Pursuant to the Court’s Order dated December 20, 2013, the Plaintiff Brandywine
Communications Technologies LLC (“Plaintiff” or “Brandywine”) and Defendants AT&T Corp.
and SBC Internet Services, Inc. (jointly “Defendants”), hereby stipulate to and respectfully petition
the Court to enter the following Protocol:
1.

To the extent Plaintiff’s expert, Dr. Nicholas Burd, wishes to access materials

designated by Defendants as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL OUTSIDE
COUNSEL ONLY” (“the Documents”) outside the United States, Dr. Burd may do so only using a
secure portal established using Relativity® software provided by kCura.
2.

The Relativity database on which the Documents are hosted (“Relativity Database”)

shall physically reside in the United States.
3.

The Relativity Database shall be maintained by either Plaintiff or Defendants, and

not by Dr. Burd.
4.

The Relativity Database shall be configured by the host such that Dr. Burd is not

physically able to download, print, copy, or otherwise save the documents outside the United
States. Dr. Burd’s access shall be limited such that he is only able to view the documents on a
screen, without creating a copy of any kind of all or part of the documents, in hard or soft copy.
