`
`SAMSUNG’S SECOND SUPPLEMENTAL OBJECTIONS AND RESPONSES TO
`ELM’S THIRD SET OF INTERROGATORIES
`
`
`
`Pursuant to Rules 26 and 33 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, defendants Samsung
`
`Electronics Co., Ltd., Samsung Semiconductor, Inc., Samsung Electronics America, Inc., and
`
`Samsung Austin Semiconductor, LLC (collectively “Samsung”) hereby object and respond to
`
`Plaintiff ELM 3DS Innovations, LLC’s (“Elm”) Third Set of Interrogatories, dated June 3, 2016.
`
`GENERAL OBJECTIONS
`
`
`
`Samsung makes the following general responses and objections (“General Objections”)
`
`to each “Definition,” “Instruction,” and “Interrogatory” propounded in Elm’s Third Set of
`
`Interrogatories. These General Objections are hereby incorporated into each specific response.
`
`
`

`

`Case 1:14-cv-01430-LPS Document 384-1 Filed 12/04/20 Page 26 of 1062 PageID #: 24175
`
`
`The assertion of the same, similar or additional objections or partial responses to individual
`
`interrogatories does not waive any of Samsung’s General Objections.
`
`Samsung objects to Elm’s definition of “Elm” and “Elm 3DS” as vague,
`1.
`ambiguous, overbroad, and unduly burdensome to the extent that they include “all parents,
`subsidiaries, affiliates, assignees, predecessors, employees, and agents thereof.” Samsung
`further objects to the definition as not reasonably tied to Elm’s infringement allegations and
`potentially seeking information not relevant to any party’s claim or defense and not proportional
`to the needs of this case. Samsung further objects to the extent that these terms may include
`persons or entities that are not parties to this action.
`2.
`Samsung objects to Elm’s definitions of “you” and “your” as overbroad, unduly
`burdensome, and oppressive to the extent that they include Samsung “and their parents,
`subsidiaries, divisions, affiliates, predecessors, assigns, successors, and acquired assets of
`business units, and any of their present or former officers, directors, trustees, employees, agents,
`representatives, attorneys, patent agents, and all other persons acting on their behalf.” Samsung
`will respond, subject to and without waiving all other objections, only as to the named Samsung
`Defendants: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., Samsung Semiconductor, Inc., Samsung Electronics
`America, Inc., and Samsung Austin Semiconductor, LLC.
`3.
`Samsung objects to Elm’s Instruction No. 1 because it purports to impose
`requirements and obligations on Samsung other than as set forth in the Federal Rules of Civil
`Procedure.
`Samsung provides these objections and responses to the best of its current
`4.
`knowledge. Discovery or further investigation may reveal additional or different information
`warranting amendment of these objections and responses. Samsung reserves the right to produce
`at trial and make reference to any evidence, facts, documents, or information not discovered at
`this time, omitted through good-faith error, mistake, or oversight, or the relevance of which
`Samsung has not presently identified.

`
`
`By responding to these interrogatories, Samsung does not concede the relevance
`5.
`or materiality of any of the interrogatories or of the subjects to which it refers. Samsung’s
`responses are made subject to, and without waiving any objections as to the competency,
`relevancy, materiality, privilege, or admissibility of any of the responses, or of the subject matter
`to which they concern, in any proceeding in this action or in any other proceeding.
`6.
`Samsung objects to any interrogatory to the extent that it seeks information that is
`protected from disclosure by the attorney-client privilege, the attorney work product doctrine, the
`joint defense or common interest privilege, or any other applicable privilege, doctrine, or
`discovery immunity. The inadvertent production by Samsung of information protected from
`disclosure by any such privilege, doctrine, or immunity shall not be deemed a waiver by
`Samsung of such privileges or protections.
`7.
`Samsung objects generally to the interrogatories to the extent they seek
`confidential, proprietary, or trade secret information of third parties. Samsung will endeavor to
`work with third parties in order to obtain their consent, if necessary, before providing such
`information. To the extent an interrogatory seeks information of a confidential or proprietary
`nature to Samsung, or to others to whom Samsung is under an obligation of confidentiality,
`Samsung will respond pursuant to the terms of the protective order entered in this case and
`subject to notice to third parties, as necessary.
`8.
`Samsung objects to each interrogatory and to Elm’s “Definitions” and
`“Instructions” to the extent they are vague, ambiguous, overbroad, unduly burdensome, are not
`proportional to the needs of this case, or purport to impose upon Samsung any duty or obligation
`that is inconsistent with or in excess of those obligations that are imposed by the Federal Rules
`of Civil Procedure, the Civil Local Rules and/or the Patent Local Rules of this Court, or any
`other applicable rule.
`9.
`Samsung objects to any interrogatory to the extent it seeks irrelevant information
`about Samsung’s products or business operations, or is not otherwise proportional to the needs of
`

`
`
`this case. Such requests are overbroad and unduly burdensome. Samsung will only produce
`information that is relevant to the patents-in-suit, or that is otherwise related to the claims or
`defenses asserted by the parties in this litigation.
`10.
`Samsung objects to each interrogatory to the extent that it would impose a duty on
`Samsung to undertake a search for or an evaluation of information, documents, or things for
`which Elm is equally able to search for and evaluate and/or is not proportional to the needs of
`this case. In particular, Samsung objects to each interrogatory to the extent that it seeks
`information or documents that are publicly available.
`11.
`Samsung objects to each interrogatory to the extent that it seeks information that
`can be derived or ascertained from documents that will be produced in discovery, is not
`otherwise proportional to the needs of this case, or that is uniquely in Elm’s possession, custody,
`and control.
`Samsung objects to each interrogatory to the extent it would require Samsung to
`12.
`draw a legal conclusion or contention to make a proper response.
`13.
`Samsung objects to each interrogatory to the extent that it purports to define
`words or phrases to have a meaning different from their commonly understood meaning, or to
`include more than their commonly understood definitions.
`14.
`In Samsung’s objections, the terms “and” and “or” are intended to be construed
`conjunctively or disjunctively as necessary to make the objections inclusive rather than
`exclusive.
`Samsung objects to each interrogatory to the extent it purports to require Samsung
`15.
`to identify or describe or identify “every,” “each,” “any,” or other similarly expansive, infinite,
`or all-inclusive terms as overbroad and unduly burdensome.
`16.
`Samsung objects to Elm’s “Instructions” and the interrogatories to the extent they
`seek information that is not in the possession, custody, or control of Samsung, purport to require
`Samsung to speculate about the identity of persons who might have responsive documents,

