`
`Defendants.
`
`PATENT PROTECTIVE ORDER
`
`WHEREAS, Plaintiff Hitachi Maxell, Ltd. and Defendant ZTE (USA) Inc. (collectively,
`
`“the Parties” and, individually, “Party”) believe that certain information that is or will be
`
`encompassed by discovery demands by the Parties involves the production or disclosure of trade
`
`secrets, confidential business information, or other proprietary information;
`
`WHEREAS, the Parties seek a protective order limiting disclosure thereof in accordance
`
`with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(c):
`
`THEREFORE, it is hereby stipulated among the Parties and ORDERED that:
`
`1.
`
`Each Party may designate as confidential for protection under this Order, in whole or in
`
`part, any document, information or material that constitutes or includes, in whole or in
`
`part, confidential or proprietary information or trade secrets of the Party or a Third Party
`
`to whom the Party reasonably believes it owes an obligation of confidentiality with
`
`respect to such document, information or material (“Protected Material”). Protected
`
`Material shall be designated by the Party producing it by affixing a legend or stamp on
`
`such document, information or material as follows: “CONFIDENTIAL.” The word

`Case 5:16-cv-00179-RWS Document 34 Filed 03/06/17 Page 2 of 26 PageID #: 387
`
`“CONFIDENTIAL” shall be placed clearly on each page of the Protected Material
`
`(except deposition and hearing transcripts) for which such protection is sought. For
`
`deposition and hearing transcripts, the word “CONFIDENTIAL” shall be placed on the
`
`cover page of the transcript (if not already present on the cover page of the transcript
`
`when received from the court reporter) by each attorney receiving a copy of the transcript
`
`after that attorney receives notice of the designation of some or all of that transcript as
`
`“CONFIDENTIAL.”
`

`
`Any document produced under Patent Rules 2-2, 3-2, and/or 3-4 before issuance of this
`
`Order with the designation “Confidential” or “Confidential - Outside Attorneys’ Eyes
`
`Only” shall receive the same treatment as if designated “RESTRICTED - ATTORNEYS’
`
`EYES ONLY” under this Order, unless and until such document is redesignated to have a
`
`different classification under this Order.
`

`
`With respect to documents, information or material designated “CONFIDENTIAL,
`
`“RESTRICTED - ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,” or “RESTRICTED CONFIDENTIAL
`
`SOURCE CODE” (“DESIGNATED MATERIAL”),1 subject to the provisions herein and
`
`unless otherwise stated, this Order governs, without limitation: (a) all documents,
`
`electronically stored information, and/or things as defined by the Federal Rules of Civil
`
`Procedure; (b) all pretrial, hearing or deposition testimony, or documents marked as
`
`exhibits or for identification in depositions and hearings; (c) pretrial pleadings, exhibits to

`
`reproductions, extracts, digests and complete or partial summaries prepared from any
`
`DESIGNATED MATERIALS shall also be considered DESIGNATED MATERIAL and
`
`treated as such under this Order.
`

`
`A designation of Protected Material (i.e., “CONFIDENTIAL,” “RESTRICTED,”
`
`ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,” or “RESTRICTED CONFIDENTIAL SOURCE
`
`CODE”) may be made at any time. Inadvertent or unintentional production of
`
`documents, information or material that has not been designated as DESIGNATED
`
`MATERIAL shall not be deemed a waiver in whole or in part of a claim for confidential
`
`treatment. Any party that inadvertently or unintentionally produces Protected Material
`
`without designating it as DESIGNATED MATERIAL may request destruction of that
`
`Protected Material by notifying the recipient(s), as soon as reasonably possible after the
`
`producing Party becomes aware of the inadvertent or unintentional disclosure, and
`
`providing replacement Protected Material that is properly designated. The recipient(s)
`
`shall then destroy all copies of the inadvertently or unintentionally produced Protected
`
`Materials and any documents, information or material derived from or based thereon.
`
`5.
`
`“CONFIDENTIAL” documents, information and material may be disclosed only to the
`
`following persons, except upon receipt of the prior written consent of the designating
`
`party, upon order of the Court, or as set forth in paragraph 12 herein:

`
`to designate one or more
`
`additional
`
`employee
`
`representatives and the other party shall not unreasonably withhold such consent;

