`
`and open proceedings wherever possible. The Order is also subject to the Local Rules of this
`
`District and the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure on matters of procedure and calculation of time
`
`periods.
`
`2.
`
`. A party may designate documents that it produces as
`Form and Timing of Designation
`
`confidential and restricted in disclosure under this Order by placing or affixing the words
`
`“CONFIDENTIAL - SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER” (hereinafter referred to as
`
`“CONFIDENTIAL”) or “ATTORNEYS EYES ONLY - SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER”
`
`(hereinafter referred to as “ATTORNEYS EYES ONLY”) or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL –
`SOURCE CODE – SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER” (hereinafter referred to as “HIGHLY
`
`CONFIDENTIAL - SOURCE CODE”) on the document in a manner that will not interfere with
`
`the legibility of the document and that will permit complete removal of the designation.
`
`Documents shall be designated prior to or at the time of the production or disclosure of the
`
`documents.
`
`When a tangible object is produced for inspection subject to protection under this Order, a
`
`photograph thereof shall be produced at the time of inspection labeled with the designation
`
`CONFIDENTIAL, ATTORNEYS EYES ONLY, or HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL - SOURCE
`
`CODE. Thereafter any information learned or obtained as a result of the inspection shall be subject
`
`to protection under this Order in accordance with the applicable designation. When electronically
`
`stored information is produced which cannot itself be marked with the designation
`
`CONFIDENTIAL, ATTORNEYS EYES ONLY, or HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL - SOURCE
`
`CODE, the physical media on which such electronically stored information is produced shall be
`
`marked with the applicable designation. The party receiving such electronically stored information
`
`shall then be responsible for labeling any copies that it creates thereof, whether electronic or paper,
`
`
`

`
`

`
`Case 2:12-cv-02767-JPM-tmp Document 74 Filed 03/07/14 Page 7 of 33 PageID 863
`
`with the applicable designation. By written stipulation the parties may agree temporarily to
`
`designate original documents that are produced for inspection CONFIDENTIAL, ATTORNEYS
`
`EYES ONLY, or HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL - SOURCE CODE even though the original
`
`documents being produced have not themselves been so labeled. All information learned in the
`
`course of such an inspection shall be protected in accordance with the stipulated designation. The
`
`copies of documents that are selected for copying during such an inspection shall be marked
`
`CONFIDENTIAL, ATTORNEYS EYES ONLY, or HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL - SOURCE
`
`CODE as required under this Order and thereafter the copies shall be subject to protection under
`
`this Order in accordance with their designation. The designation of documents for protection under
`
`this Order does not mean that the document has any status or protection by statute or otherwise
`
`except to the extent and for the purposes of this Order.
`
`3.
`
`Documents Which May be Designated CONFIDENTIAL
`
`. Any party may designate
`
`documents as CONFIDENTIAL upon making a good faith determination that the documents
`
`contain information protected from disclosure by statute or that should be protected from
`
`disclosure as confidential business or personal information, medical or psychiatric information,
`
`trade secrets, personnel records, or such other sensitive commercial information that is not
`
`publicly available. Public records and documents that are publicly available may not be designated
`
`for protection under this Order.
`
`4.
`
`Documents Which May be Designated ATTORNEYS EYES ONLY. Any party may
`
`designate documents as ATTORNEYS EYES ONLY upon making a good faith determination that
`
`the documents contain information protected from disclosure by statute or that should be protected
`
`from disclosure as trade secrets or other highly sensitive business or personal information, the
`
`
`

`
`

`
`Case 2:12-cv-02767-JPM-tmp Document 74 Filed 03/07/14 Page 8 of 33 PageID 864
`

