1. INTRODUCTION

13

1.1 Purposes and Limitations. Discovery in this action is likely to

14

involve production of confidential, proprietary, or private information for

15

which special protection from public disclosure and from use for any

16

17 purpose other than prosecuting this litigation may be warranted.

18 Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to and petition the court to enter

19 the following Stipulated Protective Order. The parties acknowledge that

20 this Order does not confer blanket protections on all disclosures or

21 responses to discovery and that the protection it affords from public

22 disclosure and use extends only to the limited information or items that

23 are entitled to confidential treatment under the applicable legal

24 principles.

25

26

27

1 This Stipulated Protective Order is substantially based on the model

protective order provided under Magistrate Judge Stephanie S.

1 1.2 Good Cause Statement.

2 This action is likely to involve trade secrets, and other valuable

3 development, commercial, financial, technical and/or proprietary

4 information for which special protection from public disclosure and from

5 use for any purpose other than prosecution of this action is warranted. The

6 Plaintiff contends that disclosure of trade secrets, technical and/or

7 proprietary information, including design specifications, and counterfeit

8

identification criteria, will result in significant and irreparable harm such

9

as a loss of ability to enforce intellectual property rights and irreparable

10

harm to good and brand reputation as a result thereof. Such confidential

11

and proprietary materials and information consist of, among other things,

12

business or financial information, information regarding product

13

development and manufacturing, counterfeit identification guides, or

14

other commercial information (including information implicating privacy

15

rights of third parties), information otherwise generally unavailable to the

16

public, or which may be privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure

17

under state or federal statutes, court rules, case decisions, or common law.

18

Accordingly, to expedite the flow of information, to facilitate the prompt

19

resolution of disputes over confidentiality of discovery materials, to

20

adequately protect information the parties are entitled to keep

21

22 confidential, to ensure that the parties are permitted reasonable necessary

23 uses of such material in preparation for and in the conduct of trial, to

24 address their handling at the end of the litigation, and serve the ends of

25 justice, a protective order for such information is justified in this matter.

26 It is the intent of the parties that information will not be designated as

27 confidential for tactical reasons and that nothing be so designated without

1 manner, and there is good cause why it should not be part of the public

2 record of this case.

3 1.3 Acknowledgment of Procedure for Filing Under Seal. The

4 parties further acknowledge, as set forth in Section 12.3, below, that this

5 Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle them to file confidential

6 information under seal; Local Rule 79-5 sets forth the procedures that

7 must be followed and the standards that will be applied when a party

8

seeks permission from the court to file material under seal.

9

There is a strong presumption that the public has a right of access

10

to judicial proceedings and records in civil cases. In connection with non-

11

dispositive motions, good cause must be shown to support a filing under

12

seal. See Kamakana v. City and Cnty. of Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172, 1176

13

(9th Cir. 2006), Phillips ex rel. Ests. of Byrd v. Gen. Motors Corp., 307

14

F.3d 1206, 1210–11 (9th Cir. 2002), Makar-Welbon v. Sony Elecs., Inc.,

15

187 F.R.D. 576, 577 (E.D. Wis. 1999) (even stipulated protective orders

16

require good cause showing), and a specific showing of good cause or

17

compelling reasons with proper evidentiary support and legal

18

justification, must be made with respect to Protected Material that a

19

party seeks to file under seal. The parties’ mere designation of Disclosure

20

or Discovery Material as CONFIDENTIAL does not—without the

21

22 submission of competent evidence by declaration, establishing that the

23 material sought to be filed under seal qualifies as confidential, privileged,

24 or otherwise protectable—constitute good cause.

25 Further, if a party requests sealing related to a dispositive motion

26 or trial, then compelling reasons, not only good cause, for the sealing must

27 be shown, and the relief sought shall be narrowly tailored to serve the

1 F.3d 665, 677–79 (9th Cir. 2010). For each item or type of information,

2 document, or thing sought to be filed or introduced under seal in

3 connection with a dispositive motion or trial, the party seeking protection

4 must articulate compelling reasons, supported by specific facts and legal

5 justification, for the requested sealing order. Again, competent evidence

6 supporting the application to file documents under seal must be provided

7 by declaration.

8

Any document that is not confidential, privileged, or otherwise

9

protectable in its entirety will not be filed under seal if the confidential

10

portions can be redacted. If documents can be redacted, then a redacted

11

version for public viewing, omitting only the confidential, privileged, or

12

otherwise protectable portions of the document, shall be filed. Any

13

application that seeks to file documents under seal in their entirety

14

should include an explanation of why redaction is not feasible.

