`
`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.

`We’re working to provide you with the PDF file that Finjan’s expert generated. In order to have a productive meet and

`
`
`Also, to the extent we have a meet and confer we would also like to discuss Finjan’s ongoing violation of the court’s

`court order.

`Monday (10/24)? Relatedly, we did not receive your availability for a meet and confer last week and therefore

`inspect the computer sometime between Wednesday (10/28) and Friday (10/30). If, however, Qualys will not permit
`further inspection, please provide your availability on Tuesday (10/27) or Wednesday (10/28) for a meet and confer.

`
`Ryan,
`
`
`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
`requested file this week. It will not take long.
`
`
`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
`(particularly given your recent interrogatory responses), and if you are objecting to any further inspection, we
`need to get this before the Court.
`
`
`Ryan O’Connor, copied on this message, will be handling this issue going forward.

`
`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.
`
`
`Thanks,
`Jason

`
`
`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

`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
