Declaration re 229 Reply to Response to Motion of Emily C. O'Brien in Support of Google's Reply Brief in Support of its Motion to Compel Plaintiff to Produce Documents by Google Inc.. (Noona, Stephen)

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF VIRGINIA
NORFOLK DIVISION

I/P ENGINE, INC.
Plaintiff,
v.

Civil Action No. 2:11-cv-512

AOL, INC., et al.,
Defendants.

DECLARATION OF EMILY C. O’BRIEN IN SUPPORT OF GOOGLE'S REPLY BRIEF
IN SUPPORT OF ITS MOTION TO COMPEL PLAINTIFF TO PRODUCE
DOCUMENTS
I, Emily C. O’Brien, declare as follows:
1.

I am an attorney in the law firm of Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan, LLP and

am counsel for Defendant Google Inc. (“Google”) in the above-captioned case. I provide this
declaration upon personal knowledge and, if called upon as a witness, would testify competently
as to the matters recited herein.
2.

Several months ago, Plaintiff demanded the production of deposition and trial

transcripts, expert reports, motions, orders, and other documents from prior litigations involving
Google AdWords. Google explained that it would be unduly burdensome to collect and produce
all of the documents demanded by Plaintiff, many of which were in the possession of outside
counsel only. Plaintiff nonetheless insisted that, despite the burden, Google obtain certain
documents from outside counsel and produce them.

3.

Defendants issued document subpoenas to third parties Lycos, Altitude Capital

Partners, and Eidos. Defendants successfully served these subpoenas on Lycos and Altitude
Capital Partners, but was not able to successfully find Eidos for service.
4.

On November 29, 2011, Defendants issued and served a document subpoena on

Donald Kosak.
I declare under penalty of perjury of the laws of the United States that the foregoing is
true and correct.
