`
`PERSONALWEB’S STATEMENT
`
`At issue is whether the current causes of action against the Website Operators (and counter-
`
`claim pleaded in the alternative against Amazon) involving CloudFront and certain specific subsys-
`
`tems of S3 are barred by a prior action brought by PersonalWeb against Amazon and Dropbox in the
`
`EDTX. involving other subsystems of S3. More specifically for purposes of the current discovery
`
`dispute, PersonalWeb seeks discovery confirming that a predicate for claims preclusion is lacking, i.e.,
`
`that during the period of infringement of January 8, 2012 to December 26, 2016 (“Infringement Pe-
`
`riod”), Amazon was not “contractually obligated to indemnify defendants [website operators who
`
`were customers of Amazon S3] for any losses stemming from a finding of infringement,” SpeedTrack
`
`v. Office Depot, 2014 WL 1813292 at *6, May 6, 2014. Amazon’s summary judgment motion set for
`
`hearing on February 7, 2019 recognizes the foundational nature of this issue, with its circular argu-
`
`ment, the ipse dixit in its moving papers that “Amazon is in privity with its customers …[because]
`
`Amazon is indemnifying its customers in this case.” [In re PersonalWeb Technologies, Dkt. 315, Am-
`
`azon Mot. at 9:1-2.]
`
`From publicly available (on-line) Amazon records, the earliest time that Amazon ever had any
`
`contractual obligation to indemnify S3 customers for patent infringement claims asserted against Am-
`
`azon customers, is June 28, 2017. That date is after the Infringement Period. Emphasizing the point,
`
`Amazon’s consistent objection position to all of PersonalWeb’s propounded discovery is that Amazon
`
`only recognizes the time period January 8, 2012 through December 26, 2016 as triggering a disclo-
`
`sure/discovery obligation. For example, Amazon’s response to document requests propounded on it,
`
`seeking indemnification-related documents and information is, inter alia, that:
`
`“Amazon objects to the definition of “Indemnified” or “Indemnification” as vague and ambig-
`
`uous, overly broad, unduly burdensome, and failing to describe the information sought with
`
`reasonable particularity. Amazon will interpret this term to refer to the legal concept of in-
`
`demnification. Amazon will interpret this term to refer to the time period of January 8, 2012
`
`to December 26, 2016.” [Amazon’s Resp. to RFPs Set One 3:16-20.]
`
`Amazon has uniformly applied this January 8, 2012-December 26, 2016 time period as a limitation to
`
`nearly every written discovery request that PersonalWeb has propounded. See e.g. Suppl. Resp. to

`
`RFA 2 and S.R. 1; Resp. to RFP 3; Obj. to 30(b)(6) Notice, Topic 1(a). Clearly June 28, 2017 post-
`
`dates the Infringement Period.
`
`PersonalWeb had sought to take a representative (30(b)(6) deposition on indemnification-re-
`
`lated topics, among other topics. Amazon had insisted that this deposition occur last Wednesday,
`
`December 5, 2018. During the representative’s deposition he indicated no knowledge on any level
`
`with any indemnification-related issues.
`
`In meet and confers leading to this submission PersonalWeb had suggested as a compromise
`
`to a continued 30(b)(6) deposition on indemnification obligation matters, that instead, Amazon simply
`
`stipulate that (a) not until June 28, 2017 was Amazon contractually obligated to indemnify website
`
`operator customers of S3 for claims of patent infringement, and (b) prior to that time no such contrac-
`
`tual obligation existed between Amazon and its S3 customers requiring Amazon to indemnify its S3
`
`customers. Amazon refuses.
`
`That Amazon has just yesterday served additional supplemental interrogatory responses indi-
`
`cating that there exists an Amazon Customer Agreement of June 28, 2017 which adds a section to the
`
`effect that Amazon is purportedly “improving the terms of the AWS Customer Agreement related to
`
`intellectual property rights” including “offering uncapped IP infringement protection” is not respon-
`
`sive to the reason for the dispute, i.e., that PersonalWeb ought to be permitted to take a 30(b)(6) rep-
`
`resentative’s deposition that sought information on the circumstances under which Amazon agreed to
`
`indemnify and the facts underlying Amazon’s agreement to provide said indemnifications, see, Notice
`
`of Taking Deposition and in particular, Responses and Objections of Amazon.Com, Inc. and Amazon
`
`Web Services, Inc. to Notice of Taking Deposition, topics and responses to Indemnification, Topic 4,
`
`at 26-33, attached hereto as Exhibit 1 (said discovery is specifically at issue). PersonalWeb never
`
`agreed that by Amazon acknowledging what its public documents already demonstrate, i.e., that there
`
`were material changes to Amazon indemnification policies in June, 2017, that would moot the discov-
`
`ery issues.
`
`Amazon argues that the stipulation PersonalWeb seeks is legally impermissible. But Amazon
`
`overlooks that the proposed stipulation represents an effort to avoid another deposition session, where
`
`inquiry would be made of a corporate representative, inter alia, (1) What do you mean by “uncapped

