[PROPOSED] STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

JOHN E. McDERMOTT, District Judge.

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

Pursuant to agreement between Plaintiff Activision Publishing, Inc. on the one hand, and Defendants Activision TV, Inc., Ad Media Displays, Inc., and David Gothard on the other hand (collectively, the "Parties" and each a "Party") and approval of the Court, this Protective Order, as modified, shall govern the production of confidential documents, deposition testimony and information in this action.

I. GOOD CAUSE STATEMENT

Good cause exists for entry of this Protective Order because the Parties to this action: (1) have sought and expect to seek in the future the discovery of certain information in this action that is sensitive, private, and confidential, or that third parties required to get involved in discovery in this action might believe is sensitive, private, and confidential, including, but not limited to, information concerning the source code underlying the Parties' proprietary software, amounts paid under and other terms in confidential contracts entered into by the Parties with third parties, and the financial and other terms of contracts entered into by the Parties that are competitively sensitive and that would harm the Parties if such terms were disclosed to their competitors; (2) believe that unrestricted disclosure or dissemination of such confidential information will cause them some business, commercial, and privacy injury; (3) desire an efficient and practicable means to designate such information as "Confidential" or "Confidential — Attorneys' Eyes Only" and thereby help ensure its continued protection against unwarranted disclosure or dissemination; and (4) have agreed to such means as set forth herein.

II. PURPOSE OF THE PROTECTIVE ORDER

The purpose of this Protective Order is to provide a means for limiting access to and the use and disclosure of confidential documents, deposition testimony and information produced in this action.

III. DESIGNATION OF CONFIDENTIAL DOCUMENTS, DEPOSITION TESTIMONY AND INFORMATION

Any Party or non-party who either produces documents or information, provides written discovery responses or gives deposition testimony in this action may designate such documents, responses, deposition testimony or information as "Confidential" or "Confidential — Attorneys' Eyes Only" in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph:

The Parties and any non-party shall limit to whatever extent possible designating information as "Confidential" or "Confidential — Attorneys' Eyes Only."

A. Criteria For Classification

1. "Confidential" documents, deposition testimony or information. A Party or non-party may designate documents, deposition testimony or information as "Confidential" if the Party or non-party making such designation reasonably believes that the documents, deposition testimony or information contains or discloses trade secrets or other confidential technical or commercial information that has not been made public.

2. Confidential — Attorneys' Eyes Only" documents, deposition testimony or information. A Party or non-party may designate documents, deposition testimony or information as "Confidential — Attorneys' Eyes Only" if (a) the Party or non-party making such designation reasonably believes that the documents, deposition testimony or information satisfy the criteria for designating such documents, deposition testimony or information as "Confidential" pursuant to Paragraph III(A)(1) above; and (b) the designating Party believes, in good faith, the disclosure of the documents, deposition testimony or information is likely to cause harm to the competitive position of the designating Party holding proprietary rights thereto. Such "Confidential — Attorneys' Eyes Only" documents, deposition testimony and information may include, without limitation, source code, trade secrets, confidential technical information, technical practices, methods, or other know-how, minutes of Board meetings, pricing data, financial data, sales information, customer-confidential information, agreements or relationships with non-parties, market projections or forecasts, strategic business plans, selling or marketing strategies or new product development, testing, manufacturing costs or information about employees.

B. Time Of Designation

Unless otherwise agreed between counsel for the Parties, the designation of "Confidential" or "Confidential — Attorneys' Eyes Only" documents, deposition testimony and information shall be made at the following times:

2. For declarations, written discovery responses, and pleadings, at the time of the service or filing, whichever occurs first; and

3. For deposition testimony, at the time such deposition testimony is given, by a statement designating the deposition testimony as "Confidential" or "Confidential — Attorneys' Eyes Only" made on the record or as set forth in Paragraph III(C)(4) below.

4. To the extent a Party or non-party does not timely designate documents, deposition testimony or information as "Confidential" or "Confidential — Attorneys' Eyes Only" such Party or non-party may so designate documents, deposition testimony or information as provided under Paragraph III(D), below.

