TO COMPEL CASE NO. 11-CV-01846-LHK (PSG) sf-3093397 ii 1 2 I. INTRODUCTION Samsung lacks any legitimate reason for moving to compel. Every one of Samsung’s 3 requests is either: (1) moot because Apple has already produced the requested documents or will 4 produce the requested documents by a specific date; or (2) unreasonably broad because Samsung 5 requests “all” documents—even those that bear no relationship to Samsung’s claims or defenses. 6 Samsung’s motion is an attempt to disguise its own failures to produce responsive 7 documents and lack of compliance with this Court’s orders. Samsung has long refused to respond 8 to Apple’s requests for documents, ultimately offering inadequate last-minute compromises the 9 day before Apple moved to compel. 10 By contrast, Apple fully set forth its positions, in writing, a full week before Samsung 11 filed its motion. (See Declaration of Jason R. Bartlett in Support of Apple’s Opposition to 12 Samsung’s Motion to Enforce Various Court Orders filed herewith (“Bartlett Decl. ISO Opp. to 13 Motion to Enforce”) Ex. B.)1 In its letter, Apple explained that it had produced or committed to 14 producing by a specific date much of the documents and things Samsung now requests. (See id.) 15 These documents and things come on top of the millions of pages of documents and thousands of 16 models, prototypes, source code, CAD files, and other native-format data Apple already 17 produced. (Declaration of Jason R. Bartlett in Support of Apple’s Opposition to Samsung’s 18 Motion to Compel (“Bartlett Decl. ISO Opp. to Motion to Compel”) ¶ 2.) Despite Apple’s 19 willingness to produce documents by a specific date or compromise where Samsung’s requests 20 were overly broad, Samsung has ignored or rejected Apple’s offers and never explained why they 21 are inadequate. (Id. ¶ 3.) Samsung’s motion to compel should be denied. 22 23 24 25 26 27 1 In the interest of avoiding filing redundant paper and to avoid attaching identical exhibits to multiple declarations, Apple refers herein to certain exhibits attached to the Bartlett Decl. ISO Opp. to Motion to Enforce. 28 APPLE’S OPPOSITION TO SAMSUNG’S MOT. TO COMPEL CASE NO. 11-CV-01846-LHK (PSG) sf-3093397 1 1 2 II. ARGUMENT A. “All” Source Code and Technical Documents Showing Operation of Allegedly Infringing Product Features 3 1. Samsung’s Motion to Compel Production of Source Code is Moot 4 5 Samsung’s assertion that Apple has refused to produce source code relating to the accused 6 features in Apple’s accused products is false. In fact, Apple has produced its source code 7 showing the operation of the accused features as required by Patent Local Rule 3-4(a), and 8 Samsung has inspected it. On October 7, 2011, in its Invalidity Contentions, Apple stated that 9 “upon entry of an appropriate protective order … and upon receiving the consent of any necessary 10 non-parties, Apple will make available the source code in its possession sufficient to show the 11 operation of the accused functionality.” On December 6, having received a request for inspection 12 of source code from Samsung two business days earlier on December 2, Apple informed 13 Samsung that it was “currently prepared to produce” source code relevant to various accused 14 features in the accused products. For avoidance of doubt, Apple identified the specific categories 15 of source code that it had available for Samsung’s review. (See the Declaration of Samuel J. 16 Maselli In Support of Apple Inc.’s Opposition to Samsung’s Motion to Compel Discovery 17 (“Maselli Decl.”) Ex. A.) These categories consisted of: 18 Portions of the Photos app, Photo Bucket app, and Camera app source code 19 that relate to capturing images, displaying images, and attaching images to 20 e-mail; 21 Portions of the iPod and Music app source code that relate to playing 22 music; 23 Portions of the Clock app source code that relate to a world clock and time 24 information; 25 Portions of the Messages app source code that relate to display of incoming 26 and outgoing messages; and 27 Portions of Apple’s source code relating to display of the app multitasking 28 bar shown when a user double-clicks the Home button. APPLE’S OPPOSITION TO SAMSUNG’S MOT. TO COMPEL CASE NO. 11-CV-01846-LHK (PSG) sf-3093397 2 1 This code relates to the features accused of infringing the Samsung '055, '460, '711, '871, and '897 2 patents—in other words, all the “implementation” (i.e., not declared standards essential) patents 3 asserted by Samsung. This code is “home grown” by Apple, unlike the code relating to the 4 accused features for the other seven declared-essential patents, which is not developed by Apple 5 but rather is owned and supplied by Intel. 6 Despite Apple’s invitation on December 6, Samsung chose not to inspect Apple’s source 7 code until January 6, 2012—the day after the in-person meet and confer that preceded Samsung’s 8 filing of this motion.2 Samsung could have inspected this same Apple source code on any of the 9 20 business days between December 6 and January 6. Moreover, in the four days between 10 Samsung’s source code inspection on January 6 and the filing of Samsung’s motion to compel on 11 January 10, Samsung did not advise Apple of any alleged deficiencies in the code that Apple had 12 made available and that Samsung had inspected. Samsung’s motion to compel likewise does not 13 identify any alleged deficiencies in the content or the scope of the source code inspected by 14 Samsung. 