The Court is in receipt of the parties’ joint discovery dispute letter, filed July 30, 2014.

United States District Court
Northern District of California

11

Dkt. No. 109. The dispute concerns Oracle’s objections to 39 of Thought Inc.’s 87 requests for

12

production of documents and 4 of Thought’s 18 interrogatories. Upon review of the parties’

13

positions, the Court finds that Thought’s requests appear to be overbroad and Oracle would be

14

unduly burdened if required to produce all documents in response. However, the parties do not

15

address specific requests and have not provided the requests for the Court’s review. Further,

16

based on the parties’ attestation, it appears that Oracle is willing to meet and confer on the full

17

scope of Thought’s requests as they relate to Thought’s list of accused products. Accordingly, the

18

Court hereby ORDERS the parties to further meet and confer in person to determine if they are

19

able to narrow the scope of Thought’s requests and agree upon a more limited production.

20

Thought is advised that the Court is unlikely to require further production if its requests remain

21

overbroad, such as requiring source code for Oracle’s application and database products where

22

Oracle has produced other documents and source code that provide the necessary information for

23

its case.

24

IT IS SO ORDERED.
