Samsung makes the following general responses and objections (“General Objections”) to
each deposition topic listed in Apple’s notice of deposition. These General Objections are hereby
incorporated into each specific response. The assertion of the same, similar, or additional
objections or partial responses to the individual deposition topics does not waive any of
Samsung’s General Objections. Samsung reserves its right to object to any questions asked of any
deponent during a deposition.
1.
Samsung objects to the designation of Morrison & Foerster LLP’s San Francisco,
California, offices as the location for the deposition and to the deposition as “continu[ing] day-today until completed.” Samsung will confer with Apple on mutually-agreeable date(s), location(s),
and times for the deposition.
2.
Samsung objects to the “Definitions” contained in Apple’s Notice of Rule 30(B)(6)
Deposition of Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. Relating to Apple’s Motion for a Preliminary
Injunction to the extent they are inconsistent with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
3.
Samsung objects to Apple’s Definition of “Samsung,” “You,” “Your,” and
“Defendants” as overly broad to the extent it requires Samsung to pursue information from
individuals no longer employed by Samsung whose data is not currently in the possession of
Samsung. Samsung further objects to Apple’s Definition of “Samsung,” “You,” “Your,” and
“Defendants” as overly broad, vague, and ambiguous to the extent it does not define “affiliates,”
and also to the extent that it requires Samsung to potentially seek information from thousands of
people. Samsung will respond to interrogatories based on a reasonable inquiry of individuals
expected to possess the requested information.
4.
Samsung objects to Apple‘s definition of “Products at Issue” as overly broad and
Case No. 11-cv-01846-LHK
-1SAMSUNG’S OBJ. TO APPLE’S NOTICE OF RULE 30(B)(6) DEPOSITION
1 neither relevant nor reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence, insofar
2 as it seeks information about these products “as released anywhere in the world” and is not
3 limited to products sold in the United States.
4
5.
Samsung objects to Apple’s definition of “Hardware Design” as overly broad,
5 vague, and ambiguous insofar as it includes “all hardware, insignia or ornamentation thereon.”
6
6.
Samsung objects to Apple’s definition of “Relating,” and each and every
7 interrogatory that uses the term “Relating,” as overly broad, vague and ambiguous.
8
7.
Samsung further objects to this notice as improperly delayed. Apple has known
9 about the Court’s discovery schedule relating to Apple’s motion for a preliminary injunction since
10 July 18, 2011. While Apple had the opportunity to serve this notice at an earlier time, it waited
11 until the last possible date under the Court’s Order to serve this deposition notice, along with
12 interrogatories and over 60 additional document requests. This notice seeks information that
13 Apple could have requested at a much earlier date. None of the topics below are dependent on
14 any arguments raised in Samsung’s Opposition to Apple’s preliminary injunction. Therefore,
15 Samsung objects to Apple’s bad faith in delaying service of this deposition notice.
16
Subject to the foregoing qualifications and General Objections and the specific objections
17 made below, Samsung objects and responds to Apple’s Notice of Rule 30(b)(6) Deposition of
18 Samsung Relating to Apple’s Motion for a Preliminary Injunction as follows:
