PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS
23
Disclosure and discovery activity in this action are likely to involve production of

confidential, proprietary, or private information for which special protection from public
25
disclosure and from use for any purpose other than prosecuting this litigation may be warranted.
26
Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to and petition the Court to enter the following
27
Stipulated Protective Order. The parties acknowledge that this Order does not confer blanket

public disclosure and use extends only to the limited information or items that are entitled to
2
confidential treatment under the applicable legal principles. The parties further acknowledge, as
3
set forth in Section 14.4 below, that this Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle them to file
4
confidential information under seal; Civil Local Rule 79-5 sets forth the procedures that must be

PROTECTIVE ORDER
Case No.: 5:13-cv-05808-BLF

5.
DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL
5.1
Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection. Each Party
3
or Non-Party that designates information or items for protection under this Order must take care
4
to limit any such designation to specific material that qualifies under the appropriate standards.
5
To the extent it is practical to do so, the Designating Party must designate for protection only
6
those parts of material, documents, items, or oral or written communications that qualify – so that
7
other portions of the material, documents, items, or communications for which protection is not
8
warranted are not swept unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order.
9
Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations that are
10
shown to be clearly unjustified or that have been made for an improper purpose (e.g., to
11
unnecessarily encumber or retard the case development process or to impose unnecessary
12
expenses and burdens on other parties) expose the Designating Party to sanctions.
13
If it comes to a Designating Party’s attention that information or items that it designated
14
for protection do not qualify for protection at all or do not qualify for the level of protection
15
initially asserted, that Designating Party must promptly notify all other Parties that it is
16
withdrawing the mistaken designation.
17
5.2
Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in this Order
18
(see, e.g., second paragraph of Section 5.2(a) below), or as otherwise stipulated or ordered,
19
Disclosure or Discovery Material that qualifies for protection under this Order must be clearly so
20
designated before the material is disclosed or produced. Designation in conformity with this
21
Order requires:
22
(a)
for information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic documents, but
23
excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial proceedings), that the Producing
24
Party affix the legend “CONFIDENTIAL,” “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’
25
EYES ONLY,” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY – SOURCE
26
CODE” to each page of a document or portion of a document that contains Protected Material.
27
28
A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents or materials available for inspection
need not designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has indicated which
5
STIPULATED AMENDED
PROTECTIVE ORDER
Case No.: 5:13-cv-05808-BLF
1
material it would like copied and produced. During the inspection and before the designation, all
2
of the material made available for inspection shall be deemed “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL –
3
ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,” or if the material is Source Code, “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL –
4
ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY – SOURCE CODE.” After the inspecting Party has identified the
5
documents it wants copied and produced, the Producing Party must determine which documents,
6
or portions thereof, qualify for protection under this Order. Then, before producing the specified
7
documents, the Producing Party must affix the appropriate legend (“CONFIDENTIAL,”
8
“HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL
9
– ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY – SOURCE CODE”) to each page of a document that contains
10
Protected Material.
11
(b)
for testimony given in deposition or in other pretrial or trial proceedings, that the
12
Designating Party identify on the record, before the close of the deposition, hearing, or other
13
proceeding, or within 21 days thereafter in a written notice to the other Party, all protected
14
testimony and specify the level of protection being asserted. Only those portions of the testimony
15
that are appropriately designated for protection within the 21 days shall be covered by the
16
provisions of this Stipulated Protective Order. Alternatively, a Designating Party may specify, at
17
the deposition, hearing or other proceeding, or up to 21 days afterwards in writing, that the entire
18
transcript shall be treated as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL –
19
ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.”
20
During a deposition, hearing, or other proceeding, when counsel deems that the answer to
21
a question may result in the disclosure of Protected Material of that counsel’s client, counsel may
22
request that any persons present who are not authorized pursuant to Section 7 leave the
23
deposition, hearing, or other proceeding during the confidential portion thereof. The use of a
24
document as an exhibit at a deposition, hearing, or other proceeding shall not in any way affect its
25
designation as “CONFIDENTIAL,” “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES
26
ONLY,” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY – SOURCE CODE.”
27
Transcripts containing Protected Material shall have an obvious legend on the title page
28
that the transcript contains Protected Material, and the title page shall be followed by a list of all
6
STIPULATED AMENDED
PROTECTIVE ORDER
Case No.: 5:13-cv-05808-BLF
1
