`
`
`
`
`
`PROTECTIVE ORDER FOR PATENT CASES
`WHEREAS, Plaintiff Jawbone Innovations, LLC and Defendant Apple, Inc., hereafter referred to
`
`as “the Parties,” 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,
`
`
`
`1
`
`
`

`

`Case 6:21-cv-00984-ADA Document 56 Filed 05/26/22 Page 2 of 16
`
`information, or material as follows: “CONFIDENTIAL.” The word “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.”
`
`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 - Outside Attorneys’
`
`Eyes Only” shall receive the same treatment as if designated “CONFIDENTIAL -
`
`OUTSIDE 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,” “CONFIDENTIAL - OUTSIDE
`
`ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,” or “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
`
`
`1 The term DESIGNATED MATERIAL is used throughout this Protective Order to refer to the
`class of materials designated as “CONFIDENTIAL,” “CONFIDENTIAL - ATTORNEYS’ EYES
`ONLY,” “CONFIDENTIAL - OUTSIDE ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,” or “CONFIDENTIAL
`- SOURCE CODE,” individually and collectively.

`
`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,” “CONFIDENTIAL - OUTSIDE ATTORNEYS’ EYES
`
`ONLY,” or “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 15 herein:
`
`(a)
`
`Outside counsel of record in this Action for the Parties.

`
`Up to and including three (3) designated representatives of each of the Parties to the
`extent reasonably necessary for the litigation of this Action, except that any Party
`may in good faith request the other Party’s consent to designate one or more

`consent, and the requesting Party may seek leave of Court to designate such
`additional representative(s) if the requesting Party believes the other Party has
`unreasonably withheld such consent.

`before access to the Protected Material is to be given to that consultant or expert
`to object to and notify the receiving Party in writing that it objects to disclosure of
`Protected 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 receipt 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

`
`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 “CONFIDENTIAL
`
`- 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
`
`“CONFIDENTIAL - SOURCE CODE.”
`
`9.
`
`For Protected Material designated CONFIDENTIAL - 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
`
`to paragraph 5(c) be limited to in-house counsel who exercise no competitive decision-

`
`making authority on behalf of the client.
`
`10.
`
`For Protected Material designated CONFIDENTIAL - OUTSIDE ATTORNEYS’ EYES
`
`ONLY, access to, and disclosure of, such Protected Material shall be limited to individuals
`
`listed in paragraphs 5(a–b) and (e–g); provided, however, that the designating Party shall
`
`accommodate reasonable requests to provide summary information to in-house counsel
`
`designated pursuant to paragraph 5(c) who exercise no competitive decision-making
`
`authority on behalf of the client and reasonably require access to such information.
`
`11.
`
`For Protected Material designated CONFIDENTIAL - SOURCE CODE, the following
`
`additional restrictions apply:
`
`(a)
`
`(b)
`
`Access to a Party’s Source Code Material shall be provided only on “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). The stand-alone
`computer(s) shall include a full-size keyboard, mouse, and two monitors. The
`stand-alone computer(s) may 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 11(h and k) below. Additionally, except as provided in
`paragraph 11(k) below, the stand-alone computer(s) may only be located at the
`offices of the producing Party’s outside counsel or its vendors.
`
`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
`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.
`
`(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).
`
`The producing Party will produce Source Code Material in computer searchable
`format on the stand-alone computer(s) as described above.
`
`Access to Source Code Material shall be limited to outside counsel and up to three
`(3) outside consultants or experts2 (i.e., not existing employees or affiliates of a
`Party or an affiliate of a Party or competitor identified by the Producing Party with
`reasonable specificity) retained for the purpose of this litigation and approved to
`access such Protected Materials pursuant to paragraph 5(e) above. A receiving
`Party may include excerpts of Source Code Material in an exhibit to a pleading,
`expert report, or deposition transcript (collectively, “Source Code Exhibits”),
`provided that the Source Code Exhibits are appropriately marked under this Order,
`restricted to those who are entitled to have access to them as specified herein, and,
`if filed with the Court, filed under seal in accordance with the Court’s rules,
`procedures, and orders.
`
`To the extent portions of Source Code Material are quoted in a Source Code
`Exhibit, either (1) the entire Source Code Exhibit will be stamped and treated as
`CONFIDENTIAL - SOURCE CODE or (2) those pages containing quoted Source
`Code Material will be separately stamped and treated as CONFIDENTIAL -
`SOURCE CODE.
`
`Except as set forth in paragraph 11(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 that, pursuant to the Court’s rules, procedures,
`and order, must be filed or served electronically.
`
`The receiving Party shall be permitted to make a reasonable number of printouts and
`photocopies of Source Code Material, which shall presumptively be a total of ten
`(10), all of which shall be designated and clearly labeled “CONFIDENTIAL -
`SOURCE CODE,” and the receiving Party shall maintain a log of all such files that
`are printed or photocopied.
`
`Should such printouts or photocopies be permissibly transferred back to electronic
`media, such media shall be labeled “CONFIDENTIAL - SOURCE CODE” and
`shall continue to be treated as such.

