`Case No. 6:21-CV-00916-ADA
`
`
`
` 
`
`AGREED PROTECTIVE ORDER 
`WHEREAS, Plaintiff RFCyber Corp. and Defendant Apple, Inc., hereafter referred to as “the
`
`Parties,”1 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 and/or commercially
`
`sensitive 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, commercially sensitive, or proprietary information or trade secrets of the Party
`
`or a Third Party to whom the Party reasonably believes it owes an obligation of
`
` 
`1 1 “Party” or “Parties” mean any party to this case, including all of its officers, directors,
`employees, consultants, retained experts, and Outside Counsel and their support staffs.

`

`

` 
`
`Case 6:21-cv-00916-ADA-DTG Document 45-3 Filed 05/03/22 Page 3 of 33
`
`confidentiality with respect to such document, information, or material (“Protected
`
`Material”). Protected Material shall not include: (i) advertising materials that have been
`
`actually published or publicly disseminated; and (ii) materials that show on their face they
`
`have been disseminated to the public. Nothing in this Order shall prevent or restrict a
`
`Producing Party’s2 own disclosure or use of its own Protected Material for any purpose,
`
`and nothing in this Order shall preclude any Producing Party from showing its Protected
`
`Material to an individual who prepared the Protected Material. Designations under this
`
`Order shall be made with care and shall not be made absent a good faith belief that the
`
`designated material satisfies the criteria set forth below. If it comes to a Producing Party’s
`
`attention that designated material does not qualify for protection at all, or does not qualify
`
`for the level of protection initially asserted, the Producing Party must promptly notify all
`
`other Parties that it is withdrawing or changing the designation.
`
`(a) Designating Written Discovery and Documents and Tangible Things:
`
`Protected Material includes written discovery, documents (which include
`
`“electronically stored information,” as that phrase is used in Federal Rule of
`
`Procedure 34) and tangible things. 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,” “CONFIDENTIAL ATTORNEYS’
`
`EYES ONLY,” or “CONFIDENTIAL - OUTSIDE ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY
`
`- SOURCE CODE”
`
`(“DESIGNATED MATERIAL”).3
`
` The words
`
` 
`2 “Producing Party” means any Party or non-party that discloses or produces any Discovery
`Material in this case.
`
`3 The term DESIGNATED MATERIAL is used throughout this Order to refer to the class of
`materials designated as “CONFIDENTIAL,” “CONFIDENTIAL - ATTORNEYS’ EYES
`
`

`
`
`

`

` 
`
`Case 6:21-cv-00916-ADA-DTG Document 45-3 Filed 05/03/22 Page 4 of 33
`
`“CONFIDENTIAL,” “CONFIDENTIAL - ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,” or
`
`“CONFIDENTIAL - OUTSIDE ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY - SOURCE CODE”
`
`shall be placed clearly on each page of the Protected Material for which such protection is
`
`sought (except deposition and hearing transcripts, native files, and videotapes for
`
`which such protection is sought 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.
`
`(b) Designating Transcripts: Parties or testifying persons or entities may designate
`
`depositions and other testimony with the appropriate 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 indication on the record is made, all
`
`information disclosed during a deposition shall be deemed “CONFIDENTIAL -
`
`ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” until the time within which it may be appropriately
`
`designated as provided for herein has passed. Any Party that wishes to disclose the
`
`transcript, or information contained therein, may provide written notice of its intent
`
`to treat the transcript as non-confidential, after which time, any Party that wants to
`
` 
`ONLY,” or “CONFIDENTIAL - OUTSIDE ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY - SOURCE CODE,”
`individually and collectively.

