`
`Sharon,
`
`As you know, for the last month, we have attempted to meet and confer with you in order to finalize the Stipulated
`Protective Order. To date, you still have not provided any edits to the Protective Order and instead raise the same,
`baseless issues that we have already addressed as set forth in our email below. Your actions are in direct violation of
`N.D. Cal Local Rule 11-4 and we are forced to bring a motion to compel you and your firm to comply with your
`professional obligations under the local rules and to maintain the same position that you have taken in other cases with
`regard to the Protective Order.

`
`James,
`
`
`Your email seems to suggest that you believe counsel who have received access to Juniper’s “Highly Confidential – Attorneys’
`Eyes Only” or “Highly Confidential – Source Code” information are allowed to participate in the Cisco IPR. That is directly
`contrary to the plain terms of the Interim Protective Order, which defines “prosecution” as “directly or indirectly drafting,
`amending, advising, or otherwise affecting the scope or maintenance of patent claims.” There can be no serious dispute that
`the Cisco IPR proceedings will “affect the scope or maintenance” of the claims of the ‘633 patent and is thus encompassed
`within the prosecution bar.
`
`
`More importantly, your email is not responsive to my question. Please specifically identify the steps that Kramer Levin has taken
`to ensure that no personnel who has had access to Juniper’s confidential information will participate in the ‘633 Cisco IPR. In
`addition, please expressly confirm that neither you, nor Mr. Lee, has had any involvement in the Cisco IPR since Juniper first
`produced confidential information on March 19, 2018.

`
`Sharon,
`
`
`You appear to be misinterpreting the interim protective order as preventing counsel from participating in the Cisco IPR
`particularly. The interim protective order does not mention IPRs and we have not finalized the bounds of the prosecution
`bar. Nevertheless, we confirm that we took measures to wall‐off any access to Juniper confidential information and have been
`in compliance with the terms.

`
`
`Please provide us with your compromise language to the protective order by tomorrow. Otherwise, we will need to raise the
`issue with the Court immediately and inform the Court of the contrary positions you have taken in the numerous cases you
`represent plaintiffs and patent owners.

`
`James,
`
`None of the attorneys representing Juniper in this litigation were involved in the Fraunhofer case, so we are not aware of what
`the significant considerations were with regard to the prosecution bar for Fraunhofer. We’d be happy to investigate further.
`
`However, in order for us to have any meaningful conversation with you relating to any compromise regarding the prosecution
`bar, we need to know whether Finjan has been complying with the Protective Order that has been in place since we first
`produced confidential information on March 19, 2018. This is the third time we’ve asked for confirmation that Kramer Levin has
`been complying with the Protective Order in this case. Please immediately confirm that no one who has had access to Juniper’s
`confidential information has participated in the ‘633 Cisco IPR proceedings to date, and describe what steps your firm has taken
`to ensure that no personnel who has had access to Juniper’s confidential information will participate in the ‘633 Cisco IPR.

`Sharon, you can do a docket search just as easy as I can. There are numerous cases in which Irell represents both the plaintiff in
`District Court litigation and the patent owner in PTAB proceedings. One involving our firm is the Fraunhofer case in which the
`exact same team is representing both Fraunhofer as plaintiff and patent owner. If you refuse to work with us to come up with a
`compromise regarding the prosecution bar, we will have to inform the Court of your incredible and contradictory position on
`this issue.

`
`James,
`
`This is the first time you have raised the issue of the positions my firm has taken with regard to the prosecution bar in other
`cases. Could you please identify the specific matter or matters to which you are referring? In addition, please identify all cases
`where Kramer Levin has represented a different plaintiff or defendant and taken the position that a protective order should
`include a bar on participation in IPR proceedings.
`
`As you know, the Protective Order that is currently in place—and which has been in place since Juniper first produced
`confidential information on March 19, 2018—contains a prosecution bar that bars participation in IPR proceedings. Your failure
`to provide a substantive response to my question about the steps that Kramer Levin has taken to comply with this prosecution
`bar is very concerning. Please immediately confirm that no one who has had access to Juniper’s confidential information has
`participated in the ‘633 Cisco IPR proceedings. In addition, please tell us what steps you are currently taking to comply with the
`Protective Order.

`
`Counsel,
`
`We have considered Finjan’s proposed language regarding the prosecution bar, and have concluded that Juniper cannot agree to
`stipulate to Finjan’s proposed language. As noted during our meet and confer on May 30, 2018, we do not think it is possible for
`any individual assisting in defending a patent in an inter partes reexamination to also not be “directly or indirectly drafting,
`amending, advising, or otherwise affecting the scope of patent claims.” An individual who has access to highly confidential
`information would be able to narrow the scope of patent claims in a particular way that incorporates the highly confidential
`technical information they’ve reviewed, to the detriment of Juniper’s interests.
`
`Juniper cannot think of any language that would both address the concerns described above and allow individuals with access to
`highly confidential information to participate in an IPR. Accordingly, Juniper does not agree to any deviation from the Model
`Protective Order that governs this case. See Patent Local Rule 2‐2.
`
`We understand that the Cisco ‘633 IPR (IPR2018‐00391) has been instituted and that Kramer Levin attorneys, including James
`Hannah and Michael Lee, are counsel of record for Finjan since the IPR’s preliminary proceedings. Please explain how Finjan has
`complied with the Protective Order provisions regarding the prosecution bar despite Kramer Levin’s involvement in the Cisco
`‘633 IPR, for which the POPR was filed March 28, 2018. Please also confirm that Kramer Levin will withdraw as counsel in the
`Cisco ‘633 IPR.

`Subject: Finjan v. Juniper - Prosecution Bar
`
`Josh,
`
`
`As we discussed on our call last week, Finjan proposes that the parties stipulate to compromise language regarding the
`prosecution bar provided below.
`
`
`8. PROSECUTION BAR
`Absent written consent from the Producing Party, any individual who receives access to “HIGHLY
`CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – SOURCE CODE”
`information shall not be involved in the prosecution of patents or patent applications relating to systems that are
`accused of infringement in this action, including without limitation the patents asserted in this action and any
`patent or application claiming priority to or otherwise related to the patents asserted in this action, before any
`foreign or domestic agency, including the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“the Patent Office”).
`
`
`For purposes of this paragraph, “prosecution” includes directly or indirectly drafting, amending, advising, or
`otherwise affecting the scope of patent claims. To avoid any doubt, “prosecution” as used in this paragraph does
`not include representing a party challenging a patent before a domestic or foreign agency (including, but not
`limited to, a reissue protest, ex parte reexamination or inter partes reexamination). Furthermore, nothing in this
`section precludes any individual who receives access to “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES
`ONLY” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – SOURCE CODE” from assisting in defending a patent in an inter
`partes reexaminations, so long as the individual does not take part in drafting or amending any claims in the
`inter partes reexamination.
`
`
`
`Please let us know your thoughts on this language and when you are available to meet and confer.
`
`Sincerely,
`Kris
