counterclaim-plaintiffs Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., Samsung Electronics America, Inc., and

5

Samsung Telecommunications America, LLC (collectively, “Samsung”) (collectively referred to

herein as the “Parties”) anticipate that documents, testimony, or information containing or
reflecting confidential, proprietary, trade secret, and/or commercially sensitive information

9

are likely to be disclosed or produced during the course of discovery, initial disclosures, and

10

supplemental disclosures in this case and request that the Court enter this Order setting forth

11

the conditions for treating, obtaining, and using such information.

Pursuant to Rule 26(c) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the Court finds
good cause for the following Agreed Protective Order Regarding the Disclosure and Use of
Discovery Materials (“Order” or “Protective Order”).
1.

PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS
(a)

17

Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, Protected Material designated

18

under the terms of this Protective Order shall be used by a Receiving Party solely for this case,

19

and shall not be used directly or indirectly for any other purpose whatsoever.

20
21
22
23
24

(b)

The Parties acknowledge that this Order does not confer blanket

protections on all disclosures during discovery, or in the course of making initial or supplemental
disclosures under Rule 26(a). Designations under this Order shall be made with care and shall
not be made absent a good faith belief that the designated material satisfies the criteria set forth

25

below. If it comes to a Producing Party’s attention that designated material does not qualify for

26

protection at all, or does not qualify for the level of protection initially asserted, the Producing

27

Party must promptly notify all other Parties that it is withdrawing or changing the designation.

(b)

Written Discovery and Documents and Tangible Things.

Written

discovery, documents (which include “electronically stored information,” as that phrase is used
in Federal Rule of Procedure 34), and tangible things that meet the requirements for the
confidentiality designations listed in Paragraph 7(a) may be so designated by placing the
appropriate designation on every page of the written material prior to production. For digital

7

files being produced, the Producing Party may mark each viewable page or image with the

8

appropriate designation, and mark the medium, container, and/or communication in which the

9

digital files were contained. In the event that original documents are produced for inspection, the

10

original documents shall be presumed “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES

11
12

ONLY” during the inspection and re-designated, as appropriate during the copying process.
(c)

13

Depositions and Testimony. Parties or testifying persons or entities may

14

designate depositions and other testimony with the appropriate designation by indicating on the

15

record at the time the testimony is given or by sending written notice of how portions of the

16

transcript of the testimony are designated within twenty one (21) days of receipt of the transcript

17

of the testimony. If no indication on the record is made, all information disclosed during a

18
19
20
21

deposition shall be deemed “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” until
the time within which it may be appropriately designated as provided for herein has passed. Any
Party that wishes to disclose the transcript that has been deemed “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL –

22

ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” as a result of no designation having been made on the record at

23

the time the testimony was given, or information contained therein, may provide written notice

24

of its intent to treat the transcript as non-confidential, after which time, any Party that wants to

25

maintain any portion of the transcript as confidential must designate the confidential portions

26
27
28

within fourteen (14) days, or else the transcript may be treated as non-confidential.

(a)

The following provisions apply to the production of Source Code that is

designated “[PRODUCING PARTY’S]HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL— OUTSIDE
ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY — SOURCE CODE,” unless otherwise agreed by the Producing
Party:
(b)

7

All Source Code shall be made available by the Producing Party to the

8

Receiving Party in a secure room, on at least two secured, stand-alone computers (running a

9

reasonably current operating system) per software platform produced, without Internet access or

10

network access to other computers, as necessary and appropriate to prevent and protect against

11
12
13
14

any unauthorized copying, transmission, removal, or other transfer of any Source Code outside
or away from the computer on which the Source Code is provided for inspection (hereinafter
“Confidential Source Code Computer”). If it should be necessary, the Confidential Source Code

15

Computer may be configured by the Producing Party to run other mutually agreed upon

16

operating systems. Except as otherwise authorized by the Producing Party, no more than a total

17

of 25 individuals identified by the Receiving Party shall have access to the secure room in which

18

the Producing Party produces its Source Code.

