`As required by Federal Rule of Civil Procedure Rule 34(b), documents must be pro-
`duced (a) in the manner in which they are kept in the ordinary course of business, or (b) organized
`and labeled to correspond with the requests set forth below.
`3.
`Electronic records and computerized information must be produced in an intelligible
`format or together with a description of the system from which they were derived sufficient to
`permit rendering the records and information intelligible.
`4.
`Selection of documents from files and other sources and numbering of such docu-
`ments shall be performed in such a manner as to ensure that the source and order of each document
`may be determined, if necessary.
`5.
`File folders with tabs or labels or directories of files identifying documents must be
`produced intact with such documents.
`6.
`Documents attached to each other shall not be separated.
`7.
`In responding to these requests, PersonalWeb should produce hard-copy documents
`as they are kept in their original condition (e.g., documents that were stapled, clipped, or otherwise
`fastened together should be produced in that form).
`8.
`If any information requested is claimed to be privileged, immune from discovery or
`otherwise not discoverable, please provide all information falling within the scope of the request
`which is discoverable, and for each item of information contained in a document to which a claim
`of privilege is made, identify such document with sufficient particularity for purposes of a motion
`to compel, such identification to include at least the following:
`a.
`the basis on which the privilege is claimed;
`b.
`the names and positions of the author of the document and all other
`persons participating in the preparation of the document;
`c.
`the name and position of each individual or other person to whom
`the document, or a copy thereof, was sent or otherwise disclosed;
`d.
`the date of the document;
`e.

`whether any business or non-legal matter is contained or discussed
`in such document.
`9.
`If your response to a particular document request is a statement that you lack the
`ability to comply with that request, you must specify whether the inability to comply is because the
`particular document or category of information never existed, has been destroyed, cannot be cur-
`rently located, has been lost, misplaced, or stolen, or has never been, or is no longer, in your pos-
`session, custody, or control, in which case the name and address of any person or entity known or
`believed by you to have possession, custody, or control of that document or category of information
`must be identified.
`10.
`If you are aware of any document within the scope of these requests that is not being
`produced for any reason other than a stated objection, you should make a statement to that effect,
`identify the document, and state why the document is not being produced.
`11.
`If any document cannot be produced in full, PersonalWeb should produce the doc-
`ument to the extent possible and specify the reasons for being unable to produce the remainder.
`12.
`If you contend certain document requests require disclosure of trade secret or other
`confidential research, development, or commercial information, please mark them as such or as
`required by any protective order that may be entered in this action.
`13.
`PersonalWeb’s obligation to respond to these document requests is continuing and
`its responses are to be supplemented to include subsequently acquired information in accordance
`with the requirements of Rule 26(e) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.

`
`Pursuant to Rules 26 and 34 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, PersonalWeb
`Technologies, LLC (“PersonalWeb”), by and through counsel, hereby objects and responds to the
`Second Set of Requests for Production of Amazon.com, Inc. and Amazon Web Services, Inc.
`(collectively “Amazon”) as follows:
`GENERAL OBJECTIONS
`The following general objections are stated with respect to each and every Request for
`Production whether or not specifically identified in response thereto. To the extent any of these
`general objections are not raised in any particular response, PersonalWeb does not waive those
`objections.
`PersonalWeb objects to each and every definition and request as overly broad, unduly
`1.
`burdensome, and not proportional to the needs of the case because they are not limited to a specific
`geographic area. PersonalWeb will only provide discovery with respect to the United States.
`PersonalWeb objects to the definitions of “you” and “PersonalWeb” because it seeks
`2.
`to broaden the scope of allowable discovery and seeks information that is not within the possession,
`custody, or control of PersonalWeb, but is in the possession of third-parties and non-parties to this
`lawsuit. PersonalWeb further objects to the definition of these terms to the extent it includes
`PersonalWeb’s attorneys and patent agents and seeks privileged and attorney-work product
`information. PersonalWeb will interpret these terms as referring to PersonalWeb Technologies,
`LLC, only.
`PersonalWeb objects to the definition of “Level 3” because it seeks to broaden the
`3.
`scope of allowable discovery and seeks information that is not within the possession, custody, or
`control of PersonalWeb, but is in the possession of third-parties and non-parties to this lawsuit.
`PersonalWeb further objects to the definition of these terms to the extent it includes Level 3’s
`attorneys and patent agents and seeks privileged and attorney-work product information.
`PersonalWeb will interpret this term as referring to Level 3 Communications, Inc., only.
`PersonalWeb objects to the definition of “document” and the definition of “all
`4.
`documents” as overly broad and unduly burdensome, vague and ambiguous, not proportional to the

