`
`TO ALL PARTIES, AND THEIR COUNSEL OF RECORD, please take
`
`notice that Plaintiff Finjan, Inc. (“Plaintiff” or “Finjan”), hereby requests the Court
`
`issue an order amending the caption in the above-titled case to reflect Plaintiff’s
`
`conversion from a corporation to a limited liability company. On July 31, 2020,
`
`Plaintiff Finjan was converted from a “Delaware Corporation … to a Delaware
`
`Limited Liability Company, [and] chang[ed] its name from ‘Finjan, Inc.’ to ‘Finjan
`
`LLC.’” Amon Decl., Exh. A at FINJAN-ESET_690366.1 Accordingly, Finjan
`
`requests that the caption of the above-titled case be amended to reflect the conversion,
`
`changing the identification of Plaintiff from “Finjan, Inc.” to “Finjan LLC.”
`
`Defendants ESET, LLC and ESET SPOL. S.R.O. (collectively, “ESET”) have
`
`indicated they will oppose Finjan’s motion. Finjan first contacted ESET about
`
`amending the caption on November 11, 2020, asking if ESET would oppose. On
`
`November 12, 2020, ESET responded asking for documents confirming the
`
`conversion. Finjan produced the requested documents (attached as Exh. A to the
`
`15
`
`Amon Decl.) on November 16, 2020.
`
`16
`
`At that point, ESET changed tactics to say it would not oppose this motion to
`
`17
`
`amend only if Finjan agreed to produce documents related to the acquisition of
`
`Finjan’s parent company by another non-party. See Amon Decl., Exh. B (11/16/20
`
`email fr. Penner to Amon) (“If Finjan intends to refuse to produce the documents
`
`relevant to the Fortress acquisition then ESET suggests filing the motion as an
`
`opposed motion.”).2 Finjan’s parent company, Finjan Holdings LLC, is not a party in
`
`this case, and documents regarding its acquisition by yet another non-party are
`
`unrelated to whether Finjan, Inc. is now Finjan LLC, and thus whether the caption
`
`needs to be modified. It is unreasonable for ESET to condition its non-opposition to

`
` All exhibits are attached to the Declaration of Michael A. Amon In Support Of
`Motion to Amend Caption (“Amon Decl.”), filed concurrently with this motion.
`
`2 ESET maintained this position when the parties met and conferred on the issue on
`November 18, 2020. See Amon Decl. at ¶ 8.

`
`
`
`a straightforward, procedural motion to amend the caption that merely seeks to reflect
`
`Plaintiff’s correct corporate entity type on the production of irrelevant documents
`
`related to a non-party’s acquisition of Finjan’s parent.
`
`Accordingly, Finjan requests that the Court order the caption amended to reflect
`
`that Finjan, Inc. is now Finjan LLC.
