Re:
Apple Inc. v. Samsung Elecs. Co., Case No. 11-cv-1846 LHK
Dear Mia:
I write in response to your letter dated December 28, 2011 concerning production of additional
sketchbooks, CAD, and physical models.
Apple has no basis for requesting documents relating to unaccused products. Samsung, unlike
Apple, has been manufacturing "phone products" for nearly thirty years. Yet Apple has not
limited its requested to any reasonable time period. Moreover, Apple has not even limited its
request to mobile phones, much less smartphones—although even this request would be
overbroad. As stated, Apple's requests seek CAD files, sketchbooks and physical models
relating to hundreds, if not thousands, of products that have absolutely nothing to do with
Apple's asserted intellectual property or the Samsung accused products—e.g., car phones from
1983, cordless home phones from 1992, and flip phones from 1998. Even if such documents and
things were relevant (and of course they are not) the burden imposed on Samsung would be
oppressive.
Samsung raised these precise concerns during the last meet and confer call. Apple made no
attempt to address them during the call, and thus it is no surprise that you make no attempt to

address them in your letter. Instead of meeting and conferring in good faith as to the scope and
relevance of Apple's requests, your letter continues Apple's demonstrated strategy of merely
repeating its requests, demanding immediate production, and threatening motion practice. We
remain available to discuss ways to narrow these requests down to something relevant to this
case, if you are so inclined.
Very truly yours,
