RE: Apple v. Samsung: Discovery Correspondence - Samsung's Purported Apex Objections

Hi Mia, 

Thanks for this.  We’ll consider your letter carefully, but in my preliminary review I didn’t see any evidence or argument 
suggesting that any of these witnesses have *unique* knowledge that cannot be obtained through other means such as 
lower level witnesses and 30(b)(6) witnesses.  I saw only reference to some documents which, Apple contends, suggest 
that one of more of these witnesses have *some” knowledge about something having to do with some aspect of this 
case.  That is not the standard, of course.  Can you please provide me with Apple’s evidence (if any) that these 
witnesses’ alleged knowledge is unique and cannot be obtained through lesser means?  I would appreciate receiving 
that today. 

Also, at Monday’s lead counsel meet and confer, you indicated that Apple would consider withdrawing or limiting some 
of these depositions.  I don’t see any such information in your letter.  Are you still working on those proposals, or are 
none forthcoming? 

Regards, 

Rachel
