Abrams 24 [Complaint Filed on 5/6/11] ORDER GRANTING STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER RE: CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL NOTE CHANGES MADE BY THE COURT Assigned for all Purposes: Judge Manuel L. Real WHEREAS, Plaintiff Bubblemania and Company LA LLC (“Plaintiff”) and 25 Defendant Jordan Savage d/b/a Best Bubble Parties (“Defendant”) enter into this 26 Stipulated Protective Order Re: Discovery with reference to the following facts and 27 representations: 28 STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER RE: CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL Dockets.Justia.com 1 A. This is an action between business competitors. Plaintiff sued 2 Defendant for copyright infringement of a script entitled “Bubbles Galore.” The 3 copyright is used in connection with performing the script for profit at private 4 parties and other gatherings. 5 B. Plaintiff contends that after Defendant was engaged to perform 6 “Bubbles Galore” for Plaintiff, Defendant retained copies of and/or access to certain 7 of Plaintiff’s proprietary information and/or goods. Plaintiff asserts that it has taken 8 significant steps to protect its proprietary information, including, but not limited to 9 its client lists, vendor information, sales information, notes, and financials. Due to 10 Plaintiff’s belief that Defendant has previously taken and/or utilized proprietary 11 information, as addressed in the pleadings, and due to its need to protect any 12 proprietary information from being injected into the public and further damaging its 13 business, Plaintiff believes it is necessary to ensure that confidential information 14 exchanged by and between the parties during discovery remains confidential. 15 C. The claims, defenses and damages arising from the allegation of 16 copyright infringement may require the Parties to disclose their sales information, 17 customer lists, and financial information concerning revenue, expenses, and other 18 proprietary information. The Parties deem such information to be trade secrets, 19 proprietary, and confidential providing them with competitive advantage relative to 20 each other and third parties offering arguably competing services. The Parties have 21 maintained such information as confidential and proprietary, carefully avoiding 22 public disclosure. The Parties wish to protect such confidential information from 23 unnecessary disclosure that would likely have an adverse affect on their business. 24 1. Protection of confidential business information, plans and 25 materials is common in litigation. See e.g. Nutratech, Inc. v. Syntech (SSPF) Int’l, 26 Inc., 242 F.R.D. 552, 555 (C.D. Cal. 2007) (“Fed.R.Civ.P. 26(c)(7) … allows for 27 protection of ‘confidential commercial information’”) (citing Vesta Corset Co., Inc. 28 -1STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER RE: CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL 1 v. Carmen Found., Inc., 1999 WL 13257, at *3 (S.D.N.Y. 1999) and Davis v. AT & 2 T Corp., 1998 WL 912012, at *2 (W.D.N.Y. 1998)). District courts have 3 specifically protected employee training materials. See Shimozono v. The May 4 Department Stores Co., 2002 WL 34373490, *15 (C.D. Cal. 2002). In addition, 5 other proprietary business information may be safeguarded though a protective 6 order. See Miles v. Boeing Co., 154 F.R.D. 112, 114-15 (E.D. Pa. 1994) (entering 7 protective order where information about defendant’s competitive labor pricing, if 8 made available to the general public, would allow competitors to examine 9 defendant’s production abilities); Sprinturf, Inc. v. Southwest Recreational 10 Industries, Inc., 216 F.R.D. 320, 324 (E.D. Pa. 2003) (protecting information about 11 defendant’s market share, the impact of plaintiffs’ requested relief on defendant’s 12 customers, and proprietary information regarding development of defendant’s 13 product line, the release of which competitors could exploit to undermine 14 defendant’s market position). 15 2. As these categories of documents are safeguarded by the Plaintiff 16 due to the fact that this proprietary information gives it a competitive edge, the harm 17 caused by their disclosure is evident. These are the types of documents that 18 Plaintiff’s competitors would be all too happy to get their hands on. Protection of 19 these documents is essential to allow the Parties to continue to provide services and 20 products to their customers. 21 3. The Parties’ Private Financial Information: Discovery Requests 22 that the Parties have indicated will be required for full adjudication of this action 23 include private financial information about the Parties. Plaintiff and Defendant will 24 also be asked to provide private financial information about themselves. All Parties 25 should be rightfully concerned about protecting private financial information, as the 26 allegations demonstrate that the Parties may require substantial review of financial 27 records of all Parties in order to determine a proper award of damages. This will 28 -2STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER RE: CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL 1 likely include, but is not limited to bank statements, accounts payable records, 2 accounts receivable records, tax records, personal books, and expense records. 3 4. These types of documents go well beyond the financially-related 4 materials that would be produced in a typical business lawsuit, and the documents 5 and information is proprietary in nature. As with business plans or internal 6 procedures, these types of documents are kept private by the Parties. Courts have 7 specifically allowed protection of these types of information in other matters. See 8 Transcor, Inc. v. Furney Charters, Inc., 212 F.R.D. 588, 593 (D. Kan. 2003) 9 (corporation’s bank records subject to protective order). As with business plans, 10 private financial information provides a roadmap for how the Parties run their 11 businesses, and it is safeguarded by the Parties due to the fact that this proprietary 12 information gives them a competitive edge. Again, these are the types of documents 13 that the Parties’ competitors would be all too happy to get their hands on, and the 14 Parties would be harmed by their disclosure. 