1 I. PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS 2 A. 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 Stipulated Protective Order. The parties acknowledge that this Order does 7 not confer blanket protections on all disclosures or responses to discovery and that the 8 protection it affords from public disclosure and use extends only to the limited 9 information or items that are entitled to confidential treatment under the applicable 10 legal principles. The parties further acknowledge, as set forth in Section XIII(C), 11 below, that this Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle them to file confidential 12 information under seal; Civil Local Rule 79-5 sets forth the procedures that must be 13 followed and the standards that will be applied when a party seeks permission from 14 the Court to file material under seal. 15 II. GOOD CAUSE STATEMENT 16 A. This action is likely to involve trade secrets, customer and pricing lists 17 and other valuable research, development, commercial, financial, technical and/or 18 proprietary information for which special protection from public disclosure and from 19 use for any purpose other than prosecution of this action is warranted. Such 20 confidential and proprietary materials and information consist of, among other things, 21 confidential business or financial information, information regarding confidential 22 business practices, or other confidential research, development, or commercial 23 information (including information implicating privacy rights of third parties), 24 information otherwise generally unavailable to the public, or which may be privileged 25 or otherwise protected from disclosure under state or federal statutes, court rules, case 26 decisions, or common law. 27 /// 28 /// 1 Additionally, here, there is a need for a two-tiered, attorneys’ eyes only 2 protective order that designates certain material as “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – 3 ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” because the Parties are direct competitors, and 4 discovery in this case is expected to involve disclosure of sensitive pricing 5 information, such as profits margins, and sourcing information. See Elements Spirits, 6 Inc. v. Iconic Brands, Inc., Civ. No. CV 15-02692 DDP(AGRx),

, 7 at *1–*2 (C.D. Cal. May 9, 2016) (holding that protective order with attorneys’ eyes 8 only designation was warranted to protect party’s confidential information) (citing 9 Nutratech, Inc. v. Syntech Int’l, Inc.,

(C.D. Cal. 2008); Brown 10 Bag Software v. Symantec Corp.,

(9th Cir. 1992)). 11 Accordingly, to expedite the flow of information, to facilitate the prompt 12 resolution of disputes over confidentiality of discovery materials, to adequately 13 protect information the parties are entitled to keep confidential, to ensure that the 14 parties are permitted reasonable necessary uses of such material in preparation for and 15 in the conduct of trial, to address their handling at the end of the litigation, and serve 16 the ends of justice, a protective order for such information is justified in this matter. It 17 is the intent of the parties that information will not be designated as confidential for 18 tactical reasons and that nothing be so designated without a good faith belief that it 19 has been maintained in a confidential, non-public manner, and there is good cause 20 why it should not be part of the public record of this case. 21 III. DEFINITIONS 22 A. Action: This pending federal law suit. 23 B. Challenging Party: A Party or Non-Party that challenges the designation 24 of information or items under this Order. 25 C. “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items: Information (regardless of 26 how it is generated, stored or maintained) or tangible things that qualify for protection 27 under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(c), and as specified above in the Good 28 Cause Statement. 1 D. “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” 2 Information or Items: information or items that is/are extremely confidential and/or 3 sensitive, the disclosure of which to any other Party or Non-Party would create a 4 substantial risk of serious harm, including competitive injury, that could not be 5 avoided by less restrictive means. The Parties agree there is a need in this case for a 6 highly confidential designation because the Parties are direct competitors, and 7 discovery in this case is expected to involve disclosure of sensitive pricing 8 information, such as profit margins, and sourcing information. 9 E. Counsel: Outside Counsel of Record and House Counsel (as well as their 10 support staff). 11 F. Designating Party: A Party or Non-Party that designates information or 12 items that it produces in disclosures or in responses to discovery as 13 “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES 14 ONLY”. 15 G. Disclosure or Discovery Material: All items or information, regardless of 16 the medium or manner in which it is generated, stored, or maintained (including, 17 among other things, testimony, transcripts, and tangible things), that are produced or 18 generated in disclosures or responses to discovery in this matter. 