`
`expert has completed the Undertaking attached as Exhibit A hereto and the same
`
`is served upon the producing Party with a current curriculum vitae of the
`

`
`Material to the consultant or expert. The Parties agree to promptly confer and use
`
`good faith to resolve any such objection. If the Parties are unable to resolve any
`
`objection, the objecting Party may file a motion with the Court within fifteen (15)
`
`days of the notice, or within such other time as the Parties may agree, seeking a
`
`protective order with respect to the proposed disclosure. The objecting Party shall
`
`have the burden of proving the need for a protective order. No disclosure shall
`
`occur until all such objections are resolved by agreement or Court order;
`
`f.
`
`independent litigation support services, including persons working for or as court
`

`
`6.
`
`A Party shall designate documents, information or material as “CONFIDENTIAL” only
`
`upon a good faith belief that the documents, information or material contains confidential
`
`or proprietary information or trade secrets of the Party or a Third Party to whom the Party

`
`reasonably believes it owes an obligation of confidentiality with respect to such
`
`documents, information or material.
`
`7.
`
`Documents, information or material produced pursuant to any discovery request in this
`
`Action, including but not limited to Protected Material designated as DESIGNATED
`
`MATERIAL, shall be used by the Parties only in the litigation of this Action and shall
`
`not be used for any other purpose. Any person or entity who obtains access to
`
`DESIGNATED MATERIAL or the contents thereof pursuant to this Order shall not
`
`make any copies, duplicates, extracts, summaries or descriptions of such DESIGNATED
`
`MATERIAL or any portion thereof except as may be reasonably necessary in the
`
`litigation of this Action. Any such copies, duplicates, extracts, summaries or descriptions
`
`shall be classified DESIGNATED MATERIALS and subject to all of the terms and
`
`conditions of this Order.
`
`8.
`
`To the extent a producing Party believes that certain Protected Material qualifying to be
`
`designated CONFIDENTIAL is so sensitive that its dissemination deserves even further
`
`limitation, the producing Party may designate such Protected Material “RESTRICTED --
`
`ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,” or to the extent such Protected Material includes
`
`computer source code and/or live data (that is, data as it exists residing in a database or
`
`databases) (“Source Code Material”), the producing Party may designate such Protected
`
`Material as “RESTRICTED CONFIDENTIAL SOURCE CODE.”
`
`9.
`
`For Protected Material designated RESTRICTED – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY, access
`
`to, and disclosure of, such Protected Material shall be limited to individuals listed in
`
`paragraphs 5(a-c) and (e-g); provided, however, that access by in-house counsel pursuant

`
`making authority on behalf of the client.
`
`10.
`
`For Protected Material designated RESTRICTED CONFIDENTIAL SOURCE CODE,
`
`the following additional restrictions apply:
`
`a. Access to a Party’s Source Code Material shall be provided to the receiving
`
`Party’s outside counsel and/or experts in a secure room (“Source Code Review
`
`Room”) and only on “stand-alone” computer(s) (that is, the computer on which all
`
`access ports have been disabled (except for the printer port) that may not be
`
`linked to any network, including a local area network (“LAN”), an intranet or the
`
`Internet (“Source Code Computer”). The Source Code Computer may only be
`
`connected to (i) a printer, or (ii) a device capable of temporarily storing electronic
`
`copies solely for the limited purposes permitted pursuant to paragraphs 10 (h and
`
`k) below. Further, the Source Code Computer shall be equipped with a
`
`reasonably current version of the Microsoft Windows operating system or, if the
`
`code was developed in a Linux environment, then a reasonably current version of
`
`Ubuntu. The receiving Party may use appropriate tool software for the type of
`
`Source Code on the Source Code Computer, which shall be installed by producing
`
`Party. The provided Source Code Computer shall be reasonably powerful, such
`
`that it operates the tool software in a reasonable amount of time, e.g., conduct a
`
`grep search of the provided code in a reasonable amount of time. The Source
`
`Code Computer shall be located in a reasonably comfortable office environment
`
`and be equipped with a 19” (diagonal measurement) or larger monitor running at
`
`its native resolution, as well as a keyboard and mouse. Additionally, except as