15 16 IT IS HEREBY ORDERED as follows: 1. This Protective Order shall apply only to the “Confidential 17 Material” and “Confidential Material – Attorneys’ Eyes-Only” as defined below, 18 which are contained in documents and/or testimony that a Party discloses 19 voluntarily or under Court Order. 20 2. “Confidential Material” shall mean and refer to information and 21 material constituting or containing sales information, customer lists, tax returns, and 22 proprietary financial information concerning revenue and expenses of the Parties. 23 3. “Confidential Material – Attorneys’ Eyes-Only” shall mean and 24 refer to any document, discovery response, or deposition testimony which that party 25 considers in good faith to contain such highly-confidential information that it 26 would be detrimental to that party to share such information with the other party, 27 even under the conditions of “Confidential Material” designation pursuant to this 28 -3STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER RE: CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL 1 Agreement. As the parties to this litigation are direct competitors in the 2 marketplace, permitting one or more of the parties themselves to review certain 3 financial and business model information may give her/it an advantage to which 4 she/it is not entitled. (Confidential Material and Confidential Material – Attorneys’ 5 Eyes-Only shall be jointly referred to as “Material designated as Confidential and/or 6 Attorneys’ Eyes-Only”.) 7 4. Any Confidential Material or any document or thing containing 8 Confidential Material that a Designating Party wishes to be made subject to this 9 Protective Order shall be marked or labeled as “CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL” or 10 “CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES-ONLY” at the time that it 11 is produced or disclosed to the receiving party. Any CONFIDENTIAL 12 MATERIAL produced prior to this Order may be designated as such upon entry of 13 it. Any copy made of such Confidential Material shall likewise be marked or 14 labeled as “CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL” or as the case may be, 15 “CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES-ONLY” 16 5. Whenever a Deposition involves the disclosure of Confidential 17 Material, the following procedure shall be implemented: 18 (a) At the request of the designating party, the Court Reporter 19 shall mark those pages as including Confidential Material and/or Attorneys’ Eyes20 Only Confidential Material. Such request shall be made on the record whenever 21 possible, but any Party may designate portions of the Transcripts of Depositions as 22 containing Material designated as Confidential and/or Attorneys’ Eyes-Only after 23 transcription, as in the case of any other document or thing, provided that written 24 notice of such designation is given to all other Parties within twenty-one (21) days 25 of receipt of the Transcript. Following such notice, the Parties shall confer as to the 26 most clear and convenient way to segregate the designated portion(s) of the 27 transcript. The Parties shall not disseminate any Deposition Transcript or copy 28 -4STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER RE: CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL 1 thereof beyond the persons identified in Paragraph 7 of this Protective Order for a 2 period of twenty-one (21) days after receipt in order to provide sufficient time for 3 notice of designation(s) of Confidential Material and/or Attorneys’ Eyes-Only 4 Confidential Material. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Deposition Transcripts or 5 portions thereof may, at any time, be filed under seal with the Court and used in 6 accordance with Paragraph 6 of this Protective Order. 7 (b) The cover of any Deposition Transcript that contains 8 Material designated as Confidential and/or Attorneys’ Eyes-Only shall be 9 prominently marked or labeled as “CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION – SUBJECT 10 TO PROTECTIVE ORDER.” All portions of Deposition Transcripts designated as 11 Confidential Material shall be sealed and may be disseminated only to those persons 12 identified in this Protective Order. 13 6. Whenever a filing with the Clerk of the Court and/or submission 14 to the Court involves the disclosure of Material designated as Confidential and/or 15 Attorneys’ Eyes-Only, the Parties will follow the procedures provided in L.R. 79-5. 16 The application to file under seal must demonstrate good cause for the under seal. 17 7. Material designated as Confidential and/or Attorneys’ Eyes-Only 18 shall be maintained in confidence according to the terms of this Protective Order, 19 may be disclosed only as provided in Paragraphs 7 and 8, and shall be used only in 20 connection with the preparation, trial, and appeal of this action. 