`
`PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS
`
`(a)

`
`be used by a Receiving Party solely for this case, and shall not be used directly or indirectly for

`
`absent a good faith belief that the designated material satisfies the criteria set forth below. If it

`

`
`or any related appellate proceeding, and not for any other purpose whatsoever, including without
`
`AGREED PROTECTIVE ORDER - PAGE 4
`
`

`

`Case 6:18-cv-00372-ADA Document 56 Filed 08/07/19 Page 5 of 31
`
`limitation any other litigation, patent prosecution or acquisition, patent reexamination or reissue
`
`proceedings, or any business or competitive purpose or function. Protected Material shall not be
`
`distributed, disclosed or made available to anyone except as expressly provided in this Order.
`
`(b)
`
`Patent Prosecution Bar. Absent the written consent of the Producing Party,
`
`any person on behalf of the Receiving Party who receives one or more items designated
`
`"CONFIDENTIAL ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY" or "CONFIDENTIAL ATTORNEYS'
`
`EYES ONLY
`
`SOURCE CODE" by the Producing Party shall not be involved, directly or
`
`indirectly, in any of the following activities: (i) advising on, consulting on, preparing, prosecuting,
`
`drafting, editing, and/or amending of patent applications, specifications, claims, and/or responses
`
`to office actions, or otherwise affecting the scope of claims in patents or patent applications relating
`
`to the functionality, operation, and design of mobile payment hardware or software, before any
`
`foreign or domestic agency, including the United States Patent and Trademark Office; and (ii) the
`
`acquisition of patents (including patent applications), or the rights to any such patents or patent
`
`applications with the right to sublicense, relating to the functionality, operation, and design of
`
`mobile payment hardware or software. These prohibitions are not intended to and shall not
`
`preclude counsel from participating in proceedings on behalf of a Party challenging the validity of
`
`any patent, including reexamination, inter partes review, covered business method review, or any
`
`post-grant review proceedings in the United States Patent and Trademark Office or elsewhere
`
`("Post-Grant Activity"). These prohibitions are not intended to and shall not preclude Plaintiff's
`
`litigation counsel from participating in any Post-Grant Activity, except that Plaintiffs litigation
`
`counsel may not advise on, consult on, prepare, prosecute, draft, edit, and/or amend patent claims,
`
`or otherwise advise on or affect the scope of claims in patents or patent applications relating to the
`
`functionality, operation, and design of mobile payment hardware or software, before any foreign
`
`AGREED PROTECTIVE ORDER - PAGE 5
`
`

`

`Case 6:18-cv-00372-ADA Document 56 Filed 08/07/19 Page 6 of 31
`
`or domestic agency, including the United States Patent and Trademark Office. These prohibitions
`
`shall begin when access
`
`to "CONFIDENTiAL
`
`ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY" or
`
`"CONFIDENTIAL ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY SOURCE CODE" are first received by the
`
`affected individual, and shall end two (2) years after the Final Disposition of this case, including
`
`all appeals.
`
`(c)
`
`Secure Storage, No Export. Protected Material must be stored and
`
`maintained by a Receiving Party at a location in the United States and in a secure manner that
`
`ensures that access is limited to the persons authorized under this Order. To ensure compliance
`
`with applicable United States Export Administration Regulations, Protected Material may not be
`
`exported outside the United States or released to any foreign national (even if within the United
`
`States).
`
`(d)
`
`Legal Advice Based on Protected Material. Nothing in this Protective Order
`
`shall be construed to prevent counsel from advising their clients with respect to this case based in
`
`whole or in part upon Protected Materials, provided counsel does not disclose the Protected
`
`Material itself except as provided in this Order.
`
`(e)
`
`Limitations. Nothing in this Order shall restrict in any way a Producing
`
`Party's use or disclosure of its own Protected Material. Nothing in this Order shall restrict in any
`
`way the use or disclosure of Discovery Material by a Receiving Party: (i) that is or has become
`
`publicly known through no fault of the Receiving Party; (ii) that is lawfully acquired by or known
`
`to the Receiving Party independent of the Producing Party; (iii) previously produced, disclosed,
`
`and/or provided by the Producing Party to the Receiving Party or a non-party without an
`
`obligation of confidentiality and not by inadvertence or mistake; (iv) with the consent of the
`
`Producing Party; or (v) pursuant to an order of the Court.

