Stipulation and Protective Order

1

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

5

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

6

stipulate to and petition the court to enter the following Stipulated Protective Order.

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

13

Rule 79-5 sets forth the procedures that must be followed and the standards that

will be applied when a party seeks permission from the court to file material under

15

seal.

Stipulation and Protective Order

1

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

15

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

16

by a separate agreement or order.

17

4.

DURATION

18

Even after final disposition of this litigation, the confidentiality obligations

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.

26

5.

27
28

DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL
a.

Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection.

Each Party or Non-Party that designates information or items for protection under
5
Louangamath v. Philips North America LLC,
et al.

Stipulation and Protective Order

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

13

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

14

must promptly notify all other Parties that it is withdrawing the mistaken

15

designation.

16

5.2

Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in

17

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

18

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

19

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

20

produced.

21
22

Designation in conformity with this Order requires:
(a)

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

23

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

24

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

25

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

26

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

27

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

28

Party or Non-Party that makes original documents or materials available for
6
Louangamath v. Philips North America LLC,
et al.

Stipulation and Protective Order

1

inspection need not designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party

2

has indicated which material it would like copied and produced. During the

3

inspection and before the designation, all of the material made available for

4

inspection shall be deemed “CONFIDENTIAL.” After the inspecting Party has

5

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

6

determine which documents, or portions thereof, qualify for protection under this

7

Order. Then, before producing the specified documents, the Producing Party must

8

affix the “CONFIDENTIAL” legend to each page that contains Protected Material.

9

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

10

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

11

appropriate markings in the margins).
(b)

12

for testimony given in deposition or in other pretrial or trial

13

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

14

the deposition, hearing, or other proceeding, all protected testimony.

15

(c) for information produced in some form other than documentary and

16

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

17

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

18

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

19

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

20

identify the protected portion(s).
5.3

21

Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent

22

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

23

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

24

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

25

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

26

provisions of this Order.

27

6.

28

CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS
a.

Timing of Challenges. Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a
7

Louangamath v. Philips North America LLC,
et al.

Stipulation and Protective Order

1

designation of confidentiality at any time. Unless a prompt challenge to a

2

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

3

substantial unfairness, unnecessary economic burdens, or a significant disruption

4

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

5

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

6

original designation is disclosed.

7

b.

Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute

8

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

9

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

10

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

11

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

12

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

13

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

14

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

15

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

16

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

17

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

18

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

19

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

20

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

21

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

22

in a timely manner.

23

c.

Judicial Intervention. If the Parties cannot resolve a challenge without

24

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

25

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

26

79-5, if applicable) within 21 days of the initial notice of challenge or within 14

27

days of the parties agreeing that the meet and confer process will not resolve their

28

dispute, whichever is earlier. Each such motion must be accompanied by a
8
Louangamath v. Philips North America LLC,
et al.

Stipulation and Protective Order

1

competent declaration affirming that the movant has complied with the meet and

2

confer requirements imposed in the preceding paragraph. Failure by the

3

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

4

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

5

designation for each challenged designation. In addition, the Challenging Party

6

may file a motion challenging a confidentiality designation at any time if there is

7

good cause for doing so, including a challenge to the designation of a deposition

8

transcript or any portions thereof. Any motion brought pursuant to this provision

9

must be accompanied by a competent declaration affirming that the movant has

10

complied with the meet and confer requirements imposed by the preceding

11

paragraph.

12

The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on the

13

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

14

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

15

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

16

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

17

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

18

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

19

designation until the court rules on the challenge.

20

7.

21

ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
a.

Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that

22

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

23

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

24

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

25

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

26

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

27

DISPOSITION).

28

Protected Material must be stored and maintained by a Receiving Party at a
9
Louangamath v. Philips North America LLC,
et al.

Stipulation and Protective Order

1

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

2

authorized under this Order.
b.

