On December 10, 2015, the parties submitted a stipulated protective order governing

13

disclosure of confidential materials. The parties proposed a number of deviations from the Court’s

14

Model Protective Order for Litigation Involving Patents, Highly Sensitive Confidential

15

Information and/or Trade Secrets. The Court intends to adopt the proposed stipulated protective

16

order after the following changes are made:
In Section 5.1 Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection, the

17
18

parties shall reinsert the following paragraph: Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are

19

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

20

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

21

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

22

sanctions.
In Section 6.3 Judicial Intervention, the parties shall reinsert the following sentence:

23
24

Frivolous challenges and those made for an improper purpose (e.g., to harass or impose

25

unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the Challenging Party to

26

sanctions.
