`
`Re:
`
`Elm 3DS Innovations, LLC v. Samsung Elecs. Co. Ltd., et al., CA. No. 14-cv-1430-
`LPS-CJB
`
`Dear Nosson:
`
`This letter responds to your correspondence of December 10, and our teleconferences on
`December 9 and 10. Samsung’s proposal for the discovery we discussed is set forth below.
`
`I.
`
`Downstream Products
`
`Samsung agrees to produce U.S. sales data for all downstream products that include: (1)
`relevant memory components, and (2) relevant image sensor components. Samsung anticipates
`producing the corresponding sales data for these products from both SEA and SELA-Miami, by
`January 10. Samsung is endeavoring to produce this data earlier, but given the anticipated
`business shutdowns from the upcoming holidays, and the large volume of products at issue,
`Samsung estimates January 10 as a more feasible date of production.
`
`II. Worldwide Sales Data
`
`
`A.
`
`U.S. Sales Activities
`
`Samsung agrees to produce worldwide sales data for the relevant products (e.g., stacked
`products including at least one die that is 50 microns or less) arising from sales-related activities
`conducted by any Samsung defendant in the U.S. To the extent not already produced, Samsung
`proposes producing this data to Elm by January 24.
`
`B.
`
`Image Sensor Products Incorporating SAS Wafers
`
`Samsung agrees to produce worldwide sales data for the relevant image sensor products
`incorporating wafers manufactured at SAS. Samsung proposes producing this data to Elm by
`January 10.
`
`
`LEGAL_US_W # 101313676.1
`
`
`

`

`Case 1:14-cv-01430-LPS Document 257-1 Filed 02/25/20 Page 6 of 70 PageID #: 18469
`
`
`December 12, 2019
`Page 2
`
`However, to be clear, Samsung interprets this discovery as relating to Elm’s request for
`worldwide sales of relevant products in general. Samsung’s agreement to produce this data is
`based on its relationship to U.S.-based activities, as we discussed (and noted in Section II.A.
`above). In producing this data, Samsung does not admit that it is properly within the scope of
`this litigation or otherwise can be the subject of a valid damages theory.
`
`We note again that you raised for the first time on our teleconferences of December 9 and
`10 that Elm seeks worldwide sales for stacked memory and image sensor products that
`specifically incorporate wafers made by SAS, and you reiterated that request in your email of
`December 10. To the extent that you believe that these new requests are relevant to Elm’s
`Interrogatory No. 5 to Samsung (which appears to be your position), Samsung disagrees. That
`interrogatory reads as follows:
`
`Identify on a product-by-product basis the monthly revenue and profit for any
`component that you manufacture in or supply from the United States that is
`incorporated into a Product that contains a semiconductor layer that is 50
`microns or less.
`
`The interrogatory plainly seeks sales data for unfinished components that are manufactured in or
`supplied from the U.S., and further incorporated into products containing a semiconductor layer
`that is 50 microns or less. The only components that potentially fall within the scope of this
`interrogatory are wafer products sold by SAS. Samsung’s downstream image sensor products,
`containing the SAS wafers, do not fall within the scope of this interrogatory because: (1) they are
`not “manufacture[d] in the United States”; (2) they are not “suppl[ied] from the United States”;
`and (3) they are not “incorporated into a Product that contains a semiconductor layer that is 50
`microns or less,” as they are products that themselves contain such layers. Finally, the
`interrogatory does not request “worldwide” sales anywhere. As you know, discovery requests
`must identify the information sought with reasonable particularity, and worldwide sales data is
`not identified in this interrogatory—and certainly not specified with the requisite particularity.
`
`Consistent with Elm’s briefing in the Micron case, you have explained to us in our
`discussions that the above interrogatory is based on Elm’s theory of liability under 35 U.S.C.
`271(f). However, that section of the statute is directed to liability from supplying from the U.S. a
`“component of a patented invention,” where “such component is uncombined in whole or in
`part.” The image sensor, memory and downstream consumer products are accused products
`under 35 U.S.C. 271(a), not unfinished components under 35 U.S.C. 271(f). Thus, we do not see
`how you can plausibly read your new requests for worldwide sales of finished downstream
`products containing SAS wafers as related to this interrogatory.
`
`
`
`
`

