PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS
Disclosure and discovery activity in this action are likely to involve production of
3
confidential, proprietary, and/or private information for which special protection from public
4
disclosure and from use for any purpose other than prosecuting this litigation may be warranted.
5
Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to and petition the Court to enter the following
6
Stipulated Protective Order. The parties acknowledge that this Order does not confer blanket
7
protections on all disclosures or responses to discovery and that the protection it affords from
8
public disclosure and use extends only to the limited information or items that are entitled to
9
confidential treatment under the applicable legal principles. The parties further acknowledge, as
10
set forth in Section 14.4, below, that this Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle them to file
11
confidential information under seal; Civil Local Rule 79-5 and General Order 62 set forth the
12
procedures that must be followed and the standards that will be applied when a party seeks
13
permission from the Court to file material under seal.

20
competitively sensitive information, personal identifying information, or other information, the

confidential, be detrimental to the conduct of that party’s business or personal affairs.
23
2.3
Designating Party: a Party or Non-Party that designates information or items that
24
it produces in disclosures or in responses to discovery as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY

becoming part of the public record through trial or otherwise; and (b) any information known to
23
the Receiving Party prior to the disclosure or obtained by the Receiving Party after the disclosure

DURATION
2
Even after final disposition of this litigation, the confidentiality obligations imposed by
3
this Order shall remain in effect until a Designating Party agrees otherwise in writing or a court
4
order otherwise directs. Final disposition shall be deemed to be the later of (1) dismissal of all
5
claims and defenses in this action, with or without prejudice; and (2) final judgment herein after
6
the completion and exhaustion of all appeals, rehearings, remands, trials, or reviews of this action,
7
including the time limits for filing any motions or applications for extension of time pursuant to
8
applicable law. After the final disposition of this action, this Court will retain jurisdiction to

10
shall not exceed five (5) years after final disposition.

DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL
5.1
Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection. Each Party
13
or Non-Party that designates information or items for protection under this Order must take care
14
to limit any such designation to specific material that qualifies under the appropriate standards.
15
To the extent it is practical to do so, the Designating Party must designate for protection only
16
those parts of material, documents, items, or oral or written communications that qualify—so that
17
other portions of the material, documents, items, or communications for which protection is not
18
warranted are not swept unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order.
19
Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations that are
20
shown to be clearly unjustified or that have been made for an improper purpose (e.g., to
21
unnecessarily encumber or retard the case development process or to impose unnecessary
22
expenses and burdens on other parties) expose the Designating Party to sanctions.
23
If it comes to a Designating Party’s attention that information or items that it designated
24
for protection do not qualify for protection, that Designating Party must promptly notify all other
25
Parties that it is withdrawing the mistaken designation.
26
5.2
Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in this Order,
27
or as otherwise stipulated or ordered, Disclosure or Discovery Material that qualifies for
28
protection under this Order must be clearly so designated before the material is disclosed or
-5-
AMENDED STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
CASE NO. C 13-05996-PJH (MEJ)
1
2
3
produced.
Designation in conformity with this Order requires:
(a)
For information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic documents,
4
but excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial proceedings), to the extent
5
practicable, the Designating Party shall affix the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY
6
CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – SOURCE
7
CODE” to each page of the paper or electronic document that contains Protected Material.
8
9
(i)
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
10
which material it would like copied and produced. During the inspection and before the
11
designation, all of the material made available for inspection shall be deemed “HIGHLY
12
CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.” After the inspecting Party has identified the
13
documents it wants copied and produced, the Designating Party must determine which documents
14
qualify for protection under this Order. Then, before producing the specified documents, to the
15
extent practicable, the Designating Party must affix the appropriate legend (“CONFIDENTIAL”
16
or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” or “HIGHLY
17
CONFIDENTIAL – SOURCE CODE”) to each page of a paper or electronic document that
18
contains Protected Material.
19
(ii)
For documents produced electronically in a format that includes separate
20
pagination, to the extent practicable, the Designating Party must affix the legend
21
“CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” or
22
“HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – SOURCE CODE” to each electronic page of such documents that
23
contains Protected Material. For documents produced in a format which does not lend itself to
24
separate pagination, confidentiality shall be designated in a reasonable manner.
25
26
27
28
(b)
For testimony given in deposition, hearing or other proceeding, the
Designating Party may either:
(i)
identify on the record, before the close of the deposition, hearing, or other
proceeding, all “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES
-6-
AMENDED STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
CASE NO. C 13-05996-PJH (MEJ)
1
ONLY” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – SOURCE CODE” testimony by specifying the
2
portions of the testimony that qualify for protection; or
3
(ii)
designate the entirety of the testimony as “CONFIDENTIAL” or
4
“HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL –
5
SOURCE CODE” (before the deposition, hearing, or other proceeding is concluded) with the
6
right to have up to 30 days after receipt of the final transcript of the deposition, hearing, or other
7
proceeding to identify the specific portions of the testimony qualifying for protection as
8
“CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” or
9
“HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – SOURCE CODE” testimony. Only those portions of the
10
testimony that are appropriately designated for protection within the 30 days of receipt of the final
11
transcript shall be covered by the provisions of this Stipulated Protective Order, unless the
12
Designating Party specifies that the entire transcript shall be treated as “CONFIDENTIAL” or
13
“HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL –
14
SOURCE CODE.”
15
Parties shall give the other parties notice if they reasonably expect a deposition, court
16
hearing or conference, or other proceeding to include Protected Material so that the other parties
17
can ensure that only authorized individuals who have signed the “Acknowledgment and
18
Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A) are present at those proceedings. Parties shall act with
19
caution at court hearings and conferences so as not to disclose Protected Material publicly
20
without providing an opportunity for the Designating Party to be heard concerning, as appropriate,
21
sealing the courtroom, sealing the transcript, or other relief. For court hearings and conferences, a
22
Party shall provide at least 48 hours’ notice to the Designating Party before discussing, displaying,
23
submitting as evidence, or otherwise entering into the record any Protected Material produced by
24
the other Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, this advance-notice requirement shall
25
not apply in circumstances where the Party could not have reasonably anticipated so using
26
Protected Material at the court hearing or conference. The Designating Party may move to seal
27
the Protected Material or for other relief either in writing or orally, either before or during the
28
court hearing or conference. The use of a document as an exhibit at a deposition, hearing, or
-7-
AMENDED STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
CASE NO. C 13-05996-PJH (MEJ)
1
other proceeding shall not in any way affect its designation as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY
2
CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – SOURCE
3
CODE.”
4
Transcripts containing Protected Material shall have an obvious legend on the title page
5
that the transcript contains Protected Material, and the title page shall be followed by a list of all
6
pages (including line numbers as appropriate) that have been designated as Protected Material. In
7
circumstances where portions of the testimony are designated for protection, the transcript pages
8
containing “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY”
9
or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – SOURCE CODE” information may be separately bound by the
10
court reporter, who must affix to the top of each page the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” or
11
“HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL –
12
SOURCE CODE,” as instructed by the Designating Party. The Designating Party shall inform
13
the court reporter of these requirements. Any transcript that is prepared before the expiration of a
14
30-day period for designation shall be treated during that period as if it had been designated
15
“HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” in its entirety unless otherwise
16
agreed. After the expiration of that period, the transcript shall be treated only as actually
17
designated.
18
(c)
for information produced in some form other than documentary and for any
19
other tangible items, including, without limitation, DVDs or other recordable media, the
20
Designating Party shall affix in a prominent place on the exterior of the container or containers in
21
which the information or item is stored the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY
22
CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – SOURCE
23
CODE.” If only a portion or portions of the information or item warrant protection, the
24
Producing Party, to the extent practicable, shall identify the protected portion(s) and specify the
25
level of protection being asserted.
26
5.3
Inadvertent Failures to Designate. In the event that any Disclosure or Discovery
27
Material or other information that is subject to a “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY
28
CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – SOURCE
-8-
AMENDED STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
CASE NO. C 13-05996-PJH (MEJ)
1
CODE” designation is inadvertently produced without such designation, the Party that
2
inadvertently produced the Disclosure or Discovery Material shall give written notice of such
3
inadvertent production promptly after the Party discovers the inadvertent failure to designate (but
4
no later than fourteen (14) calendar days after the Party discovers the inadvertent failure to
5
designate), together with a further copy of the subject Disclosure or Discovery Material or other
6
information designated as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’
7
EYES ONLY” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – SOURCE CODE” (the “Inadvertent
8
Production Notice”). Upon receipt of such Inadvertent Production Notice, the Party that received
9
the inadvertently produced Disclosure or Discovery Material or other information shall promptly
10
destroy the inadvertently produced Disclosure or Discovery Material or other information and all
11
copies thereof, or, at the expense of the Producing Party, return such together with all copies of
12
such Disclosure or Discovery Material or other information to counsel for the Producing Party
13
and shall retain only the “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’
14
EYES ONLY” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – SOURCE CODE” designated Disclosure or
15
Discovery Material. This provision is not intended to apply to any inadvertent production of any
16
information or materials protected by attorney-client or work product privileges, which
17
inadvertent production is governed by Section 13 below.
18
5.4
Personally Identifiable Information of Named Plaintiffs. Defendant shall make
19
reasonable efforts to designate as “CONFIDENTIAL” all Discovery Material within its
20
possession, custody, or control that it produces that relates specifically to and/or identifies any
21
named plaintiff in this action.
22
6.
23
CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS
6.1
Timing of Challenges. Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a designation of
24
confidentiality at any time. Unless a prompt challenge to a Designating Party’s confidentiality
25
designation is necessary to avoid foreseeable, substantial unfairness, unnecessary economic
26
burdens, or a significant disruption or delay of the litigation, a Party does not waive its right to
27
challenge a confidentiality designation by electing not to mount a challenge promptly after the
28
original designation is disclosed.
-9-
AMENDED STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
CASE NO. C 13-05996-PJH (MEJ)
1
6.2
Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute resolution
2
process by providing written notice of each designation it is challenging and describing the basis
3
for each challenge. To avoid ambiguity as to whether a challenge has been made, the written
4
notice must recite that the challenge to confidentiality is being made in accordance with this
5
specific paragraph of the Stipulated Protective Order. The Parties shall attempt to resolve each
6
challenge in good faith and must begin the process by conferring directly (in voice to voice
7
dialogue; other forms of communication are not sufficient) within 14 days of the date of service
8
of notice. In conferring, the Challenging Party must explain the basis for its belief that the
9
confidentiality designation was not proper and must give the Designating Party an opportunity to
10
review the designated material, to reconsider the circumstances, and, if no change in designation
11
is offered, to explain the basis for the chosen designation. A Challenging Party may proceed to
12
the next stage of the challenge process only if it has engaged in this meet and confer process first
13
or establishes that the Designating Party is unwilling to participate in the meet and confer process
14
in a timely manner.
15
6.3
Judicial Intervention. If the Parties cannot resolve a challenge without court
16
intervention, the Designating Party shall file and serve a motion to retain confidentiality under
17
Civil Local Rule 7 (and in compliance with Civil Local Rule 79-5 and General Order 62, if
18
applicable) within 20 business days of the initial notice of challenge or within 10 business days of
19
the parties agreeing that the meet and confer process will not resolve their dispute, whichever is
20
earlier. Each such motion must be accompanied by a competent declaration affirming that the
21
movant has complied with the meet and confer requirements imposed in the preceding paragraph.
22
Failure by the Designating Party to make such a motion including the required declaration within
23
20 business days (or 10 business days, if applicable) shall automatically waive the confidentiality
24
designation for each challenged designation. In addition, the Challenging Party may file a motion
25
challenging a confidentiality designation at any time if there is good cause for doing so, including
26
a challenge to the designation of a deposition transcript or any portions thereof. Any motion
27
brought pursuant to this provision must be accompanied by a competent declaration affirming that
28
the movant has complied with the meet and confer requirements imposed by the preceding
- 10 -
AMENDED STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
CASE NO. C 13-05996-PJH (MEJ)
1
paragraph.
2
The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on the Designating
3
Party. Frivolous challenges and those made for an improper purpose (e.g., to harass or impose
4
unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) and/or without a good faith basis may expose
5
the Challenging Party to sanctions. All parties shall continue to afford the material in question
6
the level of protection to which it is entitled under the Designating Party’s designation until the
7
Court rules on the challenge.

ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
7.1
Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is disclosed
10
or produced by another Party or by a Non-Party in connection with this case only for prosecuting,
11
defending, or attempting to settle this litigation. Such Protected Material may be disclosed only
12
to the categories of persons and under the conditions described in this Stipulated Protective Order.
13
When the litigation has been terminated, a Receiving Party must comply with the provisions of
14
Section 15 below (FINAL DISPOSITION).
15
Protected Material must be stored and maintained by a Receiving Party at a location and
16
in a secure manner that ensures that access is limited to the persons authorized under this
17
Stipulated Protective Order.
18

5
have been followed;

8
jurors, and Professional Vendors to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this litigation

(g)
during depositions, trial, or hearings, any witnesses in the action to whom
11
disclosure is reasonably necessary and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to
12
Be Bound” (Exhibit A), unless otherwise agreed by the Designating Party or ordered by the
13
Court. Pages of transcribed deposition testimony or exhibits to depositions that reveal Protected
14
Material may be separately bound by the court reporter and must not be disclosed to anyone
15
except as permitted under this Stipulated Protective Order; and
16
17
18
(h)
the author or recipient of a document containing the information or a
custodian or other person who otherwise possessed or knew the information.
7.3

19
“HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – SOURCE CODE” Information or Items. Unless otherwise

designated “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” or “HIGHLY
22
CONFIDENTIAL – SOURCE CODE” shall be disclosed only to:

the Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of Record in this action and their

CASE NO. C 13-05996-PJH (MEJ)
1
a litigation, at any time during the preceding five years and the party to the litigation for whom
2
such work was done, 1 (6) identifies (by name and number of the case, filing date, and location of
3
court) any litigation in connection with which the Expert has offered expert testimony, including
4
through a declaration, report, or testimony at a deposition or trial, during the preceding five years,
5
and (7) identifies any patents or patent applications in which the Expert is identified as an
6
inventor or applicant, is involved in prosecuting or maintaining, or has any pecuniary interest.
7
(b)
A Party that makes a request and provides the information specified in the
8
preceding respective paragraph may disclose the subject Protected Material to the identified
9
Expert 15 days after making its disclosure pursuant to Paragraph 7.4(a) unless, within 14 days of

11
such objection must set forth in detail the grounds on which it is based.
12
(c)

16
Local Rule 7 (and in compliance with Civil Local Rule 79-5 and General Order 62, if applicable)
17
seeking permission from the Court to do so. Any such motion must describe the circumstances

necessary, assess the risk of harm that the disclosure would entail, and suggest any additional
20
means that could be used to reduce that risk. In addition, any such motion must be accompanied
21
by a competent declaration describing the parties’ efforts to resolve the matter by agreement (i.e.,
22
the extent and the content of the meet and confer discussions) and setting forth the reasons

the disclosure may file a formal opposition with the Court within 14 days of the motion.
25
26
27

third party, 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.
- 14 -
AMENDED STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
CASE NO. C 13-05996-PJH (MEJ)
1
In any such proceeding, the Party opposing disclosure to the Expert shall bear the burden
2
of proving that the risk of harm that the disclosure would entail (under the safeguards proposed)
3
outweighs the Receiving Party’s need to disclose the Protected Material to its Expert.
4
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, Disclosure or Discovery Material may be
5
provided to an Expert only to the extent necessary for such Expert to prepare a written opinion, to
6
prepare to testify, or to assist counsel or the Parties, provided that such Expert is using said
7
Disclosure or Discovery Material solely in connection with this litigation, and further provided
8
that such Expert has previously executed an undertaking in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A,
9
agreeing in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Stipulated Protective Order,
10
consenting to the jurisdiction of this Court for purposes of enforcement of the terms of this
11
Stipulated Protective Order, and agreeing not to disclose or use any Disclosure or Discovery
12
Material for purposes other than those permitted hereunder.