19
20
21

(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

22

in the ordinary course of the Producing Party’s business. The Receiving Party’s outside counsel

23

and/or experts may request that commercially available software tools for viewing and searching

24

Source Code be installed on the secured computer, provided, however, that (a) the Receiving

25

Party possesses an appropriate license to such software tools; (b) the Producing Party approves

26

such software tools; and (c) such other software tools are reasonably necessary for the Receiving

Party to perform its review of the Source Code consistent with all of the protections herein. The

2

Receiving Party must provide the Producing Party with the CD or DVD containing such licensed

3
4
5
6

software tool(s) at least fourteen (14) days in advance of the date upon which the Receiving
Party wishes to have the additional software tools available for use on the Confidential Source
Code Computer. Specific tools may include but are not limited to: Visual Slick Edit, Source-

7

Navigator, PowerGrep, and ExamDiff Pro, or other similar programs. The Receiving Party shall

8

not at any time use any compilers, interpreters or simulators in connection with the Producing

9

Party’s Source Code.

10
11
12
13

(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
counsel as defined in paragraph 2(b) or any other location mutually agreed by the parties.
(e)

14

In order to verify that its Source Code has not later been altered, the

15

Producing Party may benchmark the materials before and after they are provided but shall not

16

install any keystroke or other monitoring software on the Confidential Source Code Computer.

17
18
19

(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
discovery in this action. Access on weekends or after hours shall be permitted only on three
days’ advance written notice.
(g)

23

Prior to the first inspection of any requested piece of Source Code, the

24

requesting party shall provide fourteen (14) days notice of the Source Code that it wishes to

25

inspect. The requesting party shall provide two (2) days notice prior to any additional

26

inspections of the same Source Code, although the parties will be reasonable in accommodating

2

given access to the Source Code at least ten (10) days prior to the first time any such individual

3
4
5
6

is given access to the Source Code, and, during that 10-day period, the Producing Party may
object to providing access to any persons so identified. The Receiving Party shall provide two (2)
days notice any time each such individual is given access to the Source Code after the first time,

7

although the parties will be reasonable in accommodating notice of less than two (2) days. If an

8

objection to an individual is made by the Producing Party, it will be the burden of the Producing

9

Party to prove that the individual should not be authorized to inspect the Producing Party's

10

Source Code.

11
12
13
14

(h)

Proper identification of all authorized persons shall be provided prior to

any access to the secure room or to the Confidential Source Code Computer. Proper
identification requires showing, at a minimum, a photo identification card sanctioned by the

15

government of any State of the United States, by the government of the United States, or by the

16

nation state of the authorized person’s current citizenship. Access to the secure room or the

17

Confidential Source Code Computer may be denied, at the discretion of the Producing Party, to

18

any individual who fails to provide proper identification.

19

(i)

20
21

The Confidential Source Code Computer shall be equipped with a printer

with commercially reasonable printing speeds to print copies of the Source Code on

(

22

watermarked pre-Bates numbered paper, which shall be provided by the Producing Party. The

23

Receiving Party may print limited portions of the Source Code only when reasonably necessary

24

to facilitate the Receiving Party’s preparation of court filings, expert reports, and trial exhibits,

25

and shall print only such portions as are relevant to the claims and defenses in the case and are

26

reasonably necessary for such purpose. The Receiving Party shall not print Source Code in order

to review blocks of Source Code elsewhere in the first instance, i.e., as an alternative to

2

reviewing that Source Code electronically on the Confidential Source Code Computer, as the

3
4
5
6

parties acknowledge and agree that the purpose of the protections herein would be frustrated by
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

7

shall make such objection known to the Receiving Party within five (5) days. Printed portions

8

which exceed 50 continuous pages or 10% or more of a specific software release shall be

9

presumed excessive and not done for a permitted purpose. If, after meeting and conferring, the

10

Producing Party and the Receiving Party cannot resolve the objection, the Receiving Party shall

11
12
13
14

be entitled to seek the Court’s resolution of whether the printed Source Code in question is
narrowly tailored and was printed for a permitted purpose. The burden shall be on the Receiving
Party to demonstrate that such printed portions are no more than is reasonably necessary for a

15

permitted purpose and not merely printed for the purposes of review and analysis elsewhere.

16

Except as otherwise authorized by the Producing Party, no more than a total of 40 individuals

17

identified by the Receiving Party shall have access to the printed portions of Source Code

18

(except insofar as such code appears in any filing with the Court or expert report in this case).

19
20
21

(j)

The printed Source Code shall be labeled with “[PRODUCING

PARTY’S NAME] HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL— OUTSIDE ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY —

23

printed documents, and copies shall be made for outside counsel for the Receiving Party on

24

watermarked paper within 48 hours. It is the responsibility of the Producing Party to ensure

25

delivery of the printed documents to outside counsel for the Receiving Party within 48 hours.