15 With respect to the source code for the baseband processor chips incorporated in the 16 accused products, Samsung fails to mention that these components are supplied by a non-party 17 vendor, Intel. The source code for these components is confidential information owned by Intel. 18 As Apple informed Samsung before it filed this motion, Intel only provides Apple with some of 19 the source code for these chips. Nonetheless, three days before Samsung filed its motion, Apple 20 advised Samsung that it would “review the Intel baseband code in Apple’s possession to identify 21 code we believe may be relevant to the accused functionalities, and (subject to obtaining Intel’s 22 consent) will make any relevant code available for your inspection” by January 16. (Maselli 23 Decl. Ex. D.) Thus, Apple did not take the “factually impossible” position that it does not have 24 2 25 26 27 Instead, on January 2, Samsung accused Apple of withholding source code. (See Maselli Decl. Ex. B.) In response, the very next day, Apple reaffirmed—two days before the lead counsel in-person meet and confer and eight days before Samsung filed its motion to compel— that it was “currently prepared” to produce relevant source code in its possession, as identified in Apple’s December 6 letter, and advised Samsung that it “may begin its inspection at any time.” (See Maselli Decl. Ex. C.) 28 APPLE’S OPPOSITION TO SAMSUNG’S MOT. TO COMPEL CASE NO. 11-CV-01846-LHK (PSG) sf-3093397 3 1 any baseband source code, but has instead informed Samsung that it does not have certain kinds 2 of source code (e.g., Hardware Design Language (HDL) source code) in its possession, but would 3 be willing to produce any relevant Intel source code in its possession subject to Intel’s consent. 4 (Id.) 5 Since the filing of Samsung’s motion, Intel has advised Samsung that it does not consent 6 to Apple’s production of Intel’s source code, but would instead produce the relevant source code 7 itself. (See Maselli Decl. Ex. E.) We understand that Samsung and Intel have been in 8 communication since at least December 22, 2011 about the production of Intel’s baseband source 9 code for Apple’s accused products. (See Maselli Decl. ¶ 3.) These discussions were still ongoing 10 when Samsung filed its motion. In fact, Intel informed Samsung on January 9—two days before 11 Samsung filed its motion to compel—that it would produce the requested source code once its 12 protective order concerns are addressed. (See Maselli Decl. Ex. E.) 13 On January 13, Intel reiterated to Samsung that “subject to the entry of an adequate 14 protective order, Intel intends to produce HDL and source code sufficient to show the accused 15 functionality of the relevant chips with respect to the seven declared-essential patents in suit.” 16 (See id. (emphasis added).) Intel also stated that it “has not given Apple consent to produce” Intel 17 source code because (1) “the proposed protective order is inadequate” and (2) “Samsung has no 18 need for Apple to produce such source code” because “any confidential Intel source code in 19 Apple’s possession will either be (a) cumulative of the source code that Intel will be producing or 20 (b) irrelevant.” (Id.) Accordingly, this motion is moot (and indeed should never have been 21 brought) because Samsung will be able to obtain all relevant Intel source code in Apple’s 22 possession and more from Intel. 23 2. 24 25 Samsung’s Motion to Compel Production of Technical Documents is Similarly Unnecessary In addition to making available source code, with its patent local rule disclosures, Apple 26 produced detailed schematics, schematic board diagrams, and programming guides for the 27 accused Apple products. These documents show circuit schematics, pin layouts, and 28 subcomponents of the accused products, and include a comprehensive guide on programming in APPLE’S OPPOSITION TO SAMSUNG’S MOT. TO COMPEL CASE NO. 11-CV-01846-LHK (PSG) sf-3093397 4 1 iOS. Apple’s production of technical documents related to the accused Apple products has 2 continued both in this action and a related action between the parties—to date, Apple’s total 3 production across both United States cases includes over four million pages of documents 4 relevant to this action from the files of Apple engineers whose work relates to the accused Apple 5 3 products. (See Maselli Decl. ¶ 4.) These materials include additional schematics, bills of 6 material, specifications, testing data, certification documentation, project build status information 7 and data, and email correspondence concerning accused product technical issues. Samsung’s 8 suggestion that Apple is continuing to “defy” its production obligations under the Patent Local 9 Rules thus rings hollow. Indeed, Samsung offers no specific explanation for why or how the vast 10 number of technical documents produced by Apple to date are insufficient to show the operation 11 of the accused functionalities. Nor does Samsung’s motion identify any category of technical 12 documents, other than baseband processor related documents, that are allegedly “missing” from 13 Apple’s production. 