1.
PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS
2
Disclosure and discovery activity in this action are likely to involve production of
3
confidential, proprietary, or private information for which special protection from public
4
disclosure and from use for any purpose other than prosecuting this litigation may be warranted.
5
Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to and petition the court to enter the following
6
Stipulated Protective Order. The parties acknowledge that this Order does not confer blanket
7
protections on all disclosures or responses to discovery and that the protection it affords from
8
public disclosure and use extends only to the limited information or items that are entitled to
9
confidential treatment under the applicable legal principles. The parties further acknowledge, as
10
set forth in Section 12.3, below, that this Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle them to file
11
confidential information under seal; Civil Local Rule 79-5 sets forth the procedures that must be
12
followed and the standards that will be applied when a party seeks permission from the court to
13
file material under seal.

cover the following information: (a) any information that is in the public domain at the time of
2
disclosure to a Receiving Party or becomes part of the public domain after its disclosure to a
3
Receiving Party as a result of publication not involving a violation of this Order, including
4
becoming part of the public record through trial or otherwise; and (b) any information known to
5
the Receiving Party prior to the disclosure or obtained by the Receiving Party after the
6
disclosure from a source who obtained the information lawfully and under no obligation of
7
confidentiality to the Designating Party. Any use of Protected Material at trial shall be governed
8
by a separate agreement or order.
9
4.
DURATION
10
Even after final disposition of this litigation, the confidentiality obligations imposed by
11
this Order shall remain in effect until a Designating Party agrees otherwise in writing or a court
12
order otherwise directs. Final disposition shall be deemed to be the later of (1) dismissal of all
13
claims and defenses in this action, with or without prejudice; and (2) final judgment herein after
14
the completion and exhaustion of all appeals, rehearings, remands, trials, or reviews of this
15
action, including the time limits for filing any motions or applications for extension of time
16
pursuant to applicable law.

18
DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL
5.1
Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection. Each Party
19
or Non-Party that designates information or items for protection under this Order must take care
20
to limit any such designation to specific material that qualifies under the appropriate standards.
21
The Designating Party must designate for protection only those parts of material, documents,
22
items, or oral or written communications that qualify—so that other portions of the material,
23
documents, items, or communications for which protection is not warranted are not swept
24
unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order.
25
Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations that are
26
shown to be clearly unjustified or that have been made for an improper purpose (e.g., to
27
unnecessarily encumber or retard the case development process or to impose unnecessary
28
expenses and burdens on other parties) expose the Designating Party to sanctions.
D RINKER B IDDLE &
R EATH LLP

SAN FRANCISCO
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
-3-
CASE NO. 3:14-CV-01802-VC
1
If it comes to a Designating Party’s attention that information or items that it designated
2
for protection do not qualify for protection, that Designating Party must promptly notify all
3
other Parties that it is withdrawing the mistaken designation.
4
5.2
Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in this Order
5
(see, e.g., second paragraph of section 5.2(a) below), or as otherwise stipulated or ordered,
6
Disclosure or Discovery Material that qualifies for protection under this Order must be clearly
7
so designated before the material is disclosed or produced.
8
Designation in conformity with this Order requires:
9
(a) for information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic documents, but
10
excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial proceedings), that the Producing
11
Party affix the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” to each page that contains protected material. If only
12
a portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also
13
must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the
14
margins).
15
A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents or materials available for inspection need
16
not designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has indicated which material it
17
would like copied and produced. During the inspection and before the designation, all of the
18
material made available for inspection shall be deemed “CONFIDENTIAL.” After the
19
inspecting Party has identified the documents it wants copied and produced, the Producing Party
20
must determine which documents, or portions thereof, qualify for protection under this Order.
21
Then, before producing the specified documents, the Producing Party must affix the
22
“CONFIDENTIAL” legend to each page that contains Protected Material. If only a portion or
23
portions of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly
24
identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins).
25
(b) for testimony given in deposition or in other pretrial or trial proceedings, that the
26
Designating Party identify on the record, before the close of the deposition, hearing, or other
27
proceeding, all protected testimony.

