`
`Electronic Arts Inc., Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc., Rockstar Games, Inc. and 2K Sports,
`
`Inc. (the “Defendants”) as follows:
`
`RESERVATION OF RIGHTS AND GENERAL OBJECTIONS
`
`1.
`
`Discovery in this action is continuing and Plaintiff may learn of additional facts
`
`pertaining to the Interrogatories. Therefore, Plaintiff reserves the right to change, amend, or
`
`supplement its objections and responses at a later date. If further evidence is obtained which is
`
`not protected from discovery, Plaintiff reserves the right to present such evidence at the time of
`
`trial.
`
`2.
`
`Plaintiff’s responses are made solely for purposes of this action, and not for
`
`purposes of any other action. These responses are subject to all objections as to competence,
`
`relevance, materiality, propriety, admissibility, and any and all other objections and grounds that
`
`would require the exclusion of evidence disclosed herein if the evidence were produced and
`
`sought to be introduced into evidence in Court; all of which objections and grounds are
`
`specifically reserved, and may be interposed at the time of trial or other attempt to use one or
`
`more of these responses.
`
`3.
`
`The following General Objections apply to each and every separately numbered
`
`Interrogatory and are incorporated by reference into each and every specific response as if set
`
`forth in full in each response. From time to time a specific response may repeat a General
`
`Objection for emphasis or some other reason. The failure to repeat any General Objection in any
`
`specific response shall not be interpreted as a waiver of any General Objection to that response.
`
`4.
`
`Plaintiff objects to each Interrogatory to the extent that the Interrogatory attempts
`
`or purports to call for the production of any information or documentation that is privileged, that
`
`was prepared in anticipation of litigation or for trial, that reveals communications between
`
`(cid:3)

`
`
`
`Case 1:15-cv-00311-RGA Document 82-1 Filed 02/17/16 Page 8 of 62 PageID #: 2000
`
`Plaintiff and its legal counsel, that otherwise constitutes attorney work product, privileged
`
`attorney-client communication, or that is otherwise privileged or immune from discovery.
`
`Inadvertent disclosure of any such information or documentation is not intended to and shall not
`
`constitute a waiver of any privilege or any other ground for objecting to discovery with respect to
`
`such information, or with respect to the subject matter thereof. Nor shall such inadvertent
`
`production or disclosure waive the right of Plaintiff to object to the use of any such information
`
`during this action or in any other subsequent proceeding.
`
`5.
`
`Plaintiff objects to the Interrogatories to the extent they seek information
`
`protected by the right of privacy, including the right of privacy afforded to Plaintiff’s customers.
`
`6.
`
`Plaintiff objects to Defendants’ definitions and instructions to the extent they are
`
`beyond the scope of the Federal Rules, the Local Rules, and the Orders of this Court.
`
`7.
`
`Plaintiff objects to Defendants’ Interrogatories to the extent they are overly broad,
`
`unduly burdensome, or not relevant or likely to lead to any relevant evidence as to any party's
`
`claims, counterclaims, or defenses or the subject matter involved in the action.
`
`8.
`
`Plaintiff objects to the Interrogatories to the extent that they seek to require
`
`Plaintiff to provide documentation other than that which may be obtained through a reasonably
`
`diligent search of Plaintiff's corporate records.
`
`9.
`
`Plaintiff objects to each of the Interrogatories to the extent it does not describe the
`
`information sought with sufficient particularity and/or is vague, ambiguous, or unlimited in
`
`scope.
`
`10.
`
`Plaintiff objects to each of the Interrogatories to the extent they seek disclosure of
`
`information that is already in Defendants’ possession, custody or control, is duplicative of
`
`discovery already propounded, and is available to Defendants from some other source that is
`
`(cid:3)

`

`
`more convenient, less burdensome or less expensive, or is available to Defendants from public
`
`sources.
`
`11.
`
`Plaintiff objects to each of the Interrogatories to the extent they call for legal
`
`conclusions and/or seek to elicit testimony from fact witnesses which is properly obtained during
`
`expert discovery.
`
`12.
`
`Plaintiff objects to the definition of “Defendants” in the Interrogatories to the
`
`extent it is overbroad and burdensome and not reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of
`
`admissible evidence. Defendants have not identified specifically what other parties can be
`
`considered to be part of “Defendants.”
`
`13.
`
`Plaintiff objects to the Definitions of “Acceleration Bay,” “Plaintiff,” “You,” or
`
`“your” to the extent that the definitions are overbroad and burdensome and not reasonably
`
`calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. Plaintiff will construe the terms
`
`“Acceleration Bay,” “Plaintiff,” “You,” or “Your” wherever used to refer to Acceleration Bay
`
`LLC only.
`
`14.
`
`Plaintiff objects to the definition of “Prior Art” to the extent it is overly broad,
`
`burdensome and not reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence.
`
`Plaintiff further objects to this definition of “Prior Art” to the extent it calls for a legal conclusion
`
`and/or expert opinion.
`
`15.
`
`Plaintiff objects to the definition of “infringe,” “infringes,” “infringed” and
`
`“infringement” to the extent it exceeds the scope of claims of infringement brought by Plaintiff
`
`in this case. Plaintiff further objects to this definition to the extent it calls for a legal conclusion
`
`and/or expert opinion.

`
`Case 1:15-cv-00311-RGA Document 82-1 Filed 02/17/16 Page 10 of 62 PageID #: 2002

`
`Plaintiff objects to the definitions of “Relating to,” “related to,” “concerning,”
`
`“Thing,” “things,” “Person," “persons,” “Entity,” “entities,” “Documents,” “Communications,”
`
`or “communicated” to the extent they are vague and ambiguous, overly broad and unduly
`
`burdensome, and purport to place obligations on Plaintiff greater than allowed for under, broader
`
`than, or inconsistent with, the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and the local rules of this Court.
`
`17.
`
`Plaintiff objects to the Interrogatories to the extent they are compound and are
`
`comprised of multiple discrete subparts. Plaintiff will count each subpart as a separate
`
`Interrogatory pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 33(a). Plaintiff will not respond to
`
`Interrogatories in excess of the allotted number of Interrogatories established in the Court’s
`
`scheduling order.

`this Interrogatory seeks information protected by the attorney-client privilege, common interest
`
