`Re: Finjan/Qualys: inspection computer / corrupted file
`
`Ryan,
`
` I
`
` believe we’ve complied with the meet and confer requirements. And to be clear, we’re not arguing that Finjan violated
`its duty to meet and confer. Nevertheless, if you or someone else representing Finjan wants to have another meet and
`confer, I could speak at tomorrow at 10am.
`
`Also, given that you no longer want to file a letter brief, we’re not planning to send you our section. If Finjan changes its
`mind again, please let us know and we will send you our section.
`
`Thank you,
`
`Ryan

`
`Magistrate Judge Hixson’s discovery standing order appears to require a meet and confer between lead counsel before
`requesting a conference. Finjan’s lead counsel (Roger Denning; cc’d) is available between now and 1:30, 2‐3, and after
`3:30 PT. Can you please confirm whether Qualys’s lead counsel is available during one of those windows?

`
`In order to have a productive meet and confer, we need to know at least the following: Which discovery requests do
`you intend to move on? Which accused product does your expert want to inspect? Why does your expert require a new
`inspection given that the code was available between August 8, 2019 and October 1, 2020?
`
`If Finjan is refusing to provide this basic information, then it is clear that Finjan isn’t even attempting to meet and confer
`in good‐faith. Regardless, I would be willing to meet and confer.

`Finjan has been and remains willing to discuss its compliance with the Court’s discovery order. Can you please explain

`production agreements with the third parties whose confidential information is contained in the documents Qualys
`seeks.

`So far all we’ve asked to have our consultant come in an inspect the file that was timely printed and that was
`corrupted when produced. Please promptly let us know if you can allow our consultant in to inspect the timely

`
`Separately, we do request a meet and confer on this issue (if it is still a dispute), and the other issues below.
`We intend to have our experts come and inspect the code and its metadata before their reports are due

`Hi, Ryan.
`
`I don’t know what happened before, but I do want to make sure we understand your position:
`
`
`1) Are you refusing all access to the inspection computer at WSGR (whether connected to Qualys’
`network or not) or
`2) Are you refusing any further production from the computers at Qualys (I understand the inspection
`computer connects via a VPN)?
`3) Are you refusing both 1) and 2)?
`
`
`
`At least initially, all we need to do is look at the file you say Finjan’s expert corrupted.

`
`
`Jason,
`
`I believe that the “source file” was the entirety of a Qualys Wiki site, which comprised a massive number of
`webpages. Your expert attempted to skirt the parties’ agreement regarding an inspection of the Wiki by printing the
`entirety of what he was inspecting. The result of his improper conduct was a PDF so massive that it was corrupt. We
`have given you the exact file he generated. As such, the inspection you propose would effectively be an inspection of an
`entire Qualys Wiki. For that reason and, perhaps more importantly, considering that fact discovery is closed, we are not
`willing to permit another inspection.
`

`Ryan

`
`Hi, Chris.
`
`We’d like to inspect the corrupted file on the inspection computer that was recently produced (as QUALYS02011869),
`and re‐print it this week.
`
`Please let us know if we could inspect it some time between Wednesday‐Friday; it shouldn’t be a full day inspection and
`our only delay might be locating the source file.