(c) for information produced in some form other than documentary and for any other
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

CASE NO. 3:14-CV-01802-VC
1
tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on the exterior of the
2
container or containers in which the information or item is stored the legend
3
“CONFIDENTIAL.” If only a portion or portions of the information or item warrant protection,
4
the Producing Party, to the extent practicable, shall identify the protected portion(s).
5
5.3
Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent failure to
6
designate qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive the Designating Party’s
7
right to secure protection under this Order for such material. Upon timely correction of a
8
designation, the Receiving Party must make reasonable efforts to assure that the material is
9
treated in accordance with the provisions of this Order.
10
11
6.
CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS
6.1
Timing of Challenges. Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a designation of
12
confidentiality at any time. Unless a prompt challenge to a Designating Party’s confidentiality
13
designation is necessary to avoid foreseeable, substantial unfairness, unnecessary economic
14
burdens, or a significant disruption or delay of the litigation, a Party does not waive its right to
15
challenge a confidentiality designation by electing not to mount a challenge promptly after the
16
original designation is disclosed.
17
6.2
Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute resolution
18
process by providing written notice of each designation it is challenging and describing the basis
19
for each challenge. To avoid ambiguity as to whether a challenge has been made, the written
20
notice must recite that the challenge to confidentiality is being made in accordance with this
21
specific paragraph of the Protective Order. The parties shall attempt to resolve each challenge in
22
good faith and must begin the process by conferring directly (in voice to voice dialogue; other
23
forms of communication are not sufficient) within 14 days of the date of service of notice. In
24
conferring, the Challenging Party must explain the basis for its belief that the confidentiality
25
designation was not proper and must give the Designating Party an opportunity to review the
26
designated material, to reconsider the circumstances, and, if no change in designation is offered,
27
to explain the basis for the chosen designation. A Challenging Party may proceed to the next
28
stage of the challenge process only if it has engaged in this meet and confer process first or

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
-5-
CASE NO. 3:14-CV-01802-VC
1
establishes that the Designating Party is unwilling to participate in the meet and confer process
2
in a timely manner.
3
6.3
Judicial Intervention. If the Parties cannot resolve a challenge without court
4
intervention, the Designating Party shall file and serve a motion to retain confidentiality under
5
Civil Local Rule 7 (and in compliance with Civil Local Rule 79-5, if applicable) within 21 days
6
of the initial notice of challenge or within 14 days of the parties agreeing that the meet and
7
confer process will not resolve their dispute, whichever is earlier. Each such motion must be
8
accompanied by a competent declaration affirming that the movant has complied with the meet
9
and confer requirements imposed in the preceding paragraph. Failure by the Designating Party
10
to make such a motion including the required declaration within 21 days (or 14 days, if
11
applicable) shall automatically waive the confidentiality designation for each challenged
12
designation. In addition, the Challenging Party may file a motion challenging a confidentiality
13
designation at any time if there is good cause for doing so, including a challenge to the
14
designation of a deposition transcript or any portions thereof. Any motion brought pursuant to
15
this provision must be accompanied by a competent declaration affirming that the movant has
16
complied with the meet and confer requirements imposed by the preceding paragraph.
17
The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on the Designating
18
Party. Frivolous challenges, and those made for an improper purpose (e.g., to harass or impose
19
unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the Challenging Party to
20
sanctions. Unless the Designating Party has waived the confidentiality designation by failing to
21
file a motion to retain confidentiality as described above, all parties shall continue to afford the
22
material in question the level of protection to which it is entitled under the Producing Party’s
23
designation until the court rules on the challenge.
24
7.
25
ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
7.1
Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is disclosed
26
or produced by another Party or by a Non-Party in connection with this case only for
27
prosecuting, defending, or attempting to settle this litigation. Such Protected Material may be
28
disclosed only to the categories of persons and under the conditions described in this Order.

When the litigation has been terminated, a Receiving Party must comply with the provisions of

section 13 below (FINAL DISPOSITION).
3
Protected Material must be stored and maintained by a Receiving Party at a location and
4
in a secure manner that ensures that access is limited to the persons authorized under this Order.
5
7.2
Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items. Unless otherwise
6
ordered by the court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party, a Receiving Party may
7
disclose any information or item designated “CONFIDENTIAL” only to:
8
(a) the Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of Record in this action, as well as
9
employees of said Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably necessary to disclose the
10
information for this litigation and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be
11
Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit A;
12
(b) the officers, directors, and employees (including House Counsel) of the
13
Receiving Party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this litigation and who have
14
signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A);
15
(c) Experts (as defined in this Order) of the Receiving Party to whom disclosure is
16
reasonably necessary for this litigation and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and
17
Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A);
18
(d) the court and its personnel;
19
(e) court reporters and their staff, professional jury or trial consultants, mock jurors,
20

21
have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A);
22
(f) during their depositions, witnesses in the action to whom disclosure is reasonably
23
necessary and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit
24
A), unless otherwise agreed by the Designating Party or ordered by the court. Pages of
25
transcribed deposition testimony or exhibits to depositions that reveal Protected Material must
26
be separately bound by the court reporter and may not be disclosed to anyone except as

permitted under this Stipulated Protective Order.

