`Re: Oanda Corporation v. Gain Capital Holdings, Inc., et al.
`
`Civil Action No. 20-05784-ZNQ-DEA
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Dear Magistrate Judge Arpert:
`
`
`We along with our co-counsel Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati P.C., represent defendant
`
`GAIN Capital Holdings, Inc. and GAIN Capital Group, LLC (“GAIN”) in the above matter. We
`write in response to the letter submitted to the Court yesterday by Plaintiff OANDA Corporation
`(“OANDA”) (ECF No. 91).
`
`GAIN was surprised to receive Plaintiff’s letter that sought to raise alleged discovery issues
`
`that are premature and not yet ripe for the Court’s consideration. Indeed, the parties have met and
`conferred on Plaintiff’s document requests, and Defendants agreed to produce certain documents
`responsive to those requests. While Plaintiff has demanded that Defendants produce documents by
`September 10, that date has not yet passed, making OANDA’s letter to the Court premature.
`OANDA is further aware that Defendants will serve its invalidity and non-infringement contentions
`on September 17, along with a production of documents relating thereto, as stated in the Court’s
`amended scheduling order, as well as a further production of documents. (ECF 90).
`
` To the extent that OANDA is complaining about GAIN’s alleged lack of responsiveness to
`its latest emails, Plaintiff could have raised their concerns during the call between counsel on
`September 2nd. OANDA also could have used the telephone to call GAIN’s counsel on any of the
`days that followed to determine whether the issues were ripe for the Court. Having failed to do so,
`Plaintiff has now run to the Court prematurely. As planned, GAIN will produce documents on
`September 17 and will continue to meet and confer with Plaintiff to attempt to resolve specific
`
`
`

`
`GAIN respectfully asks that the Court reject Plaintiff’s application as premature and not
`
`ripe. We expect to move forward, continuing to fulfill our obligations to meet and confer regarding
`any differences between the parties regarding discovery with the expectation that OANDA will do
`the same without the need for premature Court applications.
`
` We thank the Court for its consideration and look forward to hearing from Your Honor at the
`Court’s earliest convenience.

`
`
`1 In light of the premature nature of OANDA’s rush for relief, we have not provided a detailed
`response to each of the allegations in OANDA’s letter to Your Honor, but would be happy to do so
`if the Court believes it would be helpful.