14 With respect to technical documents relating to the Intel baseband processor chips used in 15 the accused Apple products, Apple received Intel’s consent on January 11 to produce those Intel 16 documents that Apple has located thus far. (See Maselli Decl. Ex. E.) As a result, Apple will be 17 producing over 21,000 pages of such documents this week. As was the case with the baseband 18 source code, these baseband processor technical documents are third party confidential Intel 19 documents. These documents reflect 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 3 The parties have submitted two different proposed protective orders for the Court’s consideration, but both protective orders permit cross-use of documents between this litigation and other ongoing litigation between the parties before the International Trade Commission. 28 APPLE’S OPPOSITION TO SAMSUNG’S MOT. TO COMPEL CASE NO. 11-CV-01846-LHK (PSG) sf-3093397 5 1 2 3 4 , 5 6 7 (See Maselli Decl. ¶ 5.) Accordingly, Samsung’s motion to compel additional source code and 8 technical documents relating to the Samsung asserted patents is without merit. 9 10 B. “All” Source Code and Technical Documents Related to Known Prior Art Samsung moves to compel “all” source code and technical documents relating to “known 11 prior art” to Apple’s asserted utility patents. (Samsung Mot. at 6.) Apple has already produced 12 documents sufficient to show all such alleged prior art references. (Bartlett Decl. ISO Opp. to 13 Motion to Compel ¶ 4.) Samsung fails to explain in its motion to compel why it needs “all” 14 documents “related” to those alleged references. Samsung’s request for “all” such documents 15 instead appears calculated to impose an impossible burden on Apple—to require Apple to search 16 through files, many 10 to 20 years old, to gather “all” documents, even those only tangentially 17 “related” to the alleged prior art references. N.D. Cal. Civil Local Rule 37-2 requires Samsung to 18 “detail the basis for [its] contention that it is entitled to the requested discovery and must show 19 how the proportionality and other requirements of Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(b)(2) are satisfied.” 20 Samsung has not met this burden. 21 Nor has Samsung identified the specific prior art it is seeking, except in one instance. 22 Samsung’s sole example of prior art it still needs in this category concerns NeXT OS. NeXT OS 23 is alleged to be relevant to a single asserted Apple patent, U.S. Patent No. 6,429,002 (the “'002 24 Patent”). The '002 patent claims a computer-controlled display system having a particular status 25 bar. The status bar has programming modules, such as a clock or battery life indicator, which is 26 sensitive to user input. In the accused Galaxy products, for instance, the user might be able to 27 touch the time indicator shown on the status bar to cause the date to be displayed. 28 APPLE’S OPPOSITION TO SAMSUNG’S MOT. TO COMPEL CASE NO. 11-CV-01846-LHK (PSG) sf-3093397 6 1 The NeXTSTEP OS that is the subject of Samsung’s motion was developed by NeXT, 2 Inc., a company founded by Steve Jobs and purchased by Apple in 1996 when Mr. Jobs rejoined 3 Apple. This was over fifteen years ago. It would be unduly burdensome to require Apple to 4 search for all documents and things relating to the NeXTSTEP OS, just to provide evidence 5 regarding the narrow question of whether the NeXTSTEP OS had a status bar within the meaning 6 of the '002 patent. Nevertheless, Apple has already produced all source code that it has been able 7 to locate. (Bartlett Decl. ISO Opp. to Motion to Compel ¶ 4.) Apple has also agreed to produce 8 all technical documents relating to NeXTSTEP OS that Apple has previously produced in other 9 litigation. (Id. ¶ 4 & Ex. 8 at 1-2.) Apple also made available a NeXT OS 3.0 work station, 10 11 which Samsung already has inspected. (Id. ¶ 4.) Thus, Apple has already produced far more information than Samsung reasonably needs 12 relating to prior art defenses based on NeXT OS. Samsung never explains why it needs more. 13 Thus, Samsung has failed to show how the “proportionality and other requirements of Fed. R. 14 Civ. P. 26(b)(2) are satisfied.” See Civil Local Rule 37-2. 15 C. 16 Samsung asserts that it is entitled to “all” documents showing Apple’s analysis and All Documents Mentioning Samsung and its Accused Products 17 consideration of Samsung and Samsung products. Samsung states that its demand for these 18 documents rests on “exactly the same basis upon which Apple demanded Samsung search for and 19 produce all documents using ‘Apple’ in certain custodians’ files”—specifically, “because they 20 evidence the extent to which Apple designers, engineers, and marketing personnel were aware of 21 and copied Samsung’s products.” (Samsung Mot. 7-8.) 