`
`
`Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 26 and 33, Plaintiff Finjan, Inc. (“Finjan” or “Plaintiff”) responds to
`Defendant, Qualys, Inc.’s (“Qualys” or “Defendant”) Third Set of Interrogatories Nos. 10-12
`(“Interrogatories”). Finjan makes these objections and responses herein (collectively “Responses”)
`based on its current knowledge, understanding, and belief as to the facts and information reasonably
`available to it as of the date of the Responses.
`Additional discovery and investigation may lead to additions to, changes in, or modifications of
`these Responses. The Responses, therefore, are given without prejudice to Finjan’s right to
`supplement these Responses pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(e), or to provide subsequently discovered
`information and to introduce such subsequently discovered information at the time of any trial or
`proceeding in this action.
`
`GENERAL OBJECTIONS
`1.
`Finjan hereby incorporates by reference each and every general objection set forth
`below into each and every specific Response. From time to time, a specific Response may repeat a
`general objection for emphasis or for some other reason. The failure to include a general objection in a
`specific Response shall not be interpreted as a waiver of that general objection to that Response.
`2.
`Finjan objects to each and every Interrogatory, Definition, and Instruction to the extent
`that they are vague, ambiguous, unintelligible, or compound.
`3.
`Finjan objects to each and every Interrogatory, Definition, and Instruction to the extent
`that they are overly broad, unduly burdensome, seek information not relevant to the claim or defense of
`any party, and are not proportional to the needs of this case.
`4.
`Finjan objects to each and every Interrogatory, Definition, and Instruction to the extent
`that they are not reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible information.
`5.
`Finjan objects to each and every Interrogatory, Definition and Instruction to the extent
`they are not reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence because they are not
`properly limited in time.

`
`Finjan objects to each and every Interrogatory, Definition, and Instruction to the extent that
`
`they are unduly burdensome and oppressive on the grounds that they purport to require Finjan to search its
`
`facilities and inquire of its employees other than those facilities and employees that would reasonably be
`
`expected to have responsive information. Finjan’s Responses and productions are based upon: (1) a search
`
`of facilities and files that could reasonably be expected to contain responsive information and (2) inquiries
`
`of Finjan’s employees and/or representatives who could reasonably be expected to possess responsive
`
`information.
`
`21.
`
`Finjan objects to each and every Definition, Instruction, and Interrogatory to the extent it is
`
`compound and/or contains multiple subparts. Finjan will count each subpart as a separate interrogatory
`
`pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 33(a). Finjan will not respond to interrogatories in excess of
`
`the allotted number of interrogatories stipulated by the parties in the joint case management statement (Dkt.
`
`23).
`
`22.
`
`Finjan’s written responses and production of documents are not intended to waive, and do
`
`not constitute waiver of, any objection that Finjan may have to the admissibility, authenticity, competency,
`
`relevance, or materiality of any documents produced or referred to in response to an Interrogatory. For any
`
`and all written responses and production of documents, Finjan reserves all objections or other questions
`
`regarding the admissibility, authenticity, competency, relevance, or materiality of any documents produced
`
`or referred to in response to an Interrogatory, as evidence in this Litigation or any other proceeding, action,
`
`or trial.
`
`23.
`
`Finjan’s written responses and production of documents are based upon information and
`
`writings available to and located by its attorneys as of service of these Responses. Finjan has not
`
`completed its investigation of the facts relating to this case, has not completed discovery in this action, and
`
`has not completed preparation for trial. All the information supplied and documents and things produced
`
`are based only on such information and documents that are reasonably available and specifically known to
`
`Finjan and its attorneys as of the date of service of these Responses. Therefore, Finjan’s written responses
`
`and production of documents are without prejudice to its right to supplement and/or amend its written

`instructions.
`2.
`Finjan objects to Defendant’s Definitions of the terms “Finjan,” “You,” and “Your,”

`the extent that they call for a legal conclusion or seek documents or information protected from
`discovery by the attorney-client privilege, the work product doctrine, or any other applicable law,
`privilege, doctrine or immunity. Finjan further objects to these definitions, and to each Interrogatory
`that incorporates any of these terms, to the extent they include entities and persons over whom Finjan

`any requirement or obligation greater or different than those imposed by the Federal Rules of Civil
`Procedure, the Local Rules of this Court, and/or orders of the Court governing these proceedings.

`Finjan objects to each of Defendant’s Instructions to the extent that they are they are
`overbroad, unduly burdensome and not reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible

`Subject to and without waiving its general objections and objections to Definitions and
`Instructions set forth above, each of which is specifically incorporated into the specific Responses
`contained below, Finjan hereby responds to Defendant’s Interrogatories as follows:

`Identify every difference between the Canceled ’305 Claims and the Asserted ’305
`Claims that you contend materially alters the question of invalidity and provide a complete explanation
`for how that difference does so.
`RESPONSE TO INTERROGATORY NO. 10:
`Finjan incorporates by reference its General Objections as if fully set forth herein. Plaintiff
`objects to this Interrogatory to the extent it is not proportional to the needs of the case, especially
`considering the parties’ relative access to relevant information, the parties’ resources, the importance
`of the discovery in resolving the issues, and whether the burden or expense of the proposed discovery
`outweighs its likely benefit. Plaintiff further objects to this Interrogatory to the extent it seeks
`information within Defendants’ possession, custody, or control, or to the extent it seeks information in
`the public domain. Plaintiff objects to this Interrogatory to the extent it assumes or mischaracterizes
`facts. Plaintiff objects to this Interrogatory to the extent it seeks information protected by the attorney-
`client privilege, the work product doctrine, the common interest doctrine, or any other applicable law,
`privilege, doctrine, or immunity. Plaintiff objects to this Interrogatory to the extent it is compound and

