Innovate/Protect).
26.
During the parties' meet and confer on August 2, Google asked whether Plaintiff was
limiting its answer to Google's email of August 1 to documents Plaintiff believed were
"relevant," but Plaintiff refused to answer, questioning whether the requested documents were
responsive to Google's document requests. Google also requested that Plaintiff confirm that it
had actually searched for and produced all responsive documents to Google's specific requests,
as outlined in its August 1 email. Even though the documents Defendants' requested concerned
the patents-in-suit and were obviously responsive to numerous requests, Plaintiff stated it would
not confirm until receiving a list of requests for production to which those documents were
responsive.
I declare under penalty of perjury of the laws of the United States that the foregoing is true and
correct.
