REGARDING DISCLOSURE AND
USE OF DISCOVERY MATERIALS

appropriate designation on every page of the written material prior to production. For digital
2
files being produced, the Producing Party may mark each viewable page or image with the
3
appropriate designation, and mark the medium, container, and/or communication in which the

deposition shall be deemed “CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” until the time
15
within which it may be appropriately designated as provided for herein has passed. Any Party
16
that wishes to disclose the transcript that has been deemed “CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’
17
EYES ONLY” as a result of no designation having been made on the record at the time the
18
testimony was given, or information contained therein, may provide written notice of its intent to
19
treat the transcript as non-confidential, after which time, any Party that wants to maintain any
20
21
portion of the transcript as confidential must designate the confidential portions within fourteen
22
(14) days, or else the transcript may be treated as non-confidential. Any Protected Material that
23
is used in the taking of a deposition shall remain subject to the provisions of this Protective Order,
24
along with the transcript pages of the deposition testimony dealing with such Protected Material.
25
In such cases the court reporter shall be informed of this Protective Order and shall be required
26
to operate in a manner consistent with this Protective Order. In the event the deposition is

DISCLOSURE AND REVIEW OF SOURCE CODE
(a)
The following provisions apply to the production of Source Code that is
12
13
14
15
designated “[PRODUCING PARTY’S] CONFIDENTIAL— OUTSIDE ATTORNEYS’ EYES
ONLY — SOURCE CODE,” unless otherwise agreed by the Producing Party:
(b)
All Source Code shall be made available by the Producing Party to the
16
Receiving Party in a secure room, on at least two secured, stand-alone computers (running a
17
reasonably current operating system) per software platform produced, without Internet access or
18
19
network access to other computers, as necessary and appropriate to prevent and protect against
any unauthorized copying, transmission, removal, or other transfer of any Source Code outside
20
21
or away from the computer on which the Source Code is provided for inspection (hereinafter
22
“Confidential Source Code Computer”). If it should be necessary, the Confidential Source Code
23
Computer may be configured by the Producing Party to run other mutually agreed upon
24
operating systems. Except as otherwise authorized by the Producing Party, no more than a total
25
of 25 individuals identified by the Receiving Party shall have access to the secure room in which
26
the Producing Party produces its Source Code.

(c)
The Producing Party shall install tools that are sufficient for viewing and
searching the code produced, on the platform produced, if such tools exist and are presently used
in the ordinary course of the Producing Party’s business. The Receiving Party’s outside counsel
4
and/or experts may request that commercially available software tools for viewing and searching
5
6
Source Code be installed on the secured computer, provided, however, that (a) the Receiving
7
Party possesses an appropriate license to such software tools; (b) the Producing Party approves
8
such software tools; and (c) such other software tools are reasonably necessary for the Receiving
9
Party to perform its review of the Source Code consistent with all of the protections herein. The
10
Receiving Party must provide the Producing Party with the CD or DVD containing such licensed
11
software tool(s) at least fourteen (14) days in advance of the date upon which the Receiving
12
Party wishes to have the additional software tools available for use on the Confidential Source
13
14
Code Computer. Specific tools may include but are not limited to: Visual Slick Edit, Source-
15
Navigator, PowerGrep, and ExamDiff Pro, or other similar programs. The Receiving Party shall
16
not at any time use any compilers, interpreters or simulators in connection with the Producing
17
Party’s Source Code.
18
19
(d)
The Producing Party shall make the Source Code available electronically
and in text searchable form in a secure room at the offices of the Producing Party’s outside
20
21
22
counsel as defined in paragraph 2(b) or any other location mutually agreed by the parties.
(e)
In order to verify that its Source Code has not later been altered, the
23
Producing Party may benchmark the materials before and after they are provided but shall not
24
install any keystroke or other monitoring software on the Confidential Source Code Computer.
25
26
(f)
The Confidential Source Code Computer shall be made available from
9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. local time, Monday through Friday (excluding holidays), and other days