`
`Case 6:21-cv-00916-ADA-DTG Document 45-3 Filed 05/03/22 Page 5 of 33
`
`maintain any portion of the transcript as confidential must designate the
`
`confidential portions within fourteen (14) days, or else the transcript may be treated
`
`as non-confidential. Any Protected Material that is used in the taking of a
`
`deposition shall remain subject to the provisions of this 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 Order and shall be required
`
`to operate in a manner consistent with this Order. For deposition and hearing
`
`transcripts, the words “CONFIDENTIAL,” “CONFIDENTIAL - ATTORNEYS’
`
`EYES ONLY,” or “CONFIDENTIAL - OUTSIDE ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY
`
`- SOURCE CODE” 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,” “CONFIDENTIAL - ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,” or
`
`“CONFIDENTIAL - OUTSIDE ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY - SOURCE
`
`CODE.” 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 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.
`
`(c) Designating Videotaped Depositions: In the event the deposition is videotaped,
`
`the original and all copies of the videotape shall be marked by the video technician
`
`4
`
`
`

`

` 
`
` 
`
`Case 6:21-cv-00916-ADA-DTG Document 45-3 Filed 05/03/22 Page 6 of 33
`
`to indicate that the contents of the videotape are subject to this Order, including the
`
`specific confidentiality level claimed if such a designation is made prior to the
`
`videotape being provided by the video technician, substantially along the lines of:
`
`“This videotape contains [confidential] testimony used in this case and is not to be
`
`viewed, or the contents thereof displayed or revealed, except pursuant to the terms
`
`of the operative Protective Order in this matter or pursuant to written stipulation of
`
`the Parties.”
`
`(d) Designating Native Files: Where electronic files and documents are produced in
`
`native electronic format, such electronic files and documents shall be designated
`
`for protection 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” Protected Material. When such
`
`electronic files or documents are printed (for use at a deposition, in a court
`
`proceeding, or for provision in printed form to an expert or consultant pre-approved
`
`pursuant to this Order), the Party printing the electronic files or documents shall
`
`affix a legend to the printed document corresponding to the designation of the
`
`Designating Party and including the production number and designation associated
`
`with the native file. No one shall seek to use in this litigation a .tiff, .pdf or other
`
`other image format version of a document produced in native file format without
`
`first (1) 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, and (2) obtaining the consent of the Producing Party, which consent shall
`
`5
`
`
`

`

` 
`
`Case 6:21-cv-00916-ADA-DTG Document 45-3 Filed 05/03/22 Page 7 of 33
`
`not be unreasonably withheld.
`
`2.
`
`Any document produced before issuance of this Order, including pursuant to the Court’s
`
`Order Governing Proceedings - Patent Case, with the designation “Confidential” or the like
`
`shall receive the same treatment as if designated “CONFIDENTIAL” under this Order and
`
`any such documents produced with the designation “Confidential - Attorneys’ Eyes Only”
`
`or the like shall receive the same treatment as if designated “CONFIDENTIAL -
`
`ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” under this Order, unless and until such document is re-
`
`designated to have a different classification under this Order.
`
`3.
`
`With respect to documents, information, or material designated “CONFIDENTIAL,”
`
`“CONFIDENTIAL - ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,” or “CONFIDENTIAL - OUTSIDE
`
`ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY - SOURCE CODE” 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 pleadings
`
`and other court filings; (d) affidavits; and (e) stipulations. All copies, 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.
`
`4.
`
`A designation of Protected Material (i.e., “CONFIDENTIAL,” “CONFIDENTIAL -
`
`ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,” or “CONFIDENTIAL - OUTSIDE ATTORNEYS’ EYES
`
`ONLY - SOURCE CODE”) may be made at any time. Inadvertent or unintentional
`
`production of documents, information, or material that has not been designated as

`

` 
`
`Case 6:21-cv-00916-ADA-DTG Document 45-3 Filed 05/03/22 Page 8 of 33
`
`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,

`unresolved objections to such disclosure exist after proper notice has been given
`to all Parties.

`
`A Party shall designate documents, information, or material as “CONFIDENTIAL” only

`
`7.