`
`provided in paragraph 10(k) below, the stand-alone computer(s) may only be
`
`located at the U.S. offices of the producing Party’s outside counsel. No
`
`recordable media or recordable devices, including without limitation sound
`
`recorders, computers, cellular telephones, peripheral equipment, cameras, CDs,
`
`DVDs, or drives of any kind, shall be permitted into the Source Code Review
`
`Room;
`
`b. The receiving Party shall make reasonable efforts to restrict its requests for such
`
`access to the stand-along computer(s) to normal business hours, which for
`
`purposes of this paragraph shall be 8:00 a.m. through 6:00 p.m. However, upon
`
`reasonable notice from the receiving party, the producing Party shall make
`
`reasonable efforts to accommodate the receiving Party’s request for access to the
`
`stand-alone computer(s) outside of normal business hours. The Parties agree to
`
`cooperate in good faith such that maintaining the producing Party’s Source Code
`
`Material at the offices of its outside counsel shall not unreasonably hinder the
`
`receiving Party’s ability to efficiently and effectively conduct the prosecution or
`
`defense of this Action;
`
`c. The producing Party shall provide the receiving Party with information explaining
`
`how to start, log on to, and operate the stand-alone computer(s) in order to access
`
`the produced Source Code Material on the stand-alone computer(s);
`
`d. The producing Party will produce Source Code Material in computer searchable
`
`format on the stand-alone computer(s) as described above;

`
`necessary under 5(f), and up to four (4) outside consultants or experts2 (i.e., not
`
`existing employees or affiliates of a Party or an affiliate of a Party) retained for
`
`the purpose of this litigation and approved to access such Protected Materials
`
`pursuant to paragraph 5(e) above. All persons who will review a producing
`
`Party’s Source Code Material on behalf of a receiving Party, including members
`
`of a receiving Party’s outside law firm, shall be identified in writing to the
`
`producing Party at least two (2) days in advance of the first time that such person
`
`reviews such Source Code. Such identification shall be in addition to any other
`
`disclosure required under this Order. All persons viewing Source Code shall sign
`
`on each day they view Source Code a log that will include the names of persons
`
`who enter the locked room to view the Source Code and when they enter and
`
`depart. Proper identification of all authorized persons shall be provided prior to
`
`any access to the Source Code Review Room or the Source Code Computer.
`
`Proper identification requires showing, at a minimum, a passport or photo
`
`identification card sanctioned by the government of any State of the United States
`
`or by the government of the United States. The producing Party shall be entitled
`
`to a copy of the log upon one (1) day’s advance notice to the receiving Party. A
`
`receiving Party may include excerpts of Source Code Material in a pleading,
`
`exhibit, expert report, discovery document, deposition transcript, other Court
`
`document, provided that the Source Code Documents are appropriately marked
`
`under this Order, restricted to those who are entitled to have access to them as
`
`2 2 For the purposes of this paragraph, an outside consultant or expert is defined to include the outside consultant’s
`or expert’s direct reports and other support personnel, such that the disclosure to a consultant or expert who employs
`others within his or her firm to help in his or her analysis shall count as a disclosure to a single consultant or expert.

`
`specified herein, and, if filed with the Court, filed under seal in accordance with
`
`the Court’s rules, procedures and orders;
`
`f. To the extent portions of Source Code Material are quoted in a Source Code
`
`Document, either (1) the entire Source Code Document will be stamped and
`
`treated as RESTRICTED CONFIDENTIAL SOURCE CODE or (2) those pages
`
`containing quoted Source Code Material will be separately stamped and treated as
`
`RESTRICTED CONFIDENTIAL SOURCE CODE;
`
`g. Except as set forth in paragraph 10(k) below, no electronic copies of Source Code
`
`Material shall be made without prior written consent of the producing Party,
`
`except as necessary to create documents which, pursuant to the Court’s rules,
`
`procedures and order, must be filed or served electronically;
`

`
`in the Source Code Review Room but may not copy the Source Code verbatim
`
`into such notes and may not take such notes electronically on the Source Code
`
`Computer itself or any other computer.
`
`i. The receiving Party shall be permitted to make a reasonable number of printouts
`
`and photocopies of Source Code Material on a provided laser printer with
`
`commercially reasonable printing speeds for on-site printing during inspection of
`
`the Source Code Material. The receiving Party may print limited portions of the
`
`Source Code only when necessary to prepare court filings or pleadings or other
`
`papers (including a testifying expert’s expert report and claim charts supporting
`
`infringement contentions). Printed portions of a continuous block of Source Code
`
`for the accused product shall not exceed ten (10) pages unless otherwise agreed