and/or times, including weekends, upon reasonable request at least until the close of expert
2
discovery in this action. Access on weekends or after hours shall be permitted only on three
3
days’ advance written notice.
4
(g)
Prior to the first inspection of any requested piece of Source Code, the
5
6
requesting party shall provide fourteen (14) days notice of the Source Code that it wishes to
7
inspect. The requesting party shall provide two (2) days notice prior to any additional
8
inspections of the same Source Code, although the parties will be reasonable in accommodating
9
requests of less than two (2) days. The Receiving Party shall identify any individual who will be
10
given access to the Source Code at least ten (10) days prior to the first time any such individual
11
is given access to the Source Code, and, during that 10-day period, the Producing Party may
12
object to providing access to any persons so identified. The Receiving Party shall provide two (2)
13
14
days notice any time each such individual is given access to the Source Code after the first time,
15
although the parties will be reasonable in accommodating notice of less than two (2) days. If an
16
objection to an individual is made by the Producing Party, it will be the burden of the Producing
17
Party to prove that the individual should not be authorized to inspect the Producing Party's
18
19
Source Code.
(h)
Proper identification of all authorized persons shall be provided prior to
20
21
any access to the secure room or to the Confidential Source Code Computer. Proper
22
identification requires showing, at a minimum, a photo identification card sanctioned by the
23
government of any State of the United States, by the government of the United States, or by the
24
nation state of the authorized person’s current citizenship. Access to the secure room or the
25
Confidential Source Code Computer may be denied, at the discretion of the Producing Party, to
26
any individual who fails to provide proper identification.

(i)
The Confidential Source Code Computer shall be equipped with a printer
with commercially reasonable printing speeds to print copies of the Source Code on
(
watermarked pre-Bates numbered paper, which shall be provided by the Producing Party. The
4
Receiving Party may print limited portions of the Source Code only when reasonably necessary
5
6
to facilitate the Receiving Party’s preparation of court filings, expert reports, and trial exhibits,
7
and shall print only such portions as are relevant to the claims and defenses in the case and are
8
reasonably necessary for such purpose. The Receiving Party shall not print Source Code in order
9
to review blocks of Source Code elsewhere in the first instance, i.e., as an alternative to
10
11
reviewing that Source Code electronically on the Confidential Source Code Computer, as the
parties acknowledge and agree that the purpose of the protections herein would be frustrated by
12
13
14
printing portions of code for review and analysis elsewhere. If the Producing Party objects that
the printed portions are excessive and/or not done for a permitted purpose, the Producing Party
15
shall make such objection known to the Receiving Party within five (5) days. Printed portions
16
which exceed 50 continuous pages or 10% or more of a specific software release shall be
17
presumed excessive and not done for a permitted purpose. If, after meeting and conferring, the
18
19
Producing Party and the Receiving Party cannot resolve the objection, the Receiving Party shall
be entitled to seek the Court’s resolution of whether the printed Source Code in question is
20
21
narrowly tailored and was printed for a permitted purpose. The burden shall be on the Receiving
22
Party to demonstrate that such printed portions are no more than is reasonably necessary for a
23
permitted purpose and not merely printed for the purposes of review and analysis elsewhere.
24
Except as otherwise authorized by the Producing Party, no more than a total of 40 individuals
25
identified by the Receiving Party shall have access to the printed portions of Source Code
26
(except insofar as such code appears in any filing with the Court or expert report in this case).

The printed Source Code shall be labeled with “[PRODUCING
PARTY’S NAME] CONFIDENTIAL— OUTSIDE ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY — SOURCE
CODE.” Outside counsel for the Producing Party will keep the originals of these printed
4
documents, and copies shall be made for outside counsel for the Receiving Party on watermarked
5
6
paper within 48 hours. It is the responsibility of the Producing Party to ensure delivery of the
7
printed documents to outside counsel for the Receiving Party within 48 hours. The Receiving
8
Party’s outside counsel may make no more than ten (10) additional paper copies of any portions
9
of the Source Code received from a Producing Party, not including copies attached to court
10
11
filings or used at depositions.
(k)
In addition to other reasonable steps to maintain the security and
12
confidentiality of the Producing Party’s Source Code, printed copies of the Source Code
13
14
maintained by the Receiving Party must be kept in a locked storage container when not in use.