19 H. Expert: A person with specialized knowledge or experience in a matter 20 pertinent to the litigation who has been retained by a Party or its counsel to serve as an 21 expert witness or as a consultant in this Action. 22 I. House Counsel: Attorneys who are employees of a party to this Action. 23 House Counsel does not include Outside Counsel of Record or any other outside 24 counsel. 25 J. Non-Party: Any natural person, partnership, corporation, association, or 26 other legal entity not named as a Party to this action. 27 K. Outside Counsel of Record: Attorneys who are not employees of a party 28 to this Action but are retained to represent or advise a party to this Action and have 1 appeared in this Action on behalf of that party or are affiliated with a law firm which 2 has appeared on behalf of that party, and includes support staff. 3 L. Party: Any party to this Action, including all of its officers, directors, 4 employees, consultants, retained experts, and Outside Counsel of Record (and their 5 support staffs). 6 M. Producing Party: A Party or Non-Party that produces Disclosure or 7 Discovery Material in this Action. 8 N. Professional Vendors: Persons or entities that provide litigation support 9 services (e.g., photocopying, videotaping, translating, preparing exhibits or 10 demonstrations, and organizing, storing, or retrieving data in any form or medium) 11 and their employees and subcontractors. 12 O. Protected Material: Any Disclosure or Discovery Material that is 13 designated as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ 14 EYES ONLY”. 15 P. Receiving Party: A Party that receives Disclosure or Discovery Material 16 from a Producing Party. 17 IV. SCOPE 18 A. The protections conferred by this Stipulation and Order cover not only 19 Protected Material (as defined above), but also (1) any information copied or 20 extracted from Protected Material; (2) all copies, excerpts, summaries, or 21 compilations of Protected Material; and (3) any testimony, conversations, or 22 presentations by Parties or their Counsel that might reveal Protected Material. 23 B. Any use of Protected Material at trial shall be governed by the orders of 24 the trial judge. This Order does not govern the use of Protected Material at trial. 25 V. DURATION 26 A. Even after final disposition of this litigation, the confidentiality 27 obligations imposed by this Order shall remain in effect until a Designating Party 28 agrees otherwise in writing or a court order otherwise directs. Final disposition shall 1 be deemed to be the later of (1) dismissal of all claims and defenses in this Action, 2 with or without prejudice; and (2) final judgment herein after the completion and 3 exhaustion of all appeals, rehearings, remands, trials, or reviews of this Action, 4 including the time limits for filing any motions or applications for extension of time 5 pursuant to applicable law. 6 VI. DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL 7 A. Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection 8 1. Each Party or Non-Party that designates information or items for 9 protection under this Order must take care to limit any such designation to specific 10 material that qualifies under the appropriate standards. The Designating Party must 11 designate for protection only those parts of material, documents, items, or oral or 12 written communications that qualify so that other portions of the material, documents, 13 items, or communications for which protection is not warranted are not swept 14 unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order. 15 2. Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited. 16 Designations that are shown to be clearly unjustified or that have been made for an 17 improper purpose (e.g., to unnecessarily encumber the case development process or to 18 impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the 19 Designating Party to sanctions. 20 3. If it comes to a Designating Party’s attention that information or items 21 that it designated for protection do not qualify for protection, that Designating Party 22 must promptly notify all other Parties that it is withdrawing the inapplicable 23 designation. 24 B. Manner and Timing of Designations 25 1. Except as otherwise provided in this Order (see, e.g., Section B(2)(b) 26 below), or as otherwise stipulated or ordered, Disclosure or Discovery Material that 27 qualifies for protection under this Order must be clearly so designated before the 28 material is disclosed or produced. 1 2. Designation in conformity with this Order requires the following: 2 a. For information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic 3 documents, but excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial 4 proceedings), that the Producing Party affix at a minimum, the legend 5 “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES 6 ONLY” (hereinafter “CONFIDENTIAL legend”), to each page that contains protected 7 material. If only a portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies for 8 protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected portion(s) 9 (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins). 