`RE: Univ. of Mass. Med. School and Carmel Labs., LLC v. L’Oréal S.A. and L’Oréal USA,
`Inc.
`
`Dear Naveen:
`
`Thank you for your letter of July 7, 2017. It is an inauspicious way to start a dialogue with
`opposing counsel by insinuating a Rule 11 violation. Rest assured, our firms have conducted a
`good faith investigation that more than satisfies Rule 11. Our experience is that further letter-
`writing campaigns on this point make little sense. We strongly disagree that we have somehow
`failed to adequately plead infringement. If, however, you believe in good faith that we have not
`adequately pleaded something, then make your motion. We look forward to interacting with
`you in a cooperative and friendly manner.
`
`On a separate note, can you please let us know whether you will accept service on behalf of
`L’Oreal S.A.? Should you accept, we will of course be amenable to a reasonable extension for
`you to file your responsive pleading on behalf of both defendants. I have included only you and
`Amina Ashraf on this email but please let us know whether we should include others from your
`firm or prior settlement counsel.
`
`Regards,
`
`Justin