pages (including line numbers as appropriate) that have been designated as Protected Material and
2
the level of protection being asserted by the Designating Party. The Designating Party shall
3
inform the court reporter of these requirements. Any transcript that is prepared before the
4
expiration of the 21-day period for designation shall be treated during that period as if it had been
5
designated “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” in its entirety unless
6
otherwise agreed. After the expiration of that period, the transcript shall be treated only as
7
actually designated.
(c)
8
9
for information produced in some form other than documentary and for any other
tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on the exterior of the container
10
or containers in which the information or item is stored the legend “CONFIDENTIAL,”
11
“HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL
12
– ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY – SOURCE CODE.” If only a portion or portions of the
13
information or item warrant protection, the Producing Party, to the extent practicable, shall
14
identify the protected portion(s) and specify the level of protection being asserted.
5.3
15
Inadvertent Failures to Designate. An inadvertent failure to designate qualified
16
information or items does not, standing alone, waive the Designating Party’s right to secure
17
protection under this Order for such material. Upon the reasonably timely correction of a
18
designation, the Receiving Party must make reasonable efforts to assure that the material is
19
treated in accordance with the provisions of this Order. If at the time of such correction, the
20
Receiving Party has already disclosed the Protected Material in a manner inconsistent with the
21
corrected designation, the Receiving Party shall comply with the procedures set forth at Section
22
12.1.
23
6.
24
CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS
6.1
Timing of Challenges. Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a designation of
25
confidentiality at any time. Unless a prompt challenge to a Designating Party’s confidentiality
26
designation is necessary to avoid foreseeable, substantial and unnecessary unfairness, economic
27
burdens, or disruption or delay of the litigation, a Party does not waive its right to challenge a
28
confidentiality designation by electing not to mount a challenge promptly after the original
7
STIPULATED AMENDED
PROTECTIVE ORDER
Case No.: 5:13-cv-05808-BLF
1
2
designation is disclosed.
6.2
Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute resolution
3
process by providing written notice of each designation it is challenging and describing the basis
4
for each challenge. To avoid ambiguity as to whether a challenge has been made, the written
5
notice must recite that the challenge to confidentiality is being made in accordance with this
6
specific paragraph of the Protective Order. The parties shall attempt to resolve each challenge in
7
good faith and must begin the process by conferring directly (in voice to voice dialogue; other
8
forms of communication are not sufficient) within 14 days of the date of service of notice. In
9
conferring, the Challenging Party must explain the basis for its belief that the confidentiality
10
designation was not proper and must give the Designating Party an opportunity to review the
11
designated material, to reconsider the circumstances, and, if no change in designation is offered,
12
to explain the basis for the chosen designation. A Challenging Party may proceed to the next
13
stage of the challenge process only if it has engaged in this meet and confer process first or
14
establishes that the Designating Party is unwilling to participate in the meet and confer process in
15
a timely manner.
16
6.3
Judicial Intervention. If the Parties cannot resolve a challenge without court
17
intervention they shall comply with the undersigned’s Standing Order re Civil Discovery
18
Disputes (and with Civil Local Rule 79-5, if applicable). In each Discovery Dispute Joint Report
19
(DDJR), the parties must attest that they have complied with the meet and confer requirements
20
imposed in the preceding paragraph. Failure by the Designating Party to seek court intervention
21
within the time period set out in the Standing Order, Section D shall automatically waive the
22
confidentiality designation for each challenged designation. In addition, the Challenging Party
23
may seek relief with respect to a confidentiality designation at any time if there is good cause for
24
doing so, including a challenge to the designation of a deposition transcript or any portions
25
thereof. In any DDJR brought pursuant to this provision the parties must attest that they have
26
complied with the meet and confer requirements imposed by the preceding paragraph.
27
28
The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on the Designating
Party. Frivolous challenges and those made for an improper purpose (e.g., to harass or impose
8
STIPULATED AMENDED
PROTECTIVE ORDER
Case No.: 5:13-cv-05808-BLF
1
unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the Challenging Party to
2
sanctions. Unless the Designating Party has waived the confidentiality designation by failing to
3
file a motion to retain confidentiality as described above, all parties shall continue to afford the
4
material in question the level of protection to which it is entitled under the Producing Party’s
5
designation until the Court rules on the challenge.
6
7.
7
ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
7.1
Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is disclosed or
8
produced by another Party or by a Non-Party in connection with this case only for prosecuting,
9
defending, or attempting to settle this litigation. Such Protected Material may be disclosed only to
10
the categories of persons and under the conditions described in this Order. When the litigation has
11
been terminated, a Receiving Party must comply with the provisions of Section 15 below (FINAL
12
DISPOSITION).
13
Protected Material must be stored and maintained by a Receiving Party at a location and
14
in a secure manner that ensures that access is limited to the persons authorized under this Order.
15
7.2

CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL –
9
ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY – SOURCE CODE” Information or Items to Experts.
(a)
10
Unless otherwise ordered by the Court or agreed to in writing by the Designating
11
Party, a Party that seeks to disclose to an Expert (as defined in this Order) any information or item
12
that has been designated “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” or
13
“HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL– ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY – SOURCE CODE” pursuant to
14
Section 7.3(b) first must (1) provide the Designating Party with the “Acknowledgment and
15
Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A) executed by the Expert and (2) make a written request to
16
the Designating Party that (a) sets forth the full name of the Expert and the city and state of his or
17
her primary residence, (b) attaches a copy of the Expert’s current resume, (c) identifies the
18
Expert’s current employer(s), (d) identifies each person or entity from whom the Expert has
19
received compensation or funding for work in his or her areas of expertise or to whom the expert
20
has provided professional services, including in connection with a litigation, at any time during
21
the preceding five years,1 and (e) identifies (by name and number of the case, filing date, and
22
location of court) any litigation in connection with which the Expert has offered expert testimony,
23
including through a declaration, report, or testimony at a deposition or trial, during the preceding
24
five years.

If the Expert believes any of this information is subject to a confidentiality obligation to a thirdparty, then the Expert should provide whatever information the Expert believes can be disclosed
without violating any confidentiality agreements, and the Party seeking to disclose to the Expert
shall be available to meet and confer with the Designating Party regarding any such engagement.

PROTECTIVE ORDER
(b)
1
A Party that makes a request and provides the information specified in the
2
preceding paragraph may disclose the subject Protected Material to the identified Expert unless,
3
within 14 days of delivering the request, the Party receives a written objection from the
4
Designating Party. Any such objection must set forth in detail the grounds on which it is based.
7.5
5
A Party that receives a timely written objection must meet and confer with the
6
Designating Party (through direct voice to voice dialogue) to try to resolve the matter by
7
agreement within seven days of the written objection. If no agreement is reached, the parties shall
8
comply with the undersigned’s Standing Order re Civil Discovery Disputes (and with Civil Local
9
Rule 79-5, if applicable) seeking permission from the Court to do so. Any such DDJR must
10
describe the circumstances with specificity, set forth in detail the reasons why the disclosure to
11
the Expert is reasonably necessary, assess the risk of harm that the disclosure would entail, and
12
suggest any additional means that could be used to reduce that risk. In addition, any such DDJR
13
must describe the parties’ efforts to resolve the matter by agreement (i.e., the extent and the
14
content of the meet and confer discussions) and set forth the reasons advanced by the Designating
15
Party for its refusal to approve the disclosure. In any such proceeding, the Party opposing
16
disclosure to the Expert shall bear the burden of proving that the risk of harm that the disclosure
17
would entail (under the safeguards proposed) outweighs the Receiving Party’s need to disclose
18
the Protected Material to its Expert.

24
relating to network security technologies capable of detecting malware and computer viruses,

including without limitation the patents asserted in this action and any patent or application
26
claiming priority to or otherwise related to the patents asserted in this action, before any foreign

1
drafting, amending, advising, or otherwise affecting the scope or maintenance of patent claims in
2
original prosecution proceedings; and (2) involvement in or advising regarding drafting or
3
amending patent claims in a reissue, reexamination, or post grant proceedings. To avoid any
4
doubt, “prosecution” as used in this paragraph does not include such individual representing a
5
party challenging another’s patent before a domestic or foreign agency (including, but not limited
6
to reissue, post-grant and reexamination proceedings). In addition, no prohibition set forth in this
7
paragraph shall apply to or result from any designated material that such individual had lawfully
8
received or authored prior to and apart from this litigation, or to any other material not covered by
9
this Stipulated Protective Order. This Prosecution Bar shall begin when access to “HIGHLY
10
CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” information that is technical in nature or
11
“HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY – SOURCE CODE” information is
12
first received by the affected individual and shall end two (2) years after final termination of this