10 b. A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents available for 11 inspection need not designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has 12 indicated which documents it would like copied and produced. During the inspection 13 and before the designation, all of the material made available for inspection shall be 14 deemed “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ 15 EYES ONLY”. After the inspecting Party has identified the documents it wants 16 copied and produced, the Producing Party must determine which documents, or 17 portions thereof, qualify for protection under this Order. Then, before producing the 18 specified documents, the Producing Party must affix the “CONFIDENTIAL legend” 19 to each page that contains Protected Material. If only a portion or portions of the 20 material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly 21 identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the 22 margins). 23 c. For testimony given in depositions, that the Designating Party identify 24 the Disclosure or Discovery Material on the record, before the close of the deposition 25 all protected testimony. 26 d. For information produced in form other than document and for any other 27 tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on the exterior of 28 the container or containers in which the information is stored the legend 1 “CONFIDENTIAL.” If only a portion or portions of the information warrants 2 protection, the Producing Party, to the extent practicable, shall identify the protected 3 portion(s). 4 C. Inadvertent Failure to Designate 5 1. If timely corrected, an inadvertent failure to designate qualified 6 information or items does not, standing alone, waive the Designating Party’s right to 7 secure protection under this Order for such material. Upon timely correction of a 8 designation, the Receiving Party must make reasonable efforts to assure that the 9 material is treated in accordance with the provisions of this Order. 10 VII. CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS 11 A. Timing of Challenges 12 1. Any party or Non-Party may challenge a designation of confidentiality at 13 any time that is consistent with the Court’s Scheduling Order. 14 B. Meet and Confer 15 1. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute resolution process under 16 Local Rule 37.1 et seq. 17 C. The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on 18 the Designating Party. Frivolous challenges, and those made for an improper purpose 19 (e.g., to harass or impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may 20 expose the Challenging Party to sanctions. Unless the Designating Party has waived 21 or withdrawn the confidentiality designation, all parties shall continue to afford the 22 material in question the level of protection to which it is entitled under the Producing 23 Party’s designation until the Court rules on the challenge. 24 VIII. ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL 25 A. Basic Principles 26 1. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is disclosed or 27 produced by another Party or by a Non-Party in connection with this Action only for 28 prosecuting, defending, or attempting to settle this Action. Such Protected Material 1 may be disclosed only to the categories of persons and under the conditions described 2 in this Order. When the Action has been terminated, a Receiving Party must comply 3 with the provisions of Section XIV below. 4 2. Protected Material must be stored and maintained by a Receiving Party at 5 a location and in a secure manner that ensures that access is limited to the persons 6 authorized under this Order. 7 B. Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – 8 ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” Information or Items 9 1. Unless otherwise ordered by the Court or permitted in writing by the 10 Designating Party, a Receiving Party may disclose any information or item designated 11 “CONFIDENTIAL” only to: 12 a. The Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of Record in this Action, as well 13 as employees of said Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably necessary to 14 disclose the information for this Action; 15 b. The officers, directors, and employees (including House Counsel) of the 16 Receiving Party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action; 17 c. Experts (as defined in this Order) of the Receiving Party to whom 18 disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have signed the 19 “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A); 20 d. The Court and its personnel; 21 e. Court reporters and their staff; 22 f. Professional jury or trial consultants, mock jurors, and Professional 23 Vendors to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary or this Action and who have 24 signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to be Bound” attached as Exhibit A 25 hereto; 26 g. The author or recipient of a document containing the information or a 27 custodian or other person who otherwise possessed or knew the information; 28 /// 1 h. During their depositions, witnesses, and attorneys for witnesses, in the 2 Action to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary provided: (i) the deposing party 3 requests that the witness sign the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound;” 4 and (ii) they will not be permitted to keep any confidential information unless they 5 sign the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound,” unless otherwise agreed by 6 the Designating Party or ordered by the Court. Pages of transcribed deposition 7 testimony or exhibits to depositions that reveal Protected Material may be separately 8 bound by the court reporter and may not be disclosed to anyone except as permitted 9 under this Stipulated Protective Order; and 10 i. Any mediator or settlement officer, and their supporting personnel, 11 mutually agreed upon by any of the parties engaged in settlement discussions. 