14
SOURCE CODE
(a)
To the extent production of source code becomes necessary in this case, a
15
Producing Party may designate source code as “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL - SOURCE CODE”
16
if it comprises or includes confidential, proprietary or trade secret source code.
17
(b)
Protected Material designated as “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – SOURCE
18
CODE” shall be subject to all of the protections afforded to “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL –
19
ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” information including the Prosecution Bar set forth in Paragraph
20
9, and may be disclosed only to the individuals to whom “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL –
21
ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” information may be disclosed, as set forth in Paragraphs 7.3 and
22
7.4.
23
(c)
Any source code produced in discovery shall be made available for inspection, in a
24
format allowing it to be reasonably reviewed and searched, during normal business hours or at
25
other mutually agreeable times, at an office of the Producing Party’s counsel or another location
26
in the Northern District of California designated by the Producing Party’s counsel. The computer
27
containing source code will be made available upon reasonable notice to the Producing Party,
28
which shall not be less than 2 business days in advance of the requested inspection. The source
- 15 -
AMENDED STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
CASE NO. C 13-05996-PJH (MEJ)
1
code shall be made available for inspection on a secured computer in a secured room without
2
Internet access or network access to other computers, and the Receiving Party shall not copy,
3
remove, or otherwise transfer any portion of the source code onto any recordable media or
4
recordable device. The Producing Party may visually monitor the activities of the Receiving
5
Party’s representatives during any source code review, but only to ensure that there is no
6
unauthorized recording, copying, or transmission of the source code. All persons viewing Source
7
Code shall sign on each day they view Source Code a log that will include the names of persons
8
who enter the secured room to view the Source Code and when they enter and depart.
9
(d)
The Receiving Party may request paper copies of limited portions of source code
10
that are reasonably necessary to prepare court filings, pleadings, expert reports, or other papers, or
11
for use as an exhibit at deposition or trial, but shall not request paper copies for the purposes of
12
reviewing the source code other than electronically as set forth in paragraph (c) in the first
13
instance. The Producing Party shall provide all such source code on non-copyable paper
14
including bates numbers and the label “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL - SOURCE CODE.” The
15
Producing Party may challenge the amount of source code requested in hard copy form pursuant
16
to the dispute resolution procedure and timeframes set forth in Paragraph 6 whereby the
17
Producing Party is the “Challenging Party” and the Receiving Party is the “Designating Party” for
18
purposes of dispute resolution. In no case may the Receiving Party request more than 15
19
consecutive pages, or an aggregate of more than 100 pages, of Source Code during the duration of
20
the case without prior written approval of the Producing Party.
21
(e)
The Receiving Party shall maintain a log of all paper copies of the Source Code.
22
The log shall include the names of the reviewers and/or recipients of paper copies and locations
23
where the paper copies are stored. Upon one (1) day’s advance notice to the Receiving Party by
24
the Producing Party, the Receiving Party shall provide a copy of this log to the Producing Party.
25
The Receiving Party shall maintain all paper copies of any printed portions of the source code in a
26
secured, locked area. The Receiving Party shall not create any electronic or other images of the
27
paper copies and shall not convert any of the information contained in the paper copies into any
28
electronic format. The Receiving Party shall only request additional paper copies if such
- 16 -
AMENDED STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
CASE NO. C 13-05996-PJH (MEJ)
1
additional copies are (1) necessary to prepare court filings, pleadings, or other papers (including a
2
testifying expert’s expert report), (2) necessary for deposition, or (3) otherwise necessary for the
3
preparation of its case. The Receiving Party shall not request paper copies for the purposes of
4
reviewing the source code other than electronically as set forth in paragraph (c) in the first
5
instance.

