[PROPOSED] ORDER GRANTING APPLE’S MOTION TO STRIKE PORTIONS OF EXPERT REPORTS 15 18 SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO., LTD., a Korean corporation; SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS AMERICA, INC., a New York corporation; and SAMSUNG TELECOMMUNICATIONS AMERICA, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, 19 Defendants. 16 17 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 [PROPOSED] ORDER GRANTING APPLE’S MOT. TO STRIKE PORTIONS OF EXPERT REPORTS CASE NO. 11-CV-01846-LHK (PSG) sf-3146206 1 Pursuant to Patent Local Rules 3-1, 3-3, and 3-6; Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 26(e), 2 33, and 37; and Local Rule 37-4, Apple Inc. (“Apple”) seeks to strike certain portions of expert 3 reports by Stephen Gray, Andries Van Dam, Brian Von Herzen, Woodward Yang, Tim A. 4 Williams, Jeffrey Johnson, Sam Lucente, Itay Sherman, Nicholas P. Godici, Robert John Anders, 5 and Michael J. Wagner, each of whom has been retained by Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., 6 Samsung Electronics America, Inc., and Samsung Telecommunications America, LLC 7 (collectively, “Samsung”). 8 9 10 Having considered the arguments of the parties and the papers submitted, and GOOD CAUSE HAVING BEEN SHOWN, IT IS ORDERED that Apple’s Motion to Strike Portions of Expert Reports is GRANTED. 11 For the reasons stated below, the Court strikes the portions of the expert reports of 12 Messrs. Gray, Van Dam, Von Herzen, Yang, Williams, Johnson, Lucente, Sherman, Godici, 13 Anders, and Wagner that are highlighted in the copies of those reports attached as Exhibits 2, 11- 14 12, 17-19, 23-24, 26-31, and 34 to the Declaration of Marc J. Pernick in Support of Apple’s 15 Motion to Strike Portions of Expert Reports. Those portions are also identified below. 16 1. Opening Report of Stephen Gray (“Gray Report”), Pernick Decl. Ex. 2 17 The Court finds that many of the prior art references discussed or relied upon by 18 Mr. Gray were not disclosed in Samsung’s Patent Local Rule 3-3 Invalidity Contentions. The 19 Court is not persuaded that disclosure of the Diamond Touch System was sufficient to disclose 20 applications that run on this system or an article relating to the Diamond Touch system. 21 Accordingly, Mr. Gray shall offer no testimony in this action regarding any of these 22 undisclosed prior art references, and all portions of the Gray Report that rely on or discuss the 23 following references shall be struck, including: 24 a. Mandelbrot or Fractal Zoom source code and executables. (Gray Report ¶¶ 145, 25 153, 154, 156, 161-165, 213; Appendix 3 at 1, 5-14, 17-18, 20; Appendices 3.1, 26 3.2, 3.3, and 3.5.) 27 28 b.

An Interactive Coffee Table for Opportunistic Browsing. (Id. Ex T.) 2. Opening Report of Andries Van Dam (“Van Dam Report”), Pernick Decl. Ex. 11 The Court finds that many of the prior art references discussed or relied upon by 21 Dr. Van Dam were not disclosed in Samsung’s Patent Local Rule 3-3 Invalidity Contentions. The 22 Court is not persuaded that these references are provided for “mere background,” or that the fact 23 that the ’566 Patent is listed on the face of the ’381 Patent excuses Samsung’s failure to disclose 24 its intent to rely on this reference. Accordingly, Dr. Van Dam shall offer no testimony in this 25 action on any of these undisclosed prior art references, and all portions of the Van Dam Report 26 that rely on or discuss the following references shall be struck, including: 27 28 [PROPOSED] ORDER GRANTING APPLE’S MOT. TO STRIKE PORTIONS OF EXPERT REPORTS CASE NO. 11-CV-01846-LHK sf-3146206 2 1 a. Bruce H.