12 2. Unless otherwise ordered by the Court or permitted in writing by the 13 Designating Party, a Receiving Party may disclose any information or item designated 14 “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” only to: 15 a. The Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of Record in this Action, as well 16 as employees of said Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably necessary to 17 disclose the information for this Action; 18 b. Experts (as defined in this Order) of the Receiving Party to whom 19 disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have signed the 20 “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A); 21 c. The Court and its personnel; 22 d. Court reporters and their staff; 23 e. Professional jury or trial consultants, mock jurors, and Professional 24 Vendors to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary or this Action and who have 25 signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to be Bound” attached as Exhibit A 26 hereto; 27 f. The author or recipient of a document containing the information or a 28 custodian or other person who otherwise possessed or knew the information; 1 g. During their depositions, witnesses, and attorneys for witnesses, in the 2 Action to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary provided: (i) the deposing party 3 requests that the witness sign the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound;” 4 and (ii) they will not be permitted to keep any confidential information unless they 5 sign the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound,” unless otherwise agreed by 6 the Designating Party or ordered by the Court. Pages of transcribed deposition 7 testimony or exhibits to depositions that reveal Protected Material may be separately 8 bound by the court reporter and may not be disclosed to anyone except as permitted 9 under this Stipulated Protective Order; and 10 h. Any mediator or settlement officer, and their supporting personnel, 11 mutually agreed upon by any of the parties engaged in settlement discussions. 12 IX. PROTECTED MATERIAL SUPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED 13 IN OTHER LITIGATION 14 A. If a Party is served with a subpoena or a court order issued in other 15 litigation that compels disclosure of any information or items designated in this 16 Action as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ 17 EYES ONLY” that Party must: 18 1. Promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification shall 19 include a copy of the subpoena or court order; 20 2. Promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or order to 21 issue in the other litigation that some or all of the material covered by the subpoena or 22 order is subject to this Protective Order. Such notification shall include a copy of this 23 Stipulated Protective Order; and 24 3. Cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be pursued 25 by the Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected. 26 B. If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served 27 with the subpoena or court order shall not produce any information designated in this 28 action as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ 1 EYES ONLY” before a determination by the Court from which the subpoena or order 2 issued, unless the Party has obtained the Designating Party’s permission. The 3 Designating Party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking protection in that 4 court of its confidential material and nothing in these provisions should be construed 5 as authorizing or encouraging a Receiving Party in this Action to disobey a lawful 6 directive from another court. 7 X. A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE 8 PRODUCED IN THIS LITIGATION 9 A. The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by a Non- 10 Party in this Action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY 11 CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY”. Such information produced by 12 Non-Parties in connection with this litigation is protected by the remedies and relief 13 provided by this Order. Nothing in these provisions should be construed as 14 prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking additional protections. 15 B. In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, to 16 produce a Non-Party’s confidential information in its possession, and the Party is 17 subject to an agreement with the Non-Party not to produce the Non-Party’s 18 confidential information, then the Party shall: 19 1. Promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non-Party that 20 some or all of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality agreement with 21 a Non-Party; 22 2. Promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the Stipulated Protective 23 Order in this Action, the relevant discovery request(s), and a reasonably specific 24 description of the information requested; and 25 3. Make the information requested available for inspection by the Non- 26 Party, if requested. 