Except as provided herein, absent express written permission from the

Producing Party, the Receiving Party may not create electronic images, or any other images, or
make electronic copies, of the Source Code from any paper copy of Source Code for use in any
manner (including, by way of example only, the Receiving Party may not scan the Source Code
to a PDF or photograph the code). Images or copies of Source Code shall not be included in

15

correspondence between the parties (references to production numbers shall be used instead),

16

and shall be omitted from pleadings and other papers whenever possible. If a party reasonably

17

believes that it needs to submit a portion of Source Code as part of a filing with the Court, the

18
19
20
21

parties shall meet and confer as to how to make such a filing while protecting the confidentiality
of the Source Code and such filing will not be made absent agreement from the supplier that the
confidentiality protections will be adequate. If a Producing Party agrees to produce an electronic

22

copy of all or any portion of its Source Code or to provide written permission to the Receiving

23

Party to produce an electronic or any other copy of Source Code for purposes of a court filing,

24

the Receiving Party’s communication and/or disclosure of electronic files or other materials

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
shall notify the Producing Party about the specific portions of Source Code it wishes to use at the
deposition, and the Producing Party shall bring printed copies of those portions to the deposition

15

for use by the Receiving Party. Copies of Source Code that are marked as deposition exhibits

(b)

8

Within seven (7) days of receipt of the disclosure of the Person, the

9

Producing Party or Parties may object in writing to disclosure to the Person for good cause. In

10

the absence of an objection at the end of the seven (7) day period, the Person shall be deemed

11

dispute. If the Parties are unable to resolve the dispute, the Receiving Party may file a motion to

8

compel the production of such document(s). In the event of such a motion to compel, the

9

Producing Party shall have the burden to demonstrate the claimed privilege, work product

10

immunity or other immunity. However, in no case will the return of any demanded document be

11
12
13
14

delayed or refused by reason of a party’s objection to the demand or by the filing of a motion to
compel, nor may a party assert the fact of the inadvertent production as a ground for any such
motion. The Parties further agree that the Receiving Party will not use or refer to any information

15

contained within the document(s) at issue, including in deposition or at trial or in any Court

16

filing, unless and until such a motion to compel production of that document is granted by a

17

Court, except as such information may appear in any applicable privilege log.

16.17. INADVERTENT FAILURE TO DESIGNATE PROPERLY

19
20
21

(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

22

not waive any such designation provided that the Producing Party notifies all Receiving Parties

23

that such Discovery Material is protected under one of the categories of this Order within

24

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

25

Producing Party shall reproduce the Protected Material with the correct confidentiality

26

designation within seven (7) days upon its notification to the Receiving Parties. Upon receiving

(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
1617(a), unless an objectively reasonable person would have realized that the Discovery Material

7

should have been appropriately designated with a confidentiality designation under this Order.

8

Once a Receiving Party has received the Protected Material with the correct confidentiality

9

designation, the Receiving Party shall treat such Discovery Material (subject to the exception in

10

Paragraph 176(c) below) at the appropriately designated level pursuant to the terms of this Order.

“HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – OUTSIDE ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY – SOURCE CODE”

may be so designated subsequent to production when the Producing Party failed to make such

16

designation at the time of production through inadvertence or error. If Discovery Material is

17

designated subsequent to production, the Receiving Party promptly shall collect any copies that

18
19
20
21

have been provided to individuals so that they can be re-labeled with the “CONFIDENTIAL,”
“HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL

22

the above, such subsequent designation of “CONFIDENTIAL,” “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL –

23

ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – OUTSIDE ATTORNEYS’

24

EYES ONLY – SOURCE CODE” shall apply on a going forward basis and shall not disqualify

(a)

7

In the event of a disclosure of any Discovery Material pursuant to this

8

Order to any person or persons not authorized to receive such disclosure under this Protective

9

Order, the Party responsible for having made such disclosure, and each Party with knowledge

10

thereof, shall immediately notify counsel for the Producing Party whose Discovery Material has

11
12
13
14
15

been disclosed and provide to such counsel all known relevant information concerning the nature
and circumstances of the disclosure. The responsible disclosing Party shall also promptly take
all reasonable measures to retrieve the improperly disclosed Discovery Material and to ensure
that no further or greater unauthorized disclosure and/or use thereof is made

Unauthorized or inadvertent disclosure does not change the status of

Discovery Material or waive the right to hold the disclosed document or information as

