Apple v. Samsung; Motion to Compel

Dear Calvin, 

In a further effort to resolve the matters raised in Apple’s Motion to Compel concerning documents from 
other litigations, Samsung is willing to agree to the following: 

Samsung agrees to produce non‐privileged documents, if any, that it is able to locate after 
conducting a reasonable search, responsive to the following categories of documents for litigation 
in the US and foreign jurisdictions, excluding any responsive discovery motions, filings by third 
parties, and documents prepared by nontestifying experts: 

Documents, including deposition or other testimony of Samsung’s current or former 
employees or its testifying experts, and reports prepared by Samsung’s testifying experts, 
relating to or containing any claims or statements by Samsung in any litigation or judicial 
proceeding, regarding the determination of a FRAND royalty rate for any IPR that is 
claimed Essential to any ETSI Wireless Standard, and the propriety of injunctive relief for 
the infringement of IPR claimed to be Essential to any ETSI Wireless Standard. 

As to Apple’s Request No. 134, as indicated in Rachel Herrick Kassabian’s February 16, 2012 letter to you, 
Samsung previously offered to produce its non‐privileged responsive “business plans, strategy 
documents, financial projections and licensing plans that are applicable to patents that have been 
declared essential to the UMTS specifications identified in Apple’s answers and counterclaims (25.212, 
25.213, 25.214, and 25.322).”   

Apple accepted this proposal but seeks clarification as to the scope of production.  Specifically, Apple 
wants to know if Samsung intends to include in its production only business plans, strategy documents, 
financial projections and licensing plans that, by their terms, apply only to patents declared essential to 
UMTS specifications identified in Apple’s answer and counterclaims.  To be clear, Samsung will produce 
its non‐privileged, responsive business plans, strategy documents, financial projections and licensing 
plans, located after a reasonable search, that are applicable to patents that have been declared essential 
to the UMTS specifications identified in Apple’s answer and counterclaim, even if those business plans 
and other responsive documents also apply to other patents.  Of course, Samsung reserves the right to 
make redactions as appropriate to protect its confidential, proprietary information and/or trade secrets.

I trust that the proposals set forth in this email adequately address the issues raised in Apple’s Motion to 
Compel.  Please let me know if Apple is willing to accept Samsung’s proposals and take its Motion to 
Compel off calendar.  In light of the filing deadline for Samsung’s Opposition papers, I would appreciate it 
if you would respond by the close of business today. 

Regards, 

Randa Osman