15

15

3. SCOPE

16

The protections conferred by this Stipulation and Order cover not

17

18 only Protected Material (as defined above), but also (1) any information

19 copied or extracted from Protected Material; (2) all copies, excerpts,

20 summaries, or compilations of Protected Material; and (3) any testimony,

21 conversations, or presentations by Parties or their Counsel that might

22 reveal Protected Material.

23 Any use of Protected Material at trial shall be governed by the

24 orders of the trial judge. This Stipulated Protective Order does not

25 govern the use of Protected Material at trial.

26

27

1 4. TRIAL AND DURATION

2 The terms of this Stipulated Protective Order apply through Final

3 Disposition of the Action.

4

Once a case proceeds to trial, information that was designated as

5

CONFIDENTIAL or maintained pursuant to this Stipulated Protective

6

Order and used or introduced as an exhibit at trial becomes public and

7

will be presumptively available to all members of the public, including

8

the press, unless compelling reasons supported by specific factual

9

findings to proceed otherwise are made to the trial judge in advance of

10

the trial. See Kamakana, 447 F.3d at 1180–81 (distinguishing “good

11

cause” showing for sealing documents produced in discovery from

12

“compelling reasons” standard when merits-related documents are part

13

14 of court record). Accordingly, for such materials, the terms of this

15 Stipulated Protective Order do not extend beyond the commencement of

16 the trial.

17 Even after Final Disposition of this litigation, the confidentiality

18 obligations imposed by this Stipulated Protective Order shall remain in

19 effect until a Designating Party agrees otherwise in writing or a court

20 order otherwise directs.

21

22 5. DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL

23

5.1 Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for

24

Protection. Each Party or Non-Party that designates information or items

25

for protection under this Order must take care to limit any such

26

designation to specific material that qualifies under the appropriate

27

1 those parts of material, documents, items, or oral or written

2 communications that qualify so that other portions of the material,

3 documents, items, or communications for which protection is not

4 warranted are not swept unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order.

5 Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited.

6 Designations that are shown to be clearly unjustified or that have been

7 made for an improper purpose (e.g., to unnecessarily encumber the case

8

development process or to impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on

9

other parties) may expose the Designating Party to sanctions.

10

If it comes to a Designating Party’s attention that information or

11

items that it designated for protection do not qualify for protection, that

12

Designating Party must promptly notify all other Parties that it is

13

withdrawing the inapplicable designation.

14

5.2 Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise

15

provided in this Stipulated Protective Order (see, e.g., second paragraph of

16

section 5.2(a) below), or as otherwise stipulated or ordered, Disclosure or

17

18 Discovery Material that qualifies for protection under this Stipulated

19 Protective Order must be clearly so designated before the material is

20 disclosed or produced.

21 Designation in conformity with this Stipulated Protective Order

22 requires:

23 (a) for information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic

24 documents, but excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or

25 trial proceedings), that the Producing Party affix at a minimum, the

26

legend “CONFIDENTIAL” to each page that contains protected material.

27

If only a portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies for

1 protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected

2 portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins).

3 A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents available for

4 inspection need not designate them for protection until after the

5 inspecting Party has indicated which documents it would like copied and

6 produced. During the inspection and before the designation, all of the

7 material made available for inspection shall be deemed

8

CONFIDENTIAL. After the inspecting Party has identified the

9

documents it wants copied and produced, the Producing Party must

10

determine which documents, or portions thereof, qualify for protection

11

under this Stipulated Protective Order. Then, before producing the

12

specified documents, the Producing Party must affix the

13

“CONFIDENTIAL” legend to each page that contains Protected Material.

14

If only a portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies for

15

protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected

16

portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins).

17

(b) for testimony given in depositions that the Designating Party

18

identify the Disclosure or Discovery Material on the record, before the

19

close of the deposition all protected testimony.

20

(c) for information produced in some form other than

21

22 documentary and for any other tangible items, that the Producing Party

23 affix in a prominent place on the exterior of the container or containers in

24 which the information is stored the “CONFIDENTIAL” legend. If only a

25 portion or portions of the information warrants protection, the Producing

26 Party, to the extent practicable, shall identify the protected portion(s).

27

5.3 Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an

1 inadvertent failure to designate qualified information or items does not,

2 standing alone, waive the Designating Party’s right to secure protection

3 under this Order for such material. Upon timely correction of a

4 designation, the Receiving Party must make reasonable efforts to assure

5 that the material is treated in accordance with the provisions of this

6 Stipulated Protective Order.

7

8

6. CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS

9

6.1 Timing of Challenges. Any Party or Non-Party may challenge

10

a designation of confidentiality at any time that is consistent with the

11

court’s Scheduling Order.