7
PROSECUTION BAR
Absent written consent from the Producing Party, any individual who receives access to
8
“HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL –
9
SOURCE CODE” information of the opposing party shall not be involved in the prosecution of
10
patents or patent applications relating to the subject matter of the “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL –
11
ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – SOURCE CODE” information
12
he or she received before any foreign or domestic agency, including the United States Patent and
13
Trademark Office (“the Patent Office”). For purposes of this paragraph, “prosecution” includes
14
directly or indirectly drafting, amending, advising, or otherwise affecting the scope or
15
maintenance of patent claims. Prosecution includes, for example, original prosecution, reissue,
16
and reexamination and other post-grant proceedings. To avoid any doubt, “prosecution” as used
17
in this paragraph does not include representing a party challenging a patent before a domestic or
18
foreign agency (including, but not limited to, a reissue protest, ex parte reexamination or inter
19
partes reexamination). This Prosecution Bar shall begin when access to “HIGHLY
20
CONFIDENTIAL– ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – SOURCE
21
CODE” information is first received by the affected individual and shall end two (2) years after
22
final termination of this action.

If a Party is served with a subpoena or a court order issued in other litigation that compels
26
disclosure of any information or items designated in this action as “CONFIDENTIAL” or
27
“HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY ” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL
28
– SOURCE CODE,” that Receiving Party must:
- 17 -
AMENDED STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
CASE NO. C 13-05996-PJH (MEJ)
1
2
(a)
promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification shall
include a copy of the subpoena or court order;
3
(b)
promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or order to
4
issue in the other litigation that some or all of the material covered by the subpoena or order is
5
subject to this Stipulated Protective Order. Such notification shall include a copy of this
6
Stipulated Protective Order; and
7
(c)
8
cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be pursued by
the Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected.
9
If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served with the
10
subpoena or court order shall not produce any information designated in this action as
11
“CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” or
12
“HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – SOURCE CODE” before a determination by the court from
13
which the subpoena or order issued, unless the Party has obtained the Designating Party’s
14
permission. The Designating Party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking protection in
15
that court of its confidential material—and nothing in these provisions should be construed as
16
authorizing or encouraging a Receiving Party in this action to disobey a lawful directive from
17
another court.
18
10.2
The provisions set forth herein are not intended to, and do not, restrict in any way
19
the procedures set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 45(d)(3) or (f).

22
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-
23
Party in this action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL –
24
ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – SOURCE CODE.” Such
25
information produced by Non-Parties in connection with this litigation is protected by the
26
remedies and relief provided by this Order. Nothing in these provisions should be construed as
27
prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking additional protections.
28
(b)
In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, to
- 18 -
AMENDED STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
CASE NO. C 13-05996-PJH (MEJ)
1
produce a Non-Party’s confidential information in its possession, and the Party is subject to an
2
agreement with the Non-Party not to produce the Non-Party’s confidential information, then the
3
Party shall:
4
1.
promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non-Party that
5
some or all of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality agreement with a Non-
6
Party;
7
2.
promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the Stipulated Protective
8
Order in this litigation, the relevant discovery request(s), and a reasonably specific description of
9
the information requested; and
10
3.
make the information requested available for inspection by the Non-Party.
11
(c)
If the Non-Party fails to object or seek a protective order from this Court
12
within 28 days of receiving the notice and accompanying information, the Receiving Party may
13
produce the Non-Party’s confidential information responsive to the discovery request. If the
14
Non-Party timely seeks a protective order, the Receiving Party shall not produce any information
15
in its possession or control that is subject to the confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party
16
before a determination by the Court. Absent a court order to the contrary, the Non-Party shall
17
bear the burden and expense of seeking protection in this Court of its Protected Material.
18
12.
19
UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has disclosed Protected
20
Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized under this Stipulated Protective
21
Order, the Receiving Party must immediately (a) notify in writing the Designating Party of the
22
unauthorized disclosures, (b) use its best efforts to retrieve all unauthorized copies of the
23
Protected Material, (c) inform the person or persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were
24
made of all the terms of this Order, and (d) request such person or persons to execute the
25
“Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
26
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this paragraph shall be construed as to limit a
27
Designating Party’s rights or remedies relating to the unauthorized disclosure of its Protected
28
Material, or any injury resulting therefrom.

INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE
2
PROTECTED MATERIAL
3
(a)
Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 502(d), in the event that Inadvertent
4
Production Material is produced or disclosed, such inadvertent production or disclosure shall in
5
no way prejudice or otherwise constitute a waiver of, or estoppel as to, any claim of attorney-
6
client privilege, attorney work product protection, or other applicable protection in this case or
7
any other federal or state proceeding, provided that the Producing Party shall notify the Receiving
8
Party in writing of such protection or privilege promptly after the Producing Party discovers such
9
materials have been inadvertently produced.
10
(b)
If a claim of inadvertent production is made, pursuant to this Stipulated Protective
11
Order, with respect to Discovery Material then in the custody of another Party, that Party shall:
12
(i) refrain from any further examination or disclosure of the claimed Inadvertent Production
13
Material; (ii) promptly make a good-faith effort to return the claimed Inadvertent Production
14
Material and all copies thereof (including summaries and excerpts) to counsel for the Producing
15
Party, or destroy all such claimed Inadvertent Production Material (including summaries and
16
excerpts) and certify in writing to that fact; and (iii) not disclose or use the claimed Inadvertent
17
Production Material for any purpose until further order of the Court expressly authorizing such
18
use.
19
(c)
A Party may move the Court for an order compelling production of the Inadvertent
20
Production Material on the ground that it is not, in fact, privileged or protected. The motion shall
21
be filed under seal and shall not assert as a ground for entering such an order the fact or
22
circumstance of the inadvertent production. Any effort to file under seal pursuant to this
23
paragraph must comply with Civil Local Rule 79-5 and General Order 62. The Producing Party
24
retains the burden of establishing the privileged or protected nature of any inadvertently disclosed
25
or produced information. While such a motion is pending, the Inadvertent Production Material at
26
issue shall be treated in accordance with Paragraph 13(b) above.
27
28
(d)
If a Party, in reviewing Disclosure or Discovery Material it has received from any
other Party or any non-Party, finds anything the reviewing Party believes in good faith may be
- 20 -
AMENDED STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
CASE NO. C 13-05996-PJH (MEJ)

Inadvertent Production Material, the reviewing Party shall: (i) refrain from any further

examination or disclosure of the potentially Inadvertent Production Material; (ii) promptly
3
identify the material in question to the Producing Party (by document number or other equally
4
precise description); and (iii) give the Producing Party seven (7) days to respond as to whether the
5
Producing Party will make a claim of inadvertent production. If the Producing Party makes such
6
a claim, the provisions of Paragraphs 13(a)-(b) above shall apply.