`
`Action, including but not limited to Protected Material designated as DESIGNATED

`
`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.
`
`A Producing Party may designate Protected Material as “CONFIDENTIAL –
`
`ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” if it contains or reflects information that is extremely
`
`confidential and/or sensitive in nature and the Producing Party reasonably believes that the
`
`disclosure of such Protected Material is likely to cause economic harm or significant
`
`competitive disadvantage to the producing Party. The Parties agree that the following
`
`information, if non-public, shall be presumed to merit the “CONFIDENTIAL –
`
`ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” designation: trade secrets, pricing information, financial
`
`data, sales information, sales or marketing forecasts or plans, business plans, sales or
`
`marketing strategy, product development information, engineering documents, testing
`
`documents, employee information, and other non-public information of similar
`
`competitive and business sensitivity. To the extent such Protected Material includes
`
`computer source code6,7 including computer code, scripts, assembly, binaries, object code,
`
`Hardware Description Language (HDL) or Register Transfer Level (RTL) files that
`
`describe the hardware design of any ASIC or other chip, and Computer Aided Design
`
`(CAD) files that describe the hardware design of any component, 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 “CONFIDENTIAL – OUTSIDE
`
` 
`6 Nothing in this Order shall be construed as a representation or admission that Source Code
`Material is properly discoverable in this action or to obligate any Party to produce any Source
`Code Material. 
`7 Source Code-adjacent material, including source listings (e.g., file names and path structure), descriptions of
`source code (e.g., descriptions of declarations, functions, and parameters), and object code listings and descriptions
`of object code, shall be designated as CONFDIENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY and treated appropriately.

`
`9.
`
`For Protected Material designated “CONFIDENTIAL - ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,”
`
`access to, and disclosure of, such Protected Material shall be limited to the follows:
`
`(a) The Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel, provided that such Outside Counsel is not
`involved in competitive decision-making authority, as defined by U.S. Steel v.
`United States, 730 F.2d 1465, 1468 n.3 (Fed. Cir. 1984), on behalf of a Party or a
`competitor of a Party, and such Outside Counsel’s immediate paralegals and staff,
`and any copying or clerical litigation support services working at the direction of
`such counsel, paralegals, and staff;
`
`(b) Any outside expert or consultant retained by the Receiving Party to assist in this
`action, provided that disclosure is only to the extent necessary to perform such
`work; and provided that: (a) such expert or consultant has agreed to be bound by
`the provisions of the Protective Order by signing a copy of Exhibit A; (b) such
`expert or consultant is not a current officer, director, or employee of a Party or of a
`competitor of a Party, nor anticipated at the time of retention to become an officer,
`director, or employee of a Party or of a competitor of a Party; (c) such expert or
`consultant is not involved in competitive decision-making, as defined by U.S. Steel
`v. United States, 730 F.2d 1465, 1468 n.3 (Fed. Cir. 1984), on behalf of a Party or
`a competitor of a Party; (d) such expert or consultant accesses the materials in the
`United States only, and does not transport them to or access them from any foreign
`jurisdiction; and (e) no unresolved objections to such disclosure exist after proper
`notice has been given to all Parties;
`
`(c) Court reporters, stenographers and videographers retained to record testimony
`taken in this action;
`
`(d) The Court, its personnel, and the jury;
`
`(e) Graphics, translation, design, and/or trial consulting personnel, having first agreed
`to be bound by the provisions of the Protective Order by signing a copy of
`Exhibit A;
`
`(f) Any mediator who is assigned to hear this matter, and his or her staff, subject to
`their agreement to maintain confidentiality to the same degree as required by this
`Protective Order; and
`
`(g) Any other person with the prior written consent of the Producing Party.
`
`In addition, a Party may disclose arguments and materials derived from Discovery Material