`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, provided that such personnel helping in the
`analysis of Source Code Material shall be disclosed pursuant to Paragraph 5(e).

`
`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.
`The receiving Party may also temporarily keep the printouts or photocopies at: (i) the
`Court for any proceedings(s) relating to the Source Code Material, for the dates
`associated with the proceeding(s); (ii) the sites where any deposition(s) relating to
`the Source Code Material are taken, for the dates associated with the deposition(s);
`and (iii) any intermediate location reasonably necessary to transport the printouts or
`photocopies (e.g., a hotel prior to a Court proceeding or deposition).
`
`A producing Party’s Source Code Material may only be transported by the receiving
`Party at the direction of a person authorized under paragraph 11(e) above to another
`person authorized under paragraph 11(e) above, on paper or removable electronic
`media (e.g., a DVD, CD-ROM, or flash memory “stick”) 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.
`
`
`12.
`
`
`
`Any attorney representing a Party, whether in-house or outside counsel, and any person
`
`associated with a Party and permitted to receive the other Party’s Protected Material that is
`
`designated CONFIDENTIAL - ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY, CONFIDENTIAL -
`
`OUTSIDE ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY, and/or CONFIDENTIAL - 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 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 prepare, prosecute, supervise or assist in the
`
`preparation or prosecution of any patent application pertaining to the field of invention of
`
`the patent-in-suit. Nothing in this Order shall prevent a person with access to HIGHLY

`
`
`

`

`Case 6:21-cv-00984-ADA Document 56 Filed 05/26/22 Page 9 of 16
`
`SENSITIVE MATERIAL from participating in a PTO proceeding, e.g., IPR or PGR,
`
`except for that person shall not participate—directly or indirectly—in the amendment of
`
`any claim(s).
`
`13.
`
`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 privilege, the work
`
`product doctrine, or other privilege, doctrine, or immunity. If documents, information, or
`
`other material subject to a claim of attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine, or other
`
`privilege, doctrine, or immunity is inadvertently or unintentionally produced, such
`
`production shall in no way prejudice or otherwise constitute a waiver of, or estoppel as to,
`
`any such privilege, doctrine, or immunity. Any 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.
`
`14.
`
`There shall be no disclosure of any DESIGNATED MATERIAL by any person authorized
`
`to have access thereto to any person who is not authorized for such access under this Order.
`
`The Parties are hereby ORDERED to safeguard all such documents, information, and
`
`material to protect against disclosure to any unauthorized persons or entities.

`
`15.
`
`Nothing contained herein shall be construed to prejudice any Party’s right to use any
`
`DESIGNATED MATERIAL in taking testimony at any deposition or hearing provided that
`
`the DESIGNATED MATERIAL is only disclosed to a person(s) who is: (i) eligible to have
`
`access to the DESIGNATED MATERIAL by virtue of his or her employment with the
`
`designating Party; (ii) identified in the DESIGNATED MATERIAL as an author, addressee,
`
`or copy recipient of such information; (iii) although not identified as an author, addressee,
`
`or copy recipient of such DESIGNATED MATERIAL, has, in the ordinary course of
`
`business, seen such DESIGNATED MATERIAL; (iv) a current or former officer, director
`
`or employee of the producing Party or a current or former officer, director, or employee
`
`of a company affiliated with the producing Party; (v) counsel for a Party, including outside
`
`counsel and in-house counsel (subject to paragraph 9 of this Order); (vi) an independent
`
`contractor, consultant, and/or expert retained for the purpose of this litigation; (vii) court
`
`reporters and videographers; (viii) the Court; or (ix) other persons entitled hereunder to
`
`access to DESIGNATED MATERIAL.
`
` DESIGNATED MATERIAL shall not be
`
`disclosed to any other persons unless prior authorization is obtained from counsel
`
`representing the producing Party or from the Court.
`
`16.
`
`Parties may, at the deposition or hearing or within thirty (30) days after receipt of a
`
`deposition or hearing transcript, designate the deposition or hearing transcript or any portion
`
`thereof as “CONFIDENTIAL,” “CONFIDENTIAL - ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,”
`
`“CONFIDENTIAL - OUTSIDE ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,” or “CONFIDENTIAL -
`
`SOURCE CODE” pursuant to this Order. Access to the deposition or hearing transcript so
`
`designated shall be limited in accordance with the terms of this Order. Until expiration of
`
`the 30-day period, the entire deposition or hearing transcript shall be treated as
`

