`
`Stipulated Protective Order (“Protective Order”) in this Inter Partes Review (“IPR”),
`
`which is modified from the Board’s Default Protective Order to include heightened
`
`levels of confidentiality protection to mirror that in the district court actions
`
`involving the same parties, Sleep Number Corporation v. American National
`
`Manufacturing, Inc., 5:18-cv-00357AB(SPx) (C.D. Cal. 2018) and Sleep Number
`
`Corporation v. Sizewise Rentals, LLC, 5:18-cv-00356AB(SPx) (C.D. Cal.)
`
`(hereinafter “District Court Cases”).
`
`Standing Protective Order
`
`This standing protective order governs the treatment and filing of confidential
`
`information, including documents and testimony.
`
`1.
`
`GOOD CAUSE STATEMENT.
`
`There is good cause to modify the Board’s Default Protective Order in this
`
`matter. First, the Court in the District Court Cases entered an order on September
`
`26, 2019 (5:18-cv-00357AB(SPx), Doc. 173; and 5:18-cv-00356AB(PPx), Doc.
`
`177) modifying the District Court Cases’ protective order to include this IPR, which
`
`allows the parties to utilize documents designated under that Protective Order in this
`
`IPR. As a result, those documents should be entitled to the same level of protection
`
`in this IPR, which justifies modification of the Board’s Default Protective Order.
`
`Second, the parties anticipate that documents in this IPR, including produced
`
`documents, will potentially include deposition transcripts, and other disclosures
`
`involving confidential product and patent information, non-public confidential
`
`financial and sales information, confidential source code information of the parties,
`
`1
`
`Sleep Number Corp.
`EXHIBIT 2025
`IPR2019-00500
`Page 1
`
`
`
`confidential source code information of third-parties, and other proprietary
`
`information, is in need of a heightened level of confidentiality protection like in the
`
`District Court Cases. This also justifies modification of the Board’s Default
`
`Protective Order. The parties hereby incorporate by reference the District Court
`
`Cases’ protective order and modifications.
`
`It is the intent of the parties that information will not be designated as
`
`confidential for tactical reasons and that nothing be so designated without a good
`
`faith belief that it has been maintained in a confidential, non-public manner, and
`
`there is good cause why it should not be part of the public record of this case.

`

`
`Disclosure of “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL SOURCE CODE – OUTSIDE
`
`COUNSEL ONLY” Information and Items.
`
`(A) A producing party may designate Source Code as “HIGHLY
`
`CONFIDENTIAL SOURCE CODE – OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY” if it
`
`comprises or includes confidential, proprietary, and/or trade secret Source Code.
`
`Material designated as “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL SOURCE CODE – OUTSIDE
`
`COUNSEL ONLY” shall be subject to the following additional restrictions and
`
`protections:
`
`(i)
`
`Except as specifically authorized by this section, Source Code or
`
`details about how it is implemented may not be disclosed, printed, photographed,
`
`copied, removed, electronically transmitted, or otherwise reproduced without the
`
`agreement of the Producing Party or further order of the Board. Summaries,
`
`descriptions, or accounts of Source Code may be shared only with Receiving Party’s
`
`Outside Counsel of Record and Experts to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary
`
`for this Action and who have signed the “Standard Acknowledgment for Access to
`
`Protective Order Material.” The Receiving Party shall not tamper with any
`
`10
`
`Sleep Number Corp.
`EXHIBIT 2025
`IPR2019-00500
`Page 10
`
`
`
`safeguards designed to prevent these activities or otherwise attempt to circumvent
`
`any provision of this section.
`
`(ii) No electronic copies of Source Code shall be made (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 the protected Source Code shall not be
`
`included in correspondence between the parties (references to production numbers,
`
`file paths, or file names shall be used instead), and shall be omitted from pleadings
`
`and other papers whenever possible. The parties further agree to use no more
`
`protected Source Code in such filing than is reasonably necessary to accomplish the
`
`purpose for which the protected Source Code is being relied upon. In accordance
`
`with the District Court Cases’ November 20, 2018 Order, the Parties are allowed to
`
`include line numbers and variable and method names from Source Code, where
`
`reasonably necessary, in pleadings or other papers but such pleadings or other papers
`
`shall be designated “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL– OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY.”