`IP infringement protection”? (2) Prior to June 28, 2017 did Amazon offer “capped” IP infringement
`
`protection, and if so, what did “capped” IP infringement protection mean? (3) Prior to June 28, 2017
`
`did Amazon offer any contractual infringement protection for patent infringement claims, to website

`

`
`2016, including indemnification extending to claims of infringement outside of Amazon systems?
`
`The parties have met and conferred, telephonically and by e-mail, concerning the indemnifi-
`
`cation issue, on numerous instances beginning in the third week of November, 2018. The proposed
`
`order filed concurrently (a) addresses the deposition issue, (b) further extends the deadline for re-
`
`solving discovery disputes if the deposition is ordered and also given sub-(c) below, and (c) ad-
`
`vances the date of discovery responses (RFA’s and Interrogatories served on December 7, 2018), at-
`
`tached as Exhibit 2, given the present compressed time period. Amazon wrongly claims no tele-
`
`phone meet and confers, despite knowing to the contrary and refusing to return multiple, recent calls.

`
`
`This discovery dispute is related to Amazon’s motion for summary judgment that Personal-
`
`Web’s claims are barred by claim preclusion and the Kessler doctrine. (Dkt. No. 306 at 1; Dkt. No.
`
`315.) Amazon has already provided all the non-privileged indemnification-related information that
`
`PersonalWeb could possibly need in responding to Amazon’s motion: (1) it produced the AWS cus-
`
`tomer agreement, (2) identified the produced agreement as the one pursuant to which it is indemnifying
`
`its customers, (3) identified the customers it is indemnifying and detailed the terms of that indemnifi-
`
`cation, (4) specified when the first indemnification demand was made in connection with Personal-
`
`Web’s claims, and (5) identified the date, June 28, 2017, when the indemnification provision was
`
`added to the customer agreement. (Exs. 3-4.) PersonalWeb claims it needs additional discovery to
`
`confirm that “Amazon was not contractually obligated to indemnify” its customers during “January 8,
`
`2012 to December 26, 2016.” But it does not explain why the identification of the agreement pursuant
`
`to which Amazon is indemnifying its customers, the date when the indemnification provision was
`
`added to that agreement, and all the terms of Amazon’s indemnification, are insufficient. Nor does it

`
`explain why information such as whether indemnification is capped or uncapped is relevant to the
`
`claim preclusion motion or to any issue in the case. It is not. And in any event, the AWS agreement
`
`does not specify any indemnification caps.
`
`It is clear from the language of PersonalWeb’s proposed stipulation that what PersonalWeb
`
`actually wants is an admission from Amazon that PersonalWeb’s position on a disputed legal issue is
`
`correct—it wants Amazon “to admit [PersonalWeb’s] interpretation of a disputed provision of the
`
`[AWS customer] contract.” Gem Acquisitionco, LLC v. Sorenson Group Holdings, LLC, C 09-01484
`
`SI, 2010 WL 1340562, at *3 (N.D. Cal. Apr. 5, 2010). The RFAs PersonalWeb just served on De-
`
`cember 7, the responses to which it wants to expedite, confirm that. (Ex. 5.) Such requests, and similar
`
`deposition topics, are not the proper subject of discovery. See id. (“legal conclusions are not a proper
`
`subject of a request for admission”); see also Franklin v. Ryko Corp., No. CV 07-2921-VBF (JTL),
`
`2008 WL 11334493, at *4 (C.D. Cal. Oct. 22, 2008) (“The topic that plaintiff has identified in his Rule
`
`30(b)(6) notice sets forth, in essence, plaintiff’s legal theory. Therefore, plaintiff appears to be seeking
`
`from defendant a witness who will merely affirm the theory underlying plaintiff’s claims. As such,
`
`the request is improper.”).
`
`16
`
`
`
`Even setting aside PersonalWeb’s incorrect characterization of what it is accusing in its current

