`Subject: RE: [EXTERNAL] RE: Finjan v. Juniper - Prosecution Bar

`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.

`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

`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

`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

`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