`
`
`and/or purport to call for any description of documents that Samsung no longer possesses and/or
`was under no obligation to maintain.
`17.
`Samsung objects to each interrogatory to the extent it is not limited in time and
`seeks information for periods of time that are not relevant to any claim or defense and is not
`otherwise proportional to the needs of this case.
`18.
`Samsung objects to the interrogatories as a whole, and to each interrogatory
`contained therein, to the extent they are overbroad, unreasonably burdensome, and/or not
`proportional to the needs of this case. In particular, Samsung objects to the interrogatories as a
`whole, and to each interrogatory contained therein, to the extent they seek irrelevant information
`about accused products. By answering, objecting, and otherwise responding to the
`interrogatories, Samsung does not concede relevance or admissibility, both of which Samsung
`reserves the right to challenge.
`19.
`Samsung objects to the interrogatories as a whole, and to each interrogatory
`contained therein, to the extent they are premature and/or to the extent they: (a) conflict with any
`schedule entered by the Court; (b) seek information that is the subject of expert testimony; (c)
`seek information and/or responses that are dependent on the Court’s construction of the asserted
`claims of the patents-in-suit; or (d) are dependent on depositions and documents that have not
`been taken or produced.
`20.
`Samsung’s objections as set forth herein are made without prejudice to Samsung’s
`right to assert any additional or supplemental objections pursuant to Rule 26(e).
`21.
`Samsung will make, and has made, reasonable efforts to respond to Elm’s Third
`Set of Interrogatories, to the extent that no objection is made, as Samsung reasonably
`understands and interprets each Interrogatory. If Elm subsequently asserts any interpretation of
`any interrogatory that differs from the interpretation of Samsung, then Samsung reserves the
`right to supplement and amend its objections and responses.

`
`
`OBJECTIONS AND RESPONSES TO INTERROGATORIES
`
`Subject to the foregoing qualifications and General Objections and the specific objections
`
`made below, Samsung objects and responds to Elm’s Third Set of Interrogatories as follows:
`
`INTERROGATORY NO. 4:
`Identify by part number all Stacked Integrated Circuit Products that (A) are not included
`in the Second Amended Accused Product List served on June 3, 2016, and (B) that you (1) sell
`directly to an affiliate or third party, and/or (2) incorporate in products that you subsequently sell
`to an affiliate or a third party.
`OBJECTIONS AND RESPONSE TO INTERROGATORY NO. 4:
`
`Samsung incorporates by reference the General Objections as if fully set forth herein. In
`addition, Samsung objects to this interrogatory to the extent it calls for information protected
`from discovery under the attorney-client privilege, the attorney work product doctrine, and other
`applicable privileges or restrictions on discovery. Samsung further objects to this interrogatory
`to the extent that it seeks private, privileged, and confidential commercial, financial, and/or
`proprietary business information. Samsung further objects to this interrogatory as overbroad,
`unduly burdensome, and not proportional to the needs of this case, particularly to the extent that
`it may include products that are not manufactured by Samsung and/or products that are not
`imported, sold, or offered for sale in the United States by Samsung. Samsung further objects to
`this interrogatory to the extent that it is duplicative and seeks information that can be derived or
`ascertained from documents that were produced in discovery and that is uniquely in Elm’s
`possession, custody and control. Samsung further objects to this interrogatory on the grounds
`that it is vague, ambiguous, and overbroad as to “affiliate,” “third party,” and “incorporate in
`products.” These terms are undefined and capable of different interpretations. It therefore
`requires Samsung to guess as to what Elm meant by the identified terms, and therefore, what

`
`information is actually being requested. Samsung further objects to this interrogatory as
`overbroad to the extent it is unlimited with respect to time or geography.
`
`Subject to and without in any way waiving the foregoing objections, and to the extent it
`understands this interrogatory, Samsung responds as follows: pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil
`Procedure 33(d), Samsung refers Elm to the documents bearing bates numbers SAMSUNG-
`ELM-000025176 – SAMSUNG-ELM-000050134, wherein information responsive to this
`interrogatory may be found. Samsung expressly reserves the right to supplement this response
`following further investigation and/or discovery.
`
`FIRST SUPPLEMENTAL OBJECTIONS AND RESPONSE TO INTERROGATORY
`NO. 4:
`
`Samsung further objects to this interrogatory as ambiguous and overbroad, particularly to
`the extent that it is unlimited with respect to time or geography. In particular, because the
`patents-in-suit have expired or will expire soon, Samsung objects to this interrogatory to the
`extent it seeks post-patent expiration data.
`
`Subject to and without waiving the foregoing general and specific objections, and to the
`extent it understands this interrogatory, Samsung further responds as follows:
`
`Appendix A, attached hereto, lists all stacked silicon die packages having two or more
`vertically stacked die that have been sold in the United States in the period between 2007 to
`present and that are not included in the Second Amended Accused Product List served on June 3,
`2016.
`
`Samsung expressly reserves the right to amend or supplement this response following
`further investigation and/or discovery.