SOURCE CODE
9.1
Nothing in this Protective Order shall obligate the Parties to produce any Source
Code, nor act as an admission that any particular Source Code is discoverable.
9.2
Source Code may be designated as “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’
18
EYES ONLY – SOURCE CODE” and shall be subject to all protections applicable to materials
19
designated “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,” in addition to the
20
following protections:
21
(a)
If the production of Source Code is to occur in this litigation, after reasonable
22
notice to the Receiving Party, a single electronic copy of any such Source Code shall be made
23
available (to the extent such electronic copy can be obtained by the Producing Party) for
24
inspection on a non-networked secure standalone computer at a mutually agreeable location and
25
at mutually agreeable times during normal business hours, or Source Code shall be made
26
available in another form selected by the Producing Party that is at least as accessible as the
27
standalone computer option described herein. The non-networked standalone computer shall be
28
password protected and supplied by the Producing Party. The Receiving Party shall not copy,
13
STIPULATED AMENDED
PROTECTIVE ORDER
Case No.: 5:13-cv-05808-BLF
1
remove, or otherwise transfer any portion of the Source Code onto any recordable media or
2
recordable device. The Producing Party may visually monitor the activities of the Receiving
3
Party’s representative(s) during any Source Code review, but only to ensure that there is no
4
unauthorized recording, copying, or transmission of the Source Code;
5
(b)
Access to the standalone computer shall be permitted, after notice to the Producing
6
Party and an opportunity to object, to four (4) Outside Counsel of Record representing the
7
Receiving Party and three (3) Experts retained by the Receiving Party, the Experts having been
8
approved under Section 7.4 of this Protective Order. The persons who will review Source Code
9
on behalf of a Receiving Party shall be named in writing to the Producing Party at least seven
10
days in advance of the first time that such person reviews such Source Code, and the Producing
11
Party may object in writing within three court days of such notice. The parties shall thereafter
12
meet and confer within three court days of any objection by the Producing Party to attempt to
13
resolve the objection. If the Parties cannot resolve the objection without court intervention, they
14
shall comply with the undersigned’s Standing Order re Civil Discovery disputes (and with Civil
15
Local Rule 79-5, if applicable) within five court days of the end of the meet and confer period for
16
relief from providing the Receiving Party’s proposed Source Code reviewer access to the
17
Producing Party’s Source Code pursuant to the terms herein. In any such proceeding, the
18
Producing Party shall bear the burden of proving that the risk of harm that the access would entail
19
outweighs the Receiving Party’s need to allow its proposed Source Code reviewer access to the
20
Source Code under the safeguards proposed;
21
(c)
The Receiving Party may request that additional software tools be installed on the
22
standalone computer to assist the Receiving Party’s review of the Source Code, and at the
23
Receiving Party’s expense. If the Parties are unable to agree on the additional requested software
24
tools, they may seek an Order from the Court after making a good faith effort to resolve their
25
dispute;
26
(d)
The Receiving Party may request paper copies of limited portions of Source Code
27
that are reasonably necessary for the preparation of court filings, pleadings, expert reports, or
28
other papers, or for deposition or trial, but shall not request paper copies for the purposes of