`
`CONFIDENTIAL - OUTSIDE ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.
`
`17.
`
`Any DESIGNATED MATERIAL that is filed with the Court shall be filed under seal and
`
`shall remain under seal until further order of the Court. The filing Party shall be responsible
`
`for informing the Clerk of the Court that the filing should be sealed and for placing the
`
`legend “FILED UNDER SEAL PURSUANT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER” above the
`
`caption and conspicuously on each page of the filing. Exhibits to a filing shall conform
`
`to the labeling requirements set forth in this Order. If a pretrial pleading filed with the
`
`Court, or an exhibit thereto, discloses or relies on DESIGNATED MATERIAL, such
`
`confidential portions shall be redacted to the extent necessary and the pleading or exhibit
`
`filed publicly with the Court.
`
`18.
`
`The Order applies to pretrial discovery. Nothing in this Order shall be deemed to prevent
`
`the Parties from introducing any DESIGNATED MATERIAL into evidence at the trial of
`
`this Action, or from using any information contained in DESIGNATED MATERIAL at
`
`the trial of this Action, subject to any pretrial order issued by this Court.
`
`19.
`
`A Party may request in writing to the other Party that the designation given to any
`
`DESIGNATED MATERIAL be modified or withdrawn. If the designating Party does
`
`not agree to re-designation within ten (10) days of receipt of the written request, the
`
`requesting Party may apply to the Court for relief. Upon any such application to the Court,
`
`the burden shall be on the designating Party to show why its classification is proper. Such
`
`application shall be treated procedurally as a motion to compel pursuant to Federal Rule
`
`of Civil Procedure 37, subject to the Rule’s provisions relating to sanctions. In making
`
`such application, the requirements of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and the Local
`
`Rules of the Court shall be met. Pending the Court’s determination of the application, the
`
`
`
`11
`
`
`

`

`Case 6:21-cv-00984-ADA Document 56 Filed 05/26/22 Page 12 of 16
`
`designation of the designating Party shall be maintained.
`
`20.
`
`Each outside consultant or expert to whom DESIGNATED MATERIAL is disclosed in
`
`accordance with the terms of this Order shall be advised by counsel of the terms of this
`
`Order, shall be informed that they are subject to the terms and conditions of this Order, and
`
`shall sign an acknowledgment that they have received a copy of, have read, and have
`
`agreed to be bound by this Order. A copy of the acknowledgment form is attached as
`
`Appendix A.
`
`21.
`
`To the extent that any discovery is taken of persons who are not Parties to this Action
`
`(“Third Parties”) and in the event that such Third Parties contend the discovery sought
`
`involves trade secrets, confidential business information, or other proprietary information,
`
`then such Third Parties may agree to be bound by this Order.
`
`22.
`
`To the extent that discovery or testimony is taken of Third Parties, the Third Parties may
`
`designate as “CONFIDENTIAL,” “CONFIDENTIAL - ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,”
`
`or “CONFIDENTIAL
`
`- OUTSIDE ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,” and/or
`
`“CONFIDENTIAL - SOURCE CODE” any documents, information, or other material, in
`
`whole or in part, produced by such Third Parties. The Third Parties shall have ten (10) days
`
`after production of such documents, information, or other materials to make such a
`
`designation. Until that time period lapses or until such a designation has been made,
`
`whichever occurs sooner, all documents, information, or other material so produced or given
`
`shall be treated as “CONFIDENTIAL - OUTSIDE ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” in
`
`accordance with this Order.
`
`23. Within thirty (30) days of final termination of this Action, including any appeals, all
`
`DESIGNATED MATERIAL, including all copies, duplicates, abstracts, indexes, summaries,
`
`
`

`
`
`

`

`
`descriptions, and excerpts or extracts thereof (excluding excerpts or extracts incorporated
`
`into any privileged memoranda of the Parties), shall at the producing Party’s election either
`
`be returned to the producing Party or be destroyed. The receiving Party shall verify the
`
`return or destruction by affidavit furnished to the producing Party, upon the producing
`
`Party’s request.
`
`24.
`
`The failure to designate documents, information, or material in accordance with this Order
`
`and the failure to object to a designation at a given time shall not preclude the filing of a
`
`motion at a later date seeking to impose such designation or challenging the propriety
`
`thereof. The entry of this Order and/or the production of documents, information, or
`
`material hereunder shall in no way constitute a waiver of any objection to the furnishing
`
`thereof, all such objections being hereby preserved.
`
`25.
`
