The parties also agree that certain "trade secrets, know how, or proprietary technical data," as
well as certain business, financial, or commercial information, may be designated as “Ontside
Counsels’ Eyes Only" and would thereby not be accessible by the opposing side’s in~house
counsel designated under the protective order. (Id) Hcweveri, the parties disagree on whether a
