`
`A.
`
`PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS
`
`Discovery in this action is likely to involve production of confidential,
`
`proprietary, or private information for which special protection from public
`
`disclosure and from use for any purpose other than prosecuting this litigation may
`
`be warranted. Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to and petition the Court to
`
`enter the following Stipulated Protective Order. The parties acknowledge that this
`
`Order does not confer blanket protections on all disclosures or responses to
`
`discovery and that the protection it affords from public disclosure and use extends
`
`only to the limited information or items that are entitled to confidential treatment
`
`10
`
`under the applicable legal principles. The parties further acknowledge, as set forth
`
`11
`
`in Section 12.3, below, that this Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle them to
`
`12
`
`file confidential information under seal; Civil Local Rule 79-5 sets forth the
`
`13
`
`procedures that must be followed and the standards that will be applied when a party
`
`14
`
`seeks permission from the court to file material under seal.
`
`15
`
`16
`
`
`
`
`
`B. GOOD CAUSE STATEMENT
`
`This action is likely to involve confidential product and patent information,
`
`17
`
`trade secrets, customer and pricing lists or records, software code, technical
`
`18
`
`drawings and reports, business and/or marketing plans, records, and analysis, and
`
`19
`
`other valuable research, development, commercial, financial, technical, and/or
`
`20
`
`proprietary information for which special protection from public disclosure and
`
`21
`
`from use for any purpose other than prosecution of this action is warranted. Such
`
`22
`
`confidential and proprietary materials and information further consists of, among
`
`23
`
`other things, confidential business or financial information, information regarding
`
`24
`
`products and patents, information regarding confidential business practices,
`
`25
`
`processes, operations, and style of work, or other confidential research,
`
`26
`
`development, or commercial information (including information implicating
`
`27
`
`privacy rights of third parties), information otherwise generally unavailable to the
`
`28

`
`public, or which may be privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure under
`
`state or federal statutes, court rules, case decisions, or common law. Accordingly,
`
`to expedite the flow of information, to facilitate the prompt resolution of disputes
`
`over confidentiality of discovery materials, to adequately protect information the
`
`parties are entitled to keep confidential, to ensure that the parties are permitted
`
`reasonable necessary uses of such material in preparation for and in the conduct of
`
`trial, to address their handling at the end of the litigation, and serve the ends of
`
`justice, a protective order for such information is justified in this matter. It is the
`
`intent of the parties that information will not be designated as confidential for
`
`10
`
`tactical reasons and that nothing be so designated without a good faith belief that it
`
`11
`
`has been maintained in a confidential, non-public manner, and there is good cause
`
`12
`
`why it should not be part of the public record of this case.

`
`DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL
`
`
`
`5.1 Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection.
`
`Each Party or Non-Party that designates information or items for protection under
`
`this Order must take care to limit any such designation to specific material that
`
`10
`
`qualifies under the appropriate standards. The Designating Party must designate
`
`11
`
`for protection only those parts of material, documents, items or oral or written
`
`12
`
`communications that qualify so that other portions of the material, documents,
`
`13
`
`items or communications for which protection is not warranted are not swept
`
`14
`
`unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order.
`
`15
`
`
`
`Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited.
`
`16
`
`Designations that are shown to be clearly unjustified or that have been made for an
`
`17
`
`improper purpose (e.g., to unnecessarily encumber the case development process
`
`18
`
`or to impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the
`
`19
`
`Designating Party to sanctions.
`
`20
`
`
`
`If it comes to a Designating Party’s attention that information or items that it
`
`21
`
`designated for protection do not qualify for protection, that Designating Party must
`
`22
`
`promptly notify all other Parties that it is withdrawing the inapplicable designation.
`
`23
`
`
`
`5.2 Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in
`
`24
`
`this Order (see, e.g., second paragraph of section 5.2(a) below), or as otherwise
`
`25
`
`stipulated or ordered, Disclosure or Discovery Material that qualifies for protection
`
`26
`
`under this Order must be clearly so designated before the material is disclosed or
`
`27
`
`produced.