3

Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items. Unless

4

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

5

Receiving

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

11

A;

12

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

13

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

14

and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit

15

A);

16

(c) Experts (as defined in this Order) of the Receiving Party to whom

17

disclosure is reasonably necessary for this litigation and who have signed the

18

“Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A);

19

(d) the court and its personnel;

20

(e)

court reporters and their staff, professional jury or trial

21

22

reasonably necessary for this litigation and who have signed the “Acknowledgment

23

and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A);

24

(f)

during their depositions, witnesses in the action to whom

25

disclosure is reasonably necessary and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and

26

Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A), unless otherwise agreed by the Designating

27

Party or ordered by the court. Pages of transcribed deposition testimony or exhibits

8.

PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED

6

PRODUCED IN OTHER LITIGATION

7

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

8

that compels disclosure of any information or items designated in this action as

9

“CONFIDENTIAL,” that Party must:
(a) promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification shall

10
11

include a copy of the subpoena or court order;

12

(b) promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or order

13

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

14

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

15

a copy of this Stipulated Protective Order; and
(c) cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be pursued

16
17

by the Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected.

18

If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served

19

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

20

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

21

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

22

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

23

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

24

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

25

to disobey a lawful directive from another court.

26

9.

A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE

27

PRODUCED IN THIS LITIGATION

28

(a) The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by a Non11
Louangamath v. Philips North America LLC,
et al.

Stipulation and Protective Order

1

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

2

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

3

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

4

construed as prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking additional protections.

5

(b) In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, to

6

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

7

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

8

confidential information, then the Party shall:

9

(1) promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non-Party

10

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

11

agreement with a Non-Party;

12

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

13

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

14

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

15
16

Party.

17

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

18

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

19

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

20

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

21

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

22

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

23

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

24

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

25

Material.

26

10.

UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL

27

If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has

28

disclosed Protected Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized
12
Louangamath v. Philips North America LLC,
et al.

Stipulation and Protective Order

1

under this Stipulated Protective Order, the Receiving Party must immediately (a)

2

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

3

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

4

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

5

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

6

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

7

A.

8

11.

INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR
OTHERWISE PROTECTED MATERIAL

9
10

When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain

11

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

12

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

13

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

14

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

15

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

16

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

17

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

18

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

19

protective order submitted to the court.

20

12.

21
22
23

MISCELLANEOUS
a.

Right to Further Relief. Nothing in this Order abridges the right of any

person to seek its modification by the court in the future.
b.

Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of this

24

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

25

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

26

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

27

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

28

Order.
13
Louangamath v. Philips North America LLC,
et al.

Stipulation and Protective Order

c.

1

Filing Protected Material. Without written permission from the

2

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

3

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

4

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

5

with Civil Local Rule 79-5. Protected Material may only be filed under seal

6

pursuant to a court order authorizing the sealing of the specific Protected Material

7

at issue. Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 79-5, a sealing order will issue only upon a

8

request establishing that the Protected Material at issue is privileged, protectable as

9

a trade secret, or otherwise entitled to protection under the law. If a Receiving

10

Party's request to file Protected Material under seal pursuant to Civil Local Rule

11

79-5(d) is denied by the court, then the Receiving Party may file the information in

12

the public record pursuant to Civil Local Rule 79-5(e) unless otherwise instructed

13

by the court.

14

13.

FINAL DISPOSITION

15

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

16

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

17

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

18

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

19

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

20

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

21

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

22

to the Designating Party) by the 60 day deadline that (1) identifies (by category,

23

where appropriate) all the Protected Material that was returned or destroyed and

24

(2) affirms that the Receiving Party has not retained any copies, abstracts,

25

compilations, summaries or any other format reproducing or capturing any of the

26

Protected Material. Notwithstanding this provision, Counsel are entitled to retain

27

an archival copy of all pleadings, motion papers, trial, deposition, and hearing

28

transcripts, legal memoranda, correspondence, deposition and trial exhibits, expert
14
Louangamath v. Philips North America LLC,
et al.

Stipulation and Protective Order

1

reports, attorney work product, and consultant and expert work product, even if

2

such materials contain Protected Material. Any such archival copies that contain or

3

constitute Protected Material remain subject to this Protective Order as set forth in

4

Section 4 (DURATION).

IT IS SO STIPULATED, THROUGH COUNSEL OF RECORD.