3
LITIGATION
4
If a Party is served with a subpoena or a court order issued in other litigation that
5
compels disclosure of any information or items designated in this action as “CONFIDENTIAL,”
6
that Party must:
7
8
(a) promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification shall include a
copy of the subpoena or court order;
9
(b) promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or order to issue in
10
the other litigation that some or all of the material covered by the subpoena or order is subject to
11
this Protective Order. Such notification shall include a copy of this Stipulated Protective Order;
12
and
13
14
(c) cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be pursued by the
Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected.
15
If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served with the
16
subpoena or court order shall not produce any information designated in this action as
17
“CONFIDENTIAL” before a determination by the court from which the subpoena or order
18
issued, unless the Party has obtained the Designating Party’s permission. The Designating Party
19
shall bear the burden and expense of seeking protection in that court of its confidential
20
material—and nothing in these provisions should be construed as authorizing or encouraging a
21
Receiving Party in this action to disobey a lawful directive from another court.

A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE PRODUCED IN

25
this action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL.” Such information produced by Non-Parties in
26
connection with this litigation is protected by the remedies and relief provided by this Order.

Nothing in these provisions should be construed as prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking

additional protections.

22
Order, the Receiving Party must immediately (a) notify in writing the Designating Party of the
23
unauthorized disclosures, (b) use its best efforts to retrieve all unauthorized copies of the
24
Protected Material, (c) inform the person or persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were

CASE NO. 3:14-CV-01802-VC
1
When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain inadvertently
2
produced material is subject to a claim of privilege or other protection, the obligations of the
3
Receiving Parties are those set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(b)(5)(B). This
4
provision is not intended to modify whatever procedure may be established in an e-discovery
5
order that provides for production without prior privilege review. Pursuant to Federal Rule of
6
Evidence 502(d) and (e), insofar as the parties reach an agreement on the effect of disclosure of
7
a communication or information covered by the attorney-client privilege or work product
8
protection, the parties may incorporate their agreement in the stipulated protective order
9
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 Protective
14
Order no Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to disclosing or producing
15
any information or item on any ground not addressed in this Stipulated Protective Order.
16
Similarly, no Party waives any right to object on any ground to use in evidence of any of the
17
material covered by this Protective Order.
18
12.3
Filing Protected Material. Without written permission from the Designating Party
19
or a court order secured after appropriate notice to all interested persons, a Party may not file in
20
the public record in this action any Protected Material. A Party that seeks to file under seal any
21
Protected Material must comply with Civil Local Rule 79-5. Protected Material may only be
22
filed under seal pursuant to a court order authorizing the sealing of the specific Protected
23
Material at issue. Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 79-5, a sealing order will issue only upon a
24
request establishing that the Protected Material at issue is privileged, protectable as a trade
25
secret, or otherwise entitled to protection under the law. If a Receiving Party's request to file
26
Protected Material under seal pursuant to Civil Local Rule 79-5(d) is denied by the court, then
27
the Receiving Party may file the information in the public record pursuant to Civil Local Rule
28
79-5(e) unless otherwise instructed by the court.

FINAL DISPOSITION
Within 60 days after the final disposition of this action, as defined in paragraph 4, each
3
Receiving Party must return all Protected Material to the Producing Party or destroy such
4
material. As used in this subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes all copies, abstracts,
5
compilations, summaries, and any other format reproducing or capturing any of the Protected
6
Material. Whether the Protected Material is returned or destroyed, the Receiving Party must
7
submit a written certification to the Producing Party (and, if not the same person or entity, to the
8
Designating Party) by the 60 day deadline that (1) identifies (by category, where appropriate) all
9
the Protected Material that was returned or destroyed and (2) affirms that the Receiving Party
10
has not retained any copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries or any other format reproducing
11
or capturing any of the Protected Material. Notwithstanding this provision, Counsel are entitled
12
to retain an archival copy of all pleadings, motion papers, trial, deposition, and hearing
13
transcripts, legal memoranda, correspondence, deposition and trial exhibits, expert reports,
14
attorney work product, and consultant and expert work product, even if such materials contain
15
Protected Material. Any such archival copies that contain or constitute Protected Material
16
remain subject to this Protective Order as set forth in Section 4 (DURATION).
