Rich—
We have decided to postpone the filing of this motion to allow some more time to try to resolve the issue of the HTC
license. We propose to file our motion tomorrow by noon and propose that Apple will have an additional day to file its
opposition. As a result, Apple’s opposition would be due by November 20, 2012. Please let me know if Apple agrees to
this schedule. Please also let me know when Apple expects to hear back from HTC.
Regards,
Rob

Rich,
We would be willing to agree to accommodate Apple’s request to file its opposition on November 19 and to forego a
reply brief provided that Apple agrees that Samsung can file its moving papers by noon tomorrow--November 15, 2012.
Please get back to me by 3 p.m. regarding this proposal.
Also, please confirm that Apple is not willing to produce the backup material for paragraph 29 of Dr. Hauser’s reply
declaration. And please let us know as soon as you hear back from HTC.

Thanks for your patience. To respond with Apple’s position:
Samsung’s requests for further discovery and briefing are improper. The record for Apple’s permanent injunction
motion is closed. Moreover, the Court previously set the briefing limits and denied Apple’s request (to which Samsung
objected) to enlarge them. Samsung thus is not entitled to a sur-reply.
As a courtesy, Apple will provide the backup materials to Exhibit E to Dr. Hauser’s reply declaration. Apple continues to
consider Samsung’s request for the HTC agreement, but notes that it will need to seek HTC’s consent to produce the
agreement. As for additional deposition time, Apple does not agree to this request.
In terms of a briefing schedule, please confirm that Samsung will not file a reply. We agree to the schedule, except that
we propose Monday, November 19 for our opposition instead.

Rich,
Given the need to have the issues raised in my email resolved far in advance of the upcoming December 6
hearing, we will propose the following briefing schedule to the Court so a motion to compel can be heard on
shortened time:
Samsung’s opening brief: November 14
Apple’s opposition brief: November 16
No hearing/submission on the papers
Please confirm whether Apple agrees to this schedule. And, of course, please let me know if Apple is willing to
agree to any of Samsung’s requests.
Regards,
Rob

Subject: Motion for Injunction
Dear Rich:
Apple’s Reply in Support of its Motion for Permanent Injunction and for Damages Enhancements relies on declarations
from three of its experts that raise new issues Samsung has not had the opportunity to test. Dr. Singh’s declaration
raises an entirely new theory of infringement of the ‘915 patent to support its claim that Samsung’s design-around
continues to infringe. Dr. Hauser, whose declaration Apple chose not to submit with its moving papers, has now
submitted what amounts to a 19-page supplemental report addressing his conjoint study. And Marylee Robinson has
supplemented her prior declaration with numerous additional opinions and entirely new calculations that Samsung
would have questioned her on during her recent deposition had they been disclosed in a timely manner.
Accordingly, consistent with the rationale behind the Court’s recent ruling granting Apple’s request for post-trial
depositions, Samsung requests an opportunity to depose each of these witnesses, limited to 3 hours, and to submit a
supplemental opposition not to exceed 5 pages addressing their supplemental testimony and its impact on the issues
raised in the parties’ briefs.
In addition, Samsung requests the backup material for Exhibit E to Dr. Hauser’s reply declaration and paragraph 29 of Dr.
Hauser’s reply declaration. Because Exhibit E and paragraph 29 reflect new work performed by Dr. Hauser, Samsung is
entitled to receive the supporting materials.
Finally, we request that Apple produce its recent license with HTC, which likely covers at least the ‘381 and ‘915 patents
at issue in this case based on the fact that these two patents were at issue between Apple and HTC. As you know, the
issue of Apple’s willingness to license its patents was briefed in Samsung’s Opposition to Apple’s Motion for Permanent
Injunction. This license has direct bearing on the question of irreparable harm and whether monetary remedies are
adequate. The HTC license bears directly on Apple’s assertion in its reply brief that “Apple considers these patents
‘unique to its user experience’ and unavailable for licensing, particularly to competitors.” Reply at 7:21-22.
Please let me know by close of business today whether Apple will consent to these requests, as Samsung will otherwise
bring a motion to compel.