C. Manner Of Designation

The designation of "Confidential" or "Confidential — Attorneys' Eyes Only" documents, deposition testimony or information shall be made in the following manner:

2. For tangible items, by placing the notation "Confidential" or "Confidential — Attorneys' Eyes Only" on the object or container thereof or if impracticable, as otherwise agreed by the Parties;

3. For declarations, written discovery responses, court filings or pleadings, by placing the notation "Confidential" or "Confidential — Attorneys' Eyes Only" both on the face of such document and on any particular designated pages of such document; and

4. For deposition testimony, by orally designating such deposition testimony as being "Confidential" or "Confidential — Attorneys' Eyes Only" at the time the deposition testimony is given. Thereafter, the original and all copies of the "Confidential" or "Confidential — Attorneys' Eyes Only" portions of the transcript of any such deposition testimony shall be separately bound and marked by the Court Reporter with the legend "`CONFIDENTIAL' OR `CONFIDENTIAL — ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY.'" Such transcript and deposition testimony shall be disclosed and used only in accordance with the provisions of this Protective Order. At the request of Counsel for the designating Party supplying the "Confidential" or "Confidential — Attorneys' Eyes Only" documents, deposition testimony or information, only persons entitled under Paragraph IV(A) hereinafter as to "Confidential" information, and/or Paragraph IV(B) hereinafter as to "Confidential — Attorneys' Eyes Only" information shall be permitted to attend that portion of a deposition wherever or whenever any such "Confidential" or "Confidential — Attorneys' Eyes Only" documents, deposition testimony or information of such designating party is used or elicited from the deponent.

In addition to the above, counsel for any Party or non-party may designate a deposition as "Confidential" or "Confidential — Attorneys' Eyes Only" by serving upon counsel for each Party a written list of the specific portions as to which such status is claimed. Such written list must be served within ten (10) business days after transmittal to counsel of the transcript of such testimony. All deposition testimony shall be treated as "Confidential — Attorneys' Eyes Only" until the expiration of the ten (10) business day period and, if the aforesaid written list is served upon counsel, shall be treated as "Confidential" or "Confidential — Attorneys' Eyes Only" as so designated.

D. Subsequent Designation

Failure to designate and/or mark any document, deposition testimony or information as "Confidential" or "Confidential — Attorneys' Eyes Only" shall not preclude the designating Party from thereafter in good faith making such a designation and requesting the receiving Party to so mark and treat such documents, deposition testimony, or information so designated. Such designation and request shall be made in writing. Once notified of the designation, the receiving Party, must make reasonable efforts to assure that the document, deposition testimony or information is thereafter treated in accordance with the provisions of this Order, including making reasonable efforts to recover and return to the designating Party all non-designated versions of any document, deposition testimony, or information that contains "Confidential" and/or "Confidential — Attorneys' Eyes Only" information, and to notify all receivers of the non-designated versions of document, deposition testimony, or information of the designation. After such designation, such documents, deposition testimony or information shall be fully subject to this Protective Order. Provided the receiving Party and its counsel act in good faith to secure compliance with the terms of this Protective Order with respect to such "Confidential" and/or "Confidential — Attorneys' Eyes Only" information following its designation, the receiving Party and its counsel, shall incur no liability for disclosures made prior to notice of such designation. The designating Party may request in writing, and the receiving Party shall, within ten (10) days of such a request, provide an identification in writing of all persons not qualified under this Protective Order who have received the "Confidential" and/or "Confidential — Attorneys' Eyes Only" information prior to the time it was so designated.

E. Resolution Of Disputes Regarding Designation

The acceptance by a Party of "Confidential" or "Confidential — Attorneys' Eyes Only" documents, deposition testimony or information shall not constitute an admission or concession or permit an inference that such "Confidential" or "Confidential — Attorneys' Eyes Only" documents, deposition testimony or information are, in fact, "Confidential" or "Confidential — Attorneys' Eyes Only." However, the documents, deposition testimony or information will be treated as designated unless the receiving Party follows the procedures to remove, change or otherwise declassify the designation as set forth in this Paragraph.