manner (including, by way of example only, the Receiving Party may not scan the Source Code
22
to a PDF or photograph the code). Images or copies of Source Code shall not be included in
23
correspondence between the parties (references to production numbers shall be used instead),
24
and shall be omitted from pleadings and other papers whenever possible. If a party reasonably
25
believes that it needs to submit a portion of Source Code as part of a filing with the Court, the
26
parties shall meet and confer as to how to make such a filing while protecting the confidentiality

REGARDING DISCLOSURE AND
USE OF DISCOVERY MATERIALS

of the Source Code and such filing will not be made absent agreement from the supplier that the
2
confidentiality protections will be adequate. If a Producing Party agrees to produce an electronic
3
copy of all or any portion of its Source Code or to provide written permission to the Receiving
4
Party to produce an electronic or any other copy of Source Code for purposes of a court filing,
5
6
the Receiving Party’s communication and/or disclosure of electronic files or other materials
7
containing any portion of Source Code (paper or electronic) shall at all times be limited solely to
8
individuals who are expressly authorized to view Source Code under the provisions of this
9
Order, and all such individuals must be identified, in accordance with paragraph 10(q), on the
10
11
Confidential Source Code Access Log as reviewers and/or recipients of paper copies. In the case
where the Producing Party has provided the express written permission required under this
12
provision for a Receiving Party to create electronic copies of Source Code, the electronic copies
13
14
shall be included on the log required by paragraph 10(q); and any other information required by
15
paragraph 11(q) shall be included on the log. Additionally, any such electronic copies must be
16
labeled “[PRODUCING PARTY’S NAME] CONFIDENTIAL — OUTSIDE ATTORNEYS’

(m)
For depositions, the Receiving Party shall not bring copies of any printed
Source Code. Rather, at least five (5) days before the date of the deposition, the Receiving Party
20
21
shall notify the Producing Party about the specific portions of Source Code it wishes to use at the
22
deposition, and the Producing Party shall bring printed copies of those portions to the deposition
23
for use by the Receiving Party. Copies of Source Code that are marked as deposition exhibits
24
shall not be provided to the court reporter or attached to deposition transcripts; rather, the
25
deposition record will identify the exhibit by its production numbers. All paper copies of Source

telephone jacks, or other devices be permitted inside the secure room. No non-electronic devices
9
capable of similar functionality shall be permitted in the secure room. The Receiving Party shall
10
be entitled to take notes relating to the Source Code but may not copy the Source Code into the
11
notes and may not take such notes electronically on the Confidential Source Code Computer
12
itself or any other computer. No copies of all or any portion of the Source Code may leave the
13
14
room in which the Source Code is inspected except as otherwise provided herein. Further, no
15
other written or electronic record of the Source Code is permitted except as otherwise provided
16
herein. The Producing Party may visually monitor the activities of the Receiving Party’s
17
representatives during any Source Code review, but only to ensure that no unauthorized records
18

as permitted by paragraph 10(l)) of the Source Code is viewed, the following additional
16
information: (i) the name of each person who viewed the Source Code; and (ii) whether any
17
portion of the Source Code was copied and, if so, what portion was copied. The Producing Party

