1 1. PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS

2 Discovery in this action is likely to involve production of confidential,

3 proprietary, or private information for which special protection from public disclosure

4 and from use for any purpose other than prosecuting this litigation may be warranted.

5 Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to and petition the Court to enter the

6 following protective order (“Stipulated Protective Order”). The parties acknowledge

7 that this Stipulated Protective Order does not confer blanket protections on all

8 disclosures or responses to discovery and that the protection it affords from public

9 disclosure and use extends only to the limited information or items that are entitled to

10 confidential treatment under the applicable legal principles. The parties further

11 acknowledge that this Stipulated Protective Order does not authorize any party to file

12 confidential information under seal; Civil Local Rule 79-5 sets forth the procedures

13 that must be followed when a party seeks permission from the court to file material

14 under seal.

15 A. GOOD CAUSE STATEMENT

16 This action is likely to involve trade secrets, customer and pricing lists,

17 financial revenue and profit information, marketing strategies, and other valuable

18 research, development, commercial, financial, technical and/or proprietary

19 information for which special protection from public disclosure and from use for any

20 purpose other than prosecution of this action may be warranted. Such confidential and

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

22 confidential business or financial information, information regarding confidential

23 business practices, or other confidential research, development, or commercial

24 information (including information implicating privacy rights of third parties),

25 information otherwise generally unavailable to the public, or which may be privileged

26 or otherwise protected from disclosure under state or federal statutes, court rules, case

27 decisions, or common law. Accordingly, to expedite the flow of information, to

1 to adequately protect information the Parties are entitled to keep confidential, to

2 ensure that the Parties are permitted reasonable necessary uses of such material in

3 preparation for and in the conduct of trial, to address their handling at the end of the

4 litigation, and serve the ends of justice, a protective order for such information is

5 justified in this matter. It is the intent of the Parties that information will not be

6 designated as confidential for tactical reasons and that nothing be so designated

7 without a good faith belief that it has been maintained in a confidential, non-public

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

9 case.

10 Additionally, here, there is a need for a two-tiered, attorneys’ eyes only protective

11 order that designates certain material as “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL –

12 ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY”. See Elements Spirits, Inc. v. Iconic Brands, Inc., Civ.

13 No. CV 15-02692 DDP(AGRx), 2016 WL 2642206, at *1–*2 (C.D. Cal. May 9,

14 2016) (holding that protective order with attorneys’ eyes only designation was

15 warranted to protect party’s confidential information) (citing Nutratech, Inc. v.

16 Syntech Int’l, Inc., 242 F.R.D. 552, 555 (C.D. Cal. 2008); Brown Bag Software v.

17 Symantec Corp., 960 F.2d 1465, 1470 (9th Cir. 1992)). .

13 from Protected Material or information that is otherwise based in whole or in part on

19 Material at trial.

20 4. DURATION

21 Even after final disposition of this litigation, the confidentiality obligations

22 imposed by this Stipulated Protective Order shall remain in effect until a Designating

26 and exhaustion of all appeals, rehearings, remands, trials, or reviews of this Action,

27 including the time limits for filing any motions or applications for extension of time

1 5. DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL

2 5.1 Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection.

3 Each Party or Non-Party that designates information or items for protection under this

4 Stipulated Protective Order must take care to limit any such designation to specific

5 material that qualifies under the appropriate standards. The Designating Party must

6 designate for protection only those parts of material, documents, items or oral or

7 written communications that qualify so that other portions of the material, documents,

8 items or communications for which protection is not warranted are not swept

9 unjustifiably within the ambit of this Stipulated Protective Order.

10 Mass, indiscriminate or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations

11 that are shown to be clearly unjustified or that have been made for an improper

12 purpose (e.g., to unnecessarily encumber the case development process or to impose

13 unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the Designating Party

14 to sanctions.

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

16 designated for protection do not qualify for protection, that Designating Party must

17 promptly notify all other Parties that it is withdrawing the inapplicable designation.

18 5.2 Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in

19 this Order (see, e.g., second paragraph of section 5.2(a) below), or as otherwise

20 stipulated or ordered, Disclosure or Discovery Material that qualifies for protection

21 under this Stipulated Protective Order must be clearly so designated before the

22 material is disclosed or produced.

23 Designation in conformity with this Order requires:

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

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

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

27 legend “CONFIDENTIAL” or “CONFIDENTIAL - AEO” (hereinafter

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

2 for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the

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

4 margins).

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

6 inspection need not designate them for protection until after the

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

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

9 material made available for inspection shall be deemed

10 “CONFIDENTIAL.” After the inspecting Party has identified the

11 documents it wants copied and produced, the Producing Party must

12 determine which documents, or portions thereof, qualify for protection

13 under this Order. Then, before producing the specified documents, the

14 Producing Party must affix the Confidential Legend to each page that

15 contains Protected Material. If only a portion of the material on a page

16 qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify

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

18 margins).

