`
`reiterating SonicWall’s understanding that Appendix H-3 should be withdrawn, along with
`Appendices H-1 and H-5.
`Attached as Exhibit V is a true and correct copy of an email chain dated July 23,
`23.
`2020 at 12:12 P.M. from David Dotson to James Hannah stating that due to Finjan’s failure to
`respond to the issues SonicWall raised in its July 13, 2020 email, including confirmation regarding
`the withdrawn appendices, SonicWall would file a motion to strike.
`Attached as Exhibit O is a true and correct copy of an email chain dated July 23,
`24.
`2020 at 5:19 P.M. from James Hannah to David Dotson providing revised Appendices H-6 and H-7,
`but failing to address the withdrawal of Appendix H-3 (or Appendices H-1 and H-5).
`Attached as Exhibit S is a true and correct copy of an email chain dated July 23, 2020
`25.
`at 5:21 P.M. from David Dotson to James Hannah again requesting confirmation that Appendix H-3
`would be withdrawn, in addition to Appendices H-1 and H-5.
`Attached as Exhibit U is a true and correct copy of an email chain dated July 24,
`26.
`2020 at 3:48 P.M. from James Hannah to David Dotson, in which Mr. Hannah took the position that
`that Appendix H-3 only needed to be revised to address the issues raised by SonicWall, and did not
`need to be withdrawn. Again, Mr. Hannah did not contest that Appendices H-1 and H-5 had been
`withdrawn.
`Attached as Exhibit P is a true and correct copy of an email chain dated July 24,
`27.
`2020 at 8:20 P.M. from James Hannah to David Dotson providing a revised Appendix H-3. Again,
`Mr. Hannah did not dispute that Appendices H-1 and H-5 had been withdrawn.
`28.
`Despite repeated communications between the parties regarding Finjan’s
`infringement contentions for the ’154 Patent, including many referencing Finjan’s withdrawal of
`Appendices H-1 and H-5, at no point did Finjan correct or dispute SonicWall’s understanding that
`Appendices H-1 and H-5 had been withdrawn – as it did with Appendix H-3 – and at no point did
`Finjan provide further revised Appendices H-1 and H-5 addressing the issues SonicWall raised with
`respect to those contentions.
