The following objections apply to each document request in Apple Inc.’s (“Apple’s”)
3 Fourth Set of Requests for Production of Documents and Things, whether or not stated separately
4 in response to each particular document request.
5
1.
Samsung objects to each document request to the extent that it requests documents
6 and information protected from disclosure by the attorney-client privilege, attorney work product
7 doctrine, community of interest doctrine, joint defense privilege, and/or any other applicable
8 privilege. Any such documents and information will not be provided, and an inadvertent
9 production of any document or information that Samsung believes is immune from discovery
10 pursuant to any applicable privilege shall not be deemed a waiver. Samsung may give written
11 notice to Apple that the document or information inadvertently produced is privileged or otherwise
12 protected, and upon receipt of such written notice, Apple shall immediately comply with Federal
13 Rule of Civil Procedure 26(b)(5)(B) and the applicable provisions of any Protective Order entered
14 in this action, including the Model Interim Protective Order.
15
2.
Samsung objects to each document request to the extent that it is vague,
16 ambiguous, overly broad, oppressive, unduly burdensome, harassing, compound, fails to identify
17 the documents and things sought with reasonable particularity, and seeks information that is
18 neither relevant nor reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. Where
19 a term is vague and ambiguous, Samsung will respond based on its understanding of the term.

Samsung further objects to each document request to the extent it seeks highly
17 confidential documents containing Samsung’s sensitive proprietary business information, the
18 disclosure of which could cause Samsung substantial competitive harm. Any such documents will
19 be appropriately designated under the applicable protective order and/or redacted to exclude non20 responsive, irrelevant or privileged information.

22 readily available to Apple than to Samsung, or equally available to Apple as to Samsung,
23 including documents and things that are publicly available.