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

20 designation of Protected Material before the close of the deposition.

21 (c) for information produced in some form other than documentary and for

22 any other tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent

23 place on the exterior of the container or containers in which the

24 information is stored the Confidential Legend. If only a portion or

25 portions of the information warrants protection, the Producing Party, to

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

27 5.3 Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent

1 Designating Party’s right to secure protection under this Stipulated Protective Order

2 for such material. Upon timely correction of a designation, the Receiving Party must

3 make reasonable efforts to assure that the material is treated in accordance with the

4 provisions of this Stipulated Protective Order.

5 6. CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS

6 6.1 Timing of Challenges. Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a

7 designation of Protected Material at any time that is consistent with the Court’s

8 Scheduling Order.

9 6.2 Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute

10 resolution process under Local Rule 37.1 et seq.

11 6.3 The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on

12 the Designating Party. Frivolous challenges, and those made for an improper purpose

13 (e.g., to harass or impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may

14 expose the Challenging Party to sanctions. Unless the Designating Party has waived

15 or withdrawn the confidentiality designation, all parties shall continue to afford the

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

17 Party’s designation until the Court rules on the challenge.

18 7. ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL

19 7.1 Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is

20 disclosed or produced by another Party or by a Non-Party in connection with this

21 Action only for prosecuting, defending or attempting to settle this Action. Such

22 Protected Material may be disclosed only to the categories of persons and under the

23 conditions described in this Stipulated Protective Order. When the Action has been

24 terminated, a Receiving Party must comply with the provisions of section 13 below

25 (FINAL DISPOSITION).

26 Protected Material must be stored and maintained by a Receiving Party at a

27 location and in a secure manner that ensures that access is limited to the persons

1 7.2 Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items. Unless

2 otherwise ordered by the Court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party, a

3 Receiving Party may disclose any information or item designated

4 “CONFIDENTIAL” only to:

5 (a) the Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of Record in this Action, as well

6 as employees of said Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably

7 necessary to disclose the information for this Action;

8 (b) the officers, directors, and employees (including In-House Counsel) of

9 the Receiving Party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this

10 Action;

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

12 disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have signed

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

14 (d) the Court and its personnel;

15 (e) Court reporters and their staff;

16 (f) professional jury or trial consultants, mock jurors, and Professional

17 Vendors to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and

18 who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound”

19 (Exhibit A hereto);

20 (g) the author or recipient of a document containing the “CONFIDENTIAL”

21 Information or Items ;

22 (h) during their depositions, witnesses, and attorneys for witnesses, in the

23 Action to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary provided: (1) the

24 deposing party requests that the witness sign the “Acknowledgment and

25 Agreement to Be Bound” form attached as Exhibit A hereto; and (2) they

26 will not be permitted to keep any “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or

27 Items unless they sign the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be

1 the Designating Party or ordered by the Court. Pages of transcribed

2 deposition testimony or exhibits to depositions that reveal Protected

3 Material may be separately bound by the court reporter and may not be

4 disclosed to anyone except as permitted under this Stipulated Protective

5 Order; and

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

7 mutually agreed upon by any of the parties engaged in settlement

8 discussions or appointed by the Court; and

9 (j) any insurance carrier and/or its representatives to whom disclosure is

10 reasonably necessary, provided that they sign the “Acknowledgment and

11 Agreement to Be Bound” form attached as Exhibit A hereto.

12 7.3 Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL - AEO” Information or Items. Unless

13 otherwise ordered by the court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party, a

14 Receiving Party may disclose “CONFIDENTIAL - AEO” Information or Items only

15 to those individuals identified in 7.2(a), (c)-(g) and (i)-(j), except that a Receiving

16 Party may in good faith request that the Designating Party consent in writing to the

17 disclosure of particular material designated “CONFIDENTIAL - AEO” Information

18 or Items to one or more representatives of the Receiving Party to whom disclosure is

19 reasonably necessary for this Action. The Receiving Party may seek leave of court in

20 compliance with Local Rule 37 to designate such representatives if the Receiving

21 Party believes that the Designating Party has unreasonably withheld such consent.

22 Before receiving any “CONFIDENTIAL - AEO” Information or Items, each

23 designated representative shall sign the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be

24 Bound” (Exhibit A).

8. PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED IN

25

OTHER LITIGATION

26

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

27

that compels disclosure of any Protected Materials designated in this Action, that

1 Party must:

2 (a) promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification shall

3 include a copy of the subpoena or court order unless prohibited by law;

4 (b) promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or order to

5 issue in the other litigation that some or all of the material covered by

6 the subpoena or order is subject to this Stipulated Protective Order. Such

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

8 (c) cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be pursued

9 by the Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected.

