstracts, compilations,
10
summaries, and any other format reproducing or capturing any of the Protected Material. Whether
11
the Protected Material is returned or destroyed, the Receiving Party must submit a written
12
certification to the Producing Party (and, if not the same person or entity, to the Designating Party)
13
by the 60 day deadline that (1) identifies (by category, where appropriate) all the Protected
14
Material that was returned or destroyed and (2) affirms that the Receiving Party has not retained
15
any copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries or any other format reproducing or capturing any of
16
the Protected Material. Notwithstanding this provision, Counsel are entitled to retain an archival
17
copy of all pleadings, motion papers, trial, deposition, and hearing transcripts, legal memoranda,
18
correspondence, deposition and trial exhibits, expert reports, attorney work product, and consultant
19
and expert work product, even if such materials contain Protected Material. Any such archival
20
copies that contain or constitute Protected Material remain subject to this Protective Order as set
21
forth in Section 4 (DURATION).
22
IT IS SO STIPULATED, THROUGH COUNSEL OF RECORD.