`
`Designation in conformity with this Order requires:
`
`(a)
`
`for information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic
`
`documents, but excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial
`
`proceedings), that the Producing Party affix, at a minimum, the legend
`
`“CONFIDENTIAL,” “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – OUTSIDE COUNSEL
`
`ONLY,” “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL SOURCE CODE – OUTSIDE COUNSEL
`
`ONLY” (hereinafter “CONFIDENTIAL legend”), to each page that contains
`
`protected material, in a manner that will not interfere with the legibility of the
`
`document. If only a portion of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the
`
`10
`
`Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making
`
`11
`
`appropriate markings in the margins).
`
`12
`
`
`
`A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents available for inspection
`
`13
`
`need not designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has indicated
`
`14
`
`which documents it would like copied and produced. During the inspection and
`
`15
`
`before the designation, all of the material made available for inspection shall be
`
`16
`
`deemed “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – OUTSIDE
`
`17
`
`COUNSEL ONLY,” and all information learned in the course of such an
`
`18
`
`inspection shall be protected in accordance with such designation. After the
`
`19
`
`inspecting Party has identified the documents it wants copied and produced, the
`
`20
`
`Producing Party must determine which documents, or portions thereof, qualify for
`
`21
`
`protection under this Order. Then, before producing the specified documents, the
`
`22
`
`Producing Party must affix the “CONFIDENTIAL legend” to each page that
`
`23
`
`contains Protected Material. If only a portion or portions of the material on a page
`
`24
`
`qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the
`
`25
`
`protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins).
`
`26
`
`
`
`(b)
`
`for testimony given in depositions that the Designating Party identify
`
`27
`
`the Disclosure or Discovery Material on the record, before the close of the

`deposition all protected testimony and specify the level of protection being
`

`
`that is entitled to protection and it appears that substantial portions of the testimony
`
`may qualify for protection, the Designating Party may temporarily designate as
`
`protected the entire rough transcript and will have up to 30 days from receipt of the
`
`final transcript to identify the specific portions of testimony as to which protection
`
`is warranted and to specify the level of protection being asserted. Only those
`
`portions of the testimony that are appropriately designated for protection within 30
`
`days from receipt of the final transcript shall be covered by the provisions of this
`
`10
`
`Stipulated Protective Order. Alternatively, a Designating Party may specify, at the
`
`11
`
`deposition or up to 21 days afterwards if that protection is properly invoked, that
`
`12
`
`the entire transcript shall be treated as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY
`
`13
`
`CONFIDENTIAL – OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY.” Any transcript that is
`
`14
`
`prepared before the expiration of a 21-period for designation shall be treated
`
`15
`
`during that period as if it had been designated “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL –

`The use of a document as an exhibit at a deposition shall not in any way

`
`information and items designated “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL
`
`SOURCE CODE – OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY” shall be produced in
`
`accordance with the procedure described in section 7.4. 5.3
`
`Inadvertent
`
`Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent failure to designate
`
`qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive the Designating
`
`Party’s right to secure protection under this Order for such material. Upon timely
`
`correction of a designation, the Receiving Party must make reasonable efforts to
`
`assure that the material is treated in accordance with the provisions of this Order.

`
`CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS
`
`11
`
`
`
`6.1. Timing of Challenges. Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a
`
`12
`
`designation of confidentiality at any time that is consistent with the Court’s
`
`13
`
`Scheduling Order.
`
`14
`
`
`
`6.2 Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute
`
`15
`
`resolution process under Local Rule 37-1, et seq. Any discovery motion must
`
`16
`
`strictly comply with the procedures set forth in Local Rules 37-1, 37-2, and 37-3.
`
`17
`
`
`
`6.3 Burden. The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding
`
`18
`
`shall be on the Designating Party. Frivolous challenges, and those made for an
`
`19
`
`improper purpose (e.g., to harass or impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on
`
`20
`
`other parties) may expose the Challenging Party to sanctions. Unless the
`
`21
`
`Designating Party has waived or withdrawn the confidentiality designation, all
`
`22
`
`parties shall continue to afford the material in question the level of protection to
`
`23
`
`which it is entitled under the Producing Party’s designation until the Court rules on
`
`24
`
`the challenge.
`
`25
`
`7. ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
`
`26
`
`
`
`7.1 Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that
`
`27
`
`is disclosed or produced by another Party or by a Non-Party in connection with this
