`Chris, 
`
` 
`We have proposed claim narrowing multiple times throughout the proposed schedule
`negotiations, including in response to Neo’s proposal to limit the terms to be briefed during
`claim construction and to limit the pages for claim construction briefing. Because Neo
`continued to modify its Markman briefing proposal, the Defendants had to raise the issue
`again.  
`
` 
`But to finalize the proposed schedule for filing, please insert your responsive footnote to
`the Defendants’ existing proposal (Defendants will agree to the page limits if Neo narrows
`its claims). Please recirculate the final version for sign off by each Defendant prior to filing.
`
` 
`Thanks, 
`Liz

`Liz, 
`
`  
`Defendants already proposed claim narrowing at the very start of this process and then withdrew that proposal. We can 
`discuss reciprocal narrowing later in the case, but it’s too late to debate that on the day this filing is due. And we’re 
`certainly not going to agree to narrowing this aggressive, which is not even reciprocal. 
`
`  
`Given that, should we just add our responsive footnote to your existing proposal (leaving page limits as agreed, with the 
`only dispute being whether to have claim narrowing or not)? Or do you want to go back to 40/60/20 and drop the claim 
`narrowing dispute for defendants’ proposal?

`
`Bailey, 
`
` 
`Attached are Defendants’ final edits to the 26(f) report. We proposed modifying the
`Markman section to agree with Neo’s proposal regarding page limits (25/25/7) if Neo will
`agree to reduce the number of asserted claims. Please let us know if you agree to this
`proposal.

`Case 2:22-md-03034-TGB ECF No. 97-5, PageID.7953 Filed 11/04/22 Page 6 of 23
`
`  
`
`Attached please find Neo’s most recent draft of the Joint Proposed Scheduling Order with brief footnote arguments as 
`previously agreed.  
`
`  
`Regarding email discovery, we think the current dispute is too complicated, and don’t want the Court to have to wade 
`through all this minutiae for what is really a speculative dispute at this point. To that end, we have attempted one final 
`compromise. If Defendants agree that at least some e‐mail discovery can occur initially, we would agree that the initial 
`discovery can be very limited (two custodians), and leave any remaining disputes until later, when they are more 
`crystallized. We hope Defendants agree this is a more than fair way to proceed and reduce a dispute, and we have 
`accepted many of Defendants’ proposals for the initial two custodian requests. We have not redlined the proposal, but 
`highlighted some of the main changes for your reference. 
`
`  
`Similarly, regarding claim construction, we can agree to a 40/40/15 split page limit for the opening brief, response brief, 
`and reply brief if Defendants agree to the 10 term limitation per side. However, if Defendants do not agree to limit the 
`terms, Neo’s position will remain with the default Model Order split of 25/25/7.

`Hi Bailey –  
`
`  
`Attached please find a further updated draft.  We have accepted a number of the changes, and I have also cleaned up 
`the ESI section in an attempt to show where there are differences in the parties proposals at this time, and we can 
`discuss further on the call today.  
`
`  
`Thanks,

`Please find an updated version of the joint proposal attached that may be helpful to the parties’ call tomorrow. As 
`reflected in the attached, Neo agreed to some of Defendants’ changes and made additional redlined counterproposals. 
`Note that this version does not incorporate Defendants’ changes to Plaintiff’s proposed ESI order because we are still 
`considering them, to the extent we understand them, since Defendants proposal is that “the parties shall meet and 
`confer on a framework” for email discovery at a later date in the event it is “permitted.”

`Hi Bailey –  
`
`  
`Attached please find Defendants further edits to the scheduling order and discovery plan. We are available next 
`Wednesday morning to discuss on a further meet and confer. If that works for you, can you please circulate a dial‐in? 
`Also – we expect to have further suggestions on the ESI/email section and will try to provide those before Wednesday’s 
`call.  
`  
`I’m also attaching the requested engagement history for Mr. Stark (Mr. McNair’s was included in the CV I sent 
`previously). Please let us know if either of them are agreeable to Plaintiff.

`  
`Thank you. 
`
`  
`We have the same understanding with respect to the due date shifting to 9/14, so meeting and conferring next week is 
`fine.  
`
`  
`But we will oppose a two week shift of everything, since the change of the hearing date doesn’t change anything about 
`the deadlines we already agreed to. Given that we already managed to get 9 parties to agree on most of those, let’s not 
`take a step backwards. 
`
`  
`But we’ll look for your response to our other edits and compromise proposals, and please propose a time next week 
`when you’d like to have a call. 
`
`  
`On technical advisor, do let us know about the prior relationships/conflicts, but we can agree to Scott Woloson. 
`
`  
`Thanks, 
`Chris

`Chris – 
`
`  
`We have received your further edits to the schedule and discovery plan and will respond with our edits shortly.  We 
`anticipate shifting the dates out a couple of weeks in view of the new date for the status conference.  Further, it is our 
`understanding that the discovery plan/report is now due to the Court on September 14 (two days before the status 
`conference). As such, we would propose having a follow up meet and confer later next week after we send you our 
`further edits.  
`
`  
`Regarding technical advisors, Defendants do not believe that Mr. Yi or Mr. Egan have the appropriate background and 
`experience for the issues involved in these cases. We will check on the prior relationship question for our proposed 
`candidates and get back to you shortly.
