`RE: OpenTV v. Apple, Case No. 15-2008 - Meet and confer
`
`Dear Clarence,  
`
`  
`Thank you for your message. We have no conflict with a September 15 hearing date. We are still investigating whether 
`the proposed exhibits may be filed publicly—we understand that Apple will file the papers under seal if it does not 
`receive a response before filing its paper. Regarding Apple’s motion, as noted during our call, since OpenTV has not 
`sought leave to amend its Patent L.R. 3‐2 production, we consider Apple’s motion as to the ‘740 and ‘169 patents 
`premature. As also noted, we would be surprised if Apple can claim it was unaware of the ‘736 invention disclosure, 
`which was submitted during the prosecution of the ‘736 patent and served with OpenTV’s Patent L.R. 3‐2 production. 
`We will, however, address whatever arguments Apple makes in its motion.  
`
`  
`Sincerely,  
`Elizabeth

`Subject: RE: OpenTV v. Apple, Case No. 15-2008 - Meet and confer

`Dear Elizabeth, 

`Thank you for meeting and conferring with us on Thursday.   

`As we discussed, Apple’s intends to move to strike all qualifying language (e.g., “at least as early as”) in OpenTV’s Rule 3‐
`1(f) and 3‐2(b) disclosures and to preclude OpenTV from relying on conception and reduction to practice dates, and 
`supporting documentation, other than what was specifically identified in its October 15, 2015 Patent L.R. 3‐1(f) and 3‐
`2(b) disclosures. 

`We understand that OpenTV will oppose Apple’s motion.   We understand that you are not aware of an OpenTV conflict 
`with a  September 15, 2016 hearing date, but you planned to check with other members of your team to confirm.  If we 
`do not hear from you by the end of the day tomorrow (Tuesday) about a conflict with September 15, we will assume the 
`date is acceptable.

`Case 5:15-cv-02008-EJD Document 91-5 Filed 04/27/16 Page 3 of 5
`
`We understand that you are still investigating whether OpenTV will agree that Apple may file redacted exhibits, rather 
`than filing a motion to seal that would require OpenTV to file a supporting declaration.  Please let us know by the end of 
`the day tomorrow (Tuesday) whether OpenTV agrees that Apple may file the excerpted exhibits as public versions.  

`To summarize the points we discussed on our call, Apple disagrees with OpenTV’s assertion that Patent L.R. 3‐1(f) does 
`not require disclosure of conception dates.  OpenTV did not identify any earlier conception date for the ’740 Patent or 
`the ’736 Patent in its Patent L.R. 3‐1(f) disclosure, and we understand that OpenTV still has not decided whether it will 
`assert an earlier date for the ’740 Patent.   

`We also disagree with your assertion that OpenTV complied with Patent L.R. 3‐2(b).  Patent L.R. 3‐2(b) required OpenTV 
`to produce “all documents evidencing the conception, reduction to practice, design, and development of each claimed 
`invention, which were created on or before the date of application for the patent‐in‐suit or the priority date identified 
`pursuant to Patent L.R. 3‐1(f), whichever is earlier” and L.R. 3‐2 required OpenTV to identify by production number the 
`documents belonging to category 3‐2(b).  OpenTV has suggested it may rely on a June 2001 conception date for the ’169 
`Patent and an 
`conception date for the ’740 Patent.  On our call, you confirmed that OpenTV has produced 
`no documents to support either date, OpenTV has not yet decided whether it will waive privilege to the June 2001 
`document to support the earlier conception date for the ’169 Patent, and OpenTV has not yet identified documents 
`supporting  an earlier conception date for the ’740 Patent.   

`Also, on February 26, OpenTV suggested for the first time that it may assert a September 14, 1995 conception date for 
`the ’736 Patent based on a publicly available document in the ’736 Patent file history.  But OpenTV’s  Patent L.R. 3‐1(f) 
`disclosure did not identify the September 14, 1995 date, and OpenTV’s Patent L.R. 3‐2(b) disclosure did not identify the 
`file history as the supporting documentation for the a conception date.  Instead, OpenTV identified the file history 
`simply as a file history under Patent L.R. 3‐2(c). 

`If we have misunderstood any of OpenTV’s positions, please let us know. 

`Sincerely, 

`Clarence

`
`During our call, please let us know what Apple is proposing to move to strike and the basis for any such motion. As set 
`forth in the Patent Local Rules and as the parties briefed in Apple I, Patent L.R. 3‐1(f) does not require OpenTV to 
`disclose “conception dates” as part of its infringement contentions, only “priority dates.” Patent L.R. 3‐1(f) (“For any 
`patent that claims priority to an earlier application, the priority date to which each asserted claim allegedly is entitled.”) 
`OpenTV has not changed any of its priority dates from the dates first identified in its infringement contentions. Patent 
`Local Rule 3‐2(b) required OpenTV to produce documents that evidence a conception date earlier than the priority date, 
`which we did. OpenTV has not sought to supplement its production, but if we determine it is appropriate to supplement 
`OpenTV’s production, as we previously informed you, we will seek leave to do so. 
`
`  
`Regarding the documents attached to your email, we are reviewing them and will let you know our position as soon as 
`possible on filing them under seal.

`
`  
`Dear Elizabeth, 
`
`  
`On Friday, April 1, 2016, or soon thereafter, Apple intends to file a motion to preclude OpenTV from relying on 
`conception dates other than those identified in its October 15, 2015 Patent L.R. 3‐1(f) disclosure and to strike language 
`to the contrary in OpenTV’s disclosures and discovery responses.  We would like to have a meet and confer to 
`discuss.  We are generally available tomorrow before 12:30 p.m. and after 2:00 p.m., on Thursday after 1:30 p.m., and 
`on Friday after 4:00 p.m. (all times Pacific). 
`
`  
`We intend to attach to the motion several exhibits that are documents that OpenTV has marked Attorneys’ Eyes 
`Only.  We have removed significant portions of the exhibits that are irrelevant to the motion, and we suspect you may 
`not want to file the remaining portions under seal.  Please let us know if we can file all of the attached exhibits 
`publicly.  If you would like these exhibits sealed, then please let us know which exhibits you would like filed under seal 
`and we will file them under seal, and you will need to file a supporting declaration under N.D. Cal. L.R. 79‐5(e).  If we do 
`not hear back from you on this issue by Friday, then we will proceed with filing under seal the exhibits that you have 
`marked AEO. 
`
`  
`Thank you,