22 This argument is premised on a false assumption of symmetry. Apple is entitled to 23 Samsung’s documents containing the word “Apple” because Samsung denied copying Apple’s 24 design. For this reason, the Court ordered Samsung to search for those documents: 25 From the custodial files of each of Samsung designers of Samsung’s Galaxy S 4G and Infuse 4G, Droid Charge phones and Galaxy Tab 10.1 table computer identified in Samsung’s Rule 26(a) disclosures or interrogatory responses, all documents referencing the Apple products alleged by Apple to embody one or more of the ornamental or utility features claimed in the patents. All means all: email, memoranda, whatever. Samsung put these documents at 26 27 28 APPLE’S OPPOSITION TO SAMSUNG’S MOT. TO COMPEL CASE NO. 11-CV-01846-LHK (PSG) sf-3093397 7 1 2 3 4 5 issue when, at page 39 of its opposition to Apple's preliminary injunction motion, it boldly declared that “[a]lthough willful infringement, including deliberate copying, may be relevant to a preliminary injunction motion, Apple has offered no evidence of such copying or willful infringement.” (Dkt. No. 267 at 3.) None of this reasoning applies to Apple. There is no legitimate dispute whether Apple 6 copied the Samsung products in suit. Apple could not have done so, because there was nothing to 7 copy at the time Apple introduced its products. Apple’s iPhone was introduced in 2007, the 8 iPhone 3G in 2008, and the iPhone 4 in June 2010, but Samsung did not introduce the first of the 9 products in suit until July 2010. (Bartlett Decl. ISO Opp. to Motion to Compel ¶ 5.) Apple 10 introduced the iPad in 2010 and the iPad 2 in March 2011. (Id.) Samsung introduced its first 11 tablet in November 2010 and its iPad 2 look-alike Tab 10.1 in June 2011. (Id.) In fact, 12 Samsung’s accused products were introduced long after Apple’s design and technical work on 13 current iPhone, iPad and iPod touch products were completed. Accordingly, none of the evidence 14 sought by Samsung in this category is relevant, because none of it can show that Apple personnel 15 “were aware of and copied Samsung’s products.” Indeed, Samsung has not even alleged that 16 Apple copied any Samsung products or technologies. Under these circumstances, Samsung does 17 not and cannot meet its burden under Local Rule 37-2 to show that the burden of the requested 18 production is proportional to its need. 19 Nevertheless, solely to avoid unnecessary motion practice, Apple has already searched for 20 and produced inventor documents referencing “Samsung.” (Id. ¶ 6 & Ex. 8 at 5.) Apple has also 21 already agreed to produce market research and customer surveys, whether or not those documents 22 mention Samsung. Samsung alleges Apple failed to run the search term “Samsung” on files 23 collected from other custodians, but has never identified those additional custodians or explained 24 why such a search is necessary. (Id. ¶ 6.) In addition, Apple accepted a long list of Samsung’s 25 proposed search terms and has made reasonable attempts to narrow the handful it has not 26 accepted, as discussed in the following section. (Id. ¶ 7.) Accordingly, to the extent that 27 28 APPLE’S OPPOSITION TO SAMSUNG’S MOT. TO COMPEL CASE NO. 11-CV-01846-LHK (PSG) sf-3093397 8 1 Samsung had any basis to demand Apple search for “Samsung” and related search terms in its 2 documents—which it did not—the motion is moot.4 3 D. 4 Pursuant to the Court’s Order of September 28, 2011 (Dkt. No. 267), Apple disclosed to Samsung’s Proposed Search Terms 5 Samsung the search terms it used to search the files of Apple design inventors. Samsung was 6 unsatisfied with Apple’s search and demanded that Apple run 114 new search strings. (Bartlett 7 Decl. ISO Opp. to Motion to Compel ¶ 7.) Apple agreed to run, and did run, almost all of 8 Samsung’s requested searches. (Id.) Apple objected to some of Samsung’s proposed search 9 terms, however, as facially overbroad. Samsung demanded, for example that Apple search for all 10 instances of the word “look,” as well as all instances of the word “feel.” Other searches were 11 unreasonable as proposed but Apple was able to propose modified searches that Samsung 12 accepted. 13 The remaining disagreements between Apple and Samsung are limited to a very small 14 number of remaining terms. The specific terms in dispute were set out in Apple’s January 5, 15 2012 letter to Samsung. (Bartlett Decl. ISO Opp. to Motion to Enforce Ex. B at 7-10.) Apple 16 believes that its proposals on these few remaining terms are more than adequate to provide any 17 relevant discovery to Samsung. Moreover, as demonstrated in Apple’s supporting papers, 18 applying Samsung’s overbroad search terms without modification would result in an 19 unreasonable number of hits that have nothing to do with this case. (Bartlett Decl. ISO Opp. to 20 Motion to Compel ¶ 7.) Samsung has not responded to this point, nor does Samsung’s motion 21 even attempt to explain why Apple’s proposed compromises are deficient in any way. Under 22 these circumstances, Samsung has failed to establish an adequate basis for the relief it seeks. 