Defendants and Counterclaimants (collectively, "Samsung") have moved the Court for a protective order pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(c) forbidding Plaintiffs and Counterdefendants (collectively, "AMD") from taking discovery regarding Samsung processors in connection with U.S. Patent No. 5,545,592 ("the `592 patent"). Having considered the parties' arguments, and finding discovery regarding Samsung processors in connection with the `592 patent both irrelevant and unduly burdensome, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that AMD is prohibited from taking such discovery.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