12

6.2 Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the

13

dispute resolution process under Local Rule 37.1 et seq. and with Section

14

2 of Judge Christensen’s Civil Procedures titled “Brief Pre-Discovery

15

Motion Conference.”2

16

6.3 The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding

17

18 shall be on the Designating Party. Frivolous challenges, and those made

19 for an improper purpose (e.g., to harass or impose unnecessary expenses

20 and burdens on other parties) may expose the Challenging Party to

21 sanctions. Unless the Designating Party has waived or withdrawn the

22 confidentiality designation, all parties shall continue to afford the

23 material in question the level of protection to which it is entitled under

24 the Producing Party’s designation until the court rules on the challenge.

25

26

27

2 Judge Christensen’s Procedures are available at

1 7. ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL

2 7.1 Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected

3 Material that is disclosed or produced by another Party or by a Non-Party

4

in connection with this Action only for prosecuting, defending, or

5

attempting to settle this Action. Such Protected Material may be

6

disclosed only to the categories of persons and under the conditions

7

described in this Order. When the Action reaches a Final Disposition, a

8

Receiving Party must comply with the provisions of section 13 below.

9

Protected Material must be stored and maintained by a Receiving

10

Party at a location and in a secure manner that ensures that access is

11

limited to the persons authorized under this Stipulated Protective Order.

12

7.2 Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items.

13

Unless otherwise ordered by the court or permitted in writing by the

14

Designating Party, a Receiving Party may disclose any information or

15

item designated “CONFIDENTIAL” only:

16

(a) to the Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of Record in this

17

18 Action, as well as employees of said Outside Counsel of Record to whom

19 it is reasonably necessary to disclose the information for this Action;

20 (b) to the officers, directors, and employees (including House

21 Counsel) of the Receiving Party to whom disclosure is reasonably

22 necessary for this Action;

23 (c) to Experts (as defined in this Order) of the Receiving Party to

24 whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have

25 signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A);

26 (d) to the court and its personnel;

27

(e) to court reporters and their staff;

1 (f) to professional jury or trial consultants, mock jurors, and

2 Professional Vendors to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this

3 Action and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be

4 Bound” (Exhibit A);

5 (g) to the author or recipient of a document containing the

6 information or a custodian or other person who otherwise possessed or

7 knew the information;

8

(h) during their depositions, to witnesses, and attorneys for

9

witnesses, in the Action to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary,

10

provided: (1) the deposing party requests that the witness sign the

11

“Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A); and (2) the

12

witness will not be permitted to keep any confidential information unless

13

they sign the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A),

14

unless otherwise agreed by the Designating Party or ordered by the court.

15

Pages of transcribed deposition testimony or exhibits to depositions that

16

reveal Protected Material may be separately bound by the court reporter

17

and may not be disclosed to anyone except as permitted under this

18

Stipulated Protective Order; and

19

(i) to any mediator or settlement officer, and their supporting

20

personnel, mutually agreed upon by any of the parties engaged in

21

22 settlement discussions.

23

8. PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED

24

PRODUCED IN OTHER LITIGATION

25

26 If a Party is served with a subpoena or a court order issued in other

27 litigation that compels disclosure of any information or items designated

1 (a) promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such

2 notification shall include a copy of the subpoena or court order;

3 (b) promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena

4 or order to issue in the other litigation that some or all of the material

5 covered by the subpoena or order is subject to this Protective Order. Such

6 notification shall include a copy of this Stipulated Protective Order; and

7 (c) cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to

8

be pursued by the Designating Party whose Protected Material may be

9

affected.

10

If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the

11

Party served with the subpoena or court order shall not produce any

12

information designated in this action as “CONFIDENTIAL” before a

13

determination by the court from which the subpoena or order issued,

14

unless the Party has obtained the Designating Party’s permission. The

15

Designating Party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking

16

protection in that court of its confidential material and nothing in these

17

provisions should be construed as authorizing or encouraging a Receiving

18

Party in this Action to disobey a lawful directive from another court.

19

20

21 9. A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE

22 PRODUCED IN THIS LITIGATION

23 9.1 Application. The terms of this Stipulated Protective Order are

24 applicable to information produced by a Non-Party in this Action and

25 designated as “CONFIDENTIAL.” Such information produced by Non-

26 Parties in connection with this litigation is protected by the remedies and

27 relief provided by this Order. Nothing in these provisions should be

1 9.2 Notification. In the event that a Party is required, by a valid

2 discovery request, to produce a Non-Party’s confidential information in its

3 possession, and the Party is subject to an agreement with the Non-Party

4 not to produce the Non-Party’s confidential information, then the Party

5 shall:

6 (a) promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non-

7 Party that some or all of the information requested is subject to a

8

confidentiality agreement with a Non-Party;

9

(b) make the information requested available for inspection by

10

the Non-Party, if requested.

