`DEFENDANTS’ MOTION FOR TELECONFERENCE
`TO RESOLVE DISCOVERY DISPUTES
`
`Defendants Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., Samsung Semiconductor, Inc., Samsung
`
`Electronics America, Inc., and Samsung Austin Semiconductor, LLC (collectively, “Samsung”)
`
`respectfully move the Court to schedule a teleconference to address outstanding disputes on
`
`Samsung’s requests for discovery from Plaintiff Elm 3DS Innovations, LLC (“Elm”).
`
`There are two discovery matters for which Samsung seeks the Court’s assistance:
`
`1.
`
`2.
`
`Elm’s refusal to produce two of the amendments to the July 8, 2013 Contingent
`Fee Engagement Agreement between Elm Technology Corporation and Epicenter
`Law, P.C. that the Court ordered to be produced without redactions. See D.I. No.
`442 at 12. Samsung understands that Elm is not opposed to providing the two
`amendments to the Court for in camera review, and Samsung respectfully
`suggests that this may be the most efficient way to proceed procedurally.
`
`Elm’s refusal to produce documents affecting Ron Epstein’s compensation in
`connection with this case that also relate to litigation funding.
