Samsung, Case No. 11-cv-1846-LHK (PSG) (N.D. Cal.) Dear Rachel: During the lead counsel meet-and-confer sessions that we held on February 14-15, 2012, the parties discussed how to handle Samsung’s failure to produce all of the source code required by the Court’s December 22, 2011 Order. We in particular discussed reaching a stipulation as to versions of the accused products for which Samsung had not yet produced source code. Your February 14th letter set out a list of accused products for which Samsung represented that any versions for which it had not yet produced source code did not––except with regard to U.S. Patent No. 7,469,381––materially differ from the version for which Samsung had produced source code. You also stated in our meetings (as reflected in your February 14th letter) that Samsung would continue to investigate this issue, and would report back to us on whether additional accused products could be added to that list. We expected to hear from you on this issue by last Wednesday, February 22nd. We have not, however, received any further information from you. For purposes of moving this discussion along, I attach here a draft stipulation for Samsung’s consideration. As you will see, the current draft includes the accused products mentioned in your February 14th letter. I have also left blank spaces to account for additional products that you are able to add at this point. We have been very patient on this issue, but the time has come to resolve it. Please review this draft stipulation, and get back to us with any comments by the close of business on February 28, 2012. pa-1514322 Rachel Kassabian February 26, 2012 Page Two Sincerely, /s/ Marc J.