Kwatinetz. (Id. ¶¶ 47, 50.) 10 11 3. Opening Report of Brian Von Herzen (“Von Herzen ’607 Report”), Pernick Decl. Ex. 12 The Court finds that (1) two of the prior art references discussed or relied upon by 12 Mr. Von Herzen, and (2) Samsung’s derivation theory were not disclosed in Samsung’s Patent 13 Local Rule 3-3 Invalidity Contentions. Patent Local Rule 3-3(b) required Samsung to disclose 14 combinations of references that it believes render the ’607 Patent obvious, and to provide the 15 details of any derivation defense. Accordingly, Mr. Von Herzen shall offer no testimony in this 16 action on any of the following : 17 a. 18 Prior Art References i. 19 411.) 20 21 U.S. Patent No. 5,113,041. (Von Herzen ’607 Report ¶¶ 116, 195, 345, ii. b. U.S. Patent No. 5,880,411. (Id. ¶¶ 51, 377, 381, 439.) All theories and arguments that the ’607 Patent is derived from the Sony 22 Smartskin, including Paragraphs 29-30, 45, 52-53, 82, 444-60 of the Von Herzen 23 Report. 24 25 1 26 27 The Van Dam Report has some formatting errors that cause certain paragraph numbers to be repeated. As with all of the stricken portions, the Court therefore directs the parties’ attention to the highlighted version of Van Dam’s expert report that is attached to the Pernick Declaration in support of Apple’s Motion to Strike. 28 [PROPOSED] ORDER GRANTING APPLE’S MOT. TO STRIKE PORTIONS OF EXPERT REPORTS CASE NO. 11-CV-01846-LHK sf-3146206 3 1 4. Rebuttal Report of Stephen Gray (“Gray Rebuttal Report”), Pernick Decl. Ex. 19 The Court finds that Mr. Gray’s opinion that 2 3 4 has not been disclosed sufficiently to comply with Rule 26(a) of the Federal Rules of 5 6 Civil Procedure (and in any event is too opaque and unspecific to provide Apple with a 7 meaningful opportunity to rebut or respond). As a result, Paragraphs 33-34, 52, 75, and 187 from 8 the Gray Rebuttal Report shall be struck. 9 5. 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 Rebuttal Report of Brian Von Herzen (“Von Hezen Rebuttal Report”), Pernick Decl. Ex. 18 The Court finds that two non-infringement opinions set forth in the Von Herzen ’607 Rebuttal Report were not seasonably disclosed in response to Apple’s Interrogatory No. 2 as required under Rules 26(e) and 33 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Samsung fails to demonstrate that this violation was harmless or substantially justified. Accordingly, as mandated by Rule 37(c)(1), I order that Mr. Von Herzen shall offer no testimony in this action on these noninfringement opinions, and the following portions of the Von Herzen Rebuttal Report shall be struck: 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 6. 25 26 27 Rebuttal Report of Jeffrey Johnson (“Johnson Report”), Pernick Decl. Ex. 17 The Court finds that the opinion set forth in the Johnson Rebuttal Report regarding was not seasonably disclosed in response to Apple’s Interrogatory No. 2 as required under Rule 26(e). Samsung fails to demonstrate that this violation was harmless or 28 [PROPOSED] ORDER GRANTING APPLE’S MOT. TO STRIKE PORTIONS OF EXPERT REPORTS CASE NO. 11-CV-01846-LHK sf-3146206 4 1 substantially justified. Accordingly, as mandated by Rule 37(c)(l), I order that Mr. Johnson shall 2 offer no testimony in this action on the 3 Johnson Rebuttal Report shall be struck: ¶ 65, Features 2 column of table associated with ¶63, 4 Gallery column 2 of table associated with ¶ 74, Gallery row 2 of table associated with ¶ 75, and 5 Exhibit 4 of the Johnson Rebuttal Report. 6 7. 7 and the following portions of the Opening Report of Woodward Yang (“Yang Report”), Pernick Decl. Ex. 23 The Court hereby strikes from the opening expert report of Dr. Yang Paragraphs 43-46 8 and 54-56, as well as Samsung’s “Evidence of Infringement” for the second and fourth claim 9 limitations identified in Exhibit 1A-1 (“entering a first Email transmission sub-mode …” and 10 “sequentially displaying …”), page 3 of Exhibit 1A-1 (“Under the doctrine of equivalents, 11 swiping meets this claim element. Source code for the Accused Devices reflect that the 12 differences between use of scroll keys and swiping are insubstantial”), page 3 of Exhibit 1A-2, 13 and page 7 of Exhibit lA-2 as highlighted by Apple in its moving papers. Dr. Yang shall not be 14 allowed to offer at trial any testimony relating to the substance of the struck material. 15 8. 16 Opening Report of Tim A. Williams (“Williams Report”), Pernick Decl. Ex. 24 The Court finds that the opinion of Dr. Williams that the first channel is all non-HARQ 17 channels (i.e., the DPDCH, DPCCH, HS-DPCCH, and E-DPCCH channels) is contrary to the 18 position put forward by Samsung in its Infringement Contentions that the “DPDCH channels” are 19 the claimed first channel not supporting HARQ. Patent Local Rule 3-1 requires all infringement 20 theories to be disclosed in a party’s Rule 3-1 disclosures. As a result, I order that Paragraphs 58, 21 65, 105, 110, 119, 173, and 198 of the Williams Report shall be stricken. Dr. Williams shall not 22 be allowed to offer at trial any testimony relating to the substance of the struck material. 23 9. Opening Report of Sam Lucente (“Lucente Report”), Pernick Decl. Ex. 26 24 The Court finds that many of the opinions set forth in the Lucente Report were not 25 seasonably disclosed in response to Apple’s Interrogatory Nos. 5 and 12 as required under 26 Rules 26(e) and 33 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Samsung fails to demonstrate that 27 this violation was harmless or substantially justified. Accordingly, as mandated by Rule 37(c)(1), 28 [PROPOSED] ORDER GRANTING APPLE’S MOT. TO STRIKE PORTIONS OF EXPERT REPORTS CASE NO. 11-CV-01846-LHK sf-3146206 5 1 I order that these portions of the Lucente Report are struck, and that Mr. Lucente shall offer no 2 testimony in this action on any of these matters: 3 a. 4 ground that it is anticipated or rendered obvious. (Lucente Report p. 32-78) 5 b. 6 7 All theories and arguments that the D’305 Patent or D’334 Patent is invalid on the All theories and arguments that any element of the asserted trade dress lacks distinctiveness. (Id. pp. 81-89) 10. Rebuttal Report of Sam Lucente (“Lucente Rebuttal Report”), Pernick Decl. Ex. 29 8 The Court finds that many of the opinions set forth in the Lucente Rebuttal Report were 9 not seasonably disclosed in response to Apple’s Interrogatory Nos. 11 and 12 as required under 10 Rules 26(e) and 33 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Samsung fails to demonstrate that 11 this violation was harmless or substantially justified. Accordingly, as mandated by Rule 37(c)(1), 12 I order that these portions of the Lucente Rebuttal Report are struck, and that Mr. Lucente shall 13 offer no testimony in this action on any of these matters: 14 a. For purposes of analyzing or opining on the D’305 Patent and the D’334 Patent, all 15 theories and arguments regarding comparisons of Apple’s icons and display 16 screens with Samsung’s icons and display screens, including any references to 17 prior art purportedly relevant to such comparisons. (Lucente Rebuttal Report 18 pp. 17-38, 44, 48-49.) 19 20 b. 11. The 2006 Samsung Touchscreen Presentation. (Id. pp. 10-11.) Opening Report of Itay Sherman (“Sherman Report”), Pernick Decl.