If a receiving Party, at any time, wishes to have the "Confidential" or "Confidential — Attorneys' Eyes Only" designation of any particular documents, deposition testimony or information removed or changed, that Party shall comply with Local Rule 37, and first request in writing that the designating Party or non-party remove its designation and state the reason therefor. Within ten (10) business days of the service of such request, counsel for the Party or non-party seeking confidential treatment shall serve its response in writing to any such notification by either: (i) withdrawing such designation, or (ii) sending a Local Rule 37-1 meet and confer letter, explaining why the Party or non-party designating the particular documents, deposition testimony or information believes it is entitled to the designation. If after the Local Rule 37-1 meet and confer conference the Parties do not otherwise resolve the dispute, counsel for the Party or non-party seeking confidential treatment shall comply with Local Rule 37-2 (Joint Stipulation) to seek permission of the Court to so designate the particular documents, deposition testimony or information. Unless otherwise extended by consent of the parties, the designating Party or non-party shall file its joint stipulation and notice of motion within fourteen (14) days of the Local Rule 37-1 meet and confer conference. The designating Party or non-party shall have the burden of proving that such particular documents, deposition testimony or information are properly designated as "Confidential" or "Confidential — Attorneys' Eyes Only" pursuant to Article III. If such application or motion is timely made, the Parties shall treat the document, deposition testimony or information as originally designated until the motion is decided by the Court.

A copy of such signed agreement shall be provided by the receiving Party's counsel of record to the designating Party's counsel of record prior to providing the recipient with any "Confidential" or "Confidential — Attorneys' Eyes Only" documents, deposition testimony or information.

Prior to disclosing or providing copies of any "Confidential" or "Confidential — Attorneys' Eyes Only" documents, deposition testimony and information to any expert witness or consultant pursuant to Paragraphs IV(A) or IV(B) above, the person or Party making such disclosure shall first obtain the agreement of the expert witness or consultant to whom such disclosure will be made to be bound by the terms of this Protective Order as set forth in the attached form agreement. In addition, at least ten (10) business days prior to making such disclosure to an expert witness or consultant, the person or party making such disclosure shall serve upon the designating Party:

1. A copy of the agreement signed by the expert witness or consultant;

2. The identity of the expert witness or consultant;

3. The identity of the present employer of the expert witness or consultant;

F. Resolution Of Disputes Regarding Disclosure To Expert Witnesses Or Consultants

Any Party may object to a proposed disclosure to an expert witness or consultant ("Proposed Disclosure") by sending a letter stating the reasons for objection within seven (7) business days after service of the signed agreement and information set forth in Paragraph IV(E).

The parties shall meet and confer in a good faith effort to resolve the objection. This meet and confer shall occur within ten (10) business days after the date the identifying party receives written notice of the objection to its designation, unless the parties stipulate in writing to extend the meet and confer period.

If the meet and confer process does not resolve the pending objections to the identified expert witness or consultant, then the party objecting to the identified expert witness or consultant must move the Court for a protective order within ten (10) business days after the conclusion of the meet and confer period, unless the parties stipulate in writing to extend the time within which such a motion might be filed. A failure to timely file such a motion shall operate as a waiver of the objection made under this Section.

There shall be no disclosure to such expert or consultant until the Court has ruled upon the application or motion, and then only in accordance with the ruling so made. The filing and pendency of such motion shall not limit, delay or defer any disclosure of the "Confidential" or "Confidential — Attorneys' Eyes Only" documents, deposition testimony and information to persons as to whom no such objection has been made, nor shall it delay or defer any other pending discovery unless the motion and the inability to disclose Confidential documents, deposition testimony and information bear directly on the non-objecting Party's ability to conduct such discovery.

V. USE OF "CONFIDENTIAL" OR "CONFIDENTIAL — ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY" DOCUMENTS, DEPOSITION TESTIMONY AND INFORMATION

A. Use Of Designated Documents and Information

1. "Confidential" or "Confidential — Attorneys' Eyes Only" documents, deposition testimony and information shall be used by the receiving Parties, their respective agents, and any other persons to whom such documents, deposition testimony and information may be disclosed pursuant to the Protective Order, for no purpose other than: (a) the prosecution or defense of this action; or (b) as otherwise compelled by lawful process (provided the designating Party is given reasonable notice to object); (c) as otherwise required by law; or (d) as permitted by the Court.

2. Notwithstanding the Parties' designation of "Confidential" or "Confidential — Attorneys' Eyes Only" documents, deposition testimony or information, any Court hearing that refers to or describes "Confidential" or "Confidential — Attorneys' Eyes Only" documents, deposition testimony or information may be held in open court with records unsealed, provided the designating Party is afforded reasonable notice of the receiving Party's intent to disclose such "Confidential" or "Confidential — Attorneys' Eyes Only" documents, deposition testimony and information in open court, so that the designating Party has a reasonable opportunity to seek to maintain the confidentiality of the "Confidential" or "Confidential — Attorneys' Eyes Only" documents, deposition testimony or information. However, any Party may request that the proceedings be conducted in camera out of the presence of any unqualified persons, and any transcript relating thereto be designated as "Confidential" or "Confidential — Attorneys' Eyes Only" and prepared in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph III(C) above.

