`
`language (RTL), hardware description language (HDL), circuit simulation files, non-programing
`
`files that are part of the source code development suite (such as README, Release Note, log and
`
`input files), design files (schematics, netlists, and layout files), microcode, and/or similarly
`
`sensitive code or schematics (i.e., representations of any silicon mask or circuit design, diagram,
`
`or blueprint containing specific gate-level circuit design representations) (collectively, “Source
`
`Code”) that the Designating Party believes in good faith is not generally known to others and has
`
`significant competitive value such that unrestricted disclosure to others would create a substantial
`
`risk of serious injury, and which the Designating Party (i) would not normally reveal to third
`
`parties except in confidence or has undertaken with others to maintain in confidence, or
`
`(ii) believes in good faith is significantly sensitive and protected by a right to privacy under federal
`

`
`refers or relates to Source Code (e.g., a copy, summary, or abstract is included therein), upon

`
`Receiving Party regarding whether the Producing Party will redact the relevant portion of the
`
`document and make the redacted document available as non-Source Code material subject to
`
`appropriate alternative designation. If the Parties are unable to agree within 5 business days of the
`
`meet and confer, the Parties will jointly seek the Court’s assistance in resolving the dispute. Any

`
`specifications, process sequence documents, die layout files, and process recipes) (collectively
`
`“Process Recipes”) which the Designating Party believes in good faith is not generally known to
`
`others, which has significant competitive value such that unrestricted disclosure to others would
`
`create a substantial risk of serious injury, and which the Designating Party, in the ordinary course
`
`of business, takes precautions to protect, and, further, which the Designating Party (i) would not
`
`normally reveal to third parties except in confidence or has undertaken with others to maintain in

`
`Party will meet and confer in good faith with the Receiving Party regarding whether the Producing
`
`Party will redact the relevant portion of the document and make the redacted document available
`
`as non-Process Recipe material subject to appropriate alternative designation. If the Parties are
`
`unable to agree within 5 business days of the meet and confer, the Parties will jointly seek the
`
`Court’s assistance in resolving the dispute. Samsung states that it treats Process Recipe Material
`
`in a manner that is at least as protective as Source Code. Any document designated as “OUTSIDE

`
`a competitive decisionmaker regarding equipment for physical vapor deposition of thin films in

`
`officer of that Party. For the avoidance of doubt, an individual is not a competitive decisionmaker
`
`solely by virtue of participating in the negotiation of settlement agreements. Each Party may have
`
`a maximum of one Litigation Manager. Either party may substitute its Litigation Managers with
`
`reasonable notice to the other party.

`
`“Outside Consultant”: a person with specialized knowledge or experience in a

`employees and subcontractors. This definition includes a professional jury or trial consultant
`
`retained in connection with this litigation and mock jurors retained by such a consultant to assist
`
`them in their work. Professional Vendors do not include consultants who fall within the definition
`
`of Outside Consultant.
`
`B.
`
`Scope
`
`15.
`
`The protections conferred by this Order cover not only Designated Material (as
`
`defined above), but also any information copied or extracted therefrom, as well as all copies,
`
`excerpts, summaries, or compilations thereof. Nothing herein changes in any way the discovery
`
`provisions of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure or the Court’s deadlines. Identification of any
`
`individual pursuant to this Protective Order does not make that individual available for deposition
`
`or any other form of discovery outside of the restrictions and procedures of the Federal Rules of
`
`Civil Procedure, the rules of the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas, and
`
`the Court’s orders applicable to this case.

`
`Access By Outside Consultants
`
`22.
`
`Notice. If a Receiving Party wishes to disclose another Party’s Designated Material
`
`to any Outside Consultant, such Receiving Party must provide advance written notice by email to
`
`counsel for the Designating Party, which notice must include: (a) the individual’s name and
`
`business title; (b) business address; (c) business or profession; (d) the individual’s CV; (e) any
`

`
`1 If the Outside Consultant believes any of this information is subject to a confidentiality obligation to a
`third-party, then the Outside Consultant should provide sufficient information for the Designating Party to determine
`whether it needs to object to the Outside Consultant. In all instances, the Outside Consultant may not omit entirely
`the existence of work that was performed pursuant to a confidentiality agreement. In addition, the Party seeking to
`disclose to the Outside Consultant shall be available to meet and confer with the Designating Party regarding any
`such engagement.

`
`Objections. The Designating Party will have seven (7) business days from receipt
`
`of the notice specified in Paragraph 22 to object in writing to such disclosure. Any such objection
`
`must set forth in detail the grounds on which it is based. After the expiration of the 7-day period,
`
`if no objection has been asserted, then Designated Material may be disclosed to the Outside
`
`Consultant pursuant to the terms of this Order. However, if the Designating Party objects within
`
`the 7-day period, the Receiving Party may not disclose Designated Material to the challenged
`
`individual absent written resolution of the dispute or Court Order. In the event the Designating
`
`Party makes a timely objection, the Parties must meet and confer within three business days by
`
`telephone or in person to try to resolve the matter by agreement. If the Parties cannot reach an
`
`agreement, the objecting Party may within five (5) business days following the meet and confer
`
`move for a protective order preventing disclosure of Designated Material to the Outside Consultant
`
`or for other appropriate relief. If the objecting Party fails to move for protective order within the
`
`prescribed period, any objection to the Outside Consultant is waived, and Designated Material may
`
`thereafter be disclosed to such individual. If the objecting Party timely moves for a protective
`
`order, Designated Material must not be disclosed to the challenged individual until and unless a
`
`final ruling allowing such disclosure is made by this Court or by the consent of the objecting Party,
`
`whichever occurs first.