23 4 24 25 26 27 Samsung insinuates that Apple agreed to a reciprocal production of all documents containing their proposed search terms. (Samsung Mot. at 7.) Apple never made such a sweeping agreement. Rather, as noted above, Apple agreed to a reasonable search of the files of certain custodians, including inventors, despite Samsung’s failure to articulate any need for such an exercise. Apple has accepted the general principle that, where relevant to both sides, documents on certain issues should be produced on a reciprocal basis. But that concept cannot be applied indiscriminately to issues that, like the underlying copying issue here, are relevant to only one party’s case. 28 APPLE’S OPPOSITION TO SAMSUNG’S MOT. TO COMPEL CASE NO. 11-CV-01846-LHK (PSG) sf-3093397 9 1 E. 2 Samsung wrongly argues that Apple has failed to produce relevant design history 3 materials. As detailed in the accompanying Opposition to Samsung’s Motion to Enforce Various 4 Court Orders (“Opp. to Motion to Enforce”), Apple has produced a substantial amount of design 5 history documents, including CAD, sketchbooks, and models or prototypes. The only items that 6 Apple has not produced are items that are irrelevant or of such limited or questionable relevance 7 that it would be unduly burdensome for Apple to search for and produce them. 8 9 Design History 1. CAD and Sketchbooks Samsung includes “CAD” in its motion headings and repeatedly emphasizes the relevance 10 of CAD (see, e.g., Samsung Mot. at 10 (“ 11 Models Must be Produced”), but does not actually point to any additional CAD that Samsung 12 needs. This is because Samsung has nothing to point to. Apple began producing CAD files long 13 ago. (Bartlett Decl. ISO Opp. to Motion to Enforce ¶ 4.) As of December 30, 2011, Apple 14 produced all of the CAD its industrial designers created during the development of all released 15 iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad product. (Id. Ex. B.) 16 CAD Drawings, Prototypes, and Apple has not produced all electrical diagrams or other computer aided design documents 17 relating to circuit boards, electrical and mechanical components, and other internal aspects of 18 these products, because they are plainly not relevant to design patents or trade dress. In any 19 event, it is not even clear that Samsung is seeking these kinds of documents through its motion, 20 and Samsung has not attempted to show the relevance of such documents. 21 In addition to CAD, as discussed in Apple’s Motion to Enforce Opposition, Apple has 22 produced sketchbooks related to every design patent at issue. (See Opp. to Motion to Enforce 23 Section I.) Here too, it is unclear what else Samsung seeks by its motion. 24 2. Models 25 Apple has produced all design models that it has been able to find (more than a thousand) 26 that industrial designers created or had created when they were designing the products at issue for 27 Samsung’s inspection. (Bartlett Decl. ISO Opp. to Motion to Enforce ¶¶ 4, 7.) Apple has 28 canvassed individuals working on touch hardware, design, operating system software, core driver APPLE’S OPPOSITION TO SAMSUNG’S MOT.

Samsung has not responded. (Id.) 3 Apple should not be expected to empty the company of non-working prototypes and spare 4 parts. (Id.) The burden of collecting, transporting, and presenting for inspection those pieces far 5 outweighs any relevance. 6 7 As discussed in the Opp. to Motion to Enforce, 8 (Id. ¶ 9, Ex. H (example of 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 4. All Documents Regarding Tiger Samsung’s demand for “all documents regarding Tiger” fails for two reasons. First, 24 Samsung has never propounded a Request for Production seeking Tiger documents. Samsung’s 25 failure to cite any Tiger-related RFP in its motion confirms as much. Samsung cannot move to 26 compel production of documents that it has not requested under the Federal Rules of Civil 27 Procedure. See Gerawan Farming, Inc. v. Prima Bella Produce, Inc., No.10-cv-00148 LJO JLT, 28 2011 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 67253, at *9 (E.D. Cal. June 23, 2011) (“Defendant cannot expand the APPLE’S OPPOSITION TO SAMSUNG’S MOT. TO COMPEL CASE NO. 11-CV-01846-LHK (PSG) sf-3093397 11 1 scope of its requests on a motion to compel”); J&M Assocs. v. Nat'l Union Fire Ins. Co., No. 06- 2 cv-0903-W (JMA), 2008 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 97542 (S.D. Cal. Dec. 2, 2008) (“The Court can only 3 compel the production of documents actually asked for in discovery”). 4 Second, Samsung’s demand places an impossible burden on Apple that far outweighs any 5 need by Samsung for Tiger-related documents. Tiger is a version of the Mac OS X operating 6 system. (Bartlett Decl. ISO Opp. to Motion to Compel ¶ 8.) “All materials” relating to Tiger 7 would encompass a vast range of source code, technical materials, emails, project management 8 documents, marketing, advertising, finance, retail, and customer support documents. Samsung’s 9 insistence that Apple search for, collect, and produce all this material is wildly disproportionate to 10 any conceivable benefit it could provide Samsung. The one and only aspect of Tiger that is even 11 alleged to be relevant here is its dock icons, which Samsung alleges constitute prior art to Apple’s 12 '305 design patent. 