`needs of this case, and failing to describe the information sought with reasonable particularity.
`PersonalWeb will not search for documents that are not within its possession, custody, or control.
`PersonalWeb objects to the definition of “Communication” as overly broad and
`5.
`unduly burdensome, vague and ambiguous, not proportional to the needs of this case, and failing to
`describe the information sought with reasonable particularity.
`PersonalWeb objects to the definition of “Kinetech License” as overly broad and
`6.
`unduly burdensome, vague and ambiguous, not proportional to the needs of this case, and failing to
`describe the information sought with reasonable particularity. PersonalWeb will interpret this term to
`refer to the agreement entered into between Kinetech Inc. and Digital Island, Inc. on or about
`September 1, 2000.
`PersonalWeb objects to the terms “relate to”, “relates to”, “related to”, “relating to”,
`7.
`“referring to”, “pertaining to”, “pertain to”, and “regarding” as overly broad and unduly
`burdensome, vague and ambiguous, not proportional to the needs of this case, and failing to describe
`the information sought with reasonable particularity. See Sonnino v. Univ. of Kansas Hosp. Auth.,
`2004 WL 764085, *5 (D. Kan. Apr. 8, 2004) (“This court has recognized on many occasions that the
`use of such omnibus terms as ‘relating to’ or ‘regarding’ can render a discovery request overly broad
`on its face.”) The use of such terms and phrases in this litigation with Amazon knowing or having
`awareness of multiple enforcement actions spanning a decade or longer without further specification
`or clarification supports said objection. Unless specifically stated in a response to a specific request
`for production of documents, PersonalWeb does not assume the obligation to search litigation
`records in other litigations.
`PersonalWeb objects to these requests, definitions and instructions to the extent that
`8.
`they seek to impose duties beyond those required by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and the
`Local Rules of this district. PersonalWeb’s responses shall be made only in accordance with the
`applicable rule(s).
`PersonalWeb objects to these requests to the extent that they seek information and
`9.
`documents equally available to Amazon, available in the public domain, already in the possession,
`custody, or control of Amazon, or not within the custody or control of PersonalWeb.

`disclose information that PersonalWeb is required to maintain in confidence pursuant to an
`agreement, order, or understanding with any third party. PersonalWeb will not disclose such
`information except pursuant to an appropriate release from any such third party or an appropriate
`court order.
`PersonalWeb objects to each and every instruction, definition, and request to the
`12.
`extent that it seeks the disclosure of information protected by the attorney-client privilege, the
`attorney work-product doctrine, or any other applicable privilege, immunity, or protection, as
`provided by any applicable law. PersonalWeb does not intend to disclose such privileged or
`protected information. PersonalWeb’s inadvertent disclosure of any such information should not be
`deemed a waiver of any privilege, immunity, or protection, and PersonalWeb expressly reserves the
`right to object to the introduction at trial or to any other use of such information that may be
`inadvertently disclosed. PersonalWeb objects to discovery of attorney-client privileged
`communications after the filing of this lawsuit and all lawsuits that are part of this multidistrict
`litigation, Case No. 5:18-md-02834, and to the discovery of work-product materials generated after
`the filing of this lawsuit and all lawsuits that are part of this multidistrict litigation, Case No. 5:18-
`md-02834. Per the parties’ Joint Preliminary Pretrial Conference Statement, PersonalWeb will not
`identify these privileged or protected materials in a privilege log.
`PersonalWeb objects that it has already produced documents in this case, some of
`13.
`which are responsive to these requests. PersonalWeb will not produce documents which have
`already been produced. PersonalWeb will produce responsive, non-privileged documents to the
`extent they have not already been produced.
`The responses given herein shall not be deemed to waive any claim of privilege or
`14.
`immunity PersonalWeb may have as to any response, document, or thing, or any question or right of
`objection as to authenticity, competency, relevancy, materiality, admissibility, or any other objection
`PersonalWeb may have as to a demand for further response to these or other requests, or to any