Case No.: 5:13-cv-05808-BLF

reviewing the Source Code other than electronically as set forth in paragraph (a) in the first
2
instance. The Producing Party shall provide all such Source Code in paper form including bates
3
numbers and the label “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY – SOURCE
4
CODE” within five court days of the Receiving Party’s request. The Producing Party may object
5
in writing to the amount of Source Code requested in hard copy form within three court days of
6
the Receiving Party’s request. The parties shall thereafter meet and confer within three court
7
days of any objection by the Producing Party to attempt to resolve the objection. If the Parties
8
cannot resolve the objection without court intervention, they shall comply with the undersigned’s
9
Standing Order re Civil Discovery disputes (and with Civil Local Rule 79-5, if applicable) within
10
three court days of the end of the meet and confer period for relief from production of the
11
requested hard copy of Source Code to the Receiving Party pursuant to the terms herein. In any
12
such proceeding, the Producing Party shall bear the burden of proving that the risk of harm that
13
the disclosure would entail outweighs the Receiving Party’s interest in receiving the hard copy of
14
the Source Code under the safeguards proposed. In the event that the Court orders production of
15
the requested hard copy of Source Code, the Producing Party shall produce such hard copy within
16
five court days of the court order;
17
(e)
All access to the Source Code computer shall be maintained on a Source Code
18
Access Log identifying, for each and every time any Source Code is viewed, accessed or
19
analyzed: (1) the name of each person who accessed the code; (2) the date and time of access; (3)
20
the length of time of access; and (4) a copy of any hard (non-electronic) copies of any portion of
21
the code that were produced;
22
(f)
No electronic copies of Source Code shall be made without the agreement of the
23
Producing Party or further order of the Court. The Receiving Party shall maintain all paper
24
copies of any printed portions of the Source Code in a secure area. No additional hard (non-
25
electronic) copies of Source Code or portions of Source Code shall be made without the
26
agreement of the Producing Party. The Receiving Party shall not create any electronic or other
27
images of the paper copies and shall not convert any of the information contained in the paper
28
copies into any electronic format. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this sub-Paragraph
15
STIPULATED AMENDED
PROTECTIVE ORDER
Case No.: 5:13-cv-05808-BLF
1
shall prevent a Party from making such additional hard or electronic copies of Source Code as are
2
(1) necessary for use as exhibits at trial; (2) necessary to prepare court filings, pleadings, or other
3
papers (including a testifying expert’s expert report), (3) necessary for deposition, or (4)
4
otherwise necessary for the preparation of its case. Such papers shall be subject to the
5
requirements of Section 14.4 herein, and all other protections applicable to materials designated
6
HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY;
(g)
7
Any paper copies of Source Code used during a deposition as an exhibit shall be
8
labeled with production numbers and a copy shall be provided to the party defending the
9
deposition, provided said party is authorized to receive the Source Code under this Order. Such
10
exhibits shall be retrieved by the party that introduced them at the end of each deposition day and
11
must not be left with a court reporter or any other individual. No party may thereafter object to
12
the deposition transcript or exhibit on the basis that the exhibit is not attached to the court
13
reporter’s version of the transcript or on the basis that the court reporter did not retain the exhibit;
(h)
14
Within 60 days of final termination of the suit as to the Producing Party, the
15
Receiving Party shall return all hard (non-electronic) copies of Source Code or certify through
16
counsel with personal knowledge that all such copies have been destroyed.

compels disclosure of any information or items designated in this action as “CONFIDENTIAL,”
20
“HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL
21
– ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY – SOURCE CODE,” that Party must:
22
23
(a)
promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification shall include a
copy of the subpoena or court order;
24
(b)
promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or order to issue in
25
the other litigation that some or all of the material covered by the subpoena or order is subject to

If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served with the
4
subpoena or court order shall not produce any information designated in this action as
5
“CONFIDENTIAL,” “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.” or
6
“HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY – SOURCE CODE” before a
7
determination by the court from which the subpoena or order issued, unless the Party has obtained
8
the Designating Party’s permission. The Designating Party shall bear the burden and expense of
9
seeking protection in that court of its confidential material – and nothing in these provisions
10
should be construed as authorizing or encouraging a Receiving Party in this action to disobey a
11
lawful directive from another court.
12
13
11.
A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE PRODUCED IN THIS
LITIGATION
(a)
The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by a Non-Party in
14
this action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL,” “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL –
15
ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY
16
– SOURCE CODE.” Such information produced by Non-Parties in connection with this litigation
17
is protected by the remedies and relief provided by this Order. Nothing in these provisions should
18
be construed as prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking additional protections.
19
(b)
In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, to produce a
20
Non-Party’s confidential information in its possession, and the Party is subject to an agreement
21
with the Non-Party not to produce the Non-Party’s confidential information, then the Party shall:
22
23
24
(i) promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non-Party that some or all
of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality agreement with a Non-Party;
(ii) promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the Stipulated Protective Order in
25
this litigation, the relevant discovery request(s), and a reasonably specific description of the
26
information requested; and
27
(iii)make the information requested available for inspection by the Non-Party.