years; (iv) an up-to-date curriculum vitae of the Person; and (v) a list of the cases in which the
2
Person has testified at deposition or trial within the last five (5) years. Said written notice shall
3
include an identification of any individual or entity with or for whom the person is employed or
4
to whom the person provides consulting services relating to the design, development, operation,
5
6
or patenting of mobile phones and tablet computers, or relating to the acquisition of intellectual
7
property assets relating to mobile phones and tablet computers. The Party seeking to disclose
8
Protected Material shall provide such other information regarding the Person’s professional
9
activities reasonably requested by the Producing Party for it to evaluate whether good cause
10
exists to object to the disclosure of Protected Material to the outside expert or consultant. During
11
the pendency of this action, including all appeals, the Party seeking to disclose Protected
12
Material shall immediately provide written notice of any change with respect to the Person’s
13
14
involvement in the design, development, operation or patenting of mobile phones and tablet
15
computers, or the acquisition of intellectual property assets relating to mobile phones and tablet
16
computers.
17
18
19
(b)
Within seven (7) days of receipt of the disclosure of the Person, the
Producing Party or Parties may object in writing to disclosure to the Person for good cause. In
the absence of an objection at the end of the seven (7) day period, the Person shall be deemed
20
21
approved under this Protective Order. There shall be no disclosure of Protected Material to the
22
Person prior to expiration of this seven (7) day period. If the Producing Party objects to
23
disclosure to the Person within such seven (7) day period, the Parties shall meet and confer via
24
telephone or in person within seven (7) days following the objection and attempt in good faith to
25
resolve the dispute on an informal basis. If the dispute is not resolved, the Party objecting to the
26
disclosure will have seven (7) days from the date of the meet and confer to seek relief from the
27
28
- 22 AGREED UPON PROTECTIVE ORDER
REGARDING DISCLOSURE AND
USE OF DISCOVERY MATERIALS

Court. If relief is not sought from the Court within that time, the objection shall be deemed
2
withdrawn. If relief is sought, designated materials shall not be disclosed to the Person in
3
question until the Court resolves the objection.
4
(c)
For purposes of this section, “good cause” shall include an objectively

Prior to receiving any Protected Material under this Order, the Person
must execute a copy of the “Agreement to Be Bound by Protective Order” (Exhibit A hereto) and
serve it on all Parties.
11
(e)
An initial failure to object to a Person under this Paragraph 12 shall not
12
preclude the non-objecting Party from later objecting to continued access to Protected Material
13
14
by that Person based on new facts or circumstances for good cause shown. In this event, a Party
15
must make a written objection to the other Party concerning the continued access of Protected
16
Material by that Person, and the Parties must meet and confer in good faith concerning such
17
objection. To the extent that the objection is unable to be resolved, the later-objecting Party must
18
19
present its objection to the Court for resolution within no later than five (5) days of making such
objection. Notwithstanding such objection, the designated Person may continue to have access
20

CHALLENGING DESIGNATIONS OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
(a)
A Party shall not be obligated to challenge the propriety of any

(b)
Any challenge to a designation of Discovery Material under this Order
shall be written, shall be served on outside counsel for the Producing Party, shall particularly
identify the documents or information that the Receiving Party contends should be differently
4
designated, and shall state the grounds for the objection. Thereafter, further protection of such
5
6
material shall be resolved in accordance with the following procedures:
(i)
7
The objecting Party shall have the burden of conferring either in
8
person, in writing, or by telephone with the Producing Party claiming protection (as well as any
9
other interested party) in a good faith effort to resolve the dispute. The Producing Party shall
10
have the burden of justifying the disputed designation;
11
(ii)
Failing agreement, the Receiving Party may bring a motion to the
12
Court for a ruling that the Discovery Material in question is not entitled to the status and
13
14
protection of the Producing Party’s designation. The Parties’ entry into this Order shall not
15
preclude or prejudice either Party from arguing for or against any designation, establish any
16
presumption that a particular designation is valid, or alter the burden of proof that would
17
otherwise apply in a dispute over discovery or disclosure of information;
18
19
(iii)
Notwithstanding any challenge to a designation, the Discovery
Material in question shall continue to be treated as designated under this Order until one of the
20
21
following occurs: (a) the Party who designated the Discovery Material in question withdraws
22
such designation in writing; or (b) the Court rules that the Discovery Material in question is
23
not entitled to the designation.