27 C. If the Non-Party fails to seek a protective order from this court within 14 28 days of receiving the notice and accompanying information, the Receiving Party may 1 produce the Non-Party’s confidential information responsive to the discovery request. 2 If the Non-Party timely seeks a protective order, the Receiving Party shall not produce 3 any information in its possession or control that is subject to the confidentiality 4 agreement with the Non-Party before a determination by the court. Absent a court 5 order to the contrary, the Non-Party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking 6 protection in this court of its Protected Material. 7 XI. UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL 8 A. If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has 9 disclosed Protected Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized 10 under this Stipulated Protective Order, the Receiving Party must immediately (1) 11 notify in writing the Designating Party of the unauthorized disclosures, (2) use its best 12 efforts to retrieve all unauthorized copies of the Protected Material, (3) inform the 13 person or persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the terms of this 14 Order, and (4) request such person or persons to execute the “Acknowledgment and 15 Agreement to be Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit A. 16 XII. INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE 17 PROTECTED MATERIAL 18 A. When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain 19 inadvertently produced material is subject to a claim of privilege or other protection, 20 the obligations of the Receiving Parties are those set forth in Federal Rule of Civil 21 Procedure 26(b)(5)(B). This provision is not intended to modify whatever procedure 22 may be established in an e-discovery order that provides for production without prior 23 privilege review. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 502(d) and (e), insofar as the 24 parties reach an agreement on the effect of disclosure of a communication or 25 information covered by the attorney-client privilege or work product protection, the 26 parties may incorporate their agreement in the Stipulated Protective Order submitted 27 to the Court. 28 /// 1 XIII. MISCELLANEOUS 2 A. Right to Further Relief 3 1. Nothing in this Order abridges the right of any person to seek its 4 modification by the Court in the future. 5 B. Right to Assert Other Objections 6 1. By stipulating to the entry of this Protective Order, no Party waives any 7 right it otherwise would have to object to disclosing or producing any information or 8 item on any ground not addressed in this Stipulated Protective Order. Similarly, no 9 Party waives any right to object on any ground to use in evidence of any of the 10 material covered by this Protective Order. 11 C. Filing Protected Material 12 1. A Party that seeks to file under seal any Protected Material must comply 13 with Civil Local Rule 79-5. Protected Material may only be filed under seal pursuant 14 to a court order authorizing the sealing of the specific Protected Material at issue. If a 15 Party's request to file Protected Material under seal is denied by the Court, then the 16 Receiving Party may file the information in the public record unless otherwise 17 instructed by the Court. 18 XIV. FINAL DISPOSITION 19 A. After the final disposition of this Action, as defined in Section V, within 20 sixty (60) days of a written request by the Designating Party, each Receiving Party 21 must return all Protected Material to the Producing Party or destroy such material. As 22 used in this subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes all copies, abstracts, 23 compilations, summaries, and any other format reproducing or capturing any of the 24 Protected Material. Whether the Protected Material is returned or destroyed, the 25 Receiving Party must submit a written certification to the Producing Party (and, if not 26 the same person or entity, to the Designating Party) by the 60 day deadline that (1) 27 identifies (by category, where appropriate) all the Protected Material that was returned 28 or destroyed and (2) affirms that the Receiving Party has not retained any copies, 1 abstracts, compilations, summaries or any other format reproducing or capturing any 2 of the Protected Material. Notwithstanding this provision, Counsel are entitled to 3 retain an archival copy of all pleadings, motion papers, trial, deposition, and hearing 4 transcripts, legal memoranda, correspondence, deposition and trial exhibits, expert 5 reports, attorney work product, and consultant and expert work product, even if such 6 materials contain Protected Material. Any such archival copies that contain or 7 constitute Protected Material remain subject to this Protective Order as set forth in 8 Section V. 9 B. Any violation of this Order may be punished by any and all appropriate 10 measures including, without limitation, contempt proceedings and/or monetary 11 sanctions. 12 13 IT IS SO STIPULATED, THROUGH COUNSEL OF RECORD.