`
`competitive position of the designating party.
`
`5.
`
`Documents Which May be Designated HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL - SOURCE
`
`CODE
`
`. Any party may designate documents as HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL - SOURCE CODE
`
`upon making a good faith determination that the items contain extremely sensitive information or
`
`items representing computer source code and associated comments, including any documents
`
`containing source code.
`
`6.
`
`Depositions. Deposition testimony shall be deemed CONFIDENTIAL, ATTORNEYS
`
`EYES ONLY, or HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL - SOURCE CODE only if designated as such. Such
`
`designation shall be specific as to the portions of the transcript or any exhibit designated for
`
`protection under this Order. Thereafter, the deposition testimony and exhibits so designated shall
`
`be protected, pending objection, under the terms of this Order. By stipulation read into the record
`
`the parties may agree temporarily to designate an entire deposition and the exhibits used therein for
`
`protection under this Order pending receipt and review of the transcript. In such a circumstance,
`
`the parties shall review the transcript within thirty (30) days of the receipt thereof and specifically
`
`designate the testimony and exhibits that will be protected under this Order. Thereafter only the
`
`specifically designated testimony and exhibits shall be protected under the terms of this Order.
`
`Alternatively, a designating party may specify, at the deposition or up to thirty (30) days
`
`afterwards if that period is properly invoked, that the entire transcript shall be treated as
`
`CONFIDENTIAL, ATTORNEYS EYES ONLY, or HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL - SOURCE
`
`CODE. Transcripts containing CONFIDENTIAL, ATTORNEYS EYES ONLY, or HIGHLY
`
`CONFIDENTIAL - SOURCE CODE shall have an obvious legend on the title page that the
`
`transcript contains CONFIDENTIAL, ATTORNEYS EYES ONLY, or HIGHLY

`
`CONFIDENTIAL - SOURCE CODE, and the title page shall be followed by a list of all pages
`
`(including line numbers as appropriate) that have been designated as CONFIDENTIAL,
`
`ATTORNEYS EYES ONLY, or HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL - SOURCE CODE and the level of
`
`protection being asserted by the designating party. The designating party shall inform the court
`
`reporter of these requirements. Any transcript that is prepared before the expiration of a thirty (30)
`
`day period for designation shall be treated during that period as if it had been designated
`
`CONFIDENTIAL, ATTORNEYS EYES ONLY, or HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL - SOURCE
`
`CODE in its entirety unless otherwise agreed. After the expiration of that period, the transcript
`
`shall be treated only as actually designated.

`
`(f) Source Code. Any source code produced by a party in discovery shall only be made
`
`available for inspection (not produced except as provided for below), in an electronic format
`
`allowing it to be reasonably reviewed and searched, using the following procedures:
`
`1. If source code is produced, the source code shall be made available for
`
`inspection during normal business hours or at other mutually agreeable times,
`
`at one of the following locations chosen at the sole discretion of the designating
`
`party: (a) an office of the designating party’s outside counsel of record; or (b)
`
`another mutually agreed upon location. Once the source code computers are set
`
`up and loaded with the source code, the requesting party shall give the
`
`designating party at least 7 days’ notice of any proposed inspection.
`
`2. The source code shall be made available for inspection on a single, secured,
`
`password-protected computer in a secured room without Internet access or
`
`network access to other computers. The receiving party shall not copy, remove,
`
`or otherwise transfer any portion of the source code onto any recordable media
`
`or recordable device. Use or possession of any input/output device (e.g., USB
`
`memory stick, cameras or any camera-enabled device, CDs, floppy disk,
`
`portable hard drive, laptop, cell phone, etc.) is prohibited while accessing the
`
`computer containing the Source Code. All persons entering the locked room
`
`containing the Source Code must agree to submit to reasonable security
`
`measures to ensure they are not carrying any prohibited items before they will
`
`be given access to the locked room. The designating party may visually
`
`monitor the activities of the receiving party’s representatives during any source
`
`

`
`code review, but only to ensure that there is no unauthorized recording,
`
`copying, or transmission of the source code.
`
`3. The designating party shall provide a backup secure computer within one
`
`business day in the event that the primary secure computer fails or otherwise
`
`suffers technical problems impeding the inspection.
`
`4. The receiving party's outside counsel and/or experts may request that
`
`commercially available licensed software tools for viewing and searching
`
`Source Code be installed on the secured computer. The receiving party must
`
`provide the designating party with the CD or DVD containing the agreed upon
`
`software tool(s) at least four business days in advance of the inspection. The
`
`tools may not allow the source code to be compiled. The designating party may
`
`object to such tools, and the parties shall meet and confer in good faith.
`
`5. The receiving party’s outside counsel and/or expert shall be entitled to take
`
`notes relating to the Source Code but may not copy any portion of the Source
`
`Code into the notes. No copies of all or any portion of the Source Code may
`
`leave the room in which the Source Code is inspected except as otherwise
`
`provided herein. Further, no other written or electronic record of the Source
`
`Code is permitted except as otherwise provided herein.
`
`6. A list of names of persons who will inspect the Source Code will be provided to
`
`the designating party in conjunction with any written (including email) notice
`
`requesting inspection.
`
`7. Unless otherwise agreed in advance by the parties in writing, following each
`
`inspection, the receiving party’s outside counsel and/or experts shall remove all
`
`