`than or different from those imposed by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the Local Rules of this

`Case 4:18-cv-07229-YGR Document 132-4 Filed 11/05/20 Page 12 of 49
`
`
`Finjan’s investigation into this matter, including discovery, is ongoing and Finjan will comply
`with Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(e) should additional information become known to it.
`INTERROGATORY NO. 11:
`For each Asserted Claim of each Asserted Patent, provide your complete factual basis for why
`the prior art reference(s) identified in Qualys’s Invalidity Contentions for that Asserted Claim, alone or
`in combination, do not anticipate or render obvious that Asserted Claim. A complete response
`includes, but is not limited to, an identification of each prior art reference along with the limitation(s)
`you contend is/are not disclosed by that reference.
`RESPONSE TO INTERROGATORY NO. 11:
`Plaintiff incorporates by reference its General Objections as if fully set forth herein. Plaintiff
`objects to this Interrogatory to the extent it is overbroad and unduly burdensome as Defendants have
`yet to reasonably narrow their asserted prior art and invalidity theories in this case. Plaintiff objects to
`this Interrogatory to the extent it assumes or mischaracterizes facts. Plaintiff objects to this
`Interrogatory to the extent that it seeks information beyond Plaintiff’s actual knowledge, custody, or
`control. Plaintiff objects to this Interrogatory to the extent it seeks information protected by the
`attorney-client privilege, the work product doctrine, the common interest doctrine, or any other
`applicable law, privilege, doctrine, or immunity. Plaintiff objects to this Interrogatory to the extent it
`shifts Defendant’s burden in contesting validity of the asserted patents to Plaintiff. Plaintiff objects to
`this Interrogatory to the extent it calls for a legal conclusion. Plaintiff objects to this Interrogatory as
`premature to the extent it calls for subsequent discovery in this action and/or expert testimony that will
`be provided according to deadlines set by the Court. Plaintiff objects to this Interrogatory to the extent
`it seeks to impose any requirement or discovery obligation greater than or different from those
`imposed by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the Local Rules of this Court, or orders of the Court
`governing these proceedings.
`Plaintiff objects to this Interrogatory to the extent it is compound and contains multiple discrete
`subparts and is, therefore, overbroad, unduly burdensome, and oppressive for asking Plaintiff in a
`single interrogatory response to address thousands of pages of invalidity contentions, more than 400

`
`different specifically alleged prior art references and/or technologies, myriad anticipation and
`obviousness combinations, and seeking discovery into multiple discrete topics. Plaintiff further objects
`to this Interrogatory as unduly burdensome, overly broad, and as vague and ambiguous, particularly as
`to the phrases “the prior art reference(s) identified in Qualys’s Invalidity Contentions for that Asserted
`Claim, alone or in combination” because that term could be construed to encompass an unlimited
`number of different combinations. For example, there are over 160,000 combinations of two reference
`and over 64,000,000 possible combinations of three references. If Finjan were to provide just one page
`of response as to each possible combination, the length of its interrogatory response would approach
`2,000 copies of the final print edition of Encyclopedia Britannica (32,640 pages spanning 32 volumes).
`Plaintiff objects to this Interrogatory to the extent Qualys has exceeded the maximum permitted
`number of discrete interrogatories and subparts.
`Subject to and without waiving the forgoing general and specific objections, including that
`Qualys has far exceeded the allotment of interrogatories and that Finjan is, therefore, under no
`obligation to respond to this Interrogatory, Finjan responds as follows:
`The Asserted Patents are presumed valid under 35 U.S.C. § 282. Qualys has failed to provide
`clear and convincing evidence that any of its identified prior art references are prior art to the Asserted
`Patents or teach explicitly or implicitly the claim elements of the claims asserted in this matter.
`Moreover, Qualys, for its obviousness theories, has failed to provide any motivation to combine.
`By way of example, and not limitation, the prior art references cited by Qualys variously fail to
`disclose at least the following claim limitations:
` The “inspector,” “generating by the inspector a first Downloadable security profile that
`identifies suspicious code in the received Downloadable,” “linking by the inspector the first
`Downloadable security profile to the Downloadable before a web server makes the
`Downloadable available to web clients,” “memory for storing a first rule set,” “first content
`inspection engine,” “for using the first rule set to generate a Downloadable security profile,”
`“for linking the first Downloadable security profile to the Downloadable before a web server
`makes the Downloadable available to web clients,” or “a computer-readable storage medium

`accessible from the security profile cache without the need to perform said scanning” or
`“wherein the file IDs are hash values of files” elements as recited in one or more of the asserted
`claims of US 7,418,731 (“the ‘731 Patent”);
` The “a rule-based content scanner,” “network traffic probe,” “selectively diverting incoming