11

9.3 Conditions of Production. If the Non-Party fails to seek a

12

protective order from this court within 14 days of receiving the notice and

13

accompanying information, the Receiving Party may produce the Non-

14

Party’s confidential information responsive to the discovery request. If the

15

Non-Party timely seeks a protective order, the Receiving Party shall not

16

produce any information in its possession or control that is subject to the

17

confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party before a determination by

18

the court. Absent a court order to the contrary, the Non-Party shall bear

19

the burden and expense of seeking protection in this court of its Protected

20

Material.

21

22

23 10. UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED

24 MATERIAL

25 If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it

26

has disclosed Protected Material to any person or in any circumstance not

27

authorized under this Stipulated Protective Order, the Receiving Party

1 must immediately (a) notify in writing the Designating Party of the

2 unauthorized disclosures, (b) use its best efforts to retrieve all

3 unauthorized copies of the Protected Material, (c) inform the person or

4 persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the terms of

5 this Order, and (d) request such person or persons to execute the

6 “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A).

7

8

11. INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR

9

OTHERWISE PROTECTED MATERIAL

10

When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that

11

certain inadvertently produced material is subject to a claim of privilege

12

or other protection, the obligations of the Receiving Parties are those set

13

14 forth in Rule 26(b)(5)(B) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. This

15 provision is not intended to modify whatever procedure may be

16 established in an e-discovery order that provides for production without

17 prior privilege review. Pursuant to Rules 502(d) and (e) of the Federal

18 Rules of Evidence, insofar as the parties reach an agreement on the effect

19 of disclosure of a communication or information covered by the attorney-

20 client privilege or work product protection, the parties may incorporate

21 their agreement in the stipulated protective order submitted to the court.

22

23

12. MISCELLANEOUS

24

12.1 Right to Further Relief. Nothing in this Stipulated Protective

25

Order abridges the right of any person to seek its modification by the

26

court in the future.

27

1 of this Stipulated Protective Order no Party waives any right it otherwise

2 would have to object to disclosing or producing any information or item

3 on any ground not addressed in this Stipulated Protective Order.

4 Similarly, no Party waives any right to object on any ground to use in

5 evidence of any of the material covered by this Stipulated Protective

6 Order.

7 12.3 Filing Protected Material. A Party that seeks to file under

8

seal any Protected Material must comply with Local Rule 79-5. Protected

9

Material may only be filed under seal pursuant to a court order

10

authorizing the sealing of the specific Protected Material at issue. If a

11

Party's request to file Protected Material under seal is denied by the

12

court, then the Receiving Party may file the information in the public

13

record unless otherwise instructed by the court.

14

15

13. FINAL DISPOSITION

16

After the Final Disposition of this Action, as defined in paragraph

17

18 4, within 60 days of a written request by the Designating Party, each

19 Receiving Party must return all Protected Material to the Producing

20 Party or destroy such material. As used in this subdivision, “all Protected

21 Material” includes all copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries, and

22 any other format reproducing or capturing any of the Protected Material.

23 Whether the Protected Material is returned or destroyed, the Receiving

24 Party must submit a written certification to the Producing Party (and, if

25 not the same person or entity, to the Designating Party) by the 60 day

26 deadline that (1) identifies (by category, where appropriate) all the

27

Protected Material that was returned or destroyed and (2) affirms that

1 the Receiving Party has not retained any copies, abstracts, compilations,

2 summaries or any other format reproducing or capturing any of the

3 Protected Material. Notwithstanding this provision, Counsel is entitled

4 to retain an archival copy of all pleadings, motion papers, trial,

5 deposition, and hearing transcripts, legal memoranda, correspondence,

6 deposition and trial exhibits, expert reports, attorney work product, and

7 consultant and expert work product, even if such materials contain

8

Protected Material. Any such archival copies that contain or constitute

9

Protected Material remain subject to this Protective Order as set forth in

10

Section 4.

I, ________________________________ [print or type full name],

of ________________________________________________________ [print

in its entirety and understand the Stipulated Protective Order that was

8

California on May ___, 2025 in the case of GS Holistic, LLC v. One Stop

9

Vape, Case No.: 2:24-cv-08060 CV (SSCx). I agree to comply with and

10

to be bound by all the terms of this Stipulated Protective Order and I

11

understand and acknowledge that failure to so comply could expose me

12

to sanctions and punishment in the nature of contempt. I solemnly