`Nothing contained herein may be construed as an admission relative to the existence

`Investigation and discovery in this matter is ongoing and PersonalWeb reserves the

`These General Objections are applicable to and are incorporated in each specific

`
`
`RESPONSES AND OBJECTIONS
`Subject to the foregoing General Objections, which are incorporated by reference as if set forth
`fully in each and every response, PersonalWeb also specifically responds and objects to the requests
`for production as follows:
`REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 94:
`All documents related to the Kinetech License, including documents relating to and
`communications with Level 3 regarding the scope of PersonalWeb’s and Level 3’s fields of use under
`the Kinetech License.
`RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 94:
`PersonalWeb incorporates by reference its General Objections as if fully set forth herein. To
`the extent this request seeks information protected by the attorney-client privilege, attorney work-
`product doctrine, joint defense privilege, common interest exception, or any other applicable
`privilege, immunity, doctrine or protection, PersonalWeb objects to it and will not provide any such
`information in response. If any information responsive to this request is subject to any

`confidentiality obligations owed by PersonalWeb to any third party, PersonalWeb will provide such
`information only after it complies with those obligations, and, if necessary, only after it obtains the
`required permission to do so from the third party. PersonalWeb objects to this request to the extent
`it is not relevant to any claim or defense in this action or proportional to the needs of the case.
`PersonalWeb objects to this request to the extent it calls for documents outside of
`PersonalWeb’s custody and control and to the extent it calls for the production of documents from
`any party other than PersonalWeb. PersonalWeb objects to this request as unduly burdensome to the
`extent it seeks information that is already known to Amazon and to the extent it seeks information
`that is equally available to Amazon. PersonalWeb objects to the phrases and terms “relating to” as
`overly broad and unduly burdensome, vague and ambiguous, not proportional to the needs of this
`case as it is not limited to any time period and failing to describe the information sought with
`reasonable particularity. See Sonnino v. Univ. of Kansas Hosp. Auth., 2004 WL 764085, *5 (D. Kan.
`Apr. 8, 2004). PersonalWeb objects to this request as overly broad and unduly burdensome, vague
`and ambiguous, not proportional to the needs of this case.
`Subject to and without waiving any of the objections above or the General Objections,
`PersonalWeb responds as follows:
`PersonalWeb has produced a copy of the requested agreement.
`REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 95:
`All documents constituting or relating to any communication between PersonalWeb and Level
`
`3.
`RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 95:
`PersonalWeb incorporates by reference its General Objections as if fully set forth herein. To
`the extent this request seeks information protected by the attorney-client privilege, attorney work-
`product doctrine, joint defense privilege, common interest exception, or any other applicable privilege,
`immunity, doctrine or protection, PersonalWeb objects to it and will not provide any such information
`in response. If any information responsive to this request is subject to any confidentiality obligations
`owed by PersonalWeb to any third party, PersonalWeb will provide such information only after it
`complies with those obligations, and, if necessary, only after it obtains the required permission to do

`or defense in this action or proportional to the needs of the case. PersonalWeb objects to this request
`to the extent it seeks information protected from disclosure by the attorney work product doctrine.
`PersonalWeb objects to this request to the extent it calls for documents outside of
