WI-LAN v Netflix
ORAL ORDER: Having reviewed the parties' letters (D.I. 26, 27), IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Defendant's request that the protective order in this case include an "acquisition bar" is DENIED. Under the circumstances, the agreed-upon prohibition against use of "Protected Material" in "patent... acquisition" is sufficient protection for Defendant. The attenuated risks identified by Defendant do not justify imposition of a bar that could severely harm Plaintiff's counsel (and, therefore, Plaintiffs). (See D.I. 27 Ex. B at 5-6, Ex. C at 54, Ex. D at D.I. 35, Ex. E at 9, Ex. F at 4-8, Ex. G at 46-49) The teleconference scheduled for December 18 is CANCELLED. ORDERED by Judge Leonard P. Stark on 12/16/14