3. In the event a Party wishes to use any "Confidential" or "Confidential — Attorneys' Eyes Only" documents, deposition testimony or information of the other party in any affidavits, briefs, memoranda of law, or other papers to be filed in Court in this litigation, the Party shall comply with Local Rule 79-5. Any such application pursuant to Local Rule 79-5 must show good cause for the under seal filing. The application shall be directed to the judge to whom the papers to be filed are directed. Pending the ruling on the application, the papers or portions thereof subject to the sealing application shall be lodged under seal.

4. The Parties shall provide each other with a list of "Confidential" or "Confidential — Attorneys' Eyes Only" documents, deposition testimony or information to be used at trial at such time as the list of exhibits is ordered by the court to be exchanged among the Parties to enable the designating Party sufficient opportunity to seek a protective order. Any such "Confidential" or "Confidential — Attorneys' Eyes Only" documents, deposition testimony or information which is designated by any Party to be introduced at trial may be offered into evidence in open court unless the opposing Party obtains an appropriate protective order from the Court before its introduction. Should a Party at trial determine that reference to previously unlisted "Confidential" or "Confidential — Attorneys' Eyes Only" documents, deposition testimony or information is necessary for impeachment or due to surprise, the provisions of Paragraph V(A)(2) shall be applied.

5. Nothing in this Protective Order shall affect the admissibility of "Confidential" or "Confidential — Attorneys' Eyes Only" documents, deposition testimony or information, or abridge the rights of any person to seek judicial review through the procedure set forth in Local Rule 37 with respect to any ruling made by the Court concerning the issue of the status of "Confidential" or "Confidential — Attorneys' Eyes Only" documents, deposition testimony or information. This Protective Order is without prejudice to any Party seeking an Order from this Court, through the procedure set forth in Local Rule 37, imposing further restrictions on the dissemination of "Confidential" or "Confidential — Attorneys' Eyes Only" documents, deposition testimony or information, or seeking to rescind, modify, alter, or amend this Protective Order with respect to specific information.

6. In the event any person in receipt of "Confidential" or "Confidential — Attorneys' Eyes Only" documents, deposition testimony or information shall receive a written request, subpoena, or Court Order seeking disclosure of another Party's "Confidential" or "Confidential — Attorneys' Eyes Only" documents, deposition testimony or information, such person shall immediately upon receipt of such request, subpoena, or Court Order, notify counsel for the designating Party of the request, subpoena, or Court Order, and shall provide counsel for the designating Party with a copy of the same, unless prohibited by law.

7. A Party producing any document or thing for inspection may retain the original of such document or thing which is subject to this Protective Order, but the receiving Party, by its counsel of record, shall have the right to examine the original, to be provided with a full and complete copy thereof at its expense, and to call for production of the original at the trial of this action, if reasonably necessary.

VI. DOCUMENTS, DEPOSITION TESTIMONY AND INFORMATION EXCLUDED FROM PROTECTIVE ORDER

The obligations relating to any document, deposition testimony or information subject to this Protective Order shall not apply to any document, deposition testimony or information designated as being subject to this Protective Order which: (a) was lawfully in the receiving Party's possession prior to the receipt from the supplying party; (b) became public knowledge by means not in violation of the provisions of this Protective Order; (c) was, or is hereafter, obtained from a source or sources not under an obligation of secrecy to the other Party; (d) is discovered independently by the receiving Party; or (e) is exempted from the provisions of this Protective Order by written consent of the Party producing such "Confidential" or "Confidential — Attorneys' Eyes Only" documents, deposition testimony or information.

Notwithstanding the provisions of Article III above, nothing herein shall prevent any producing Party from using or disclosing its own "Confidential" or "Confidential — Attorneys' Eyes Only" documents, deposition testimony or information as it deems appropriate. Nothing in this Order shall preclude any Party from showing an employee of a designating Party at a deposition of that employee any "Confidential" or "Confidential — Attorneys' Eyes Only" documents, deposition testimony or information of the designating Party.