Samsung fails to demonstrate that 24 this violation was harmless or substantially justified. Accordingly, as mandated by Rule 37(c)(1), 25 I order that these portions of the Sherman Report are struck, and that Mr. Sherman shall offer no 26 testimony in this action on any of these matters: 27 28 [PROPOSED] ORDER GRANTING APPLE’S MOT.

The Court further finds that Mr. Godici’s 26 opinions relating to the purported indefiniteness of the D’087 Patent and the D’677 Patent were 27 not seasonably disclosed in response to Apple’s Interrogatory No. 12. As a result, Samsung 28 [PROPOSED] ORDER GRANTING APPLE’S MOT. TO STRIKE PORTIONS OF EXPERT REPORTS CASE NO. 11-CV-01846-LHK sf-3146206 9 1 violated Rules 26(e) and 33 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Samsung fails to 2 demonstrate that this violation was harmless or substantially justified, requiring exclusion of the 3 untimely opinions under Rule 37(c)(1). 4 5 Accordingly, I order that these portions of the Godici Report are struck, and that Mr. Godici shall offer no testimony in this action on any of these matters: 6 a. All theories and arguments that the scope of the D’889 Patent, the D’087 Patent, 7 the D’677 Patent, the D’305 Patent, or the D’334 Patent is narrow in light of 8 patents subsequently issued to Apple or Samsung.

Report of Robert John Anders (“Anders Report”), Pernick Decl. Ex. 30 13 The Court finds that many of the opinions set forth in the Anders Report were not 14 seasonably disclosed in response to Apple’s Interrogatory No. 11 as required under Rules 26(e) 15 and 33 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. This includes all comparisons of the D’889 16 Patent, the D’087 Patent, or the D’677 Patent with the accused products, and all comparisons of 17 any of those patents with prior art that were not disclosed before the close of discovery. This also 18 includes all prior art references that were not disclosed before the close of discovery. Samsung 19 fails to demonstrate that this violation was harmless or substantially justified. Accordingly, as 20 mandated by Rule 37(c)(1), I order that these portions of the Anders Report are struck, and that 21 Mr. Anders shall offer no testimony in this action on any of these matters: 22 23 a. Part B (the D’087 Patent) i. In Section II, Table B II, all analyses of any of these prior art references: 24 a. JP D128057 25 b. KR 30-0398307 c. KR 30-0452985 d.

In Section V, all infringement analyses of the Samsung Infuse 4G with the 10 D’087 Patent except for any analyses based on the assertion that the 11 Samsung Infuse 4G lacks the curved bezel/trim piece that is visually 12 pronounced in the D’087 Patent. 13 v.