21 8. Confidential Material may be disclosed to: (a) any current 22 employee of or independent contractor for the designating party which is reasonably 23 necessary for the purpose of litigating this matter and who was involved with the 24 matters to which the Confidential Material relates or refers; (b) any former 25 employee of the designating party who was involved with the matters to which the 26 Confidential Material relates or refers; (c) any person or entity who authored or 27 received the Confidential Material prior to its production or disclosure in this action; 28 -5STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER RE: CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL 1 (d) the Court, its personnel, and the jury in this action; (e) Counsel for the Parties, 2 including their necessary support personnel; (f) persons or entities providing 3 photocopying, imaging, or database services in connection with this action; (g) 4 Court Reporters and Videographers engaged for Depositions, inspections, and other 5 proceedings in this action; (h) persons or entities engaged by a Party or Counsel for 6 a Party to provide jury or trial consulting services, provided that, prior to receiving 7 Confidential Materials, such persons or entities execute an undertaking in the form 8 attached as EXHIBIT A, agreeing to be bound by the terms of this Protective Order; 9 (i) mock jurors or focus group members, provided that, prior to receiving 10 Confidential Materials, such persons execute an undertaking in the form attached as 11 EXHIBIT B, agreeing to be bound by the terms of this Protective Order; and (j) 12 persons or entities engaged by a Party or Counsel for a Party to prepare graphic or 13 visual aids, or demonstrative exhibits, provided that, prior to receiving Confidential 14 Materials, such persons or entities execute an undertaking in the form attached as 15 EXHIBIT A, agreeing to be bound by the terms of this Protective Order. 16 9. “Confidential Material - Attorneys’ Eyes-Only” may be 17 disclosed only to: (a) any person or entity who authored or received the Confidential 18 Material prior to its production or disclosure in this action; (b) the Court, its 19 personnel, and the jury in this action; (c) Counsel for the Parties, including their 20 necessary support personnel; (d) persons or entities providing photocopying, 21 imaging, or database services in connection with this action (other than a party); (e) 22 Court Reporters and Videographers engaged for Depositions, inspections, and other 23 proceedings in this action; (f) persons or entities engaged by a Party or Counsel for a 24 Party to provide jury or trial consulting services, provided that, prior to receiving 25 materials, such persons or entities execute an undertaking in the form attached as 26 EXHIBIT A, agreeing to be bound by the terms of this Protective Order; (g) mock 27 jurors or focus group members, provided that, prior to receiving materials, such 28 -6STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER RE: CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL 1 persons execute an undertaking in the form attached as EXHIBIT B, agreeing to be 2 bound by the terms of this Protective Order; and (h) persons or entities engaged by a 3 Party or Counsel for a Party to prepare graphic or visual aids, or demonstrative 4 exhibits, provided that, prior to receiving materials, such persons or entities execute 5 an undertaking in the form attached as EXHIBIT A, agreeing to be bound by the 6 terms of this Protective Order. 7 In addition to those persons identified in Paragraph 8 and 9, and subject to the 8 following conditions, Material designated as Confidential and/or Attorneys’ Eyes9 Only may be disclosed to experts and other non-party consultants assisting Counsel 10 with preparation, trial, or appeal of this action. Before any disclosure of 11 Confidential Material and/or Attorneys’ Eyes-Only Confidential Material of another 12 Party is made to any expert or non-party consultant pursuant to this provision of the 13 Protective Order, such expert or non-party consultant shall be furnished with a copy 14 of this Protective Order and shall execute a written statement, under oath, in the 15 form attached hereto as EXHIBIT A, acknowledging that the expert or non-party 16 consultant is familiar with the provisions of this Protective Order and agrees to be 17 bound by them. Expert Witnesses and/or consultants shall only be provided access 18 to Materials designated at Confidential and/or Attorneys’ Eyes-Only to the extent 19 reasonably necessary to carry out the purpose for which they were retained. Each 20 written statement to maintain the confidence of designated documents, which is 21 executed in accordance with this Agreement shall be retained by Counsel for the 22 Party engaging the expert or non-party consultant for ninety (90) days after the later 23 of: (a) Settlement and Dismissal of the case; (b) Entry of Final Judgment; or (c) the 24 exhaustion of all appeals in this action. 25 10. The restrictions and limitations set forth in this Protective Order 26 shall not apply to any of the following: 27 (a) any information or material that is available to the public 28 -7STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER RE: CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL 1 at the time of the production or disclosure by the designating party; 2 (b) any information or material that, after disclosure, becomes 3 available to the public through no act, or failure to act, by or on behalf of the 4 receiving party, its Counsel, or its expert(s) or other non-party consultant(s); 5 (c) any information or material that the receiving party, its 6 Counsel, or its expert(s) or consultant(s) can demonstrate: (i) was already known to 7 the receiving party from legitimate sources and was not otherwise agreed to be 8 maintained as confidential; (ii) was independently developed or derived by the 9 receiving party; (iii) was obtained from the producing party without having been 10 designated as Material subject to this Protective Order; or (iv) was produced by a 11 Party in this action, or by a third party, without being designated as Material 12 designated as Confidential and/or Attorneys’ Eyes-Only, provided the Party or third 13 party so producing such information or material had the right to do so. 14 11. In the event of any dispute with respect to the designation of 15 information, including testimony and documents, as Confidential Material and/or 16 Attorneys’ Eyes Only, the Parties shall attempt to resolve the dispute by good faith 17 negotiation. If such negotiations fail to resolve the dispute, any Party wishing to 18 challenge the designation may file a motion for an appropriate order. Any motion 19 must comply with Local Rule 37. The information shall be treated as Material 20 correctly designated as Confidential and/or Attorneys’ Eyes-Only as the case may 21 be, until the issue is resolved by the Court or by agreement of the Parties. If the 22 Court determines that a designation was improper, the party bringing a motion 23 challenging the designation shall be entitled to recover from the designating party its 24 reasonable attorneys’ fees related to such motion. 