1.

PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS

2

Disclosure and discovery activity in this action are likely to involve

3

production of confidential, proprietary, or private information for which special

4

protection from public disclosure and from use for any purpose other than

prosecuting this litigation may be warranted. Accordingly, the parties hereby

8

disclosures or responses to discovery and that the protection it affords from public

to confidential treatment under the applicable legal principles. The parties further

11

acknowledge, as set forth in Section 12.3, below, that this Stipulated Protective

12

Order does not entitle them to file confidential information under seal; Civil Local

Rule 79-5 and General Order 62 set forth the procedures that must be followed and

14

the standards that will be applied when a party seeks permission from the court to

15

file material under seal.

3.

SCOPE

2

The protections conferred by this Stipulation and Order cover not only

3

Protected Material (as defined above), but also (1) any information copied or

4

extracted from Protected Material; (2) all copies, excerpts, summaries, or

5

compilations of Protected Material; and (3) any testimony, conversations, or

6

presentations by Parties or their Counsel that might reveal Protected Material.

7

However, the protections conferred by this Stipulation and Order do not cover the

8

following information: (a) any information that is in the public domain at the time

9

of disclosure to a Receiving Party or becomes part of the public domain after its

10

disclosure to a Receiving Party as a result of publication not involving a violation

11

of this Order, including becoming part of the public record through trial or

12

otherwise; and (b) any information known to the Receiving Party prior to the

13

disclosure or obtained by the Receiving Party after the disclosure from a source

14

who obtained the information lawfully and under no obligation of confidentiality to

15

the Designating Party. Any use of Protected Material at trial shall be governed by a

16

separate agreement or order.

17

4.

DURATION
Even after final disposition of this litigation, the confidentiality obligations

18
19

imposed by this Order shall remain in effect until a Designating Party agrees

20

otherwise in writing or a court order otherwise directs. Final disposition shall be

21

deemed to be the later of (1) dismissal of all claims and defenses in this action, with

22

or without prejudice; and (2) final judgment herein after the completion and

23

exhaustion of all appeals, rehearings, remands, trials, or reviews of this action,

24

including the time limits for filing any motions or applications for extension of time

25

pursuant to applicable law.

DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL
5.1

Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection.

Each Party or Non-Party that designates information or items for protection under
-3LEGAL_US_W # 76389004.2

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
U.S.D.C., N.D. CAL., NO. CV 13-02948 SI

1

this Order must take care to limit any such designation to specific material that

2

qualifies under the appropriate standards. The Designating Party must designate for

3

protection only those parts of material, documents, items, or oral or written

4

communications that qualify - so that other portions of the material, documents,

5

items, or communications for which protection is not warranted are not swept

6

unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order.

7

Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations

8

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

9

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

10

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

11

Designating Party to sanctions.

12

If it comes to a Designating Party’s attention that information or items that it

13

designated for protection do not qualify for protection, that Designating Party must

14

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

15

5.2

Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in

16

this Order (see, e.g., second paragraph of section 5.2(a) below), or as otherwise

17

stipulated or ordered, Disclosure or Discovery Material that qualifies for protection

18

under this Order must be clearly so designated before the material is disclosed or

19

produced.

20

Designation in conformity with this Order requires:

21

(a) for information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic

22

documents, but excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial

23

proceedings), that the Producing Party affix the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” to each

24

page that contains protected material. If only a portion or portions of the material

25

on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the

26

protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins). A Party

27

or Non-Party that makes original documents or materials available for inspection

28

need not designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has indicated
-4LEGAL_US_W # 76389004.2

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
U.S.D.C., N.D. CAL., NO. CV 13-02948 SI

1

which material it would like copied and produced. During the inspection and

2

before the designation, all of the material made available for inspection shall be

3

deemed “CONFIDENTIAL.” After the inspecting Party has identified the

4

documents it wants copied and produced, the Producing Party must determine

5

which documents, or portions thereof, qualify for protection under this Order.

6

Then, before producing the specified documents, the Producing Party must affix the

7

“CONFIDENTIAL” legend to each page that contains Protected Material. If only a

8

portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing

9

Party also must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making

10

appropriate markings in the margins).

11

(b) for testimony given in deposition or in other pretrial or trial

12

proceedings, that the Designating Party identify on the record, before the close of

13

the deposition, hearing, or other proceeding, all protected testimony.
(c) for information produced in some form other than documentary and

14
15

for any other tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on

16

the exterior of the container or containers in which the information or item is stored

17

the legend “CONFIDENTIAL.” If only a portion or portions of the information or

18

item warrant protection, the Producing Party, to the extent practicable, shall identify

19

the protected portion(s).
5.3

20

Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent

21

failure to designate qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive

22

the Designating Party’s right to secure protection under this Order for such

23

material. Upon timely correction of a designation, the Receiving Party must make

24

reasonable efforts to assure that the material is treated in accordance with the

25

provisions of this Order.