`
`

`
`Case 2:12-cv-02767-JPM-tmp Document 74 Filed 03/07/14 Page 18 of 33 PageID 874
`
`notes and documents from the room that may contain work product and/or
`
`attorney-client privileged information. The designating party shall not be
`
`responsible for any items left in the room following each inspection session.
`
`No person shall copy, e-mail, transmit, upload, download, print, photograph or otherwise
`
`duplicate any portion of the designated Source Code, unless explicitly permitted by this Order. The
`
`receiving party may request printed paper copies of limited portions of the Source Code, subject to
`
`the following provisions:
`
`1. All paper copies of Source Code excerpts shall be produced by the designating
`
`party within 5 business days of the request (unless additional time is needed due
`
`to the volume requested). The designating party shall provide all such source
`
`code excerpts in paper form, including bates numbers and the label “HIGHLY
`
`CONFIDENTIAL – SOURCE CODE.” At the inspecting party’s request, up to
`
`two additional sets (or subsets) of printed Source Code excerpts may be
`
`requested and provided by the designating party in a timely fashion.
`
`2. The portions of the Source Code selected for printing shall be limited to those
`
`portions that are believed to be reasonably necessary for the preparation of
`
`court filings, pleadings, expert reports, or other papers, or for deposition or trial.
`
`3. The receiving party shall not request paper copies for the purpose of reviewing
`
`the source code. The receiving party may not request paper copies of more than
`
`40 consecutive pages, or an aggregate total of more than 400 pages or 800 pages

`
`designating party.

`Case 2:12-cv-02767-JPM-tmp Document 74 Filed 03/07/14 Page 19 of 33 PageID 875
`
`4. In the event of a dispute over the amount of source code to be produced –i.e. if
`
`the designating party believes that the requested printouts are excessive, or if
`
`the receiving party believes that additional portions of source code are needed
`
`for adequate case preparation, the parties shall meet and confer in an attempt to
`
`resolve their dispute. In the event that the dispute cannot be resolved, either
`
`party may file a motion, pursuant to Local Rule 7.1, seeking to obtain the
`
`desired relief. The party seeking relief from the provisions of this order shall
`
`bear the burden of showing good cause for doing so.
`
`5. Any printed pages of Source Code, and any other documents or things reflecting
`
`Source Code that have been designated by the designating party as HIGHLY
`
`CONFIDENTIAL – SOURCE CODE may not be copied, digitally imaged or
`
`otherwise duplicated, except in limited excerpts necessary to attach as exhibits
`
`to depositions, expert reports, or court filings to the extent permitted below.
`
`6. The receiving party shall maintain all paper copies of any printed portions of the
`
`source code and any notes related to source code in a secured, locked area under
`
`the direct supervision of outside counsel for that party. The paper copies shall
`
`be stored or viewed only at (i) the offices of outside counsel for the receiving
`
`party, (ii) the site where any deposition is taken (iii) the Court; or (iv) any
`
`intermediate secure location necessary to transport the information to a hearing,
`
`trial or deposition. The source code shall also be kept in a locked container
`
`when not in use. The receiving party shall not create any electronic or other
`
`images of the paper copies and shall not convert any of the information
`
`contained in the paper copies into any electronic format except as provided for
`
`in Section 9 below.
`
`7. The receiving party shall only make additional paper copies of relevant portions
`
`of the source code to the extent such limited additional copies are (1) necessary

`
`expert’s expert report), (2) necessary for deposition, or (3) otherwise necessary
`
`for the preparation of its case, and at all times subject to the other protections
`
`provided in this Section. Any paper copies used during a deposition shall be
`
`retrieved by the party producing source code at the end of each day and must
`
`not be given to or left with a court reporter or any other unauthorized individual.
`
`8. The receiving party’s outside counsel shall maintain a log of all copies of the
`
`Source Code (received from a designating party). The log shall include the
`
`names of the recipients and reviewers of copies, and locations where the copies
`
`are stored. Upon request by the designating party, the receiving party shall
`
`provide reasonable assurances and/or descriptions of the security measures
`
`employed by the receiving party and/or qualified person that receives a copy of