13 Samsung alleges that the dock icons in Tiger, which look like this: 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 APPLE’S OPPOSITION TO SAMSUNG’S MOT. TO COMPEL CASE NO. 11-CV-01846-LHK (PSG) sf-3093397 12 1 invalidate Apple’s asserted design patent, which looks like this: 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 Although Apple does not believe that Tiger is relevant prior art, Apple produced documents and 15 things sufficient to show the Tiger dock icons. (Id.) In particular, Apple has produced a new, in- 16 the-box, version of Tiger 10.4.3 for inspection. (Id.) Samsung has articulated no reason why 17 Tiger is relevant other than other than its dock icons, or why the copy of Tiger that Apple 18 provided is insufficient. 19 Incredibly, Samsung’s motion makes absolutely no attempt to narrow the scope of its 20 demand to a set of documents and things that it reasonably needs and that are within the scope of 21 its document requests. Samsung’s motion is a frivolous and abusive tactic that is aimed at only 22 one thing: harassment. Apple has produced Tiger-related material that is more than sufficient in 23 light of the exceedingly remote relevance of the Tiger OS to this case. Requiring production of 24 the vast array of additional documents demanded by Samsung would impose a significant burden 25 on Apple, with little benefit to Samsung. Samsung’s demand for “all documents regarding Tiger” 26 is thus improper under Rule 26(b)(2)(C)(iii) and Local Rule 37-2 and should be denied. 27 28 APPLE’S OPPOSITION TO SAMSUNG’S MOT. TO COMPEL CASE NO. 11-CV-01846-LHK (PSG) sf-3093397 2 1 F. 2 Apple has agreed to produce numerous survey and marketing documents related to Survey and Marketing Documents 3 Apple’s design and utility patents, trade dress, and trademarks. Apple specifically explained in 4 writing over a week before Samsung filed its motion to compel that it would provide the 5 following documents by January 31, 2012: 6 Final survey reports, questionnaires and raw survey data for all customer 7 surveys conducted by Apple related to iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad; and 8 All market research reports purchased by Apple in the ordinary course of 9 business relating to iPhone, iPod touch and iPad. 10 (Bartlett Decl. ISO Opp. to Motion to Enforce Ex. B; Barlett Decl. ISO Opp. to Motion to 11 Compel Ex. 8 at 2-3.) These documents are sufficient to support any alleged defenses Samsung 12 asserts. 13 The only dispute is whether Apple needs to produce even more documents. But Samsung 14 never meets its Civil Local Rule 37-2 burden to show why it needs additional documents beyond 15 those that Apple offered, nor does Samsung even explain which types of additional documents it 16 would need. Apple believes that both parties should produce a broad set of survey-related 17 documents and has invited Samsung to describe the additional categories of survey-related 18 documents it is seeking. Samsung has failed to do so. 19 G. 20 As with Survey documents, Apple has produced numerous financial documents in 21 Financial Documents response to Samsung’s request. The following categories of documents have been produced: 22 U.S. and world wide units by quarter from FY 2007 to 2011 for iPhone, 23 iPod touch and iPad; 24 U.S. and world wide revenue by quarter from FY 2007 to 2011 for iPhone, 25 iPod touch and iPad; 26 GAAP line of business reports setting forth Standard Margins, Adjusted 27 Standard Margins, Gross Margins, allocated SG&A, and Research and 28 Development Costs for iPhone, iPad and iPod for FY 2007 to 2011; APPLE’S OPPOSITION TO SAMSUNG’S MOT. TO COMPEL CASE NO. 11-CV-01846-LHK (PSG) sf-3093397 3 1 Bills of Materials for all accused Apple products (including line item cost 2 information); and 3 Capital expenditure data for the U.S. and worldwide relating to iPhone, 4 iPad and iPod. 5 These documents reflect how Apple itself tracks financial information in the ordinary 6 course of business. As explained in Apple’s January 5 letter to Samsung, additional documents 7 would be unreasonably duplicative, burdensome, and unreliable because (unlike the documents 8 identified above) they would not necessarily represent final financial figures. Fausto v. Credigy 9 Servs. Corp., 251 F.R.D. 427, 430 (N.D. Cal. 2008) (ordering production of specific financial 10 statements and tax returns, but otherwise denying motion to compel “broad array” of financial 11 documents that was “unduly broad” given narrow relevance of such documents). 12 Samsung’s motion fails to explain why it needs even more documents than those proposed 13 in Apple’s letter. For example, Samsung does not attempt to explain why it would be reasonable 14 to demand every Apple email that mentions sales results or pricing, or every document that refers 15 to customer demand. Samsung thus fails to carry its burden under Local Rule 37-2. 16 The only additional category of documents Samsung identifies in its motion is “business 17 plans and strategies.” Apple did not address that issue in its previous correspondence with 18 Samsung because Samsung never raised a request for business plans and strategies at the January 19 5 lead trial counsel meet and confer. (Mazza Decl. ¶ 3.) Under Judge Koh’s Case Management 20 Order, Samsung therefore cannot move to compel on these documents. In any event, Apple has 21 agreed to produce a reasonable scope of marketing and strategy documents collected from its 22 Product Marketing, Advertising, and Market Research groups. Samsung’s demand for all 23 “business plans and strategies,” however, is too vague for Apple to respond to without more 24 specificity. 