`
`
`5

`
`

`

`(i)
`
`A party may file documents or information with the Board
`
`under seal, together with a non-confidential description of the
`
`nature of the confidential information that is under seal and the
`
`reasons why the information is confidential and should not be
`
`made available to the public. The submission shall be treated as
`
`confidential and remain under seal, unless, upon motion of a
`
`party and after a hearing on the issue, or sua sponte, the Board
`
`determines that the documents or information do not to qualify

`for confidential treatment.
`
`(ii)

`file confidential and non-confidential versions of its
`
`submission, together with a Motion to Seal the confidential
`
`version setting forth the reasons why the information redacted
`
`from the non-confidential version is confidential and should not
`
`be made available to the public. The nonconfidential version of
`
`the submission shall clearly indicate the locations of
`
`information that has been redacted. The confidential version of
`
`the submission shall be filed under seal. The redacted
`
`information shall remain under seal unless, upon motion of a
`
`
`
`
`6
`
`
`
`

`

`party and after a hearing on the issue, or sua sponte, the Board
`
`determines that some or all of the redacted information does not
`
`qualify for confidential treatment.
`
`(B) Documents and Information Exchanged Among the Parties. Information
`
`designated as confidential that is disclosed to another party during
`
`discovery or other proceedings before the Board shall be clearly marked
`
`as “PROTECTIVE ORDER MATERIAL” or “PROTECTIVE ORDER
`
`MATERIAL – SOURCE CODE” and shall be produced in a manner that
`
`maintains its confidentiality.
`
`6. Objections to Designations. If during the pendency of this Proceeding any
`
`party claims that information is not appropriately designated (the “Objecting
`
`Party”), the Objecting Party may serve notice of objection on the Designating
`
`Party. Within ten (10) calendar days of receiving such notice, the Designating
`
`Party shall respond in writing. If the Designating Party and the Objecting Party
`
`cannot resolve the dispute, the Objecting Party may move for an order from the
`
`Board for re-designation of the disputed material. If the Objecting Party moves
`
`for an order from the Board for re-designation, the Designating Party shall bear
`
`the burden to establish that the original designation complies with the
`
`guidelines and limitations described in this Order. Until or unless the parties
`
`formally agree in writing to the re-designation of such material, or until such
`
`
`
`
`7
`
`
`
`

`

`time as the material is re-designated by order of the Board, all Designated
`
`Materials will continue to receive confidential treatment pursuant to the terms
`
`of this Protective Order in accordance with the designation chosen by the
`
`Designating Party.
`
`7. Final Disposition of Designated Material. Within sixty (60) days following
`
`termination of this Proceeding by settlement or final decision, including
`
`exhaustion of all appeals, the originals and all copies of “PROTECTIVE
`
`ORDER MATERIAL – SOURCE CODE” (other than those maintained
`
`confidentially by the Office) shall be either destroyed or turned over to the
`
`producing party, or to its counsel. If material is destroyed pursuant to this
`
`paragraph, counsel shall provide to opposing counsel a certification identifying
`
`when and how the destruction was performed. Notwithstanding this paragraph,
`
`outside counsel of record may retain pleadings, attorney and consultant work
`
`product, and depositions (with exhibits) for archival purposes.
`
`8. The parties acknowledge that the provisions of this Protective Order may not be
`
`appropriate for other proceedings before the Board or before other tribunals and
`
`do not apply in the absence of a further agreement by the parties or an order of
`
`the Board or other tribunal.