`
`designated as “CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” to mock jurors who have
`
`signed an undertaking or agreement agreeing not to publicly disclose Protected Material and to
`
`keep any information concerning Protected Material confidential. A Party may not disclose to
`
`mock jurors any original, as-produced materials or information (including, for example,
`
`documents, deposition testimony, or interrogatory responses) produced by another Party
`
`designated as “CONFIDENTIAL - ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.”
`
`10.
`
`For Protected Material designated “CONFIDENTIAL – OUTSIDE ATTORNEYS’ EYES
`
`ONLY - SOURCE CODE,” the same restrictions set forth for Protected Material designated
`
`“CONFIDENTIAL – OUTSIDE ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” and the following additional
`
`restrictions apply:
`
`(a)
`
`(b)
`
`(c)
`
`Any Source Code Material that is produced by Plaintiff shall be made available for
`inspection in electronic format at the Austin office of its outside counsel, the Mort
`Law Firm, PLLC, or any other location mutually agreed by the Parties. Any Source
`Code Material that is produced by Defendant will be made available for inspection
`at the Dallas office of its Outside Counsel, Fish & Richardson, P.C., or any other
`location mutually agreed by the Parties.
`
`Access to a Party’s Source Code Material shall be provided only on a secured
`“stand-alone” computer(s) (that is, the computer may not be linked to any network,
`including a local area network (“LAN”), an intranet or the Internet) in a secure
`room (the “Source Code Computer” in the “Source Code Review Room”). The
`Source Code Computer may be connected to a printer via one printer port, but shall
`otherwise have all access ports disabled (except for USB ports), as necessary and
`appropriate to prevent and protect against any unauthorized copying, transmission,
`removal or other transfer of any Source Code Material outside or away from the
`computer on which the Source Code Material is provided for inspection in the
`Source Code Review Room.
`
`Prior to the first inspection of any requested Source Code Material, the Receiving
`Party shall provide fourteen (14) days’ notice of the Source Code Material that it
`wishes to inspect. The Receiving Party shall provide three (3) days’ notice prior
`to any additional inspections of that code. The Receiving Party shall make
`reasonable efforts to restrict its requests for such access to the Source Code
`Computer to normal business hours, which for purposes of this paragraph shall be
`9:00 a.m. through 5:00 p.m on business days (i.e., weekdays that are not Federal
`holidays). A list of names of persons who will inspect the Source Code Material

`
`

`Case 6:21-cv-00916-ADA-DTG Document 45-3 Filed 05/03/22 Page 13 of 33
`
`will be provided to the Producing Party at the time of the request for access.
`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
`Source Code 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.
`
`The Producing Party shall install tools that are sufficient for viewing and searching
`the Source Code Material 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
`Material be installed on the Source Code Computer, provided, however, that (a)
`the Receiving Party possesses an appropriate license to such software tools; (b) the
`Producing Party approves such software tools, which approval shall not be
`unreasonably withheld; and (c) such other software tools are reasonably necessary
`for the Receiving Party to perform its review of the Source Code Material
`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 ten (10) 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.
`
`No recordable media or recordable devices, including without limitation sound
`recorders, computers, cell phones, peripheral equipment, cameras, CDs, DVDs, or
`drives of any kind, shall be permitted into the Source Code Review Room.
`
`The Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel and/or experts shall be entitled to take
`notes relating to the Source Code Material but may not copy the Source Code
`Material into the notes and may not take such notes electronically on the Source
`Code Computer itself or any other computer.
`
`The Producing Party may visually monitor the activities of the Receiving Party’s
`representatives during any Source Code Material review, but only to ensure that
`no unauthorized electronic records of the Source Code Material are being created
`or transmitted in any way.
`
`No copies of all or any portion of the Source Code Material may leave the Source
`Code Review Room except as otherwise provided herein. Further, no other written
`or electronic record of the Source Code Material is permitted except as otherwise
`provided herein. Except to print Source Code Material pursuant to Paragraph 10(o)
`below, the Receiving Party will not copy, remove, or otherwise transfer any Source
`Code Material from the Source Code Computer including, without limitation,
`copying, removing, or transferring the Source Code Material onto any recordable

`