25 12. No Party shall be obligated to challenge a designation of 26 information as Material designated as Confidential and/or Attorneys’ Eyes-Only 27 within any period of time, and a failure to do so shall not preclude a subsequent 28 -8STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER RE: CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL 1 challenge to such designation. The burden of proof with respect to a designation of 2 Confidential Material and/or Confidential Material - Attorneys’ Eyes-Only shall rest 3 on the designating party, except that the burden of proving any exception set forth in 4 this Protective Order shall rest on the Party asserting the exception. 5 13. If a Party inadvertently discloses any document or thing 6 containing information that it deems Material designated as Confidential and/or 7 Attorneys’ Eyes-Only without designating it as such, the disclosing party shall 8 promptly upon discovery of such inadvertent disclosure inform the receiving party 9 in writing, and the receiving party shall thereafter treat the information as Material 10 designated as Confidential and/or Attorneys’ Eyes-Only, as the case may be, under 11 this Order. To the extent such information may have been disclosed to persons 12 other than persons authorized to receive the designated Material in this Protective 13 Order, the receiving party shall make reasonable efforts to retrieve the information 14 promptly from such persons and to avoid any further disclosure to non-authorized 15 persons. 16 14. Within ninety (90) days after the later of: (a) Settlement and 17 Dismissal of the case; (b) Entry of Final Judgment; or (c) the exhaustion of all 18 appeals in this action, each Party shall return or destroy all Material designated as 19 Confidential and/or Attorneys’ Eyes-Only, and all copies thereof, and shall destroy 20 all documents and things containing information based on Material designated as 21 Confidential and/or Attorneys’ Eyes-Only, with confirmation from the receiving 22 party that the Material was destroyed, except that Counsel for each Party may retain 23 one archival copy of each document and thing designated by any other Party as 24 Confidential Material, and one archival copy of each document and thing containing 25 information based on Confidential Material, for record purposes only for two (2) 26 years, at which time each such document must be destroyed. 27 15.

In addition: 6 (a) The Party or person receiving the subpoena or other 7 process shall promptly notify Counsel of Record for the designating party of the 8 demand for production of the information, and contemporaneously shall provide a 9 copy of the subpoena or other process; 10 (b) The Party or person receiving the subpoena or other 11 process shall make an appropriate objection to production of the Material 12 designated as Confidential and/or Attorneys’ Eyes-Only on grounds that production 13 is precluded by this Protective Order; and 14 (c) At its sole discretion and expense, the designating party 15 may move against the subpoena or other process, or may otherwise oppose entry of 16 an order by a court of competent jurisdiction compelling production of such 17 Material. If the designating party fails to move against the subpoena or other 18 process within ten (10) days after receiving notice of the subpoena or other process 19 in accordance with Paragraph 14(a) of this Protective Order, then the Party or person 20 receiving the subpoena or other process may produce the information without 21 violating this Protective Order. 22 16. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Parties or ordered 23 by the court, all proceedings involving or relating to any Confidential Material shall 24 be subject to the provisions of this Protective Order. Nothing in this Protective 25 Order shall be deemed to preclude any Party from seeking and obtaining, on an 26 appropriate showing, additional protection with respect to the confidentiality of 27 documents or other discovery materials, or relief from this Protective Order with 28 -10STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER RE: CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL 1 respect to particular materials designated hereunder. 2 17.

In 13 rendering such advice, and otherwise communicating with his or her client, the 14 attorney shall not disclose the specific contents of any Material designated as 15 Confidential and/or Attorneys’ Eyes-Only, which is produced by another Party or 16 non-party, unless such disclosure of the specific contents of the information is 17 authorized under the terms of this Protective Order. 18 20. Each of the Parties to this action, and its Counsel of record and 19 other legal representatives, agrees to abide by and be bound by the provisions of this 20 Protective Order, and to use due care to see that its provisions are known by, and 21 adhered to, by its support staff and others under its supervision or control. 22 23 // 24 // 25 // 26 // 27 28 -11STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER RE: CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL 1 21.
