UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF VIRGINIA NORFOLK DIVISION __________________________________________ ) ) ) Plaintiff, ) v. ) ) AOL, INC. et al., ) ) Defendants. ) __________________________________________) I/P ENGINE, INC., Civ. Action No. 2:11-cv-512 PLAINTIFF I/P ENGINE’S MOTION TO COMPEL DEFENDANT GOOGLE INC.’S CUSTODIAL DOCUMENT PRODUCTION Plaintiff I/P Engine, Inc. (“I/P Engine”) moves to compel Google to produce its custodial document production responsive to I/P Engine’s pending discovery requests. More than six months ago, on November 7, 2011, I/P Engine, Inc. (“I/P Engine”) served on its initial document requests upon Defendant Google Inc. (“Google”). Those document requests were served pursuant to a stipulated agreement between the parties, whereby I/P Engine agreed to early disclosure of its infringement contentions, and Defendants agreed to engage in early document discovery. I/P Engine kept its part of the agreement. Six months later, however, Google has not produced a single custodial document, even though it acknowledges that it has collected those documents. I/P Engine repeatedly has been requesting Google for these documents, but without success. On April 9, 2012, Google for the first time identified a target date for the production of those documents: June 15, 2012 – more than eight months after DSMDB-3048587 service of I/P Engine’s document requests, and only a month before I/P Engine’s expert reports are due. For the reasons set forth in the accompanying Memorandum of Law, I/P Engine asks this Court to compel Google to produce all relevant, non-privileged documents relating to I/P Engine’s pending document requests including its custodial documents by no later than April 30, 2012.