`
`by the parties, whose reasonable request for agreement shall not be denied. The
`
`receiving Party may print no more than 50 pages for each accused product, unless
`
`otherwise agreed by the Parties, whose reasonable request for agreement shall not
`
`be withheld. The receiving Party shall not print Source Code in order to review
`
`blocks of Source Code elsewhere in the first instance, i.e., as an alternative to
`
`reviewing that Source Code electronically on the Source Code Computer, as the
`
`Parties acknowledge and agree that the purpose of the protections herein would be
`
`frustrated by printing portions of code for review and analysis elsewhere, and that
`
`printing is permitted, only when necessary to prepare court filings or pleadings or
`
`other papers (including a testifying expert’s expert report and claim charts
`
`supporting infringement contentions). Upon printing any such portions of Source
`
`Code, the printed pages shall be collected by the producing Party. The producing
`
`Party shall Bates and line number, copy, and clearly label as “RESTRICTED
`
`CONFIDENTIAL SOURCE CODE” any pages printed by the receiving Party.
`
`The receiving Party shall maintain a log of all such files that are printed or
`
`photocopied. Within three (3) business days, the producing Party shall either (i)
`
`provide one copy set of such unobjected pages to the receiving Party or (ii) inform
`
`the requesting Party of its objection, if any, that the printed portions withheld are
`
`excessive and/or not done for a permitted purpose. If, after meeting and
`
`conferring, the producing Party and the receiving Party cannot resolve the
`
`objection, the producing Party shall be entitled to file a Motion for Further
`
`Protection with the Court within five (5) days of the objection to resolve whether
`
`the printed Source Code in question is narrowly tailored and was printed for a

`
`permitted purpose. Failure to file within this period requires immediate
`
`production of the disputed material. The burden shall be on the producing Party
`
`to demonstrate that such printed portions are more than is reasonably necessary
`
`for a permitted purpose and printed primarily for the purposes of review and
`
`analysis elsewhere in the first instance, i.e., as an alternative to reviewing that
`
`Source Code electronically on the Source Code Computer. The printed pages
`
`shall constitute part of the Source Code produced by the producing Party in each
`
`action, all of which shall be designated and clearly labeled “RESTRICTED
`
`CONFIDENTIAL SOURCE CODE,” and the receiving Party shall maintain a log
`
`of all such files that are printed or photocopied;
`
`j. The receiving Party’s outside counsel of record may make no more than five (5)
`
`additional paper copies of any portions of the Source Code received from a
`
`producing Party pursuant to Paragraph 10(i) not including copies attached to court
`
`filings or used at depositions;

`
`If the receiving Party’s outside counsel, consultants, or experts obtain printouts or
`
`photocopies of Source Code Material, the receiving Party shall ensure that such
`
`outside counsel, consultants, or experts keep the printouts or photocopies in a
`
`secured locked area in the offices of such outside counsel, consultants, or expert.
`
`At least forty-eight (48) hours before the date of deposition, the receiving Party
`
`shall notify the producing Party about the specific portions of Source Code it
`
`wishes to use at the deposition, and the producing Party shall bring printed copies
`
`of those portions to the deposition for use by the receiving Party, with the

`
`work in good faith to provide sufficient notice such that the Source Code Material
`
`can transported or made available at the location of the deposition. Copies of
`
`Source Code that are marked as deposition exhibits shall not be provided to the
`
`Court Reporter or attached to deposition transcripts; rather, the deposition record
`
`will identify the exhibit by its production numbers. All papers copies of Source
`
`Code brought to the deposition shall remain with the producing Party’s outside
`
`counsel for secure destruction in a timely manner following the deposition or
`
`proceeding. The receiving Party may also temporarily keep the printouts or
`
`photocopies at the Court for any proceedings(s) relating to the Source Code
`
`Material, for the dates associated with the proceeding(s); and (ii) one attorney
`
`working copy at the sites where any deposition(s) relating to the Source Code
`
`Material are taken, for the dates associated with the deposition(s) and any
`
`intermediate location reasonably necessary to transport the working copy (e.g., a
`
`hotel prior to a Court proceeding or deposition); and,
`
`l. A producing Party’s Source Code Material may only be transported by the
`
`receiving Party at the direction of a person authorized under paragraph 10(e)
`
`above to another person authorized under paragraph 10(e) above, on paper via
`
`hand carry, Federal Express or other similarly reliable courier. Source Code
`
`Material may not be transported or transmitted electronically over a network of
`
`any kind, including a LAN, an intranet, or the Internet. Except as provided in this
`
`sub-paragraph, absent express written permission from the producing Party, the
`
`receiving Party may not create electronic images, or any other images, or make
`
`electronic copies, of the Source Code from any paper copy of Source Code for use

