The following 22 Protective Order is entered, as modified by the Court (see paragraphs VI.A, XII.A, 23 XII.C). 24 25 PROTECTIVE ORDER The Court recognizes that at least some of the documents and information 26 ("materials") being sought through discovery in the above-captioned action are, for 27 competitive reasons, normally kept confidential by the parties. The parties have agreed to 28 be bound by the terms of this Protective Order (“Order”) in this action. 1 22cv461-LL (NLS) Dockets.Justia.com Case 3:22-cv-00461-LL-NLS Document 17 Filed 12/16/22 PageID.172 Page 2 of 15 1 The materials to be exchanged throughout the course of the litigation between the 2 parties may contain trade secret or other confidential research, technical, cost, price, 3 marketing or other commercial information, as is contemplated by Federal Rule of Civil 4 Procedure 26(c)(1)(G). The purpose of this Order is to protect the confidentiality of such 5 materials as much as practical during the litigation. 6 I. GOOD CAUSE STATEMENT 7 A. 8 other valuable research, development, commercial, financial, technical and/or 9 proprietary information for which special protection from public disclosure and This action is likely to involve trade secrets, customer and pricing lists and 10 from use for any purpose other than prosecution of this action is warranted. Such 11 confidential and proprietary materials and information consist of, among other 12 things, confidential business or financial information, information regarding 13 confidential business practices, or other confidential research, development, or 14 commercial information (including information implicating privacy rights of third 15 parties), information otherwise generally unavailable to the public, or which may 16 be privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure under state or federal statutes, 17 court rules, case decisions, or common law. Accordingly, to expedite the flow of 18 information, to facilitate the prompt resolution of disputes over confidentiality of 19 discovery materials, to adequately protect information the parties are entitled to 20 keep confidential, to ensure that the parties are permitted reasonable necessary uses 21 of such material in preparation for and in the conduct of trial, to address their 22 handling at the end of the litigation, and serve the ends of justice, a protective order 23 for such information is justified in this matter. It is the intent of the parties that 24 information will not be designated as confidential for tactical reasons and that 25 nothing be so designated without a good faith belief that it has been maintained in 26 a confidential, non-public manner, and there is good cause why it should not be 27 part of the public record of this case. 28 // 2 22cv461-LL (NLS) Case 3:22-cv-00461-LL-NLS Document 17 Filed 12/16/22 PageID.173 Page 3 of 15 1 II.
