Roche will therefore produce such documents only to the extent they relate to the factors considered in a preliminary or permanent injunction determination should those issues arise . To the extent Amgen seeks remedies beyond injunctive relief, Roche reserves the right to supplement its response to this Request. Subject to these objections and the General Responses and Objections above, relevant, non-cumulative documents responsive to this Request which are in Roche's possession, custody or control and which are not subject to a claim of privilege or work product immunity or otherwise protected from disclosure, will be produced or made available for inspection and copying.