VII. RETURN OF DOCUMENTS, DEPOSITION TESTIMONY OR INFORMATION

Within sixty (60) days after conclusion of litigation, outside counsel for each receiving Party or other individual subject to this Protective Order (which does not include the Court and Court personnel) shall be under an obligation to assemble and return to the designating Party, or to destroy (and certify the destruction) should the designating Party so permit, any document, deposition testimony and information subject to this Protective Order and all copies thereof. Any copy of any document, deposition testimony or information designated by the opposing party as "Confidential" or "Confidential — Attorneys' Eyes Only" containing notes of outside counsel may be destroyed rather than returned. Notice of the return or destruction of any "Confidential" or "Confidential — Attorneys' Eyes Only" document, deposition testimony or information shall be made in writing, and notice of receipt thereof shall be acknowledged in writing. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Paragraph, outside counsel shall be entitled to retain all memoranda or reports prepared by them or any expert witness or consultant which contain "Confidential" or "Confidential — Attorneys' Eyes Only" documents, deposition testimony or information and litigation documents containing "Confidential" or "Confidential — Attorneys' Eyes Only" documents, deposition testimony or information which become part of the record of this action, including pleadings, briefs, deposition transcripts and exhibits, but such litigation documents shall be used only for the purpose of preserving a record of the action, and shall not, without the written permission of the opposing Party or an order of this Court, be disclosed to anyone other than those to whom such information was actually disclosed, in accordance with this Protective Order, during the course of this action.

VIII. SURVIVAL

All obligations and duties arising under this Protective Order shall survive as stated herein until the commencement of trial in this action. In advance of trial, any party to this Protective Order may move the Court to maintain the confidentiality of any document or information governed by this Protective Order, upon a showing of good cause to the district judge. In the event this action terminates prior to the commencement of trial, this Protective Order shall survive the termination of this action. The Court retains jurisdiction over the Parties hereto indefinitely with respect to any dispute regarding the improper use of "Confidential" or "Confidential — Attorneys' Eyes Only" documents, deposition testimony or information disclosed under protection of this Protective Order.

IX. INADVERTENT PRODUCTION

The inadvertent or mistaken disclosure of any "Confidential" or "Confidential — Attorneys' Eyes Only" documents, deposition testimony or information by a producing Party, without the designation required under Article II, above, shall not constitute a waiver of any claim that the inadvertently disclosed material is entitled to protection under this Order, if such inadvertent or mistaken disclosure is brought to the attention of the receiving Party promptly after the producing Party's discovery of such disclosure. Along with notice of inadvertent or mistaken disclosure, the producing Party shall provide properly marked documents to each Party to whom "Confidential" or "Confidential — Attorneys' Eyes Only" documents, deposition testimony or information was inadvertently disclosed; and upon receipt of these properly marked documents, the receiving Party shall return to the producing Party, or destroy, the improperly marked documents that were initially produced, along with any copies or duplicates thereof.

If a Party through inadvertence produces or provides discovery which it believes is subject to a claim of attorney-client privilege or work product immunity, the producing Party may give written notice to the receiving Party or parties that the document or thing is subject to a claim of attorney-client privilege or work product immunity and request that the document or thing be returned to the producing Party. The receiving Party or parties shall promptly return to the producing Party such document or thing, including all copies of such document or thing, and portions thereof, and shall not retain any copies thereof. Return of the document by the receiving Party shall not constitute an admission or concession, or permit any inference, that the returned document or thing is, in fact, properly subject to a claim of attorney-client privilege or work product immunity nor shall it foreclose any party from moving the Court for any order that such document or thing has been improperly designated or should be producible for reasons other than a waiver caused by the inadvertent production.

X. NO IMPLIED WAIVER OR ADMISSION

No Party shall be obligated to challenge the propriety of any designation of "Confidential" or "Confidential — Attorneys' Eyes Only" documents, deposition testimony or information by another Party or non-party, and the failure to do so shall not constitute a waiver or otherwise preclude a subsequent challenge to the designation.

XI. NOTICE AND SERVICE

For purposes of any provisions in this Protective Order requiring or permitting service of a notice, objections, requests, responses, designations or the like, service shall be accomplished either by email or by overnight delivery via a commercial delivery service to all counsel of record. When served via email, service shall be deemed complete on the date of transmission if the electronic transmission occurs before 5:00 p.m. Pacific time; otherwise, service shall be deemed complete the next business day. Service via overnight delivery shall be deemed complete upon delivery.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
