UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA OAKLAND DIVISION ORACLE USA, INC., et al., Plaintiffs, v. SAP AG, et al., Defendants. Case No. 07-CV-1658 PJH (EDL) DEFENDANTS' RESPONSE TO PLAINTIFFS' FIFTH SET OF REQUESTS FOR ADMISSION TO DEFENDANTS TOMORROWNOW, INC., SAP AG, AND SAP AMERICA, INC. CONFIDENTIAL PURSUANT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER DEFENDANTS' RESP. TO PLAINTIFFS' 5th SET OF REQUESTS FOR ADMISSION Case No. 07-CV-1658 PJH (EDL) 1 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 REQUEST NO. 1: TEXT REMOVED - NOT RELEVANT TO MOTION REQUESTS FOR ADMISSION Admit that Defendants know of no technical way to determine which Customer's Customer Connection credentials were used to download any given Software and Support Material on SAP TN's systems.1 RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 1: Defendants object to this request on the grounds stated in the General Objections and Responses. Defendants further object to this request as vague and ambiguous due to the phrases "technical way" and "SAP TN's systems." Moreover, Defendants object that the request is unduly burdensome and improperly attempts to shift the burden to Defendants to evaluate each and every file on TomorrowNow's systems where the effort associated with responding to this request is substantially similar for the parties, especially because the available documents, data and other information sought from which the answer, if any, could be derived in response to this request have been produced by Defendants in response to Plaintiffs' other discovery requests and thus any relevant, available information is now as equally accessible to Plaintiffs as it is to Defendants. Defendants object that this request calls for information within the control, custody, or possession of Plaintiffs. Subject to, and without waiving the foregoing objections, Defendants respond as follows: ADMITTED on the following qualified basis: Defendants ADMIT that Defendants have always acknowledged that there is no known technical way to specifically tie a downloaded item on TomorrowNow's systems to a Customer Connection ID and password. As far as Defendants have been able to determine, the downloaded files neither contain any physical electronic tagging in the file itself, nor any file-based metadata associated with each file that provides both the exact username and password that was used to download each file. It was TomorrowNow's policy to See, e.g., Defendants' Opposition to Plaintiffs' Motion to Compel Production of documents Related to Damages Model and Interrogatory Responses Related to Use of Plaintiffs' Intellectual Property, July 14, 2009, Dkt. 334, p. 7, fn. 9 7 DEFENDANTS' RESP.