`
`DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL
`
`(a)
`
`Available Designations. Any Producing Party may designate Discovery
`
`Material with any of the following designations, provided that it meets the requirements for such
`
`designations as provided for herein: "CONFIDENTIAL," "CONFIDENTIAL - ATTORNEYS'
`
`EYES ONLY," or "CONFIDENTIAL OUTSIDE ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY - SOURCE
`
`CODE."
`
`(b) Written Discovery and Documents and Tangible Things. Written
`
`discovery, documents (which include "electronically stored information," as that phrase is used in
`
`Federal Rule of Procedure 34), and tangible things that meet the requirements for the
`
`confidentiality designations listed in Paragraph 7(a) may be so designated by placing the
`
`appropriate designation on every page of the written material prior to production. For digital files
`
`being produced, the Producing Party may mark each viewable page or image with the appropriate
`
`designation, and mark the medium, container, and/or communication in which the digital files were
`
`contained.
`
`In the event that original documents are produced for inspection, the original
`
`documents shall be presumed "CONFIDENTIAL ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY" during the
`
`inspection and re-designated, as appropriate during the copying process.
`
`(c)
`
`Native Files. Where electronic files and documents are produced in native
`
`electronic format, such electronic files and documents shall be designated for protection under this
`
`Order by appending to the file names or designators information indicating whether the file
`
`contains
`
`"CONFIDENTIAL," "CONFIDENTIAL - ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY," or
`
`"CONFIDENTIAL - OUTSIDE ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY - SOURCE CODE," material, or
`
`shall use any other reasonable method for so designating Protected Materials produced in
`
`electronic format. When electronic files or documents are printed for use at deposition, in a court
`
`AGREED PROTECTIVE ORDER - PAGE 7
`
`

`

`Case 6:18-cv-00372-ADA Document 56 Filed 08/07/19 Page 8 of 31
`
`proceeding, or for provision in printed form to an expert or consultant pre-approved pursuant to
`
`Paragraph 12, the Party printing the electronic files or documents shall affix a legend to the printed
`
`document corresponding to the confidentiality designation of the Producing Party and include the
`
`production number and designation associated with the native file. No one shall seek to use in this
`
`case a .tiff, .pdf or other image format version of a document produced in native file format without
`
`also providing a copy of the image format version to the Producing Party so that the Producing
`
`Party can review the image to ensure that no information has been altered.
`
`(d)
`
`Depositions and Testimony. Parties or testifying persons or entities may
`
`designate depositions and other testimony with the appropriate confidentiality designation by
`
`indicating on the record at the time the testimony is given or by sending written notice of how
`
`portions of the transcript of the testimony is designated within thirty (30) days of receipt of the
`
`transcript of the testimony. If no confidentiality designation on the record is made, all information
`disclosed during a deposition shall be deemed "CONFIDENTIAL - ATTORNEYS' EYES
`
`ONLY" until the thirty (30) day time period in which it may be appropriately designated, as
`
`provided for herein, has passed. Any Protected Material that is used in the taking of a deposition
`
`shall remain subject to the provisions of this Protective Order, along with the transcript pages of the
`
`deposition testimony dealing with such Protected Material. In such cases the court reporter shall
`
`be informed of this Protective Order and shall be required to operate in a manner consistent with
`
`this Protective Order. In the event the deposition is videotaped, the original and all copies of the
`
`videotape shall be marked by the video technician to indicate that the contents of the videotape are
`
`subject to this Protective Order, substantially along the lines of "This videotape contains
`
`confidential testimony used in this case and is not to be viewed or the contents thereof to be
`
`displayed or revealed except pursuant to the terms of the operative Protective Order in this
`
`AGREED PROTECTIVE ORDER - PAGE 8
`
`

`

`Case 6:18-cv-00372-ADA Document 56 Filed 08/07/19 Page 9 of 31
`
`matter or pursuant to written stipulation of the parties." Counsel for any Producing Party shall
`
`have the right to exclude from oral depositions, other than the deponent, deponent's counsel,
`
`the reporter and videographer (if any), any person who is not authorized by this Protective
`
`Order to receive or access Protected Material based on the designation of such Protected
`
`Material. Such right of exclusion shall be applicable only during periods of examination or
`
`testimony regarding such Protected Material.
`
`8.

