`
`
`GOOGLE INC. AND YOUTUBE, LLC'S RESPONSES AND OBJECTIONS TO
`PLAINTIFF NETWORK-1 TECHNOLOGIES, INC.'S
`FIRST SET OF REQUESTS FOR ADMISSION
`
`Case No. 1:14-cv-02396-PGG
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Pursuant to Rules 26 and 36 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Defendants Google,
`
`Inc. and YouTube, LLC (together, "Google") by and through its undersigned counsel, hereby
`
`respond and object to the First Set of Requests for Admission (Nos. 1-215) (the "RFAs") of
`
`Plaintiff Network-1 Technologies, Inc. ("Network-1"), dated April 9, 2015.
`
`GENERAL RESPONSES
`
`1.
`
`Google's responses to the RFAs are based on the best information available to it at
`
`the time of drafting, within the limitations and subject to the objections set forth herein.
`
`2.
`
`The responses set forth below are for the purposes of discovery only, and Google
`
`neither waives nor intends to waive, but expressly reserves, any and all objections it may have to
`
`the relevance, competence, materiality, admission, admissibility, or use at trial of any
`
`information produced, identified, or referred to herein, or to the introduction of any evidence at
`
`trial relating to the subjects covered by such responses.
`
`
`
`

`

`Case 1:14-cv-02396-PGG-SN Document 241-11 Filed 11/12/20 Page 3 of 22
`
`
`
`3.
`
`The fact that Google is willing to answer or does not object to any RFA does not
`
`constitute an admission or acknowledgment that an RFA is proper, that the information it seeks
`
`is relevant or admissible or is within the proper bounds of discovery, or that RFAs for similar
`
`information or subject matter will be treated in a similar fashion. Furthermore, by making these
`
`responses, Google does not concede that it is in possession of any information responsive to any
`
`particular RFA, or that any non-privileged, responsive information actually exists. Nor does
`
`Google's response or objection to any Request or part thereof constitute an admission that
`
`Google accepts or admits the existence of any facts set forth or assumed by such Request, or that
`
`such responses or objections constitute admissible evidence.
`
`4.
`
`Google reserves the right at any time to revise, correct, add to, supplement, or
`
`clarify any of the responses propounded herein. Google further expressly reserves its right to
`
`rely, at any later time including trial, upon additional information not included in its specific
`
`responses.
`
`GENERAL OBJECTIONS
`
`1.
`
`Google objects to the RFAs to the extent that they call for information subject to a
`
`claim of privilege or immunity, including the attorney-client privilege, the attorney work-product
`
`doctrine, or any other applicable evidentiary privilege or immunity from disclosure. The
`
`inadvertent provision of any information subject to such privileges or immunities is not intended
`
`to relinquish any privilege or immunity and shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any
`
`applicable privilege or immunity.
`
`2.
`
`Google objects to the RFAs to the extent that they purport to impose discovery
`
`obligations beyond those set forth in the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the Local Rules of the
`
`Southern District of New York, and the Court's Scheduling Order (D.I. 31).

`
`

`

`Case 1:14-cv-02396-PGG-SN Document 241-11 Filed 11/12/20 Page 4 of 22
`
`
`
`3.
`
`Google objects to the RFAs to the extent that they are so vague, ambiguous or
`
`confusing as not to be susceptible to a reasoned interpretation or response. Google objects to the
`
`RFAs to the extent that terms including, but not limited to, "fingerprint," "Content ID system,"
`
`"Video ID," "Audio ID," and "technologies" are undefined, and therefore vague, ambiguous, and
`
`confusing as not to be susceptible to a reasoned interpretation or response.
`
`4.
`
`Google objects to the RFAs to the extent that they call for information unknown
`
`to Google.
`
`5.
`
`Google objects to the RFAs to the extent that they seek information not relevant
`
`to the claims or defenses of either party nor reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of
`
`evidence relevant to the subject matter involved in the Action.
`
`6.
`
`Google objects to the RFAs to the extent that they are duplicative, cumulative, or
`
`seek information that may be obtained from other sources or through other means of discovery
`
`that are more convenient, more efficient, more practical, less burdensome and/or less expensive.
`
`7.
`
`Google objects to the RFAs to the extent that they are overly broad, overly
`
`expansive, oppressive and/or unduly burdensome and would impose upon Google an
`
`unreasonable burden of inquiry.
`
`8.
`
`Google objects to the definition of "You" and "Your" as overbroad and unduly
`
`burdensome. Google will interpret "You" and "Your" to mean Google Inc. and YouTube, LLC.
`
`9.
`
`Google objects to the definition of "Accused Instrumentalities" as vague,
`
`ambiguous, overbroad, unduly burdensome, and not reasonably calculated to lead to the
`
`discovery of admissible evidence. Google interprets the term "Accused Instrumentalities" to be
`
`the products identified in Network-1's Disclosures of Asserted Claims and Infringement
`
`Contentions, served on July 21, 2014.

`

`Case 1:14-cv-02396-PGG-SN Document 241-11 Filed 11/12/20 Page 5 of 22
`
`
`
`10.
`
`Google expressly reserves the right to object to further discovery into the subject
`
`matter of the RFAs.
`
`11.
`
`Google objects to the RFAs as unduly burdensome to the extent that information
`
`requested is within the knowledge of Network-1, can be determined by referring to documents
`
`within the possession, custody and control of Network-1 or is within the public domain or
`
`otherwise more readily or equally available to Network-1 and thus more conveniently obtained
`
`by Network-1.