`
`(iii) Copies of Source Code that are marked as deposition exhibits
`
`shall not be provided to the court reporter or attached to depositions transcripts;
`
`rather, the deposition record will identify the exhibit by its production numbers. All
`
`paper copies of Source Code brought to the deposition shall be securely destroyed
`
`in a timely manner following the deposition.
`
`(iv) Any consultant or Expert retained on behalf of a Party to this
`
`Action who is to be given access to the Producing Party’s protected Source Code
`
`(whether in electronic form, printed copies, or otherwise) must agree in writing not
`
`to write Source Code or engage in product design relating to air mattress systems or
`
`11
`
`Sleep Number Corp.
`EXHIBIT 2025
`IPR2019-00500
`Page 11
`
`
`
`components thereof for a period of two (2) years after issuance of a final,
`
`nonappealable decision resolving all issues in this Action.
`
`(B) Unless otherwise ordered by the Board or permitted in writing by the
`
`Designating Party, a Receiving Party may disclose any information or item
`
`designated “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL SOURCE CODE – OUTSIDE COUNSEL
`
`ONLY” only to:
`
`(i)
`
`the Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of Record in this Action,
`
`as well as personnel of said Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably
`
`necessary to disclose the information for this Action;
`
`(ii) Experts (as defined in this Order) of the Receiving Party to whom
`
`disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have signed the “Standard
`
`Acknowledgment of Access to Protective Order Material”;
`
`(iii)
`
`the Board and its personnel;
`
`(iv)
`
`court reporters and their staff;
`
`(v)
`
`during their depositions, witnesses, and attorneys for witness, in
`
`the Action to whom disclosures is reasonably necessary provided: (1) the deposing
`
`party requests that the witness sign the “Standard Acknowledgment for Access to
`
`Protective Order Material”; and (2) they will not be permitted to keep any
`
`confidential information as permitted under this Stipulated Protective Order unless
`
`they sign the “Standard Acknowledgment for Access to Protective Order Material,”
`
`unless otherwise agreed by the Designating Party or ordered by the Board. Pages of
`
`transcribed deposition testimony or exhibits to depositions that reveal Protected
`
`12
`
`Sleep Number Corp.
`EXHIBIT 2025
`IPR2019-00500
`Page 12
`
`
`
`Material may be separately bound by the court reporter and may not be disclosed to
`
`anyone except as permitted under this Stipulated Protective Order; and
`
`(vi)
`
`any mediator or settlement officer, and their supporting
`
`personnel, mutually agreed upon by any of the parties engaged in settlement
`
`discussion.
`
`(C)
`
`In accordance with the District Court Cases’ September 26, 2019 Order
`
`modifying the protective order in the District Court Cases, any District Court Cases
`
`documents used in this IPR/Action must have private Source Code information from
`
`third parties redacted. This does not include the Source Code information that is the
`
`property of Petitioner American National Manufacturing, Inc., Real-Party-in-
`
`Interest Sizewise Rentals, LLC, and Patent Owner Sleep Number Corporation,
`
`which are subject to the protections set forth above. For the avoidance of doubt,
`
`ANM represents that all of the source code that is utilized in its and Sizewise’s
`
`accused products and referenced in Patent Owner’s District Court Cases
`
`Infringement Contentions is third-party source code that must be redacted.
`
`Specifically, ANM represents that the source code owned and voluntarily produced
`
`by Medisphere in the District Court Cases is a third party source code under this
`
`subparagraph, and includes the Platinum 5000/6000 source code identified as
`
`“Medisphere” in Patent Owner’s Infringement Contentions. ANM further represents
`
`that the source code produced by Sizewise in the District Court Cases is in fact
`
`owned by third party Elsyn and includes the Platinum 5000/6000 source code
`
`identified as “Platinum” in Patent Owner’s Infringement Contentions; Elsyn has
`
`promised to assign this source code to Sizewise, though no assignment has been
`
`13
`
`Sleep Number Corp.