`
`(a)

`
`Producing Party may

`
`sensitive information.

`
`(i)
`
`All Source Code shall be made available by the Producing Party to
`
`the Receiving Party's outside counsel and/or experts in a secure room on a secured computer
`
`without Internet access or network access to other computers and on which all access ports have
`
`been disabled (except for one printer port), as necessary and appropriate to prevent and protect
`
`against any unauthorized copying, transmission, removal, or other transfer of any Source Code
`
`outside or away from the computer on which the Source Code is provided for inspection (the
`
`"Source Code Computer" in the "Source Code Review Room"). The Producing Party shall install
`
`tools that are sufficient for viewing and searching the code produced, on the platform produced, if
`
`such tools exist and are presently used in the ordinary course of the Producing Party's business.
`
`The Receiving Party's outside counsel and/or experts may request that commercially available
`
`software tools for viewing and searching Source Code be installed on the secured computer,
`
`provided, however, that (a) the Receiving Party possesses an appropriate license to such software
`
`tools; (b) the software tools do not permit the compiling (running) of Source Code and the
`
`Producing Party approves such software tools; and (c) such other software tools are reasonably
`
`necessary for the Receiving Party to perform its review of the Source Code consistent with all of
`
`the protections herein. The Receiving Party must provide the Producing Party with the CD or
`
`DVD containing such licensed software tool(s) at least five (5) business days in advance of the
`
`date upon which the Receiving Party wishes to have the additional software tools available for use
`
`on the Source Code Computer.
`
`(ii)
`
`No recordable media or recordable devices, including without
`
`limitation sound recorders, computers, except as provided in Paragraph 11 (c)(iii), personal digital
`
`assistants (PDA5, cellular telephones, peripheral equipment, cameras, CDs, DVDs, or drives of

`
`any kind, (e.g., USB memory sticks and portable hard drives), shall be permitted into the Source
`
`Code Review Room.
`
`(iii)
`
`The Receiving Party's outside counsel and/or experts shall be
`
`entitled to take notes relating to the Source Code but may not copy the Source Code into the notes
`
`and may not take such notes electronically on the Source Code Computer itself or any other
`
`computer.
`
`(iv)
`
`The Producing Party may visually monitor the activities of the
`
`Receiving Party's representatives in the Source Code Review Room during any Source Code
`
`review, but only to ensure that no unauthorized electronic records of the Source Code and no
`
`information concerning the Source Code are being created or transmitted in any way. During the
`
`Receiving Party's review of the Source Code, the Producing Party shall not otherwise interfere
`
`with the Receiving Party's review of the Source Code and shall not be permitted access to the
`
`Receiving Party's notes, work product, or discussions inside the review room or following each
`
`day's inspection of the Source Code. During the Source Code review, the Producing Party agrees
`
`to provide a "break-out" room for the Receiving Party's Source Code reviewer(s) to make phone
`
`calls and work. To the extent such a break-out room is not reasonably available, the Producing
`
`Party agrees to so notify the Receiving Party at least three (3) business days in advance of any day
`
`on which the Receiving Party's Source Code reviewers are expected to inspect the Source Code.
`
`(v)
`
`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. The Producing Party shall make available a laser printer with commercially reasonable
`
`printing speeds for on-site printing during inspection of the Source Code. 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). Any printed portion that
`
`consists of more than twenty (20) pages of a continuous block of Source Code shall be presumed
`
`to be excessive, and the burden shall be on the Receiving Party to demonstrate the need for such a
`
`printed copy. The Receiving Party may print out no more than 250 pages total. 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). Upon printing any such portions of Source Code, the printed
`
`pages shall be collected by the Producing Party. The Producing Party shall Bates number, copy,
`
`and label "CONFIDENTIAL OUTSIDE ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY - SOURCE CODE" any
`
`pages printed by the Receiving Party. Within five (5) business days, the Producing Party shall
`
`either (i) provide one copy set of such pages to the Receiving Party or confirm that the copy has been
`
`sent to the Receiving Party via courier for two day delivery with a tracking number or (ii) inform the
`
`Requesting Party that it objects that the printed portions are excessive and/or not done for a permitted
`
`purpose. The Parties shall meet and confer within two (2) business day of any such objection. If
`
`after meeting and conferring the Parties cannot resolve the objection