If the Non-Party fails to object or seek a protective order from this Court within 14
2
days of receiving the notice and accompanying information, the Receiving Party may produce the
3
Non-Party’s confidential information responsive to the discovery request. If the Non-Party timely
4
seeks a protective order, the Receiving Party shall not produce any information in its possession
5
or control that is subject to the confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party before a
6
determination by the Court. Absent a court order to the contrary, the Non-Party shall bear the
7
burden and expense of seeking protection in this Court of its Protected Material. All disclosure
8
and discovery disputes are subject to the undersigned’s Standing Order re Civil Discovery
9
Disputes.
10
12.
UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
12.1
11
If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise (including due to an
12
incorrect designation pursuant to Section 5.3), it has disclosed Protected Material to any person or
13
in any circumstance not authorized under this Stipulated Protective Order, the Receiving Party
14
must immediately (a) notify in writing the Designating Party of the unauthorized disclosures, (b)
15
use its best efforts to retrieve all unauthorized copies of the Protected Material, (c) inform the
16
person or persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the terms of this Order, and
17
(d) request such person or persons to execute the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be
18

INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE PROTECTED
MATERIAL
13.1
When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain
inadvertently produced material is subject to a claim of privilege or other protection, the
obligations of the Receiving Parties are those set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure
26(b)(5)(B). This provision is not intended to modify whatever procedure may be established in
an e-discovery order that provides for production without prior privilege review. Pursuant to
Federal Rule of Evidence 502(d) and (e), insofar as the parties reach an agreement on the effect of
disclosure of a communication or information covered by the attorney-client privilege or work
product protection, the parties may incorporate their agreement in the stipulated protective order
18
STIPULATED AMENDED

MISCELLANEOUS
Right to Further Relief. Nothing in this Order abridges the right of any person to
seek its modification by the Court in the future.
14.2
5
Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of this Protective
6
Order, no Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to disclosing or producing any
7
information or item on any ground not addressed in this Stipulated Protective Order. Similarly, no
8
Party waives any right to object on any ground to use in evidence of any of the material covered
9
by this Protective Order.
14.3
10
Export Control. Disclosure of Protected Material shall be subject to all applicable
11
laws and regulations relating to the export of technical data contained in such Protected Material,
12
including the release of such technical data to foreign persons or nationals in the United States or
13
elsewhere. The Producing Party shall be responsible for identifying any such controlled technical
14
data, and the Receiving Party shall take measures necessary to ensure compliance.
14.4
15
Filing Protected Material. Without written permission from the Designating Party
16
or a court order secured after appropriate notice to all interested persons, a Party may not file in
17
the public record in this action any Protected Material. A Party that seeks to file under seal any
18
Protected Material must comply with Civil Local Rule 79-5. Protected Material may only be filed
19
under seal pursuant to a court order authorizing the sealing of the specific Protected Material at
20
issue. Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 79-5, a sealing order will issue only upon a request
21
establishing that the Protected Material at issue is privileged, protectable as a trade secret, or
22
otherwise entitled to protection under the law. If a Receiving Party's request to file Protected
23
Material under seal pursuant to Civil Local Rule 79-5(e) is denied by the Court, then the
24
Receiving Party may file the Protected Material in the public record pursuant to Civil Local Rule
25
79-5(e) and (f) unless otherwise instructed by the Court.
26
15.

FINAL DISPOSITION
15.1
Within 60 days after the final disposition of this action, as defined in Section 4,
each Receiving Party must return all Protected Material to the Producing Party or destroy such
19
STIPULATED AMENDED
PROTECTIVE ORDER
Case No.: 5:13-cv-05808-BLF
1
material. As used in this subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes all copies, abstracts,
2
compilations, summaries, and any other format reproducing or capturing any of the Protected
3
Material. Whether the Protected Material is returned or destroyed, the Receiving Party must
4
submit a written certification to the Producing Party (and, if not the same person or entity, to the
5
Designating Party) by the 60 day deadline that (1) identifies (by category, where appropriate) all
6
the Protected Material that was returned or destroyed and (2) affirms that the Receiving Party has
7
not retained any copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries or any other format reproducing or
8
capturing any of the Protected Material. Notwithstanding this provision, Outside Counsel are
9
entitled to retain an archival copy of all pleadings, motion papers, trial, deposition, and hearing
10
transcripts, legal memoranda, correspondence, deposition and trial exhibits, expert reports,
11
attorney work product, and consultant and expert work product, even if such materials contain
12
Protected Material. Designated House Counsel may also retain an archival copy of any such
13
materials that do not contain, disclose, cite, or reference another party’s Protected Material. Any
14
such archival copies that contain or constitute Protected Material remain subject to this Protective
15
Order as set forth in Section 4 (DURATION).