10 If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served with

11 the subpoena or court order shall not produce any Protected Material before a

12 determination by the court from which the subpoena or order issued, unless the Party

13 has obtained the Designating Party’s permission. The Designating Party shall bear

14 the burden and expense of seeking protection in that court of its Protected Material

15 and nothing in these provisions should be construed as authorizing or encouraging a

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

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

18 IN THIS LITIGATION

(a) The terms of this Stipulated Protective Order are applicable to

19

information produced by a Non-Party in this Action and designated as

20

“CONFIDENTIAL” or “CONFIDENTIAL - AEO.” Such information

21

produced by Non-Parties in connection with this litigation is protected

22

by the remedies and relief provided by this Stipulated Protective Order.

23

Nothing in these provisions should be construed as prohibiting a Non-

24

Party from seeking additional protections.

25

(b) In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, to

26

produce a Non-Party’s “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items in its

27

1 not to produce the Non-Party’s “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or

2 Items, then the Party shall:

3 1) promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non-Party

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

5 confidentiality agreement with a Non-Party;

6 2) promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the Stipulated

7 Protective Order in this Action, the relevant discovery request(s),

8 and a reasonably specific description of the information requested;

9 and

10 3) make the information requested available for inspection by the Non-

11 Party, if requested.

12 (c) If the Non-Party fails to seek a protective order from the relevant court

13 within 14 days of receiving the notice and accompanying information,

14 the Receiving Party may produce the Non-Party’s “CONFIDENTIAL”

15 Information or Items responsive to the discovery request. If the Non-

16 Party timely seeks a protective order, the Receiving Party shall not

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

18 confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party before a determination by

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

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

21 Material.

22 10. UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL

23 If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has disclosed

24 Protected Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized under this

25 Stipulated Protective Order, the Receiving Party must immediately (a) notify in

26 writing the Designating Party of the unauthorized disclosures, (b) use its best efforts

27 to retrieve all unauthorized copies of the Protected Material, (c) inform the person or

1 and (d) request such person or persons to execute the “Acknowledgment and

2 Agreement to Be Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

3 11. INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE

4 PROTECTED MATERIAL

When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain

5

inadvertently produced material is subject to a claim of privilege or other protection,

6

the obligations of the Receiving Parties are those set forth in Federal Rule of Civil

7

Procedure 26(b)(5)(B). This provision is not intended to modify whatever procedure

8

may be established in an e-discovery order that provides for production without prior

9

privilege review. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 502(d) and (e), insofar as the

10

Parties reach an agreement on the effect of disclosure of a communication or

11

information covered by the attorney-client privilege or work product protection, the

12

Parties may incorporate their agreement in the stipulated protective order submitted

13

to the court provided the Court so allows.

14

12. MISCELLANEOUS

15

12.1 Right to Further Relief. Nothing in this Stipulated Protective Order

16

abridges the right of any person to seek its modification by the Court in the future.

17

12.2 Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of this

18

Protective Order, no Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to

19

disclosing or producing any information or item on any ground not addressed in this

20

Stipulated Protective Order. Similarly, no Party waives any right to object on any

21

ground to use in evidence of any of the material covered by this Stipulated Protective

22

Order.

23

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

24

Protected Material must comply with Civil Local Rule 79-5. Protected Material may

25

only be filed under seal pursuant to a Court order authorizing the sealing of the

26

specific Protected Material at issue. If a Party's request to file Protected Material under

27

1 public record unless otherwise instructed by the Court.

2 13. FINAL DISPOSITION

3 After the final disposition of this Action, as defined in paragraph 4, within 60

4 days of a written request by the Designating Party, each Receiving Party must return

5 all Protected Material to the Producing Party or destroy such material. As used in this

6 subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes all copies, abstracts, compilations,

7 summaries, and any other format reproducing or capturing any of the Protected

8 Material. Whether the Protected Material is returned or destroyed, the Receiving

9 Party must submit a written certification to the Producing Party (and, if not the same

10 person or entity, to the Designating Party) by the 60 day deadline that (1) identifies

11 (by category, where appropriate) all the Protected Material that was returned or

12 destroyed and (2) affirms that the Receiving Party has not retained any copies,

13 abstracts, compilations, summaries or any other format reproducing or capturing any

14 of the Protected Material. Notwithstanding this provision, Counsel are entitled to

15 retain an archival copy of all pleadings, motion papers, trial, deposition, and hearing

16 transcripts, legal memoranda, correspondence, deposition and trial exhibits, expert

17 reports, attorney work product, and consultant and expert work product, even if such

18 materials contain Protected Material. Any such archival copies that contain or

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

20 Section 4 (DURATION).

21 14. Any violation of this Stipulated Protective Order may be punished by any and all

22 appropriate measures including, without limitation, contempt proceedings and/or

23 monetary sanctions.

24 IT IS SO STIPULATED, THROUGH COUNSEL OF RECORD.