10
MISCELLANEOUS
14.1
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
Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of this Protective
11
Order no Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to disclosing or producing any
12
information or item on any ground not addressed in this Stipulated Protective Order. Similarly,
13
no Party waives any right to object on any ground to use in evidence of any of the material
14
covered by this Protective Order.
15
14.3
Export Control. The Protected Material disclosed by the Producing Party may
16
contain technical data subject to export control laws and therefore the release of such technical
17
data to foreign persons or nationals in the United States or elsewhere may be restricted.
18
The Receiving Party shall take measures necessary to ensure compliance with applicable export
19
control laws, including confirming that no unauthorized foreign person has access to such
20
technical data. No Protected Material may leave the territorial boundaries of the United States of
21
America. Without limitation, this prohibition extends to Protected Material (including copies) in
22
physical and electronic form. The viewing of Protected Material through electronic means
23
outside the territorial limits of the United States of America is similarly prohibited.
24
14.4
Filing Protected Material. Without written permission from the Designating Party
25
or a court order secured after appropriate notice to all interested persons, a Party may not file in
26
the public record in this action any Protected Material. A Party that seeks to file under seal any
27
Protected Material must comply with Civil Local Rule 79-5 and General Order 62. Protected
28
Material may only be filed under seal pursuant to a court order authorizing the sealing of the
- 21 -
AMENDED STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
CASE NO. C 13-05996-PJH (MEJ)
1
specific Protected Material at issue. Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 79-5 and General Order 62, a
2
sealing order will issue only upon a request establishing that the Protected Material at issue is
3
privileged, protectable as a trade secret, or otherwise entitled to protection under the law. If a
4
Receiving Party’s request to file Protected Material under seal pursuant to Civil Local Rule 79-
5
5(d) and General Order 62 is denied by the Court, then the Receiving Party may file the Protected
6
Material in the public record pursuant to Civil Local Rule 79-5(e) unless otherwise instructed by
7
the Court. If a Receiving Party believes that only a portion of Designated Material is Protected
8
Material, the Receiving Party and Producing Party shall meet and confer in good faith concerning
9
the redaction of only the Protected Material prior to filing with the Court.
10
14.5
Right to Seek Further Protection. Nothing in this Stipulated Protective Order shall
11
be construed to preclude any Party from asserting in good faith that certain Protected Materials
12
require additional protections. The Parties shall meet and confer to agree upon the terms of such
13
additional protection.
14
14.6
Additional Signatories. Any Party or Non-Party to this Proceeding who has not
15
executed this Stipulated Protective Order as of the time it is presented to the Court for signature
16
may thereafter become a Party to this Stipulated Protective Order by its counsel’s signing and
17
dating a copy thereof and filing the same with the Court, and serving copies of such signed and
18
dated copy upon the other Parties to this Stipulated Protective Order.
19
14.7
Agreement Regarding Privilege Log. The parties need not identify, on any
20
privilege or work product log in response to document requests, privileged or protected
21
documents postdating the filing of this action, December 30, 2013. Privilege logs shall identify
22
the documents or information withheld with sufficient specificity to identify the material withheld
23
and the basis for the claimed privilege or protection. If appropriate, the parties may agree that
24
certain categories of documents or information may be logged by category rather than
25
individually. For email strings, the parties are permitted to use only one entry on their respective
26
privilege logs to identify withheld emails that contain a string of emails provided, however, that
27
the entry notes the presence of a string, beginning and ending dates, all of the authors and
28
recipients, and a description of all the subject matters discussed.

COMMUNICATIONS WITH TESTIFYING EXPERTS
Testifying experts shall not be subject to discovery of any draft of their reports in this case
3
and such draft reports, notes, outlines, or any other writings leading up to an issued report(s) in
4
this litigation are exempt from discovery. In addition, all communications between counsel for a
5
party and that party’s testifying expert, and all materials generated by a testifying expert with
6
respect to that person’s work, are exempt from discovery unless they identify facts, data or
7
assumptions relied upon by the expert in forming any opinions in this litigation and such
8
information is not already disclosed in the expert’s report. The Parties agree that this section in
9
no way limits protections against discovery of testifying expert draft reports and communications
10
with counsel provided by Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(b)(4). The Parties further agree that,
11
in the event a current of former employee of a Party is designated as a testifying expert, this
12
section in no way limits the discoverability of material that would have otherwise been
13
discoverable had the current or former employer not been designated as a testifying expert.
14
16.
15
FINAL DISPOSITION
Within 60 days after the final disposition of this action, as defined in Paragraph 4, each
16
Receiving Party must return all Protected Material to the Producing Party or destroy such material.
17
As used in this subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes all copies, abstracts, compilations,
18
summaries, and any other format reproducing or capturing any of the Protected Material.
19
Whether the Protected Material is returned or destroyed, the Receiving Party must submit a
20
written certification to the Producing Party (and, if not the same person or entity, to the
21
Designating Party) by the 60 day deadline that (1) identifies (by category, where appropriate) all
22
the Protected Material that was returned or destroyed and (2) affirms that the Receiving Party has
23
not retained any copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries or any other format reproducing or
24
capturing any of the Protected Material. Notwithstanding this provision, counsel are entitled to
25
retain an archival copy of all pleadings, motion papers, trial, deposition, and hearing transcripts,
26
legal memoranda, correspondence, deposition and trial exhibits, expert reports, attorney work
27
product, and consultant and expert work product, even if such materials contain Protected
28
- 23 -
