1Opinion of the Court
TANG, Circuit Judge:
Brown Bag Software (“Brown Bag”) sued Symantec Corp. (“Symantec”) and John L. Friend for infringement of Brown Bag’s registered copyright in a computer program for outlining. The district court entered a protective order restricting the access of Brown Bag’s in-house counsel to confidential trade information produced during discovery. The district court subsequently granted Symantec’s and Friend’s motions for summary judgment. Brown Bag appeals the protective order and the grant of summary judgment. We affirm-in-part, vacate-in-part and remand.