`
`
`cases and what it accused in its prior lawsuit against Amazon and Dropbox, PersonalWeb’s position
`
`above includes several other mischaracterizations of the law and relevant facts. PersonalWeb incor-
`
`rectly argues that a “predicate” for Amazon’s claim preclusion defense is that Amazon was contrac-
`
`tually obligated to indemnify its customers during the period of alleged infringement. As explained
`
`in Amazon’s motion, the customer defendants, as users of the accused S3 technology, are in privity
`
`with Amazon—regardless of whether they are being indemnified. (See Dkt. No. 315 at pp. 8-9.) Am-
`
`azon’s indemnification of its customers is a separate and independent basis for privity; it is not a nec-
`
`essary predicate for the relief sought by the motion. (See id.) Moreover, contrary to PersonalWeb’s
`
`assertion, whether Amazon became “contractually obligated” to indemnify its customers before or
`
`after the expiration of PersonalWeb’s patents is legally irrelevant. Indemnification must, by its nature,
`
`be tied to a particular claim. The AWS agreement does not provide any temporal limitation on the
`
`indemnification obligation; it merely states that Amazon “will defend [its customers] against any third-

`
`party claim alleging that the Services infringe or misappropriate that third party’s intellectual property
`
`rights”—the very claims PersonalWeb makes in its lawsuits against Amazon customers. Both Ama-
`
`zon and the customers, the parties to the agreement, interpreted the provision that way with respect to
`
`PersonalWeb’s claims, as the customers requested indemnification under the agreement and Amazon
`
`agreed to provide it in response. And, in any event, for purposes of claim preclusion, the indemnifi-
`
`cation obligation need only exist at the time of the second case, and not necessarily during the period
`
`of alleged infringement. Indeed, in Speedtrack, the court found that a supplier was in privity with its
`
`customers for purposes of claim preclusion because it “is contractually obligated to indemnify [cus-
`
`tomer] defendants for any losses stemming from a finding of infringement,” i.e. it was contractually
`
`obligated to indemnify the customers at the time of the second lawsuit. SpeedTrack, 2014 WL
`
`1813292 at *6 (emphasis added). And, finally, contrary to PersonalWeb’s contention, it has never
`
`requested in any of the parties’ prior conferences that Amazon agree to the stipulation it proposes
`
`above. Instead, during the parties’ last conference on the subject, the parties agreed that in lieu of a
`
`deposition, Amazon would supplement its interrogatory response to identify the date of the first de-
`
`mand for indemnity by any customer defendant and the date when the indemnification provision was
`
`added to the AWS customer agreement (Amazon had already provided the other indemnification in-
`
`formation by this time). Amazon served that supplemental response on December 10 as it agreed to
`
`do. PersonalWeb went back on its agreement and decided to file this motion, in which for the first
`
`time, and without any telephonic conference, it identified the specific additional facts it purportedly
`
`needs, requested the extension of the discovery deadline, demanded expedited responses to the dis-
`
`covery served last Friday, and requested a continued deposition to take place before December 21.
`
`The Court should deny PersonalWeb’s motion in light of the compromise agreement the parties
`
`already reached and with which Amazon abided, PersonalWeb’s failure to comply with the procedures
`
`of the Court for raising discovery disputes (see July 16, 2018 Civil Scheduling and Discovery Standing
`
`Order), and PersonalWeb’s inability to explain the relevance of the information it seeks.

`
`I declare as follows:
`
`PROOF OF SERVICE
`
` I
`
` am employed in the County of Los Angeles, State of California. I am over the age of 18 and
`not a party to the within action. My business address is 15260 Ventura Blvd., 20th Floor, Sherman
`Oaks, California 91403. On December 11, 2018, I served the documents described as: JOINT
`STATEMENT REGARDING DISCOVERY DISPUTE RELATING TO MOTION FOR
`SUMMARY JUDGMENT (DKT. NO. 315) on the interested parties in this action as follows:
`
`
`
`
`
`
`TO BE SERVED BY THE COURT VIA NOTICE OF ELECTRONIC FILING
`(“NEF”) pursuant to FRCP, Rule 5(b)(2)(E) and JPML Rule 4.1 (Pursuant to con-
`trolling General Order(s) and Local Rule(s) (“LR”), the foregoing document will be
`served by the court via NEF and hyperlink to the document to counsel at the email ad-
`dress(s) listed on Case Docket 5:18-md-02834-BLF).
`
`BY U.S. MAIL: (SEE ATTACHED SERVICE LIST) By depositing for collection
`and mailing in the ordinary course of business. I am “readily familiar” with the firm’s
`practice of collection and processing correspondence for mailing. Under that practice
`it would be deposited with U.S. Postal Service on the same day with postage thereon
`fully prepaid at Sherman Oaks, California in the ordinary course of business. I am
`aware that on motion of the party served, service is presumed invalid if postal cancel-
`lation date or postage meter date is more than one day after date of deposit for mailing
`on affidavit.
`
`
`I declare that I am employed in the office of a member of the bar of this court at whose direc-
`
`tion the service was made. I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States of
`America that the above is true and correct. Executed on December 11, 2018, at Sherman Oaks, Cali-
`fornia.