25 H. 26 As discussed in greater detail in Apple’s Motion for Protective Order Regarding 27 Samsung’s First Rule 30(b)(6) Deposition Notice (Dkt. No. 599), Samsung’s 30(b)(6) notice is 28 improper on its face and plainly calculated to harass. The notice spans 46 single-spaced pages, Rule 30(b)(6) Deposition Notice APPLE’S OPPOSITION TO SAMSUNG’S MOT. TO COMPEL CASE NO. 11-CV-01846-LHK (PSG) sf-3093397 4 1 sets forth 229 topics for examination, and includes more than 600 subparts. The total number of 2 subjects for examination exceeds 800. Even if it were possible to prepare one or more witnesses 3 to testify on this many subjects before the close of fact discovery, doing so would impose an 4 immense burden on Apple. Apple would likely be required to devote hundreds, if not thousands, 5 of hours to preparing deponents on the myriad subjects. Apple’s counsel would need to spend 6 substantial additional time working with the deponents to ensure that their preparation was 7 adequate. 8 9 This colossal expenditure of time and effort would result in little, if any, benefit to Samsung. Samsung has already used more than 123 hours of its allotted time, leaving less than 10 127 hours for its remaining depositions. (Bartlett Decl. ISO Opp. to Motion to Compel ¶ 9.) 11 Moreover, Samsung has noticed depositions of 49 other Apple witnesses. Given these 12 constraints, Samsung knows that it cannot cover more than a small fraction of the over 800 topics 13 listed in its notice in its remaining time. Its true objective is to force Apple to spend hundreds of 14 hours preparing perhaps dozens of witnesses to testify on numerous topics which Samsung has no 15 intention of covering. The Court should reject this tactic. See, e.g., Bowers v. Mortg. Elec. 16 Registration Sys., Inc., No. 10-4141-JTM, 2011 WL 6013092, at *6-7 (D. Kan. Dec. 2, 2011) 17 (“the burden on [the party] of producing a representative to testify to the far-reaching 22 topics 18 contained [in the notice] outweighs the likely benefit of the discovery sought”); Acton v. Target 19 Corp., No. C08-1149RAJ, 2009 WL 5214419, at *4 (W.D. Wash. Dec. 22, 2009) (advising party 20 whose 30(b)(6) notice listed over 400 subjects that “it is unlikely [the party] will have anyone to 21 blame but himself” if it turned out that its adversary was “unprepared on one or more subjects”). 22 In addition, numerous topics in the notice are inappropriate. For example, many topics are 23 so overbroad that Apple “is unable to identify the outer limits of the areas of inquiry noticed, and 24 designating a representative in compliance with the deposition notice becomes impossible.” 25 Lipari v. U.S. Bancorp., N.A., No. 07-2146-CM-DJW, 2008 WL 4642618, at *5 (D. Kan. Oct. 16, 26 2008). These overbroad topics include 15 topics seeking testimony concerning “all 27 communications” with certain broad categories of persons on 112 separate subjects, and 17 other 28 topics seeking testimony concerning “all software” relating to 157 separate features or subjects. APPLE’S OPPOSITION TO SAMSUNG’S MOT. TO COMPEL CASE NO. 11-CV-01846-LHK (PSG) sf-3093397 5 1 Numerous other topics seek facts supporting certain legal theories advanced by Apple in this 2 litigation, or seek facts or data such as the amount of sales and revenue from each Apple accused 3 product or identification of all products with which Apple’s accused products compete. These 4 topics should be the subject of interrogatories, not deposition questioning. 5 Despite the manifest impropriety of Samsung’s notice, Apple offered to provide Rule 6 30(b)(6) testimony on a narrowed set of topics, provided that Samsung agreed to provide 7 reciprocal 30(b)(6) testimony on similar topics. Contrary to Samsung’s assertion that Apple tried 8 to “add to its [deposition] time” (Samsung Mot. at 14), Apple never suggested that either side’s 9 reciprocal testimony should be exempt from Judge Koh’s time limit for depositions. Indeed, as 10 noted above, it is Samsung that is pretending that those limits do not exist. Nor is Apple 11 “conditioning” 30(b)(6) testimony on reciprocal testimony from Samsung. If Samsung serves a 12 notice with a reasonable list of specific topics appropriate for 30(b)(6) examination, and 13 withdraws its patently unreasonable notice, Apple will provide the requested testimony. 14 I. 15 Apple provided deposition dates for all of the noticed Apple deponents by January 13, in Fact Witness Depositions 16 accord with the parties’ agreement.5 (Mazza Decl. ¶ 4.) Samsung’s motion to compel with 17 respect to these deponents is moot. 18 Samsung also requests that the Court order Apple to provide a second deposition of 19 Jonathan Ive, Apple’s Senior Vice President of Industrial Design. Samsung’s request for still 20 more time with Mr. Ive is completely unsupported by any facts and plainly intended to harass. 21 Among other things, Samsung has already deposed Mr. Ive for a full seven hours, a second 22 deposition would be cumulative of other witnesses’ testimony and documents, and the burden of 23 subjecting Mr. Ive to another deposition outweighs its benefits. 