`
`in any manner (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
`
`Source Code shall not be included in correspondence between the Parties
`
`(references to production numbers shall be used instead), and shall be omitted
`
`from pleadings and other papers whenever possible. If a Party reasonably
`
`believes that it needs to submit a portion of Source Code as part of a filing with
`
`the Court, the Party shall make such a filing while protecting the confidentiality of
`
`the Source Code. If such filing requires a certificate of conference pursuant to
`
`Local Rule 7(i), the filing Party shall disclose to the producing Party during the
`
`conference the amount of the Source Code to be included with the filing.
`
`Following any filing, the filing Party shall disclose to the producing Party the
`
`entirety of any Source Code that was imaged within two days subsequent to the
`
`filing. If a producing Party agrees to produce an electronic copy of all or any
`
`portion of its Source Code, access to the receiving Party’s submission,
`
`communication, and/or disclosure of electronic files or other materials containing
`
`any portion of Source Code (paper or electronic) shall at all times be limited
`
`solely to individuals who are expressly authorized to view Source Code under the
`
`provisions of this Order. Additionally, any such electronic copies must be labeled
`
`“RESTRICTED CONFIDENTIAL SOURCE CODE” as provided for in this
`
`Order.

`
`SOURCE CODE (collectively “HIGHLY SENSITIVE MATERIAL”), who obtains,
`
`receives, has access to, or otherwise learns, in whole or in part, the other Party’s
`
`HIGHLY SENSITIVE MATERIAL under this Order shall not prepare, prosecute,
`
`supervise, or assist in the preparation or prosecution of any patent application pertaining
`
`to the field of the invention of the patents-in-suit on behalf of the receiving Party or its
`
`acquirer, successor, predecessor, or other affiliate during the pendency of this Action and
`
`for one year after its conclusion, including any appeals. To ensure compliance with the
`
`purpose of this provision, each Party shall create an “Ethical Wall” between those
`
`persons with access to HIGHLY SENSITIVE MATERIAL and any individuals who, on
`
`behalf of the Party or its acquirer, successor, predecessor, or other affiliate, prepare,
`
`prosecute, supervise or assist in the preparation or prosecution of any patent application
`
`pertaining to the field of invention of the patents-in-suit. For sake of clarity, any attorney
`
`representing a Party, whether in-house or outside counsel, and any person associated with
`
`a Party and permitted to receive another Party’s HIGHLY SENSITIVE MATERIAL,
`
`may participate, supervise and assist in any and all proceedings before the U.S. Patent
`
`and Trademark Office related to the Party’s patents-in-suit, including without limitation
`
`Inter Partes Review (IPR) proceedings, even if they have received the other Party’s
`
`HIGHLY SENSITIVE MATERIAL, provided that they do not participate or assist in any
`
`claim drafting or amendment of claims in such proceedings.

`
`Nothing in this Order shall require production of documents, information or other
`
`material that a Party contends is protected from disclosure by the attorney-client

`
`Party that inadvertently or unintentionally produces documents, information or other
`
`material it reasonably believes are protected under the attorney-client privilege, work
`
`product doctrine, or other privilege, doctrine, or immunity may obtain the return of such
`
`documents, information or other material by promptly notifying the recipient(s) and
`
`providing a privilege log for the inadvertently or unintentionally produced documents,
`
`information or other material. The recipient(s) shall gather and return all copies of such
`
`documents, information or other material to the producing Party, except for any pages
`
`containing privileged or otherwise protected markings by the recipient(s), which pages
`
`shall instead be destroyed and certified as such to the producing Party.

`
`There shall be no disclosure of any DESIGNATED MATERIAL by any person
`

`
`entities.
