`
`
`
`
`Civil Action No. 19-2225-RGA
`
`
`
`ORDER
`
`
`
`
`
`I have reviewed the parties’ letters concerning protective order disputes. (D.I. 44, 45).
`
`On the first dispute, relating to ¶30(a), access by non-attorneys to confidential
`
`information, I agree with Analog. I note that in support of their respective positions, Analog
`
`submits prior decisions by other judges of this Court in contested matters, and Xilinx submits
`
`agreed-upon orders that I signed. The former carry weight; the latter do not.
`
`
`
`On the second dispute, relating to ¶40, in terms of the number of continuous pages
`
`presumption, I agree with Analog. I note that the Analog proposal is only a presumption, and
`
`thus it is an issue that the parties may need to revisit in particular instances. In terms of the total
`
`number of pages, where Analog has accused two products and Xilinx has accused forty-one
`
`products, I do not see how Analog’s proposal makes sense. If Analog needs 400 printed pages to
`
`prove infringement by two products, how is 400 pages going to be enough for Xilinx? Analog
`
`does not say. I will take each side’s argument as to what they need at face value. Analog is
`
`permitted 200 pages per accused product. Xilinx is permitted 100 pages per accused product.

`
`
`Case 1:19-cv-02225-RGA Document 48 Filed 04/06/20 Page 2 of 2 PageID #: 2274
`
`
`
`The parties should submit a revised proposal consistent with these decisions, and I will
`
`sign it.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`IT IS SO ORDERED this 6th day of April 2020.
