CALCAR' S MOTION TO COMPEL, AND {2} CROSS-MOTION FOR PROTECTIVE ORDER Date: May 23, 2008 Time: 2:00 pm Crtrm.: 15

1

I, Adam Barea, declare as follows: 1. I am a member of the bar of the State of New York, and a " Registered In

z 3

House Counsel" attorney with the bar of the State of California. I am employed as in-house

4 counsel for third party Google Inc. {"Google"). I make this declaration of my personal and 5 ^' firsthand knowledge and, if called and sworn as a witness, I could and would testify competently 6 (thereto. 7 8
2. I submit this declaration to provide the court with information and exhibits

cited in (1) Google's Opposition to PIaintiff Calcar, Int.'s Notice of Motion and Motion to

9 Compel Rule 30(b)(6) Deposition Testimony, and {2) Google's Notice of Motion and Motion for 10 I Protective Order.
11 12 13 14 15 16 17 3. Google is a technology company based in Mountain View, California.

Google.org is the philanthropic arm of Google Inc., and offers grants and other support to organizations acting in the public interest. 4. In 2007, Google. org issued a charitable grant to The California Cars

Initiative ("TCCI"), anon-profit organization that promotes hybrid technology. 5. On March 18, 2008, Calcar, Inc. {"Calcar"), the plaintiff in a trademark

infringement action it brought against TCCI {to which Google is not a party), served Google with

18 f two subpoenas for documents and deposition testimony, pursuant to Federal Rules of Civil

19 I Procedure 45 and 30{b){6). The deposition subpoena called for a deposition on April 7, 2008.
201 The document subpoena called for the production of certain documents on April 7, 2008. True

21 I ^ and correct copies of those two subpoenas are attached hereto as Exhibits A and B, respectively.
22 23 6. Google subsequently engaged in several meet-and-confer efforts with

Calcar in regarding both subpoenas. On April 4, 2008, Google legal assistant Suzanne Abbott

24 ^ informed Calcar that it would consider producing documents responsive to the subpoena for 25 ^ documents, but that it did not believe a deposition of Google was warranted or necessary. Later 26 27 28
51320/2483670 . 35E320 83670.2

that same day, Ms. Abbott faxed Google's written objections to the deposition subpoena to Plaintiff's counsel Warren Bleeker. A true and correct copy of Google's written objections are attached hereto as Exhibit C. -2DECT,ARATION OF ADAM BAREA Case No. 3:08-mc - 80083 MHP

1

7.

Also on Apri14, 2008, Google received a facsimile from Mr. Bleeker

2 f indicating that, based on Google's telephonic representation that it would not produce a witness 3 4 5 6 7 for the deposition, Mr. Bleeker would not travel to San Francisco, California, for the deposition. $. On Apri19, 2008, I spoke with Mr. Bleeker . I confirmed that Google would

produce documents responsive to the document subpoena. I also stated Google's belief that the documents themselves would be sufficient to provide Calcar with the information it sought, and would demonstrate that no deposition would be necessary, given Goagle's lack of involvement in

8 the subject matter of the underlying lawsuit. Accordingly, I asked that the issue of the deposition
9 be deferred until Caicar had the opportunity to review the documents. 9. Google produced documents responsive to the document subpoena on April

10

II f 11, 200&. Google supplemented its production with two additional responsive documents on April
12 28, 2008. The entire production is 47 pages, and consists of TCCI's grant proposal (dated

13 February 25, 2007}, the Grant Agreement (dated March 23, 2007}, the grant letter from
14 15 Google.org (dated Apri123, 2007}, a status report from TCCI {dated February 15, 2008), an affidavit of Felix Kramer regarding the grant (dated February 21, 2008), and a handful of assorted

16 emails. 1 71

8367D,2 ^^

10.

I am informed and it is my understanding that several of the documents

Google produced to Calcar had already been produced by defendant TCCI earlier in this action. I am further informed that the Plaintiff CaIcar has already deposed defendant Felix Kramer and obtained testimony from Kramer concerning the Google.org grant agreement and the relationship and interactions between Google and TCCI. 11. Despite Google's document production on April 11, Calcar continued to

press for a deposition under Rule 30{b}{6}. In subsequent meet-and-confer efforts, on April 17, 2008, Mr. Bleeker indicated that Google need not file a motion for protective order because Calcar intended to move to compel the deposition anyway. When I asked Mr. Bleeker what information he thought Google possessed that would be in any way relevant to Calcar's trademark infringement action, Mr. Bleeker was unable to identify anything specific. 12. TCCI does not buy advertising from Google or sell advertising to Google.

13.

TCCI does not participate in any of Google's advertising programs (such as

14.

Gaoglc is not involved in TCCI's business or xn.arketing practices. Google .

is not a customer of TCCI,

I declare under penalty of perjury under the.laws of the United States of America that the foregoing is true and correct. Executed this l day of California. , 200$ at Mountain View,