24 25 26 27 Under Rule 30(d)(1), “[u]nless otherwise stipulated or ordered by the court, a deposition is limited to 1 day of 7 hours.” See Fed. R. Civ. P. 30(d)(1). Pursuant to the “good cause” 5 Samsung purported to provide dates too, but did not. Most of the dates provided by Samsung were avowedly “tentative” and subject to further “confirmation” by Samsung. (Mazza Decl. Ex. A.) 28 APPLE’S OPPOSITION TO SAMSUNG’S MOT. TO COMPEL CASE NO. 11-CV-01846-LHK (PSG) sf-3093397 6 1 requirement of Rule 26(b)(2), a Court must allow additional time only if needed to “fairly 2 examine the deponent” or “if the deponent, another party, or any other circumstance impedes or 3 delays the examination.” See id. In determining whether there is good cause for additional 4 deposition time, “the court should begin with the presumption that the seven-hour limit was 5 carefully chosen and that extensions of that limit should be the exception, not the rule.” Somerset 6 Studios, LLC v. Sch. Specialty, Inc., No. C 10-5527 MEJ, 2011 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 103927, at *12- 7 13 (N.D. Cal. Sept. 14, 2011) (emphasis added). 8 9 Because Mr. Ive is one of Apple’s most senior executives, Samsung’s burden to continue his deposition is even greater. A party seeking to depose a high-ranking corporate officer, such as 10 Mr. Ive, must “first establish that the executive (1) has unique, non-repetitive, firsthand 11 knowledge of the facts at issue in the case, and (2) that other less intrusive means of discovery, 12 such as interrogatories and depositions of other employees, have been exhausted without 13 success.” Affinity Lab of Texas v. Apple, Inc., No. C 09-4436 CW (JL), 2011 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 14 53649, at *40-41 (N.D. Cal. May 9, 2011). “Virtually every court that has addressed deposition 15 notices directed at an official at the highest level or ‘apex’ of corporate management has observed 16 that such discovery creates a tremendous potential for abuse or harassment.” Celerity, Inc. v. 17 Ultra Clean Holding, Inc., No. C 05-04374 MMC (JL), 2007 WL 205067, at *3 (N.D. Cal. 18 Jan. 25, 2007). 19 Samsung fails to show that it is entitled under these standards to continue Mr. Ive’s 20 deposition. First, Samsung fails to show good cause as required under Rule 26(b)(2). Samsung 21 deposed Mr. Ive for the full seven hours allowed under the Federal Rules. (Bartlett Decl. ISO 22 Opp. to Motion to Compel ¶ 10.) Samsung covered a wide range of issues during its full-day 23 deposition of Mr. Ive, including his personal background, Apple’s design process, the 24 development of the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch designs, and issues relating to document 25 creation. (Id.) Samsung fails to explain why it needs more time to examine Mr. Ive. Samsung 26 does not: 27 identify any additional topics that it needs to cover with Mr. Ive; 28 APPLE’S OPPOSITION TO SAMSUNG’S MOT. TO COMPEL CASE NO. 11-CV-01846-LHK (PSG) sf-3093397 7 1 demonstrate that Samsung was prevented from addressing those topics in 2 Mr. Ive’s first deposition; 3 identify any additional documents or evidence which were unavailable at 4 the time of Mr. Ive’s deposition and on which it now wishes to examine 5 him; 6 explain why it believes Mr. Ive would be in a position to offer useful 7 testimony on the topics it intends to cover; or 8 demonstrate that its questions could not be addressed to other witnesses 9 who have not been deposed. 10 Samsung knew before deposing Mr. Ive that he had substantive knowledge of Apple’s 11 product designs. And Samsung knew at the time it scheduled Mr. Ive’s deposition that Apple had 12 not completed its entire production of “all” documents Samsung now seeks. Samsung should not 13 be heard to complain about the fact that it took Mr. Ive’s deposition early in the case before 14 discovery was complete—that is the schedule Samsung itself requested. 15 Second, Samsung fails to even attempt to meet the requirements for an apex deposition. 16 Samsung has already deposed Mr. Ive for a full seven hours. To justify further examination time, 17 it must show that he has “unique, non-repetitive, firsthand knowledge” of any issues that were not 18 covered during his deposition.” Affinity Labs., 2011 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 53649, at *40. Samsung 19 does not identify any non-covered issues, much less show that Mr. Ive has unique knowledge of 20 them. Nor does Samsung bother to show that “other less intrusive means of discovery, such as 21 interrogatories and depositions of other employees, have been exhausted without success.” Id. 22 None of the authorities cited in Samsung’s brief supports its assertion that Mr. Ive’s 23 purported status as a “key witness” by itself justifies additional deposition time. In each of those 24 cases, additional time was granted on grounds that do not apply here. See Ryan v. Paychex, Inc., 25 Civ. No. 08CV1151 (WWE), 2009 WL 2883053, at *1 (D. Conn. Sept. 1, 2009) (witness 26 repeatedly resisted answering questions and otherwise “disrupted” the deposition); JSR Micro, 27 Inc. v.