21

Not later than ninety (90) days after the Final Disposition of this case,

22

each Party shall return all Discovery Material of a Producing Party to the respective outside

23

counsel of the Producing Party or destroy such Material, at the option of the Producing Party.

or notes taken by experts retained to testify in this litigation, whether those reports, declarations,
affidavits, or notes relate to this litigation, to any prior litigation, or to any currently pending

communications, whether generated in connection with this litigation, a prior litigation, or any

16

currently pending investigation, litigation or proceeding involving any of the Parties, except for

17

documents, information and things included in or attached to such communications that are

18

directly relied upon by the expert in his or her expert report, declaration, affidavit, or testimony.

19

(b)

Except where a draft was produced as the only available copy, the Parties

will not inquire at deposition or trial as to the contents of drafts of expert reports, declarations or

affidavits, nor notes pertaining thereto, whether drafted in connection with this litigation, a prior

23

litigation, or any currently pending investigation, litigation or proceeding involving any of the

Parties, and the Parties will not inquire at deposition or at trial as to the expert’s communications,

The Parties agree that no voicemail, instant messages, text messages, or

materials that may be archived and/or retained in tape, floppy disc, optical disc or similar media

15

for backup or disaster recovery shall be searched for or produced unless good cause for the

production can be shown, and further subject to the Producing Party’s claim of undue burden or

(b)

Materials retained in tape, floppy disk, optical disk or similar formats

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

that justifies the burden of retrieval. Archives stored on computer servers, external hard drives,

notebooks, or personal computer hard drives that are created for disaster recovery purposes and

21.22. CROSS-REFERENCE AND USE OF DISCOVERY MATERIALS

7

Documents that have been or are produced (with appropriate Bates numbers) in

8

the below-referenced pending United States proceedings involving Apple and Samsung are

9

deemed produced in the above-captioned action, and neither party shall be deemed to have

10

violated a protective order in the below listed matters by using such documents in the above-

11
12
13
14

captioned action:

In the Matter of Certain Electronic Devices, Including Wireless

Communication Devices, Portable Music and Data Processing Devices, and Tablet Computers,
USITC Inv. No. 337-TA-794, and In the Matter of Certain Electronic Digital Media Devices and

15

Components Thereof, USITC Inv. No. 337-TA-796. Any document produced by a Party in the

16

one of the aforementioned proceedings shall be used and treated with the same level of

17

confidentiality for purposes of this action (e.g., a document designated by a Party as

18
19
20
21

“Confidential Business Information” shall be treated as “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL –
ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” in this action) as an initial matter, but may be re-designated
pursuant to Paragraph 13 of this Order.. This paragraph shall not extend to cross-use of

22

confidential materials produced by third parties in such matters. This cross-use provision also

23

does not apply to other forms of discovery, including, without limitation, deposition transcripts

24

and videos, deposition exhibits, expert reports and responses to interrogatories or requests for

25

admission. Nothing in this paragraph, however, prohibits a party from seeking such other forms

26

of discovery through service of formal discovery requests in this action. Any costs incurred in

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. By stipulating to this Order, the

7

Parties do not waive the right to argue that certain material may require additional or different

8

confidentiality protections than those set forth herein.

9
10
11
12
13

(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
Disposition of the above-captioned matter.

The Court shall retain jurisdiction after Final

Disposition of this matter to hear and resolve any disputes arising out of this Protective Order.
(c)

14

Successors. This Order shall be binding upon the Parties hereto, their

15

attorneys, and their successors, executors, personal representatives, administrators, heirs, legal

16

representatives, assigns, subsidiaries, divisions, employees, agents, retained consultants and

17

experts, and any persons or organizations over which they have direct control.

18
19
20
21

(d)

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

Protective Order, no Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to disclosing or
producing any information or item. Similarly, no Party waives any right to object on any ground

22

to use in evidence of any of the material covered by this Protective Order. This Order shall not

23

constitute a waiver of the right of any Party to claim in this action or otherwise that any

24

Discovery Material, or any portion thereof, is privileged or otherwise non-discoverable, or is not

25

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,
which level of confidentiality is appropriate, whether disclosure should be restricted, and if so,
what restrictions should apply.
(f)

7

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
resolved by the United States District Court for the Northern District of California.

14

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

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
Court for the Northern District of California, or the Court’s own orders.

22

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

confidentiality designation it originally bore. Such Protected Material that was designated as