26

6.

27
28

CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS
6.1

Timing of Challenges. Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a

designation of confidentiality at any time. Unless a prompt challenge to a
-5LEGAL_US_W # 76389004.2

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
U.S.D.C., N.D. CAL., NO. CV 13-02948 SI

1

Designating Party’s confidentiality designation is necessary to avoid foreseeable,

2

substantial unfairness, unnecessary economic burdens, or a significant disruption or

3

delay of the litigation, a Party does not waive its right to challenge a confidentiality

4

designation by electing not to mount a challenge promptly after the original

5

designation is disclosed.

6

6.2

Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute

7

resolution process by providing written notice of each designation it is challenging

8

and describing the basis for each challenge. To avoid ambiguity as to whether a

9

challenge has been made, the written notice must recite that the challenge to

10

confidentiality is being made in accordance with this specific paragraph of the

11

Protective Order. The parties shall attempt to resolve each challenge in good faith

12

and must begin the process by conferring directly (in voice to voice dialogue; other

13

forms of communication are not sufficient) within 14 days of the date of service of

14

notice. In conferring, the Challenging Party must explain the basis for its belief that

15

the confidentiality designation was not proper and must give the Designating Party

16

an opportunity to review the designated material, to reconsider the circumstances,

17

and, if no change in designation is offered, to explain the basis for the chosen

18

designation. A Challenging Party may proceed to the next stage of the challenge

19

process only if it has engaged in this meet and confer process first or establishes

20

that the Designating Party is unwilling to participate in the meet and confer process

21

in a timely manner.

22

6.3

Judicial Intervention. If the Parties cannot resolve a challenge without

23

court intervention, the Designating Party shall file and serve a motion to retain

24

confidentiality under Civil Local Rule 7 (and in compliance with Civil Local Rule

25

79-5 and General Order 62, if applicable) within 21 days of the initial notice of

26

challenge or within 14 days of the parties agreeing that the meet and confer process

27

will not resolve their dispute, whichever is earlier. Each such motion must be

28

accompanied by a competent declaration affirming that the movant has complied
-6LEGAL_US_W # 76389004.2

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
U.S.D.C., N.D. CAL., NO. CV 13-02948 SI

1

with the meet and confer requirements imposed in the preceding paragraph. Failure

2

by the Designating Party to make such a motion including the required declaration

3

within 21 days (or 14 days, if applicable) shall automatically waive the

4

confidentiality designation for each challenged designation. In addition, the

5

Challenging Party may file a motion challenging a confidentiality designation at

6

any time if there is good cause for doing so, including a challenge to the

7

designation of a deposition transcript or any portions thereof. Any motion brought

8

pursuant to this provision must be accompanied by a competent declaration

9

affirming that the movant has complied with the meet and confer requirements

10

imposed by the preceding paragraph.
The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on the

11
12

Designating Party. Frivolous challenges, and those made for an improper purpose

13

(e.g., to harass or impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may

14

expose the Challenging Party to sanctions. Unless the Designating Party has

15

waived the confidentiality designation by failing to file a motion to retain

16

confidentiality as described above, all parties shall continue to afford the material in

17

question the level of protection to which it is entitled under the Producing Party’s

18

designation until the court rules on the challenge.

19

7.

ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
7.1

20

Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is

21

disclosed or produced by another Party or by a Non-Party in connection with this

22

case only for prosecuting, defending, or attempting to settle this litigation. Such

23

Protected Material may be disclosed only to the categories of persons and under the

24

conditions described in this Order. When the litigation has been terminated, a

25

Receiving Party must comply with the provisions of section 13 below (FINAL

26

DISPOSITION).

1
2

location and in a secure manner that ensures that access is limited to the persons

3

authorized under this Order.
7.2

4

Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items. Unless

5

otherwise ordered by the court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party, a

6

Receiving Party may disclose any information or item designated

7

“CONFIDENTIAL” only to:

8

(a) the Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of Record in this action, as well

9

as employees of said Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably necessary

11

“Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit

12

A;
(b) the officers, directors, and employees (including House Counsel) of

13
14

the Receiving Party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this litigation

Bound” (Exhibit A);

25

(f) during their depositions, witnesses in the action to whom disclosure is

IN OTHER LITIGATION
If a Party is served with a subpoena or a court order issued in other litigation

8

10

that compels disclosure of any information or items designated in this action as
“CONFIDENTIAL,” that Party must:
(a) promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification

12

PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED

shall include a copy of the subpoena or court order;
(b) promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or order

13
14

to issue in the other litigation that some or all of the material covered by the

15

subpoena or order is subject to this Protective Order. Such notification shall

16

include a copy of this Stipulated Protective Order; and

17

(c) cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be

18

pursued by the Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected.
If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served with

19
20

the subpoena or court order shall not produce any information designated in this

21

action as “CONFIDENTIAL” before a determination by the court from which the

22

subpoena or order issued, unless the Party has obtained the Designating Party’s

23

permission. The Designating Party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking

24

protection in that court of its confidential material - and nothing in these provisions

25

should be construed as authorizing or encouraging a Receiving Party in this action

26

to disobey a lawful directive from another court.

A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE

2

PRODUCED IN THIS LITIGATION
(a) The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by a

3
4

Non-Party in this action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL.” Such information

5

produced by Non-Parties in connection with this litigation is protected by the

6

remedies and relief provided by this Order. Nothing in these provisions should be

7

construed as prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking additional protections.
(b) In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, to

8
9

produce a Non-Party’s confidential information in its possession, and the Party is

10

subject to an agreement with the Non-Party not to produce the Non-Party’s

11

confidential information, then the Party shall:
(1) promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non-Party

12
13

that some or all of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality

14

agreement with a Non-Party;
(2) promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the Stipulated

15
16

Protective Order in this litigation, the relevant discovery request(s), and a

17

reasonably specific description of the information requested; and
(3) make the information requested available for inspection by the

18
19

Non-Party.

20

(c) If the Non-Party fails to object or seek a protective order from this

21

court within 14 days of receiving the notice and accompanying information, the

22

Receiving Party may produce the Non-Party’s confidential information responsive

23

to the discovery request. If the Non-Party timely seeks a protective order, the

24

Receiving Party shall not produce any information in its possession or control that

25

is subject to the confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party before a

26

determination by the court. Absent a court order to the contrary, the Non-Party

27

shall bear the burden and expense of seeking protection in this court of its Protected

28

Material.

UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has disclosed

2
3

Protected Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized under this

4

Stipulated Protective Order, the Receiving Party must immediately (a) notify in

5

writing the Designating Party of the unauthorized disclosures, (b) use its best

6

efforts to retrieve all unauthorized copies of the Protected Material, (c) inform the

7

person or persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the terms of

8

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

9

and Agreement to Be Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

10

11.

INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE

11

PROTECTED MATERIAL
When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain

12
13

inadvertently produced material is subject to a claim of privilege or other

14

protection, the obligations of the Receiving Parties are those set forth in Federal

15

Rule of Civil Procedure 26(b)(5)(B). This provision is not intended to modify

16

whatever procedure may be established in an e-discovery order that provides for

17

production without prior privilege review. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence

18

502(d) and (e), insofar as the parties reach an agreement on the effect of disclosure

19

of a communication or information covered by the attorney-client privilege or work

20

product protection, the parties may incorporate their agreement in the stipulated

21

protective order submitted to the court.

MISCELLANEOUS
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

26

Protective Order no Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to

27

disclosing or producing any information or item on any ground not addressed in

28

this Stipulated Protective Order. Similarly, no Party waives any right to object on

1

any ground to use in evidence of any of the material covered by this Protective

2

Order.

3

12.3 Filing Protected Material. Without written permission from the

4

Designating Party or a court order secured after appropriate notice to all interested

5

persons, a Party may not file in the public record in this action any Protected

6

Material. A Party that seeks to file under seal any Protected Material must comply

7

with Civil Local Rule 79-5 and General Order 62. Protected Material may only be

8

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

9

Protected Material at issue. Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 79-5 and General Order

10

62, a sealing order will issue only upon a request establishing that the Protected

11

Material at issue is privileged, protectable as a trade secret, or otherwise entitled to

12

protection under the law. If a Receiving Party’s request to file Protected Material

13

under seal pursuant to Civil Local Rule 79-5(d) and General Order 62 is denied by

14

the court, then the Receiving Party may file the information in the public record

15

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

16

13.

FINAL DISPOSITION

17

Within 60 days after the final disposition of this action, as defined in

18

paragraph 4, each Receiving Party must return all Protected Material to the

19

Producing Party or destroy such material. As used in this subdivision, “all

20

Protected Material” includes all copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries, and any

21

other format reproducing or capturing any of the Protected Material. Whether the

22

Protected Material is returned or destroyed, the Receiving Party must submit a

23

written certification to the Producing Party (and, if not the same person or entity, to

24