`
`Unless otherwise agreed to in writing between the Producing Party and the
`
`Receiving Party, Source Code designated as “OUTSIDE COUNSEL EYES ONLY – SOURCE
`
`CODE” may only be provided on at least two stand-alone computers (that is, a computer not
`

`ports must be disabled) at secure locations, to be made available during regular business hours
`
`(9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. local time) on weekdays on five (5) business days’ notice, at Producing
`
`Party’s counsel’s offices in the United States or another law firm’s offices in the United States
`
`designated by the Producing Party (“Source Code Computers”). For Samsung, the secure locations
`
`will be in Palo Alto, California and at the Producing Party’s counsel’s offices in Los Angeles,
`
`California. The Receiving Party must identify in writing to the Producing Party the persons who
`
`will be conducting the inspection or will be present during the inspection no less than 48 hours in
`
`advance of any such inspection. Before being admitted into the secure location, an individual must
`
`provide a photo identification card issued by the United States federal government or the
`
`government of a state of the United States.
`
`25.
`
`The Producing Party will produce Source Code designated as “OUTSIDE
`
`COUNSEL EYES ONLY – SOURCE CODE” in computer searchable format and in a file
`
`structure and format that mirrors the file structure and format of the Source Code as maintained by
`
`the Producing Party in the ordinary course of business, pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph 24
`
`above, but need not produce in executable format absent further written agreement of the parties
`
`or order of the Court. The Producing Party may monitor any review of Source Code designated
`
`as “OUTSIDE COUNSEL EYES ONLY – SOURCE CODE”, but only as is reasonable to ensure
`
`compliance with this Protective Order and in a manner that will not interfere with the Receiving
`
`Party’s confidential communications or otherwise invade the Receiving Party’s attorney work
`
`product, and that will afford the Receiving Party adequate privacy to permit the development of
`
`appropriate work product. The Producing Party shall provide the Receiving Party with information
`
`explaining how to start, log on to, and operate the Source Code Computers in order to access the
`
`produced Source Code. In order to verify that its Source Code has not later been altered, the

`
`Producing Party may benchmark the materials to confirm that the materials have not been altered
`
`before and after they are provided but shall not install any keystroke or other monitoring software
`
`on the Source Code Computers. Each time a Producing Party makes Material available for review
`
`on the Source Code Computers, it shall promptly notify the Receiving Party of the same and
`
`provide a summary of the volume and nature of such newly available Material.
`
`26.
`
`Except as otherwise provided herein, no copies of any portion of the Source Code
`
`may leave the secure location in which the Source Code is inspected. Further, except as provided
`
`herein, no written or electronic record of the Source Code is permitted. Notwithstanding the
`
`foregoing, the Receiving Party may request printed copies of specific portions of Source Code
`
`designated as “OUTSIDE COUNSEL EYES ONLY – SOURCE CODE.” Within five (5) business
`
`days of the printing request, the Producing Party must either (i) provide five (5) paper copies of
`
`Source Code designated as “OUTSIDE COUNSEL EYES ONLY – SOURCE CODE” including
`
`Bates numbers and appropriate confidentiality labels when printed, along with a native Microsoft
`
`Excel file that lists the filepath and filename, as they appear on any stand-alone computer, of each
`
`requested file, correlated to the beginning Bates number of the corresponding print-out, or,
`
`alternatively, the Producing Party may brand printouts with the filepath and filename of each file,
`
`as it appears on any stand-alone computer; or (ii) object that a printing request is excessive and/or
`
`not done for a permitted purpose. The Producing Party must retain copies of any portions of Source
`
`Code printed and the Receiving Party is prohibited from removing the copies from the secure
`
`location. The entire code or an unreasonably large portion of the code must not be requested. The
`
`Receiving Party is not entitled to request copies in order to review blocks of Source Code
`
`designated as “OUTSIDE COUNSEL EYES ONLY – SOURCE CODE” elsewhere in the first
`
`instance, i.e., as an alternative to reviewing the materials electronically on the stand-alone

`
`computers provided by the Producing Party, 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. Printouts of the Source Code that exceed 60 contiguous pages or 20% or more of a
`
`specific software release will be presumed excessive unless the Receiving Party provides a
`
`compelling justification that such printed portions are necessary. For example, if the requested
`
`portion of the source code comprises a complete code module that is directly relevant to the
`
`operation of the accused instrumentality, yet that requested portion exceeds the aforementioned
`
`page limits, such request may be deemed a compelling justification. If the Producing Party objects
`
`within three (3) business days of a printing request that the printing request is excessive and/or not
`
`done for a permitted purpose, the Producing Party and Receiving Party will meet and confer within
`
`three (3) business days of the Producing Party’s objection. If the Producing Party and the
`
`Receiving Party cannot resolve the objection, the Receiving Party may, within three (3) business
`
`days after the meet and confer, seek the Court’s resolution of whether the request is narrowly
`
`tailored for a permitted purpose. The burden will be on the Receiving Party to demonstrate that
`
`such portions are no more than is reasonably necessary for a permitted purpose, and not merely
`
`for the purpose of review and analysis in another location.
`
`27.
`
`A Receiving Party of any paper copies of any Source Code designated as
`
`“OUTSIDE COUNSEL EYES ONLY – SOURCE CODE” must always keep the paper copies of
`
`the Source Code at the office of the Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of Record, and in a locked
`
`storage container at the office of the Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of Record when the paper
`
`copies of the Source Code are not in use. Outside Consultants and experts are prohibited from
`
`keeping copy sets. The Receiving Party may not reproduce the paper copies of the Source Code,
`
`absent written agreement of the Producing Party. The Receiving Party must maintain a Source
