`MEMORANDUM OPINION ON DISPUTED PROTECTIVE ORDER
`This opinion memorializes the Court’s decision on Jawbone Innovations, LLC’s
`
`Defendant.
`
`
`
`(“Jawbone”) Opposed Motion for Entry of Disputed Protective Order. Dkt. No. 40. Apple Inc.
`
`(“Apple”) filed its Opposition, and Jawbone filed its Reply. Dkt. Nos. 49, 50. The Court instructed
`
`the parties to meet and confer to narrow their disputes after informing the parties of the Court’s
`
`preference for the language in its default protective order. The parties then submitted revised
`
`proposed protective orders to the Court for consideration. After careful consideration of the
`
`relevant facts, the parties’ briefs (Dkt. Nos. 40, 49, 50), and the parties’ revised proposals, the
`
`Court enters Jawbone’s revised proposed Protective Order to govern this case.
`
`The Court’s default protective order reflects carefully considered compromises between
`
`the need for efficient and workable discovery and the parties’ security concerns, and the default
`
`protective order effectively balances those concerns. To reduce the frequency of disputes over
`
`language in protective orders, the Court tracks its default protective order unless either party shows
`
`good cause for deviation.
`
`Here, Jawbone’s revised proposed protective order tracks the default protective order and
`
`
`
`1
`
`
`
`
`Case 6:21-cv-00984-ADA Document 57 Filed 05/26/22 Page 2 of 2
`
`makes minor revisions to two paragraphs of the Court’s default protective order. Apple’s revised
`
`proposal, which is 30 pages, more than doubles the length of the default protective order, which is
`
`13 pages. The Court finds that Jawbone’s revisions track the Court’s default protective order much
`
`more closely. Apple’s Opposition has not convinced the Court of a need to add an additional 17
`
`pages of requirements. This is not a close call between two proposals that include only minor,
`
`competing revisions to the default protective order. Because Apple’s revised proposed protective
`
`order deviates so much from the Court’s default protective order, the Court has entered Jawbone’s
`
`revised proposed protective order in its entirety.
`
`Signed this 26th day of May, 2022.