`

`Page 3
`
`C. Memory Products Incorporating SAS Wafers
`
`For similar reasons, we do not see how your new request this week for the worldwide
`sales of memory component products that specifically contain SAS wafers is relevant to Elm’s
`Interrogatory No. 5. Likewise, we interpret this request as relating instead to Elm’s request for
`worldwide sales of relevant products in general.
`
`As we previously informed you, Samsung cannot precisely identify which memory
`products contain SAS wafers before 2012, which is when SAS stopped making wafers for such
`products. Nevertheless, Samsung is currently investigating whether it is even possible to make
`inferences based on the production volume and average sales prices of memory products sold
`during that time period. Samsung expects to have answers to this investigation by early next
`week. However, we are not aware of any authority requiring a producing party to make an
`“estimation,” no less a “reliable” one as you have demanded, based on information not in its
`possession, custody or control. Please provide authority for your position.
`
`Should Samsung learn from its current investigation that it can estimate the memory
`products containing SAS wafers, and assuming you provide your authority promptly, Samsung
`would agree to produce the corresponding worldwide sales data by January 31.
`
`In addition, given that you have only recently articulated your request for worldwide
`sales for memory products containing SAS wafers, during our teleconferences of December 9
`and 10, and given that Elm’s Interrogatory No. 5 does not plausibly encompass such a request,
`we do not consider the issue ripe. Samsung needs additional time to investigate what responsive
`data it can potentially collect or otherwise “estimate” in connection with this request. Should
`Elm wish to move forward with a discovery dispute letter on Friday, Samsung will identify as a
`topic in the letter whether Elm’s identification of this particular dispute is premature given that
`Samsung has been denied adequate time to investigate this new request.
`
`III. New Additional Issues
`
`Samsung is in receipt of your request for updated U.S. sales data for relevant products
`that include components purchased from third parties. Samsung is also in receipt of your request
`for the prices that Samsung entities pay for the relevant components incorporated into final
`downstream products.
`
`As we noted in our teleconferences, these requests dramatically expand the scope of
`discovery and period for production, and the time needed to investigate these new issues is not
`based on any omissions by Samsung, as you have claimed. The parties could have been further
`along if Elm articulated its need for this additional information when Samsung first started
`compiling financial data or after reviewing Samsung’s productions in the past few months. You
`

`
`acknowledged that additional time is required for Samsung to respond to these issues at this time.
`Thus, we will respond in due course with Samsung’s response and proposal.

`Nosson, 
`
`  
`Your draft letter to the Court is premature and does not add Defendants’ discovery issues.  We can wait 
`until we receive your written response on these issues, or go ahead and discuss today provided that you 
`appreciate that we do not have updates from Samsung to report. 
`

`Soyoung, 
`
` 
`We cannot delay this until Friday. Samsung’s delays in complying with its
`discovery obligations are a key issue that we intend to raise with the Court and,
`especially in light of the accelerated discovery deadlines you have insisted upon,
`this needs to be resolved right away.  
`
` 
`There is one alternative that we’d like to propose: In light of your representation
`that a meet and confer today would be unhelpful, we would be fine filing the
`attached letter today, and then following up with you on Friday. If our Friday
`discussion renders any portion of our request moot, we can always withdraw all or
`part of the request.  
`
` 
`We are working on drafting a written response to your December letters, and
`expect to have that ready for you today or tomorrow. We propose you review that
`letter and then let us know if you’d like to meet and confer from there. That said,
`if you’d prefer to just talk through the issues today (or Friday), that’s fine with us.  
`
` 
`Please let me know how you’d like to proceed. 
`
` 
`Finally, you promised last week to provide certain correlation data by “early to
`mid” week this week. Are you on track to getting that to us today?

`Nosson, 
`
`  
`As noted in my previous email, we do not believe a call would be productive until we have had an 
`opportunity to talk to Samsung.  So, we would still prefer to meet after our call with Samsung tonight. 
`We are happy to talk on Friday if that is better for you.  
`  
`If you would like to proceed with a call today regardless, we can go forward.  But, please be prepared to 
`address all of the deficiency letters we sent you in December.  Elm has ignored our letters, and we plan 
`to include these disputes in any letter to the Court absent resolution during our call. 
`
`  
`Thanks, 
`Soyoung

`Soyoung,

`It is clear from your response that Samsung has not kept up its end of
`the deal. Accordingly, we intend to file a motion to compel this
`week. I’ll send you a draft letter to the Court tomorrow, so that we
`can finalize it during our call on Wednesday. We are available on
`Wednesday at 3pmMT. Please circulate a dial-in for that time.

`  
`Nosson, 
`
`  
`Samsung has attempted, in good faith, to provide the requested discovery pursuant to 
`the parties’ agreement, which was that Samsung would investigate and produce 
`worldwide sales data for the relevant products (e.g., stacked products including at least 
`one die that is 50 microns or less) arising from sales‐related activities conducted by any 
`Samsung defendant in the U.S.  The spreadsheet that was served on Friday, January 24, 
`includes responsive non‐U.S. sales data for Samsung’s U.S.‐based customers.  Samsung 
`is continuing its investigation of additional customers for which there may have been 
`sales‐related activities in the U.S., but as of now, has yet to identify any. 
`
`  
`We are generally available after 3 PM ET this Wednesday to discuss.   Let us know what 
`time works for you.  
`
`

`Soyoung

`  
`Soyoung, 
`
` 
`Your letter that accompanied today’s production says that your
`production includes sales to “Samsung’s U.S.-based customers.” I’ve
`pasted below the relevant language from our agreement, which
`includes more than just sales to Samsung’s US-based customers.  
`  
`It appears that Samsung has, once again, failed to comply with its
`commitments under our agreement. Please let me know what time on
`Monday you and your local counsel are available to meet and confer
`so that we can determine the appropriate next steps. 
`
` 
`Thanks,

`
`1. By January 24, Samsung will produce worldwide sales data for
`all relevant products (including all stacked semiconductor
`products that include at least one die that is 50 microns or less)
`regarding which Samsung has conducted sales-related activities
`in the U.S. Samsung has represented that it is currently
`investigating the various types of activities that it conducts in
`the U.S., and has agreed to raise any questions about the
`specific activities that Elm believ