`EXHIBIT 2025
`IPR2019-00500
`Page 13
`
`
`
`prepared or executed. Additionally, ANM represents that the Providence source
`
`code is the property of third-party Providence, and includes the versions of the
`
`Providence code identified as Versions 1.8, 1.97, and 2.0 in Patent Owner’s
`
`Infringement Contentions. As a result, to the extent such third-party Source Code
`
`information is not obtained or allowed to be used directly in this IPR/Action, the
`
`District Court Cases’ September 26, 2019 Order requires redaction of the Source
`
`Code line numbers and variable and method names in Patent Owner’s Infringement
`
`Contentions and does not allow for filing the Source Code itself. However, nothing
`
`herein prevents Petitioner, Patent Owner, or their respective Experts from drawing
`
`conclusions as to whether Source Code reads on each claim limitation of the patents
`
`at issue in this IPR/Action.
`
`39. Persons receiving confidential information shall use reasonable efforts to
`
`maintain the confidentiality of the information, including:
`
`(A) Maintaining such information in a secure location to which persons not
`
`authorized to receive the information shall not have access;
`
`(B) Otherwise using reasonable efforts to maintain the confidentiality of the
`
`information, which efforts shall be no less rigorous than those the recipient uses to
`
`maintain the confidentiality of information not received from the disclosing party;
`
`(C) Ensuring that support personnel of the recipient who have access to the
`
`confidential information understand and abide by the obligation to maintain the
`
`confidentiality of information received that is designated as confidential; and
`
`14
`
`Sleep Number Corp.
`EXHIBIT 2025
`IPR2019-00500
`Page 14
`
`
`
`(D) Limiting the copying of confidential information to a reasonable
`
`number of copies needed for conduct of the proceeding and maintaining a record of
`
`the locations of such copies.
`
`410. Persons receiving confidential information shall use the following procedures
`
`to maintain the confidentiality of the information:
`
`(A) Documents and Information Filed With the Board.
`
`(i) A party may file documents or information with the Board under
`
`seal, together with a non-confidential description of the nature of the confidential
`
`information that is under seal and the reasons why the information is confidential
`
`and should not be made available to the public. The submission shall be treated as
`
`confidential and remain under seal, unless, upon motion of a party and after a
`
`hearing on the issue, or sua sponte, the Board determines that the documents or
`
`information do not to qualify for confidential treatment.
`
`(ii) Where confidentiality is alleged as to some but not all of the
`
`information submitted to the Board, the submitting party shall file confidential and
`
`non-confidential versions of its submission, together with a Motion to Seal the
`
`confidential version setting forth the reasons why the information redacted from the
`
`non-confidential version is confidential and should not be made available to the
`
`public. The nonconfidential version of the submission shall clearly indicate the
`
`locations of information that has been redacted. The confidential version of the
`
`submission shall be filed under seal. The redacted information shall remain under
`
`seal unless, upon motion of a party and after a hearing on the issue, or sua sponte,
`
`the Board determines that some or all of the redacted information does not qualify
`
`15
`
`Sleep Number Corp.
`EXHIBIT 2025
`IPR2019-00500
`Page 15
`
`
`
`for confidential treatment. The only exception to the foregoing is for private Source
`
`Code information from third parties, which must be redacted in all cases and need
`
`not be accompanied by a Motion to Seal.
`
`(B) Documents and
`
`Information Exchanged Among
`
`the Parties.
`
`Information designated as confidential that is disclosed to another party during
`
`discovery or other proceedings before the Board shall be clearly marked as
`
`‘‘PROTECTIVE ORDER MATERIAL’’ “CONFIDENTIAL,” “HIGHLY
`
`CONFIDENTIAL
`
`– OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY,”
`
`or
`
`“HIGHLY
`
`CONFIDENTIAL SOURCE CODE – OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY” and shall be
`
`produced in a manner that maintains its confidentiality.
`
`(iC) Standard Acknowledgement of Protective Order. The following form
`
`may be used to acknowledge a protective order and gain access to information
`