Absent written permission from the Producing Party or a court Order
8
secured after appropriate notice to all interested persons, a Receiving Party may not file in the
9
public record any Protected Material.
10
11
(b)
Any Receiving Party is authorized under Local Rule 79-5 to request the
filing under seal with the Court of any brief, document or materials that are designated as
12
Protected Material under this Order. Nothing in this section shall in any way limit or detract
13
14
15
16
17
18
19
from this Order’s requirements as to Source Code.
15.
INADVERTENT DISCLOSURE OF PRIVILEGED MATERIAL
(a)
The inadvertent production by a Party of Discovery Material subject to the
attorney-client privilege, work-product protection, or any other applicable privilege or
protection, despite the Producing Party’s reasonable efforts to prescreen such Discovery Material
prior to production, will not waive the applicable privilege and/or protection if a notice and
20
21
22
23
request for return of such inadvertently produced Discovery Material is made promptly after the
Producing Party learns of its inadvertent production.
(b)
Upon a notice and request from any Producing Party who has
24
inadvertently produced Discovery Material that it believes is privileged and/or protected, each
25
Receiving Party shall immediately return within five (5) days of such notice and request such
26
Protected Material or Discovery Material and all copies to the Producing Party, except for any
27
28
- 25 AGREED UPON PROTECTIVE ORDER
REGARDING DISCLOSURE AND
USE OF DISCOVERY MATERIALS

pages containing privileged markings by the Receiving Party which shall instead be destroyed and
2
certified as such by the Receiving Party to the Producing Party.
3
(c)
Within five (5) days of the Producing Party’s notice and request for the
4
return and/or destruction of privileged Discovery Material, the Producing Party shall provide a
5
6
privilege log with entries for the inadvertently produced document(s). The Producing Party shall
7
maintain the referenced document(s) until the Parties resolve any dispute concerning the
8
privileged nature of such documents or the Court rules on any motion to compel production of
9
such documents. If a dispute arises concerning the privileged nature of the document(s)
10
demanded or returned, the Parties shall meet and confer in good faith in an effort to resolve the
11
dispute. If the Parties are unable to resolve the dispute, the Receiving Party may file a motion to
12
compel the production of such document(s). In the event of such a motion to compel, the
13
14
Producing Party shall have the burden to demonstrate the claimed privilege, work product
15
immunity or other immunity. However, in no case will the return of any demanded document be
16
delayed or refused by reason of a party’s objection to the demand or by the filing of a motion to
17
compel, nor may a party assert the fact of the inadvertent production as a ground for any such
18
19
motion. The Parties further agree that the Receiving Party will not use or refer to any information
contained within the document(s) at issue, including in deposition or at trial or in any Court
20
21
22

INADVERTENT FAILURE TO DESIGNATE PROPERLY
(a)
The inadvertent failure by a Producing Party to designate Discovery
Material as Protected Material with one of the designations provided for under this Order shall
not waive any such designation provided that the Producing Party notifies all Receiving Parties

fourteen (14) days of the Producing Party learning of the inadvertent failure to designate. The

(b)
A Receiving Party shall not be in breach of this Order for any use of such

Discovery Material before the Receiving Party receives the notice described in Paragraph 16(a),
10
unless an objectively reasonable person would have realized that the Discovery Material should
11
have been appropriately designated with a confidentiality designation under this Order. Once a

Receiving Party promptly shall collect any copies that have been provided to individuals so that
23
they can be re-labeled with the “CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” or

all reasonable measures to retrieve the improperly disclosed Discovery Material and to ensure
17
that no further or greater unauthorized disclosure and/or use thereof is made

Materials retained in tape, floppy disk, optical disk or similar formats
22
primarily for back-up or disaster recovery purposes should be considered not reasonably

accessible under Rule 26(b)(2) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and, accordingly, should
24
not be subject to production unless specific facts demonstrate a particular need for such evidence
25
that justifies the burden of retrieval. Archives stored on computer servers, external hard drives,
26

4
regard to preservation of such "tape, floppy disk, optical disk or similar formats primarily for
5
6
7
8
back-up or disaster recovery purposes" that it does not otherwise exercise when not in
anticipation of litigation (e.g., recycling of backup tapes is permitted).

