`JOINT MOTION FOR TELECONFERENCE TO RESOLVE DISCOVERY DISPUTES
`
`WHEREAS, pursuant to the District Court’s April 13, 2023 Oral Order referring all

`

`
`
`
`Order to produce documents that post-date 2014 in response to Netflix’s Requests for
`
`Production; and
`
`5. Netflix’s request to compel Robocast to respond to Netflix’s Interrogatory No. 15,
`
`seeking Robocast’s sources of revenue and expenses from the date of conception of the
`
`Asserted Patents through patent expiration.
`
`The parties are scheduling a meet and confer on additional issues next week. Netflix’s
`
`position is that it would be most efficient for the Court to hear all disputes at once. Robocast’s
`
`position is that the Court should hear disputes for which the parties are already at an impasse rather
`
`than wait to include issues for which impasse is, at best, speculative. Should additional issues
`
`become ripe for either party, the parties agree to file joint motions regarding such additional issues.
`
`The following attorneys, including at least one Delaware Counsel and at least one Lead
`
`Counsel per party, participated in verbal meet-and-confers by telephone on September 18, 2023,
`
`October 27, 2023, and November 2, 2023 regarding the items above:
`
`Delaware Counsel: Stephen Brauerman, Ronald P. Golden (for Robocast); Kelly E.
`
`Farnan, Sarah Metzler (for Netflix)
`
`Lead Counsel: Steven Rizzi, Ramy Hanna, William Ellerman, Ari Rafilson, Casey
`
`Shomaker, Sam Moore (for Robocast); Diane Ghrist; Tara Elliott, Kimberly Li (for Netflix)
`
`The parties are available for a teleconference on the following dates, or at the Court’s
`
`convenience:1
`
` Monday, November 20, 2023
`
` Tuesday, November 28, 2023 (before 4:00 pm EST)
`
`
`1 Robocast is also available for a teleconference on November 14, 15 (after 12pm EST), 17, or 21,
`but Netflix has represented it is not available on those dates.