CROSS-REFERENCE AND USE OF DISCOVERY MATERIALS
9
Documents that have been or are produced (with appropriate Bates numbers) in
10
the below-referenced pending United States proceedings involving Apple and Samsung are
11
deemed produced in the above-captioned action, and neither party shall be deemed to have
12
13
14
violated a protective order in the below listed matters by using such documents in the abovecaptioned action:
In the Matter of Certain Electronic Devices, Including Wireless
15
Communication Devices, Portable Music and Data Processing Devices, and Tablet Computers,
16
USITC Inv. No. 337-TA-794, and In the Matter of Certain Electronic Digital Media Devices and
17
Components Thereof, USITC Inv. No. 337-TA-796. Any document produced by a Party in the
18
19
one of the aforementioned proceedings shall be used and treated with the same level of
confidentiality for purposes of this action (e.g., a document designated by a Party as
20
21
“Confidential Business Information” shall be treated as “CONFIDENTIAL –ATTORNEYS’
22
EYES ONLY” in this action). This paragraph shall not extend to cross-use of confidential
23
materials produced by third parties in such matters. This cross-use provision also does not apply
24
to other forms of discovery, including, without limitation, deposition transcripts and videos,
25
deposition exhibits, expert reports and responses to interrogatories or requests for admission.
26
Nothing in this paragraph, however, prohibits a party from seeking such other forms of discovery

MISCELLANEOUS
5
6
(a)
Right to Further Relief. Nothing in this Order abridges the right of any
7
person to seek its modification by the Court in the future. By stipulating to this Order, the
8
Parties do not waive the right to argue that certain material may require additional or different
9
confidentiality protections than those set forth herein.
10
11
(b)
Termination of Matter and Retention of Jurisdiction. The Parties agree
that the terms of this Protective Order shall survive and remain in effect after the Final
12
Disposition of the above-captioned matter.
The Court shall retain jurisdiction after Final
13
14
15
Disposition of this matter to hear and resolve any disputes arising out of this Protective Order.
(c)
Successors. This Order shall be binding upon the Parties hereto, their
16
attorneys, and their successors, executors, personal representatives, administrators, heirs, legal
17
representatives, assigns, subsidiaries, divisions, employees, agents, retained consultants and
18
19
experts, and any persons or organizations over which they have direct control.
(d)
Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of this
20
21
Protective Order, no Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to disclosing or
22
producing any information or item. Similarly, no Party waives any right to object on any ground
23
to use in evidence of any of the material covered by this Protective Order. This Order shall not
24
constitute a waiver of the right of any Party to claim in this action or otherwise that any
25
Discovery Material, or any portion thereof, is privileged or otherwise non-discoverable, or is not
26
admissible in evidence in this action or any other proceeding.

(e)
Burdens of Proof.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above,
nothing in this Protective Order shall be construed to change the burdens of proof or legal
standards applicable in disputes regarding whether particular Discovery Material is confidential,
4
which level of confidentiality is appropriate, whether disclosure should be restricted, and if so,
5
6
7
what restrictions should apply.
(f)
Modification by Court. This Order is subject to further court order based
8
upon public policy or other considerations, and the Court may modify this Order sua sponte in
9
the interests of justice. The United States District Court for the Northern District of California is
10
11
responsible for the interpretation and enforcement of this Order.
All disputes concerning
Protected Material, however designated, produced under the protection of this Order shall be
12
resolved by the United States District Court for the Northern District of California.

(g)
Discovery Rules Remain Unchanged. Nothing herein shall alter or change
15
in any way the discovery provisions of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the Local Rules for
16
the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, or the Court’s own
17
orders. Identification of any individual pursuant to this Protective Order does not make that
18
19
individual available for deposition or any other form of discovery outside of the restrictions and
procedures of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the Local Rules for the United States District
20
21
22
Court for the Northern District of California, or the Court’s own orders.
(h)
Supersession of Any Protective Orders. Except as otherwise set forth in
23
this paragraph, this Protective Order supersedes any protective orders referenced by the Parties
24
as applying to material disclosed before the entry of this Protective Order. Any discovery
25
material disclosed by any Party before the entry of this Protective Order shall retain whatever
26
confidentiality designation it originally bore. Such Protected Material that was designated as

previously designated as "HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – SOURCE CODE" pursuant to either or
8
both of those prior orders shall be treated as if they were designated “CONFIDENTIAL -
9
OUTSIDE ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY - SOURCE CODE." In addition, any expert disclosed

pursuant to Paragraph 7.4(a)(2) of the Interim Protective Order shall be deemed to have been
